An informal letter to a friend -ESB Class (FCE level)

Dear Sophie

Hello! How are you? I'm writing to tell you about my latest news!!! My school exams have finished, I've passed them all with full marks and now, I'm all ready to go on holidays for some rest and relaxation!!! I think I deserve it after such hard work and many sleepless nights being spent on books studying for exams!
 Actually, my parents are thinking of sending me out to Paros for a weekend some time next month! So, what do you say? Do you want to join in???? I need company to let off some steam....So, what do you say? Are you in for it?



For sure, I know that July is the ideal month for us to have a short break away from routine and right before we get a summer job! I beleive each one of us needs some money to get by!
Anyway, once you come in July, in the mornings ,after a light breakfast, we'll head off to Farangas beach for a dive into its crystal blue seawaters and the classic "Greek Frappe`" to sip under the beach umbrella by the sea trees to gape in the horizon and enjoy the summer breeze... We 'll also have our bodies tattooed by Sarah by the beach bar with the coolest cocktail and Helena's gorgeous smile....

As for the afternoons, we'll get back to Alyki for a mouth watering cheeseburger , home-made from fresh ingredients from Manolis's mum's farm- fresh meat with herbs , tomatoes and potato chips- at his cafe`, with the most delicious vegetarian pizza " Margherita" -olives, green peppers, onion, feta cheese, mushrooms, fresh tomatoes ,olive oil, basil, oregano and thin ,soft dough...hmmm..perfect!

And at nights, we'll spend them dancing away at the "Maistrali Club" with all the latest hits from Summer Greek and foreign hip -hop , techno music- ideal for all tastes...and return to our jouse in the early hours!!!!
What do you think of it?

I can't wait for July to come . Also, I'll be waiting for you to come eagerly...I can't wait to hear from you soon..so..write back soon and let me know what you think...

See you soon.
Bye.


Best Wishes
Vivi

A Film Review (an informal letter) by Mary Skiada -ESB Class (FCE Level)

Image
Dear Tasso Hello! How are you? Sorry that I haven't written to you for so long , but, I was on holidays to Miami.  Now, I'm back home. Yesterday I watched a great film and I really thought you'd might like to see it! The film is called "In a mess" and it is set in Greece, in a poor neighbourhood. Most scenes take place in a traditional grocery and the main characters are Pantelis (known as George Pantelidis)- the shop owner and Zikos (known as Kostas Hatzihrstos)- the shop assistant. In it, Pantelis falls in love with Litsa, the daughter of a bus inspector . with whom he dearly wants to marry; unfortunately, she wants to marry an electricity employee, Babis. Her father decides to marry Litsa with Pantelis, because he's richer than their family. But, Litsa says " No!" What will happen next? Well, you have to see it!   What I liked about it, was the keen sense of humour and the actors' deadly cues, particularly Hatzihrstos' ones! I...

Dear Mary,      Introduction (about what kind of place it is): I was so happy to get your letter and I'm glad you're thinking about going on holiday to Paros. It's a beautiful island and the perfect holiday destination.     Para 2 ( things you can do there, best accommodation options): Paros combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with picturesque , traditional locations. You can find many five-star hotels on the island , most of which offer affordable package deals. Of course, there are also many inexpensive rooms and studios. The beaches are ideal with crystal-clear waters and the most popular ones are Piso Alyki, Saint George in Antiparos and Kolimbithres in Naoussa. If you go to Saint George in Antiparos , you must definitely visit the Cave with Stalactites and Stalagmites and the 500 stairs. Here, you can take the bus from the town of Antiparos to take you up the hill to see the Cave.     Para 3 (what you like about it, anything else of interest):...

CPE /ECPE Essay : The merits of listening to music"

It is an undeniable fact that music features in all our lives. Simultaneously, it is widely believed that many members of our society undervalue professional musicians and, by extension, the teaching of it. In this essay, i will attempt to cover both aspects, as well as outlining some of the merits of playing and listening to music.    What is the role of music nowadays? The reality is that music is more available to us than ever before. It is likely for us to listen to music on an MP4 ,a mobile, even to download music from the internet.   Furthermore, it is usually the case that you can find live music in small local venues, such as parties, social gatherings, open fairs, even bazaars for CD sales. Bands are hired for parties, who may never seem to record a CD or , if they still do, they will earn  substantially minimal earnings.     Professional musicians are seen as highly -skilled individuals ,yet their income doesn't reflect their artistic talent...
