Task 3 Anna Smaragda Irene

Fashion and environment
All girls like fashion. But have you ever thought about the consequences that have on the environment? Clothes are covering a lot miles every day to arrive at each shop every day, causing polution in the environment. That is on e of the many issues of the ''fashion problem". We could recycle our clothes or give them to other people than throw them away. We should make people sensitive about this issue so can  have a better future!

Task 3 Nefeli and Athina

Fashion and the enviroment!

Everybody likes fashion,but no one ever thought about the consequences to the enviroment...Clothes are traveling with big ships until they come here, to shops like ''Zara'', ''Pull and Bear'' , ''Bershka'' and many other.When those ships pass through the sea a lots of fishes die because of the pullution.So maybe,we should n't buy so many clothes which are coming from countries far away from our, just to stop the pullution of the sea and athor issus that they cause.We feel really sad and we want this thing to stop!

Fashion effects the environment by buying clothes and of course throing them in the waste land and not giving it to poor people!!also to give the clothes to companies like ZARA,PULL&BEAR or BERSHKA the ships need alot of petroll so they pollute the environment with an other way..

Task :2 Anastasia

Hi Mary,

How are you? I hope you are fine! It was great to hear from you.You asked me to tell you about a particular festival we celebrate in Greece.

Well, we have lots of traditional festivals in Greece. One of my favourite festivals is the festival of  the '' Assumption of Mary''. After the church it follows lots of music and traditional dancing too until very late. In the festival there are lots of kiosks which sells food, small items and jewelery. There is also a report which takes place every year in this festival. In this report there are plenty of shops and organisations with purpose to sell their products or to inform for something that we must know.

That's all for now. How about you come and visit in the summer for the festival? Then you could have the experience about the festival by yourself. I hope your answer will be positive.

See you soon,
Anastasia
