Halloween school story

A year ago, on Halloween… The day started good. I went to school as usual and after Math’s class has finished I went back home. I wanted to get ready for the Halloween party. After I was ready I realized that my plans were in vain. I didn't have my cell phone with me! My mum words came back into my mind:”If you do not have your mobile phone with you, you won’t go anywhere.” Probably I forgot it at school. Outside was getting darker and darker, faster than usually, but I went back to school. I arrived at school and noticed something strange, even if outside was warm, here I was frizzing. Anyway I continued waking, searching my dear phone. Suddenly I saw a little girl, I didn't know her but I wanted to ask her if she have seen my phone. Now I was near her. I smiled at her and she at me. In that moment my hart stop beating. The child had two pointy fangs and her eyes were, now, red as blood. She was approaching so I started running. Unfortunately the creature was faster than me. I am actually not sure if her legs were touching the floor. Because of the schoolbag lying in the middle of the hall I fall. She was exactly near me. Now many thoughts were in my mind: I will die or I will become such a horrible creature? Suddenly something unexpected happened: I was standing in my bad. Fortunately everything was a dream.

A book or a movie?

Today many people choose to watch a film instead of reading a book Films represent a good source of entertaining. First the film can develop your imagination, because you can see many interesting landscapes, good actors… Moreover it last more time to read a book than watch a movie Furthermore the film is made by a large number of people, starting from the director and ending to the cleaning crew. Reading is helpful. Firstly it develops your vocabulary, your ability of using words in a proper way. It also improves your general culture. It makes you think about different aspects of your life, and finding the possibilities of a proper solution Everyone can decide for himself. For me the best way finding answers is watching a film

Review of a film

The successful movies Pirates of Caribbean come with a forth film: On stranger tides. The style is the same: a combination of action, love and comedy. But some things have changed especially at distribution: The main character, Jack Sparrow was very well played by Jonny Deep. Unfortunately in this movie Orlando Bloom and Kate… are not playing any more. Instead a lot of new characters have appeared: Like Jack ex girl friend (Penelope Cruz) and new anomies Blackbeard. In my opinion they should concentrate more about Jack instead of putting another love story between a mermaid and a priest. Anyway the good and specific music, the funny dialogs, the great actor make it an extraordinary movie. Moreover the special effects will impress you. The story is good, the mermaids being really beautiful and it also has a perfect ending. You have to watch it.

Diary Entry


Dear diary,
It is the third day we are spending in Greece. Here in Vourvourou (in Khalkidhiki peninsula), the green mountains combines in a spectacular way with the diamond blue sea.
Today is a big day. We are going to ride a boat and visit the wonderful island near our resort. I heard that is a special place. And my father will ride by himself a boat. I can’t wait.
                                                         *****
There was more than I expected. I felt extraordinary. I had such a feeling of freedom and happiness when the boat was flying over the waves. When the boat was running very fast, I laugh with all my soul and heart. Really, I never felt so happy in my life. People usually don’t realize that they are happy in that moment, but looking retrospectively. But for me in those moments the happiness was palpable. I was happy and I knew it. The beauty of the landscapes was completing that amazing state. I felt like I was in Haven. I wished it would never finish!
And some other extraordinary feeling was to jump over the boat in to the deep crystal clear water.
                                                          *****
I can’t say how beautiful it is to swim between colorful algae and fishes of all shapes and sizes. Here, if you make snorkeling, you can discover sea urchins (avoid them) and the amazing underwater world.    

Fast Food Restaurants


Today many people eat from this kind of restaurants.
Unfortunately, this can be extremely harmful.
First, the food is extremely unhealthy.
It contains a lot of processed aliments, rich in carbohydrates, calories and fats. That’s why most of the people who use to eat in this kind of restaurants, gain weight. For example in USA, where the rate of obesity it’s very high this is in a big proportion because of this habit of eating in fast foods.
Some people say that the ingredients in this food are horrible like lefts from animals (skin, fat, cartilages, low quality meat etc).
Furthermore the food is not fresh. It’s prepared a long time ago, frozen and is only heated on site.
Moreover it creates addiction, but I don’t know why (at least, this happens to me). The more I eat the more I want it.
Anyway it offers some advantages.
Firstly you can have the food from the moment you’ve ordered it in 1-3 minutes, while in a restaurant, where the food is freshly prepared it would take 20-30 minutes.
In addition is cheaper, almost every one can buy from here.
Plus the fact that you can find them everywhere. You don’t have to walk a lot in order to find one.
You don’t need a reservation. You can go there any time you want.
Nowadays, when we have less and less time to spend with cooking, buying fresh food, staying home, eating at fast food restaurants is a convenient alternative. But fast food can be harmful if you don’t eat it with moderation. In my opinion is better if we don’t go there very often.

Animal testing Essay

                          Testing on animals

     Testing on animals has improves the medicine area during the years. To my mind, this is an extaorinary thing.
     Testing on animals has made our lives a better place. Firstly, many people have been saves from death because of the medicines made, after testing on animals. Making alwys searches for beauty and confort. Testing on animal offer protection for people, who use these beauty prouds. Testing on animals helps medicines to find new cures foe ill people, such as cancer.
     On the other hand, testing on animals can be considered cruel for many people. A main reason could be the fact that not all of them are kept in the best conditions. Because of the injections that are made, animal are hurt and they suffer a lot. Furthemore, most of the animals loose their life in experiments like these. Animals because they breed a lot and don't compare to people, they represent the perfect option to save our lives. Also, rats are killed in a noble way.
     To sum up, testing on animals has huge advantages that deserve small sacrifices. To my mind testing on animals is a resonable way to save lives.

Using animals for entertainment

 Today many people relax watching advertisements or seeing movies with animals. If they have good conditions and only a few are used, it cannot be so bad.
Most of the animals feel bad.
Firstly the animals are hurt, when they are training. The tricks are usually difficult and exhausting, and the animals cannot succeed from the first time.  
Moreover because of the high difficulty of the tricks and the fact, that not all of them are good treated, some of them die. Is not a good way to die, when the trainers beat you or they do not give you enough food.  
Another big disadvantage is that they do not live in their natural habitat, running, roasting, surviving. No, they are kept in cages suffering and probably dreaming at freedom and how would it be.
Using animals for entertainment make people feel better.
It is science proved that everyone who sees a pup becomes more tranquil, because we have a hormone of happiness that it begins to secrete when you see something nice and little.
Furthermore is an efficient way that people can use to forget their worries. When you see a puppy, the only thing that you are thinking is how nice it can be.
In addition animals, in general, reduce the stress. Why? Because they are funny, especially, when they make amusement tricks.
To sum up using animals for entertainment can be a good thing, if they have all the conditions that they need. To my mind, if they feel that they are loved, they happy to please you.

  • I will make a greener city, and I will save the old buildings, that are destroyed, in order to make a city with a specific, old air.  

Socializing networks


  Today many people communicate throw those. To my mind is not the best thing.
  Socializing networks can affect you in a bad way.
  Firstly these discourage the natural way that people should communicate: face to face. Plus the fact that most of the people are strangers, that you probably consider “friends”.
 Moreover the people that you are talking with, Can lie very easily, because most of the time, you do not see their faces. They can pretend someone else.
 To addition if you are not carefully they will find personal data about you. This can end into antisocial actions like: breaking houses, etc.
  Socializing networks create also addiction. You will end staying all the day at computer, communicating with different persons.
  Anyway is very hard to give up.
 
On the other hand these ways of communication can have a lot of facilities.
The main advantage is that you can speak with every one you want all over the world.
Furthermore you can find people, friends from childhood that you probably did not keep in touch, and you wonder how they are.
However is chipper then phone talking or taking the bus in order to meet your friends. You also save time.  
Another advantage is that you can share photographs, experiences with your friends.
To sum up, those ways of communication can be a good thing, if you use them with moderation. In my opinion these invade your personal life and alienate you so I do not agree with them.



Recommendation of a place for holiday

I love seaside and swimming, but I also like the mountains so  I chose to recommend an
island where the green rocks are fusing with the blue water.
If you are a landscape lover like me, you will find Thassos a treasure. It is an amazing piece of land in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, in Greece.This place is reach in the whitest marble in the world.They believe that the famous ancient Greek statues were made from this wonderful rock.You can find beaches where the sand is replaced by little pieces of marble. There is also  a roman amphitheater who rise from the middle of the forest who brings you back in time.
Here you can find gold beaches, ink blue water, in some places, in others crystal blue one,or hight mountains. Here the sea doesn't have waves, which is a big disadvantage for me , but as I saw it is only my opinion.
This is also the place where I saw the most beautiful landscapes,and where i saw the best sunsets. I can't describe how wonderful it is,you have to see it. Many water sports, trips are very popular
on these island, as scuba diving (the under water life is very colorful , you can see fishes that you probably have seen at Discovery Chanel).
It has a nice night life , with many clubs and shops.Practical is a combination of relaxing and fun.

The  Mediterranean cuisine is a special one: sea fruits, fish,olives and fresh oranges.You must not forget the wines which are famous. They even say that Cleopatra herself bought these special drinks from here. You must taste the pine honey. It's a delight to find pieces of figs, nuts or pumpkin  in it.
This is a place blessed by God you must see in order to believe.

Has technology ruined childhood?

In my opinion it has a lot. Why? I’ll try to explain you in the follow paragraphs.
Children play outside less nowadays. In the past, obesity didn’t exist. (Of curse some of the rich people were fat). Everybody knows that if you are obese you are at great risk of diabetes, heart diseases etc. So, the fact that all these aspects of technology (communicating on messenger, playing games on computer, watching films etc.) restrains you in the house, affects your health a lot.
Humans are always searching for perfection and they do search for it in actions like: playing on computer, watching TV, making new friends on socializing network etc., but unfortunately they don’t reach their goal. You won’t be able to make friends anymore. The sentiment of being alone is overwhelming, and the man can’t live in loneliness, because he is a social person. This drives you to alienation. People don’t know anymore who they are, where they are, who they belong to…
In order to understand how dependent on technology we are, imagine a world, where there is no more electricity, because of a calamity (e.g. a solar storm). Everything: internet, TV, cooker, light, warm water will be cut off. On the other hand, public transportation, banks, shops, hospitals will not work anymore. What will happen?! It will be a general chaos. People won’t be able to cook, or to find food, they can’t survive. They will fight for a milk box. A new world war will appear. Disaster.
So in order to prevent this we must relearn to live simpler lives.
People must learn to spend more time in nature, and to try to have real face to face relationship, not imaginary ones, like internet gives you.
