CLOTHES, FOOD AND SATURDAY NIGHT 

 

Hello friends!

Here in Greece we like to eat many kinds of food, like souvlaki, pizza, meat, spaghetti and a lot of fish. Our national food is the bean soup. Because of the Greek economic crisis we don’t have enough money to buy a lot of clothes, but we can buy some. On Saturday night we usually go out with our friends at the cafés in the port of our town and have fun. We usually drink fizzy drinks there. We sometimes eat crepes and ice-cream. Also we eat souvlaki and chips on Saturday night .We go home at ten o’clock. What about you?

Write back soon.

Hi there!

Let us tell you about the music we like… our names are Aris, Evita and Bessy and we like music a lot.

The kinds of music we prefer are pop, rock n’ roll, hip hop, and rap. A lot of our classmates play music, too. In Greece there is a rich variety of traditional and folk music, but we prefer to listen to modern music like pop, hip hop, rap, rock n’ roll and jazz. Kids in our age don’t usually listen to classical music.

In our town ,Nafpaktos, there are a lot of musical events such as concerts and musicals,especially in the summer. Our favorites songs are, skyfall, harlem shake,rolling in the deep,opa gagman style and without you.

Evita plays the flute and Bessy plays saxophone alto. Our favorite music groups are: one direction, melisses, onirama , rolling stones, bon jovy and maroon 5. We hope you like music too.

Write us soon Aris, Bessy and Evita
