The destruction of the ozone layer
The problem
In our atmosphere there is a layer that contains ozone.This is the ozone layrer which is important for our life.Why is it important?The ozone prevents the harmful UV rays from reaching the ground.Unfortunately for many years people used to use products with CFCs in them.CFCs are dangerous because they destroy the ozone.The effect is that harmful UV rays are reaching the ground and damage our eyes and skin.
The cause
The cause is the destruction of the ozone layer.This is because of the CFCs.The products that contain CFCs are the old air conditioners and fridges and the spray cans
The solution
One solution is to find some other chemicals to replace CFCs.So we have to recycle our old fridges and air conditioners.Fortunately there are some changes in the law shich forbid the use of spray cans with CFCs in them.

Deforestation
Nobody knows exactly how much of the world's rainforests have already been destroyed and continue to be,each year.
In order to say rainforests,we need to know why they are being destroyed.
The immediate causes of rainforest destruction are clear.The main cause is agriculture and in drier areas,fuelwood collection.Another cause is logging.Commercial logging companies cut down mature trees that have been selected for their timper.The companies defend themselves by saying that the forests regrow naturally and in time.Of course that is not true.Other problems for the environment is that plants and animals become extinct and the trees can't produce the oxygen we need.
The obvious solution is to stop destroying rainforests.Of course,that is much easier to say than to do it.All the people who care about that,have to convince the governments to protect rainforests.

The hole in the ozone layer
All people know about the hole in the ozone layer.The hole was discovered in 1970 by scientists.Scientists discovered what caused the problem. There were some gases in some products. These are called CFCs. CFCs are produced by old fridges, air conditioners and spray cans. Today there aren't CFCs anymore.
The ozone layer is between about 15 and 30 kilometres above the ground. The ozone layer prevents ultraviolet rays from featcing the sun. These rays are very dangerous for the eyes and skin, so we can understand how important the ozone layer is to the people.
HOW I STARTED RECYCLING?
In the past the children had thrown away their rubbish on the floo at school. I decided to start recycling at school. At first i decided to do a project about the environment. After we `d finished the project on the environment at school, i knew a had th start recycling.
I decided to recycle because we can save energy. Also now we can thrw away plastik, paper ang glass in the recycling bins.
All this procedure is veru difficult, because there isn `t enough money to buy a lats at recycling bins.
most childrennow recycle and the school is clean. Now all the children and teathers are very happy.

Put on a play
If you want something fun to do in the evenings, why not put on a play with your friends?It's great fun and it is very easy!
You have to choose the type of play you want,for example rock or pop.We usually write own plays.They're usually rock.When you know what part you playing it's time to decide who will play the most difficult part.
It's a good idea to have regular rehearsals.We rehears three times a week.It takes time for people to understand the notes.Ask all the singers to find their own costumes.
When you're ready,invite your friends and family to come and watch the play.You don't need a school to do that.Someone's living room is fine.Have fun,and good luck with the concert!

''THE GLOBAL WARMING''
The global warming is a very serious problem for our planet, because when the ice melts, the sea level will go up.
The problem start, when in the past one storm cut down the biggest iceberg in the word. Then the scientists built a meteorological station on the iceberg and then they understood that the sea level was going up.
One of the solutions is to find some ways to save energy. Another way is to build some dams on the coastal of cities.

DANGER IN THE MOUNTAINS
Last year my friend Elena and I,decided to go to explore the Olympus Mountains.When we arrived at the mountains we saw that all the place was covered in the snow and no one was there.
We started to climb the mountains but we realized that the ground was rocky and rough and we couldn't carry on.We started to panic and we were scared because there wasn't anybody to help us.We did our best and we started to climb again.
Fortunately in the end we were very lucky and we managed to climb it.We were very happy and satisfied with our achivement.It was an experience that we'll never forget.

Article:(stop the pop)
Dear Editor
I recently read an article in your newspaper about pop music.
The writer argued that teenagers waste too much time listening to
music.I would like to disagree.
To begin with, people spend a lot of time in their work or schools.
They are tired and students spend a lot of time studing.So music is
a good way to relax,to entertain and to escape that pressure for
example one very good singer is Michael Jackson.He is the king of pop.
He's talented and he's music and lyrics are lovely.
In addition to that,music brings people together.The famous pop singer
Madonna is performing in our country this mounth and lot's of teenagers
and adults will go to the concert.
I love Madonna's music because it's different from the others.It entertains
me.Music provides a way for them to meet new friends or share experiences
with your best friends.
In conclusion I would like to say that people also listen to music when they're sad to forget their problems or when they're happy to entertain ,so music is very important
for them.
Yours faithfull,
Izoldy Tsagarakh

Learning Vocabulary
Learning a foreign language is very important so that everyone can communicate however leanrning all of the vocabulary is very difficult.
Firstly to learn a foreign language you need a good teacher. In addition you must want to do this because if you don't want to learn a language and you do it for your mum you will never learn the language.
Secondly the best ways to learn vocabulary when you are learning a foreign language is to look up words you don't know in a dictionary. What is moreto note down new words in your vocabulary notebook. Further more reading English books and magazines is a good way to learn vocabulary. Another way is when you say a word think of another one with a similar meaning. The essential thing you must do when you are learning a new language is to go through your vocabulary book regularly looking at the word you have written down.
In conclusion learning new vocabulary is difficult but important . In my opinion learning a new vocabulary is the basic thing of a foreign language.
Iraklion!
Iraklion is a big city in Crete. Crete is near Rodos , Athens and Afrika.
If you want to visit it,you can take a plane from Athens or Thessaloniki and here you are in Iraklion. You also have to book accomondation in advance because Iraklion is a place with many visitors and tourists.
The main attractions of Iraklion are the big museums that are worth visiting and the palaces of Knossos, Faistos, Zakros e.t.c. Except from this Iraklion has many beautiful beaches and restaurants with many different kinds of food. In the evenings you might want to go shopping or go for a walk. The centre of Iraklion is the place with plently of shops to go and buy nice things. Although, there are so many things to do in Iraklion, the city is a little noisy and sometimes in the summer it is crowded.
In my opinion, Iraklion is the best place to visit every season!

The EXPEDITION....!!
We started our expedition with all the equipments that we needed to have.There were three of us.Me, my good partner John and my best friend Nik!Our expedition was to the mountain 'Ben Nevis' and we didn't have a leader.
We were in the midle of the journey, when Nik said:'Hey I think something is going wrong here'.I said:'What?Is it something dangerous?'And he replied to me:'Yes!I think that my rope is going to break any minuite now!'I froze and I kept looking at the height we were at for five minuites.Then I said:'Stay here.I'll go to bring another one!But I have to go down and I'll be a while so don't move at all!'He didn't say anything.He just nodded.But while me and Nik were trying to find a solution, John had reached the top and he couldn't help us.I had already began to panic!
I went down after two hours and I found the rope.I tried to climb again, faster this time!To my surprise when I finally reached Nik he was smiling!I gave him the rope and he tried to change the old one with the new one.This moment was the worse moment in my life.I heared a terrible scream and when I loooked to Nik's side he WASN'T THERE!!!I started to cry because I had realized that he had fallen!
