How are you? I am fine and I just came back from Summerhill and I learned that you are planning to go there too so I am going to write you about my experience.

Well summerhill is a really different school whith almost no rules. For example children can sleep . They don't have to go on lessons they don't like

An other thing that it is different in Summerhill is the classes. Kids go on classes based on their knowledge and no at their age.

I really liked this school because it wasn't pressing and it has more fun than the others and I thing that you are very lucky to have the opportunity to spend time over there. I am waiting for your answer I hope you like it.
See you,
Silia

Well he was in college and there was the thanksgiving, so he and his friends decided to go to his uncle and aunt's house to yhang out all together, just because his uncle and aunt weren't there. So his uncle and aunt didn't care they said it was fine so the were all about to start to go to Boston where his uncle lives. So they were on road when suddenly they were running out of gas ang they stopped at the gas staytion, where nears it there were restaurants and shops. He said tyhe wanted to go to McDonald's and his friend's girlfriend Emily wanted a dosa in a cup of coffe. But the woman behind the counter didin't speak english but probably spanish and Emily realised that she has given to her a warm cup of soda and she spited out the drink. I think that maybe it was just coffee i didn;t understand very well ☻

Here in Greece some students should be received some sort of special help in school

Joy and play should be involved as a part of the curiculum

Teenagers are supposed to go school later that 8:15 like 10:00 because they need sleep

In Finland school subject scrapped and replaced with 'topics' as country reforms its education system

In Greece should be done the law to write at schools only one stanardize test for the whole year

I couldn't just stay in a place for a lot of hours without doing anything.That's why I want to spend my summer holidays in New Zealand where all extreme sports began.

New Zealand is a great country with a lot of things to do.First of all is a very beautiful country and you won't be boring by explain it.Has mountains ,so you can spend hours by or draw some of beautiful lakes or rivers and spend some guility time with your self.

For dare devil people like me New Zealand is foul of extreme sports.You can do bungie jumping, skydiving or zip lifting.You can also have fun by doing rafting or canyong in the rivers.New Zealand is the only country in the hole world where you can do Zorb in Rotorua.This is something like a game where you go in a plastic ball (orb) and you roll dawn a hill.You have to be careful with all of these sports although you may hurt yourself

Well as I said before I would like to spend my summer in new Zealand because there are a lot of sports and I like adventure. Most I want to try zip lifting and Zorb in Rotorua because I think that they are spacial and exciting

Untill now I can't sit in a place for hours. I bored the routine I live every day and I want to live an adventure. That's why I want to spend my holidays in New Zeland.

For me every day is just the same day with the previous one. I want to live an adventure with different way that I spent the whole day here. New Zeland is the country where all extreme sports began. I am a dare devil person so I am sure I will live the adventure I am always researching for by doing those extremes sports. Like, Skydiving
Bungy, Jet Boating, Rafting, Caving or even Canyoning.

But New Zeland isn't only about extreme spots. I love drawing and painting and I do this all the time. New Zeland has a lot of beautifull places ( and is a very beautyful country) to draw.

New Zeland I'm on my way! I love all these extremes sports and as I said I can't wait to live an adventure soon! I hope that one day I will go there.

In the one hand first impression is important because someone try to understand who you are from the first time you meet him.That's why it is really important to be yourself,without acting like someone else to make others like you.

In the other hand some people are really shy so they can't talk a lot when they meet a new person.With that way the other may think that they don't like him so he won't have a good opinion for them ...

In my opinion we mustn't judje others from the first time we saw them or from stories we have listen about them.We have to met them by our own and learn who their really are and if we can be friends or not.To be sure about that we need lot of time because as I said before someone could be shy and don't let us to learn things about him from the first time so we have to "win" their trust.Friendship..Confusing right?

Hi? Howw are you? I'm fine. It has been a very long time since we saw each other. Α few days ago I recievedone letter of yours and I learned that you want to go to Summerhill.

I just finished Summerhill and I thought its a goode idea yo talk to you about this school and my personnal recomendations. As you may know, Summerhill is a special school that children learnbest with freedom from coercion. With that I mean that in this school pupuls are free to chose what they want to study and not what their anxious parents want them to do.

I want you to give you some advice and and to warn not to do anything that causes any harm to others. The pupils can participate in the self-gorerning community of the school such as school meetings were pupils and stuff are discussing issues and are creating or are changing the school laws. This is a bit dangerous and I wanted to warn you for this, you have your freedom but limited. Summerhill can offer to the pupils responsibility by chosing the lessons they want to follow and creat their career. You have freedom in this school but that doesn't mean that if you don;t want to participate in a subject you don't have to learn it.

Well I hope you learned enough for Summerhill. Be careful and choose what you want to do with your heart. Hve fun at Summerhill!

kisses,

Thanks for your email.Sorry that I haven't wrote you for so long but I was ill and I wasn't able to write you back.As you know I finish the Summerhill and at your previous letter you told me that you 'll sfart.So I decide to tell you some things to understand.

Well Summerhill is a different schiol so forget what you know for the previous school.At Summerhill you can choose what lessons you want to attend.If you don't like a lesson,you don't do it.Members of the community are free to do as they please.If is there a problem you get together and you discuss it.Also you can discuss to persecute someone who bothers you.

I don't know what else you want to know but if you decide to go at Summerhill I will think and I will tell you more things.Well I hope that I help you enough and I wish you an amazing year at Summerhill!!

Kisses,

After of 10 years of holidays there we still can't get enough of the place.If you are looking for relaxing and peaceful holiday with great views go to beach and a variety of restaurants and bars this is the place for you.The accommodation available ranges from the very exclusive and expensive hotels to rooms to rent.From the harbour you can take a boat to trip to Spinaloga the old leper colony or barbecue on a beach only acessable from the sea.A short bus trip or taxi rides takes you to Aghio Nikalaos and the Baltomless lake with all its ships.And if course for those who like excursions you can look excursions to the historical sites,water parks and of course the Samaria Gorge.I just want to let everyone know what place Elounda is Mostly is the chill out with everything you need.Delicious food,cocktails and everyone is part of the family.

Elounda for me is a second home and I hope you find it too.I enjoyed out all the different things in the souvenir shops,a lot of local crafts and good prices.Further afield is Aghios Nikolaos which is bigger than Elounda that again center around the harpour lots of restaurants and bars and a larger variety of shops well worth a day out.

What makes Elounda for us is the people that they make you feel at home and very welcome.

People are all the time on interner or facebook sharing photos and personal data. Is it good for human species or live without social media?

On the one hand It is good that we use technology. All these social media like instagram, facebook or snapchat have and a good influence in people. Par exemple we can met people and 1 into 5 people on social media are getting maried. You can see thru photoshow people live and thimgs about them.

On the other hand people spending the most time of the day in social media and that causes people addiction. Most of the people are so addicted to facebook, instagram and nternet that they forgot their familly friends and their "life". Also spending hours on rhe inernet can cause harm on your brain and that is true and with people they sleep with their phones next to them.

For conclusion I want to tell that we are so lucky we born with the technology in our hands but we also may destroy our lifes. Use social media with safty.

We can communicate with a lot different ways like phone calls,texts ,Skype ect. But is this good or bud for us?

In the one hand ,as I said before ,we can counicate with peoples who are not with us .We can also spent our free time by playing video games or posts pictures in Facebook or Instagram.If we have a spacial talent , like drawing, we can post a video on YouTube and let other people see our work.

In the other hand it is really easy to get addicted .A lot of teenagers seat for hours and see posts on Instagram or play video games .Like that Social Media take us away from people who are near us to take us with people who are far away from us.

In my opinion wy can have Social Media but we mustn't spend a lot of hours on our mobile because we may be addicted and this is really but for our health because it may cause cancer or epilepsy.

Silia]]> 2018-06-26 09:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ekyrikakis/aiminghigh/wish/268575634 Social media hahsjdjsja https://padlet.com/ekyrikakis/aiminghigh/wish/268576321 Social networking is a topic that divides opinion some people think it's an amazing tool but others are worried about the impact it has on people's lives.Here are some of their conclusions as to the main benefits and drawbacks of social media.

The positives of social media are that it helps children connect with the rest of the family that might be missing abroad.They learn new things and exchange ideas with peers around technology.It helps children to communicate and encourage freedom of expression.

But there are also some negatives.
There is no control over the field of information. If children do not have parental supervision they can be brought to pages with obscene content.They may be victims of cyber bullying. Electronic bullying can have dangerous and potentially fatal consequences.And you never know who is hiding behind the internet.

Have you ever thought about a city where you can do what you want? Today teenagers don't live in this world. They imagine their own world, the "ideal" world for them. So what's the idial city for a teenager?

Of course the most of you will answer a city without rules. But think abou it for a minute. In your own world you have rules but the rules you make. Without rules we just wouldn't exist, even in my world, your world rules are important. Our ideal city doesn't have a name and its different between all people. In my city I can imagine everything I want and you too the same.

Ideal city has a different meaning in teens. My ideal city is a city that has a lot of hospitals and medical care. The education is free in all schools but we can choose the subjects that we want to do. There are a lot of gyms with defferent kinds od gymnastics.There are a lot of green spaces and forests. There are also and a lot of clear beaches. There is no exhaust in my ideal city. Everything is ecological and they work with solar or wind energy. No one is smoking and all humans are healthy. There are no illnesses and wars, and everybody lives happy.

Everybody thinks different. So do I. So many citys in the world. What is your "ideal" city?

Annie]]> 2018-07-01 21:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ekyrikakis/aiminghigh/wish/269094509 Article hahsjdjsja https://padlet.com/ekyrikakis/aiminghigh/wish/269129043 Have you ever thought about the ideal city for you? I know most would like a city that has no rules. But it is wrong. It is way till you live so and will change your mind.

I have never been able to think what I would like to be the ideal city for me. I don't like the rules either, but I want my city to have. The ideal city for me is the city that the others won't smoke so much, there will be no homeless, there will be good people, cheap homes, clothes and food for someone who doesn't have the economic opportunity to get the rest. I always wanted my city to have a specific building where homeless people will stay and offer them whatever they need without return.

Also,I would like to there is work for all the people and everyone to have the same rights. The ideal city for me is the city that will have medicines and cures for all illnesses. I would also like to fall down all the masks of the people and we all behave as it's worth every one.I wouldn't want something for me to change because I'm fine. Only for others who don't have homes, that they die of cancer and other illnesses and others who have no jobs and the economic opportunity to get what everyone else has.

I have told you the ideal city for me. Write me your ideal city for you!

Irini.

First of all the ideal city has to give to her habitants free food and education. Then it has to have rules but they don't have to be very strict so the people who live there will fell free.

Also the perfect city has to take care of the people who aren't able to have a home so they give them a place to live and food.At the end they have to take care of animals (cats and dog) who lives in the streets and a lot of rimes they die because of cars or because they don't have water and food.

That's my opinion for the ideal city .I would like to know what is yours opinion about that.
