Christmas School Party 2012 from Maria Markaki School of Foreign Languages

HORROR STORY

It was midnight and George and I were waiting outside the old house. It was raining  and I was feeling scared.

George said: 'CHEER UP!! Come on. We must look for the treasure'. I opened the door. I suddenly heard a noise. Something was coming down the stairs.

We felt scared! I said: 'Let's get out of here!'. 'NO! STOP!', cried the terrible voice, but we ran away out of the house. That was the most frightening experience of our lives!

The House of the Seven Gables

'Do you love me?' Holgrave asked.

'Yes , I do', Phoebe said.

They were quiet and happy.Then Phoebe asked:''What's that noise?''

''Maybe it's the police''Holgrave said.

''It's not the police, it's me Hepzibah with Clifford''.

After a lot of hours they decided to live in Judge's house.Then Phoebe asked''Is this land ours?''.

''I don't think so. And we don't need it', Holgrave said.

They closed the House of the Seven gables and they went to the country.

Phoebe took some flowers.They were Alice's flowers.

"RUSH HOUR 2"

Hi George,

I' m writing to tell you about my favourite film.

My favourite film is ''RUSH HOUR 2''. It's a film and it's a detective story. 'RUSH HOUR 2'' has got some inappropriate scenes, but still is a very nice movie. It's a detective story and the main role is played by Jackie Chan.

That's all about the movie.What is your favourite story?

Huckleberry Finn

A thief is locking my friend in the hut.''We must save him'' I said
''He's our friend''.I thought and I found the answer.''We must make
a hole''I said. ''But it will take three days. Let's start'' said Tom.
The second day we wrote a letter to Mr and Mrs Phelps:
Be careful!Trouble is near!
A friend!

I climbed out of the bedroom window and I put the letter under the door. The third day we wrote a longer letter:

Dear friends,

There are some very bad men near your house. They have plan to kidnap slave Jim, then Mr. Phelps won't take the 500€ reward. They are dangerous men!! I 'm on your side ,but I can't tell you my name.

X.

I threw the letter under the door and I finished the hole with Tom.We took Jim out of the hole.Some men were watching us and they shot Tom. Jim and I carried him to the doctor. The doctor asked me:''How did the bullet get to his legs?''.''From a gun I said''.Then he didn't ask any more questions.

Everything about Halloween!

Two thousand years ago, a nation called the Celts had a celebration. On 1 November they celebrated the New Year.

Some centuries later, the Christians had another celebration on the same day called All Hallows. That was a celebration which is about a special holy day to honour the saints and the other people who died for their religion. The day before All Hallows was called All Hallows Eve. Some years later the name became Halloween. 

The  Europeans who lived at that time thought that at night the dead people will come to visit them on Earth. To escape from the dead people, they dressed up in costumes and they looked as dead people. So the dead would think that they're also dead and they won't harm them.

This is why we put pumpkins out of our houses today and we dress up in scary costumes. Some kids in America knock on the people's doors and say ''trick or treat''. Usually the people say 'treat' and they give candy to the kids.

Suggestions

Holly: What about going shopping at the market?

Max: It isn't exciting enough for me.

Holly: Why don't we go bungee jumping?

Max: It's too dangerous for me.

Holly: How about going sailing?

Max: OK.

Holly: Let's go skateboarding.

Max: Good idea.

Halloween

Halloween is a very old celebration.Around 2000 years ago, some people lived called the Celts.November the 1st was their New Year's Day. At the night before the New Year they believed that the living and the dead came together.The Christian church named November the 1st All Saints day (All Hallows) and the eve (Hallows eve) became Halloween.Also, they used to carry lanterns and dress up like evil craetures. They believed that the bad spirits will hurt them. In America they carried pumpkins. They decorated them with scary faces.Today Halloween is for children and they celebrate almost for a month.They dress up and they knock on people's doors. They say "trick or treat?''. Boys' favourite costume is the pirate.

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The Wild West

Frank and Jesse James were amazing. They were criminals in the Wild West from 1886 to 1915. They robbed trains and banks. They had a lot of ideas about how to rob the trains. One of them was to pull the rail tracks. With that idea, the train fell down and then it exploded.They used that idea a lot of times to rob and destroy the trains. I like Frank and Jesse James because they very strong and ruthless.

 

A small dialogue between Holly and Max

Max: How about bungee jumping?

Holly: It's too dangerous for me.

Max: What about skateboarding?

Holly: No, It's not exciting enough for me.

Max: Let's go sailing!!

Holly: Good idea.

 

Felix's free dive!

This is the best fall in the world! It is the most dangerous thing I have ever seen! It was a supersonic dive, which means that Felix was going faster even than the speed of sound. It is less safe than sky diving and the least comfortable sport of all. It is the most exciting thing a human has ever done!

(George found the video and wrote the comment.)

    After that Lefteris and Manolis came. They brought me a box of cookies .I like them , too. We played basketball.Then we ate potatoes with chicken for lunch.After that, we played war. Lefteris and I formed the first team and the other team was George and Manolis.We beat them 3-2.

     After the war, Manolis and I played computer games and George and Lefteris played Playstation. Then we played war again, but this time there weren't any teams, only individual warriors. George beat us. He was really good.

   After one hour, we went to LIDO SOCCER and we played football and table tennis.We left at nine o'clock.We had a great day.

George's story

THE EXPLORATION IN THE DARK CAVE

One year ago, in North England, four children Williams, John, Kevin and Kate found a treasure map in their attic.

One day they decided to look for the treasure. They went to the woods near their house. It was hot and sunny. They followed the map and they found a dark cave .The four children got into the cave. It was very cold. The water was falling from the top. There was a small lake, as well.

They crossed it and they reached the other side. The child saw a guard. He was standing in front of a bridge. 'If you want to go past the bridge, you must step on the squares with the letters of the word genesis', he said.

The four children passed the test and, out of the blue, a treasure appeared. The four children were happier than ever before! With the money they built a school for the poor children of the world.

Today is European Languages Day!

Nicolas' new story

A scary story

    It was midnight and and it was raining.Lefteris ,George and Nick were outside the haunted house. Nick  opened slowly the door and …

    And then a ghost was going down the stairs, but our heroes were strong and brave, so they went inside the haunted house. Suddenly, the door behind them closed.Then George saw something behind the door.

    It was a mummy. ‘A mummy’, shouted George.’Let’s get out of here fast’. ‘Run as fast as you can, you can’t escape from me’, said the mummy. Lefteris,Nick and George ran as fast as the wind and they escaped from the mummy, in the end.
