Question Paper ESB B2 December 2011 (mock exam prep.) - Cb., pg. 272, ESB Level 1 B2-Writing (An Informal Letter to an exchange student about attending college to your hometown) (200 words) by Super Course

Dear Mary,

 Introduction (Reason for Writing): I'm so glad that you're coming to stay with me and my family for two whole weeks. I'm writing to answer the questions you asked in the letter you sent me.

 Para 2 (life in town, what the college is like): First of all, since you're coming in late spring ,it would be advisable to bring light clothes and a jacket. The weather is mild most of the time , but, it can get a bit chilly at nights. As for my college, it's one of the best and oldest in the country , so, you won't be disappointed.  It has excelllent sports facilities ,so, you can play whatever sport you like while you are here.

 Para 3 ( activities to do after classes and at the weekend): The town I live in, is one of the busiest in Paros, Paroikia. There are many street cafe's bars and night clubs and as it is by the sea ,various events take place along the pier ,in spring and in summer, too. We can go jogging or for long walks there and gaze at the sunset from the "Mill" ,outside the "Pandrossos Hotel". Another thing we could do is visit the museum , archaeological sites and the "Ekatontapyliani church" that are located in the town itself. 

 Conclusion (closing remarks): I'm really excited that you're coming. I'm sure you'll love it here and you'll want to come back. I hope you 'll find my letter informative and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

 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...

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.
