<br />
Our course has a unique NOVELTY: no books! Just the net, this blog and specially designed material by our teacher, Mrs Effie Kyrikakis.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">IN our first lesson we found a common interest:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Travelling is a passion for everyone in our team, so</span><br />
today we'll talk about travelling and getting to know the world.<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Let's look at different kinds of exploration one can do <a href="http://pinterest.com/effiekyrikakis/travelling/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<b>Language points</b><br />
Talking about travelling, we get to use a gerund.<br />
How much do you remember about Gerunds and Infinitives?<br />
Well, here's a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PoPL-FLTkM">YouTube tutorial</a> to watch.<br />
After that do <a href="http://www.english-grammar.at/online_exercises/gerund-infinitive/gerund-infinitive-index.htm">activities</a> 3,4, 13,15 here.<br />
<br />
<b>Activities</b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"> ...and the change goes on!</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Even assignments are completely different: </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
1. look at the holiday pictures/videos and read about them on <a href="http://pinterest.com/effiekyrikakis/travelling/" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none; transition: 0.3s;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Then, find photos (on Pinterest or Google) of <b>YOUR favourite way to explore</b> the world USING the VOCABULARY we've seen in class. and<b> choose:</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
- create <b>a board on Pinterest</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
- create a<b> photopeach presentation</b> and be prepared to present <b>a 5min talk</b> about where you would like to travel -- - find <b>your own creative way</b> to share your favourite way to explore the world </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
AND</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
2. Write <b>a story of 180 </b>words in the group canvas about your favourite holiday destination USING the VOCABULARY we've seen in class.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Today we go on talking about education. How different are educational systems around the world and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each way of learning?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Let's take a look at an Infografic of the Finnish Educational System first:</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-AxYw5U4jwAJJhg1IW6b6UcRRo3lsjGFjkuVN2sDNQtMzPdgioJJ3pobX75u_Ql8YHVlPHMdaGHkWT0nBwqMp8cgEPIwjOpVccXj2eCZ3OVbW46JBQyfaRLaRmBUnjeF3LsUXFJb7O08h/s1600/Why-the-Finnish-Educational-System-is-so-Effective-Infographic.gif" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-AxYw5U4jwAJJhg1IW6b6UcRRo3lsjGFjkuVN2sDNQtMzPdgioJJ3pobX75u_Ql8YHVlPHMdaGHkWT0nBwqMp8cgEPIwjOpVccXj2eCZ3OVbW46JBQyfaRLaRmBUnjeF3LsUXFJb7O08h/s1600/Why-the-Finnish-Educational-System-is-so-Effective-Infographic.gif" /></a><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , "trebuchet" , "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.48px;"></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">1.Every one will look up for information about a different country and <b>fill in <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/winners.edu.gr/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjxhERcJcFi6dEl6N1VQRTlRbjkxVkwzSWJqU21IRHc#gid=0" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; outline: none; transition: 0.3s;" target="_blank">the form here</a></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">so that we can then discuss the pros and cons of each system. If possible, we'll contact an interview each.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">2. Hmmm, <b>Passive Voice</b>, eh? What do you want to revise?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">You can find a tutorial <a href="https://youtu.be/pxbQ2U3Uuv0" style="color: #888888;">here </a>and practice <a href="https://youtu.be/ye3-vJkO0A8" style="color: #888888;">here</a> and <a href="http://www.agendaweb.org/verbs/passive-mixed-tenses-exercises.html" style="color: #888888;">here (</a>ex 21, 23, 26, 28, 30 are a must!)</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">3. When will you have your hair cut? <b>Study and practise</b> this form <a href="http://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/causatives-have-get.html" style="color: #888888;">here</a> and do this activity at the end.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">4. So, the Finish system has been designed around the students' own needs. How can Greece be advised by having its system compared to that of Finland? You have the magic wand. What do you suggest?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">Write 10 sentences with your suggestions in the Passive Voice and Causative form <b>in your canvas</b></span><br />
<br style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;" />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">5. Of course, we never stop having fun! Watch this video and guess what happened.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>The email needs to include: </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First study the tutorials and the do the activities for the tenses you feel you need to revise</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">so that you're ready for the class review in our next lesson. </span><br />

Hi everyone. We are a team of 3 girls and 1 boy who excelled in our B1 course and as a result we've been rewarded with a shorter B2 course, taking us from B1 to B2 level in just 11 months. This is our summer class blog. We pledge we are going to have serious... fun, learning and living the language through technology at the same time!<br />
Our LEARNING AIMS for this course are:<br />
- to consolidate the most important language points<br />
- expand our vocabulary and<br />
- hone our speaking, reading, writing and listening skills<br />
<br />
We're going to give our 100% to learning...fun!<br />
<br />
The most important aspect of success in to know one's own strengths and weaknesses well!<br />
It's what our ancestors wisely called "γνώθι σ'αυτόν"!<br />
<br />
So, how many ways are there for someone to be intelligent?<br />
Strange question?<br />
Well, check out <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9GSj3Hi8y8" rel="nofollow" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">this video</a> to find out how modern research proves what you probably already know about yourselves!<br />
<br />
How are YOU smart, do you reckon?<br />
<b>1. Take the test</b> in this <a href="http://www.literacynet.org/mi/assessment/findyourstrengths.html" rel="nofollow" style="color: #888888; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">page</a> and save the results.<br />
We'll need it in class.<br />
<br />
2. Being creative:<br />
In this class we'll be learning with and from each other!<br />
To be able to be easily in touch, let's create (if you do not already have one)<br />
-a gmail account<br />
