    Hi Tom,


    I'm having a fantastic time in Rio. The people are really friendly . Carnival is so crazy! The costumes are fantastic and everybody's out on the streets, dancing day and night! I'm exhausted and there are still 2 more days of it! The sound of Samba music is non-stop. The atmosphere is electric- I really can't describe it! Haven't done any sightseeing  yet, and ,to be honest, I don't  think I will!


    Mary

    Question Paper ESB 2012 May: ESB Level 1 B2 Writing: An Informal Letter to an English-speaking friend about going on a holiday to place that s/he had visited before- Cb. pg. 288, Past Papers ,exam prep. by SuperCourse

    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):...

    Αλήθεια τι είναι η Favella? Που βρίσκεται? Τι γίνεται εκεί? Μια μικρή έρευνα από την Intermediate τάξη μας! (πηγή Rio De Janeiro -Unit 6 ,Journeys B1, Coursebook- Hillside Press, published in 2010

      (video taken : www.google.com/youtubevideos)  (account: pandreopoulou02@gmail.com) Favela (which is a Brazilian-Portuguese word for "slum) is the name given to the very poor areas of Rio.     The favelas are neighbourhoods with poorly-made homes that have usually been built by the people living in them.     Although they 're racially-mixed , the majority were created when black slaves were given their freedom in 1888, but had no jobs or homes to go to.         It's impossible to drive a car into most favelas because the streets are very narrow.     In these alleys , crime rates are very high because of the gang culture that exists there.

    ESB Class: Writing- an informal letter to Amelia about internet use and safety: Source: Journeys B2 , pg. 73 &172- Writing Appendix , published in 2010 by Hillside Press

    Dear Amelia, Introduction:   Thanks for your letter. It's great that you're getting a computer. I've just read an article about internet safety ,so I thought I'd let you know a little about what is said. Para 2: According to the  article,  being able to access the Net from home is great. First, you could keep in touch with friends with e-mail and in chatrooms. Secondly, it makes doing research for schoolwork really easy , once you can greatly improve your school grades ,after you've got  your computer with its internet access. Another point worth mentioning is that you could easily download music and films , play online games and buy things like concert tickets, books ,clothes ,accessories and shoes. In fact, it's really convenient and I've never had any problems doint it, myself included . retrieved from www.googleimages.com Para 3:   On the other hand, parents and teachers fear that we may neglect our schoolwork , if we decide to spend t...
