A letter to Lee

Hi Lee, 

Thank you for the e-mail. I'm afraid I can't come to China and celebrate Chinese New Year with you. It's too far for me and I've got school these days, I am not on holidays. 

My favorite Greek celebration is Easter. I like it because it's in spring and the nature is blooming. During the Holy Week we make preparations for the Holy Saturday and the resurrection. On Holy Thursday we paint our eggs red and go to the church. On Good Friday we follow 'epitafios' which is the symbolic grave of Christ. On Holy Saturday we go to the church late at night. At the midnight the priest says " Christos anesti" which means Christ truthfully rose from grave. Then we return home and eat a traditional soup made of liver.

Would you like to come and celebrate Easter with me? I look forward to your answer.

Love from George

Hello there!

Thank you the information about your town. I am writing to tell you about my town.

My town is Heraklion. It has got some restaurants. My favourite restaurant is 'Macaroni'. Heraklion has got many cinemas, too, but the two popular cinemas are Technopolis and Talos. There are the most popular cinemas and shopping centres in Crete.

Heraklion has got some parks: Georgiadis park and Theotokopoulos park. They are very big and they've got many trees. Also, there's Saint Mina's church in the centre of the town, which is the biggest church in Heraklion.

This is my town. I am sending you the official website of Heraklion to show you some photographs of museums, parks, churches, monuments and the famous ancient palace of Knossos: http://www.heraklion.gr/en/city/photos-maps

I have got a question for you now: what is your favourite wild animal? Tell me a few things about it.

Best wishes,
Lefteris and my twin brother, Manolis
