GLOBALISATION is it a MENACE or a BOON??? (τα πλεονεκτήματα- μειονεκτήματα της Παγκοσμιοποίησης αναφερόμενα από Proficiency τάξη)

     There is dispute over globalisation affecting people internationally. Some consider it to be a menace in terms of a shrinking world since the majority of national and local governments lose power  for the world government to take over, leaving out political extremism. Additionally, international brand names, dominate in the world market whilst their wiping out the local market of every nation.
     Some others view it as a boon, for the internet contributes to dissemination of news worldwide and to technological advancements in education. Further more, music and film industry promote globally home entertainment. The bottom line is that globalisation can not tame free will.

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.

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...
