I love sports especially basketball, football, volleyball and parkour. It is Summer now in Greece and i have all the free time to go out and play with my friends all these awesome sports. My favourite sport is parkour and one Summer i would like to go to Santorini where every year "Red bull art of motion" takes place. This is the official global competition of parkour. Every year the best athletes or freerunners go there and compete for the first place. It is my dream to go there, watch the event and talk to my favourite freerunners like; Yoann lerroux and Dimitris kyrsanidis or even parkour with them. I really want to go there one day and make my dream come true.
We are the crazy students of B2 level in Maria Markaki school. We live in Iraklion, Crete, Greece. We enjoy blogging because we practise for the FCE and ECCE exams in a fun way.

A warm hi from Andrew
I am writing in this fascinating forum to present my incredible family to all you hungry for information people.
Well, I am really excited to talk about this subject.First of all, I have been living in Heraklion for my whole life along with my parents and brother in a a house with two floors near the center . My mother is a teacher in a primary school and my father is retired air force officer and unfortunately I do not get to see George , my brother a lot because he just turned eighteen and he is almost to the army camps to serve his duty towards our proud but exhausted country which means that, he is rarely home .However , I feel delighted to have him with me whenever he is free. I also have a cute white dog Plouto , you see how I got influenced ;) Mickey mouse ... anyway that 's all for today.
See you on the next upload pals , kissess :)) !!!!
Family Presentation
My house is spacious. It has three bedrooms two bathrooms and a big living room. The one thing that I don't like in my home is the view. I would prefer to wake up and see the sea as a view. I like the area where I live but when I grow up, I would like to live in Thessaloniki because it has better colleges than Heraklion.
In conlusion, I like all my every day life with all the advantages and disadvantages!
My Family!

Test writing units 4-7
Dear Editor,
I am writing to nominate myself for the summer placement programme that I read about in your magazine. I would like to nominate myself because I think that I have the suitable knowledge to work with other students this summer.
Firstly , I am very parient and discreet , because in my school all students trust me with their secrets. Secondly , I have been elected in the school council and with the other members of the school council , I solve various problems of the school. Moreover , I attend English lessons and this May I am going to take my certificate in English.
In addition to this , every summer I work to the village park " Zografakis ". I spend my free time with children and play with them. Furthermore ,in the village park " Zografakis " , I have learned how to work , so I am the most suitable person for this position .
All in all , I am the correct person and I want to work for you this summer. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
