Some more funny videos! xD

This is a video about funny animals.I'm sure it will crack you up! :D

Aaand, now a video about babies. Beware of the cuteness! :)

Funny videos!

This adorable dog in the video above is obviously very attached to its owner. That means that he has treated his cute dog with a lot of love and caring. However, as you will realize, this gorgeous dog is very anxious when it is in a car and that’s why it needs to hold somebody’s hand all the time, but this can be annoying when you have to drive and hold your dog’s hand.

In this video, a cat is sitting on the toilet and it wants some privacy to relax on its own. That’s why it closes the door.

Enjoy it!

Funny videos of cats! :D

In this funny video there are two cats which may be in the attic. One of them tries to climb down the ladder and in order to succeed it its friend gives it a “helping” hand in fact.

This fatty cat is very scared of something and it tries to escape in a really unexpected way.

An application letter

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing regarding a place in the reality show of ‘Big Brother’ as advertised in the last edition of ‘The News’.

I would really like to participate in this show because I have a lot of experience which will be helpful. First of all, I have been playing different kinds of board games and team games at school. Furthermore, I have solved many crosswords and have done many puzzles.

I have always wanted to take part in a reality show because I believe that it would be a great opportunity to meet and talk with other people, as I am a sociable and outgoing person. In addition, I would like to obtain some experience in reality TV, since that has always been my dream.

I speak English fluently because I have been studying the English language for eight years. I hold a certificate of FCE level and I have visited England twice. Moreover, I think I am a very clever person. I would be grateful if you would consider me. You can contact me on 56237135272.

Article regarding teachers!

A teacher who makes the difference

Have toy ever had a teacher who has been important in your life? Well, I have met lots of teachers. However, only one has made the difference and has influenced me the most. It’s my German teacher, Mrs. Perdikaki.

 One of the main reasons she’s been important is her character. She’s very funny and that quality makes her very likeable to all her students. That’s why she doesn’t only tell jokes during the lesson but she also encourages us to talk and give our opinions.

Additionally, her lessons are enjoyable and very interesting. This is partly because we do projects, watch videos and sometimes play games. That’s how she makes us understand the German language more easily. Furthermore, she tries to motivate us to participate in the lessons and she listens carefully to what we say.

Mrs. Perdikaki is one of the best teachers that I have ever had. I wish she taught us all the school subjects in order to enjoy ourselves in every lesson. 

Formal letter (application)

Dear Mr. Papadakis,

I am writing regarding the position of tourist information assistant in your tourist information booth as advertised in yesterday’s edition of ‘The News’.

I am 17 years old and I am in year 3 at senior high school. I believe I am the ideal candidate for the job. I speak English very fluently since I have been studying the English language for seven years. Furthermore, I hold a certificate at ECCE level and I have visited England twice. I would like to earn my own income and I also believe it would be a great opportunity to practice my English and get the chance to meet other people.

I consider myself a hard-working person. I help out the family business in the summer and I volunteer in local environmental events. Moreover, I am very enthusiastic. I am interested in the town history and I am proud of it. I also want visitors to enjoy what I do.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Christina Mavradonaki

The ideal summer lessons ;P

What would the ideal summer lessons be like?

Personally, I think that in order to learn and prepare ourselves for the ECCE test in December in such a short period of time, the lessons have to be enjoyable, not only for us, but for our teachers too. I believe that using our school’s computers would be a very amusing way to practice our English. Having a blog has helped me improve my English skill in a very fun way. In my opinion, having to sit in front of a desk all day, studying, is not the best way of learning. We can also play games in class in order to revise our vocabulary and grammar. We have already done it once in the past and I am sure that both the students and our teacher had a lot of fun. However, playing games all day long will not be much help. We could also watch some educational videos or even movies to improve our English. To conclude, I believe that if the lessons are well-organized and we have fun in class, this summer will be unforgettable!

Summer lessons! :D

What would the ideal 

summer lessons be like?

From my point of view, I believe that our summer lessons in Markaki-Markoulaki English Language School should be marvelous. First of all, it’s a good idea to play different games all together. In my opinion, it’s a very efficient way to learn how to speak and write in English by having fun and enjoying ourselves. I would also like to go to our computer building very often and spend some time there surfing the Net or visiting our blogs and enriching them with our new excellent posts or doing exercises from our CDs. However, the best thing that we should do is not having lessons but I’m sure that in the future we won’t regret it. 

A Story!

“The new Einstein”

In the summer of 2006, I was in Athens, in order to visit my uncle, Sebastian, who is a very good scientist. One day, he took me to his laboratory to show me his new invention.

It was a big, purple hat, like the ones witches wear, with lots of yellow stars.

“Could you, please, try my invention?” he asked.

I put it on and within seconds I felt so dizzy that I had to sit down. I felt like my head was about to burst. My uncle looked as if he wanted to cry with joy. He was very curious and nervous to see the results of his invention.

So, he gave me a piece of paper with the most difficult mathematical calculations. I solved them faster than any computer. It was a hat which gave you amazing mathematical abilities. The invention worked exactly as Sebastian had expected. He was very proud of himself and satisfied, as well.

“You can keep it, if you want” he said.

Since then, I have been the best student at maths. That’s why everyone calls me “The new Einstein”. Everyone, that is, expect the scientist who made it possible.
