Don' t worry Helen. Maybe Jill feels that she can't do her homework by herself. Here's an idea. Sign Jill up for after -school course for 2 hours every day. Make sure that she does her homework with teachers and when she finishes at 16:00 p.m., she can get the school bus home.   When she arrives at home ,Jill and Helen can do the chores together and prepare dinner for all ,with the TV and the  phone locked by Dad.  So,all the family can have dinner in the evening, watch TV, phone friends  and their house is clean!

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?

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.
