Writing - A Report (a model) (FCE level) (Level B1+ class)

To:  Ms Andreopoulou
From:  Vivi Skandali
Subject: Alyki Sportsfield
Date:  Friday 30th December ,2011






Introduction:  The aim of this report is to give information about the Alyki Sportsfield , to discuss and evaluate its positive and negative points.

Information:  "Alyki Sportsfield" is located in the area of Saint Nikolas's chapel by the first bus stop.  It is open every day, except bank holidays from 9:00 a.m to 11:00 p.m. There is no entrance fee because it is public free space, so it is open to anyone wanting to do sports.


Good and Bad Points: This sportsfield is a multiplex ,covering a football pitch ofr its fans, a basketball court for its players and a tennis court for its athletes wishing to train for any imminent tournaments they ought to compete in the near future.  The basketball court is equipped with night lighting, ideal for those training for games they have with rival teams. All the areas of the sportsfield provide for well-trained teams with uniforms taking part in sports competitions with their instructors/coaches.  The sportsfield also provides for a separate playground area, ideal for younsters and toddlers to kill their time with their parents, being undisturbed by older children and teenagers training for sports competitions. Also a kiosk and a chapel in the area keep both parents and grandparents busy, once they accompany their children/grandchildren to it for entertainment.
Unfortunately,  the football pitch does not include nay night lighting making it difficult for young children to practise their favourite sport at night and even to train for  their matches with rival teams. Furthermore,  it does not contain any grass to prevent injuries and accidents as well as grandstands for spectators to watch their favourite matches or practices live!!! Finally, the sportsfield doesn't have a shelter overhead, making it ialmost impossible for young athletes to compete, train and practise their sports in extreme weather conditions!!!

Recommendation:  On the whole,  the sportsfield is worth visiting and training , despite the inadequate facilities.  It is a great evening out for grandparents and their grandchildren to kill their time and also a favourite pastime for teenagers to meet their friends in the village and practise sports away from gangs and drugs.

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...
