A fairy tale: Snow White

                                                               THE PLOT





Once upon a time there was a queen and a king in a far-away kingdom who wished they had a baby. Some years later they managed to have a little girl whose name was Snow White. Unfortunately, her mother died and when Snow White was 7 years old, her father got married to a beautiful but mean woman. The new queen didn't want Snow White in the castle.

The queen had a magic mirror which she used to ask every day if she was the most beautiful woman of all ....  
                                                                                                       
When Snow White grew up, she became a very beautiful woman whom
 everyone loved  because of her kindness, except for the evil queen. One day
 the queen told one of her servants to kill Snow White but he told her to run away instead.

Snow White ran into the forest because she was afraid. Suddenly she saw a little house.
She was tired so she got into the house where she saw seven little beds. She slept
in one of them and when she woke up, she saw seven dwarfs looking at her. She told
them everything and they told her she could stay at their home.





One day the queen, dressed up as a poor woman,went to the little house and gave Snow White an apple. When she ate it, she fell down.
One day a handsome prince saw Snow White and fell in love with her. When he kissed her, she woke up.
Some days later they got married and lived happily ever after!

The island of Dr Moreau


THE PLOT
  • While a ship was sailing in the South Pacific, it went down and the only passenger that was rescued was Edward Prendick. A passenger on another ship took care of him while they were on board. He was a short man with a hairy neck and long black hair; his name was Montgomery. Montgomery was  a famous biologist who had abandoned urban life because other scientists didn't agree with his theory and experiments.

  • One day the captain of the ship sent Dr Moreau and Montgomery to an island. Prendick lived in a small house but he was not allowed to go to Moreau's laboratory. One night, while Prendick was sleeping, he heard a noise. He quickly went out and saw a puma running in the forest... He was hurt by it. Montgomery and Moreau told Prendick that they turned animals into humans! Some of them had to be killed because they were very dangerous. Some days later Prendick and Montgomery killed a lot of animals that ate meat.

  • One day Prendick and Montgomery gave a party where some animal men and Moreau were invited. At the end of it some meat eaters attacked them and killed them all. Prendick was left alone with the meat eaters. A few months later some sailors from the ship Ipecacuancha arrived. They wanted to see if Montgomery and Moreau were still alive .....  
                                                

                                                     THE MAIN CHARACTERS  
               Montgomery
                    He is short. 
                    He has long black hair and a hairy neck.

                 Prendick    
                                                           
                 He is tall.           
                 He has short curly blond hair.  
                 He usually wears white shirts and baggy trousers.

                               THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT

                     
                I think that the most important event of the story is when Prendick 
                discovers that the strange creatures are animals. In my opinion,
                this part is the most important

               because from this point on the plot becomes more interesting.

                                                             MY OPINION 

               I recommend this book to my classmates because I know that they
               will enjoy it!

Athens

                                     

Athens, the capital of Greece, is the most attractive and beautiful place!

Athens has a lot of interesting and ancient monuments like the Acropolis and the Parthenon.There are also other places worth visiting like the war museum or the Acropolis museum, which has recently been renovated. Besides sightseeing, tourists can also go to restaurants to taste delicious greek dishes or to a cosy café where
they can have a cup of coffee and relax.

I think that Athens is and will always be the most beautiful capital in the world!

My best friend

I saw Bill for the first time in a café two years ago and we've been friends since then.

He is really outgoing so he likes going to parties and he enjoys meeting new people. He is so kind that everyone gets along with him. He is very funny and he can cheer everyone up. Actually, he has a great sense of humour so he often makes me laugh. Billy is also a bit easy going but although he has a lot of positive qualities, he is very stubborn and quick tempered. That's why we usually fight.

Bill and I have the same hobbies. We are keen on skateboarding and mountain biking. We go skateboarding in the park every weekend!  We are into rock music. Our favourite groups are AC - DC  and Red Hot Chilly Peppers.

Billy is my best friend because he is funny and because I know that he is the person I  can rely on.

Dear Paul,
                     
Hi! How are you? I am writing to describe Agria, the place where I spent my Christmas holidays.
Agria  is a village near Volos. It is a wonderful place which combines sea and mountains. It also has great taverns that offer delicious dishes.

A place worth visiting in Agria is the hotel " Valis "where I stayed for one week. The hotel has a big garden and a huge parking area. It has an amazing view and its front part is covered with palm trees. It is a wonderful place for someone to relax.

My holidays in Agria  were unforgettable!!! What about you? Where did you spend your Christmas holidays?

See you soon.
Mary
