One day, as we were walking, a pirate stopped us and told us that if we found Atlantis he would give us a big, old

pirate ship and a million gold coins.

So, my friends Billy, John, Mario and I decided to find the lost city of Atlantis. Mario is the rich boy. George is the brave

one. Billy is the funny one. John is the scared one, but the smart one.

First, we met on a sailing ship that Mario bought in Arabia. The ship was big. It had 4 bedrooms, a ware house, a

meeting table and a big kitchen. It was like a house on the sea. Mario’s admired it.

We started from Cyprus, we passed Greece, Italy, Spain and we entered the Atlantic Ocean. We prepared all our

equipment; diving masks and oxygen tanks.

After that, we dove into the ocean. As we dove in, we saw lots of beautiful fish and coral reefs. ‘It is very beautiful’,

George said.

Next, the coral reefs appeared to be a gigantic underwater two-headed sea dragon. It was the guardian of Atlantis.

That was the scariest thing we had seen in all our life. ‘It is so scary’, John said.

Then, the sea dragon chased us breathing hot water. With his claws he grabbed Billy and John. John said that we were

doomed. Quickly Mario and I pushed a heavy rock on one of the monsters’ head. It let go of my two friends and it

sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Finally, after 6O minutes of searching we found the lost city of Atlantis. Billy said, ‘we did it’! The whole city was made

of gold. We found a lot of historical items. Of course we gave them to the museums. We took a lot of photos with our

phones. It was a fascinating adventure! It was a dangerous adventure but we had fun and a nice time! We love

challenges!!!Look what the newspaper wrote about us:

” Four young children have just discovered the lost city of Atlantis. They, with their families, will begiven medals by the president of theUnitedStates.”

It’s the core of the Vikos – Aoos national park, where a great variety of rare species of plants and animals can be found.The gorge is about 11 kilometers long and at many points the depth exceeds 1000 meters. The tributary of Aoos, Voidomatis, which runs through it, has water all seasons. “Vikos” bottled water comes from here. The gorge was created after intense geological redevelopments during the geological seasons. The first traces of human activity in the area that have been identified were dated to 40000 BC. The plants found in the area of the gorge is of a particularly large variety.Vikos gorge is a popular travel route.

Andy Kossyvakis

Once upon a time there was a captain named Andrew who

was sailing around the world. Andrew was a fat ugly man who

ate burgers every hour. At the same time, he was as brave as

Odysseus.

Then, Andrew was waiting for his tourist who had

arranged a tour of the Atlantic Ocean with his ship. The tourist

arrived after a couple of hours, his name was Andy, he was

taller and thinner than captain Andrew and he ate tons of

vegetables.

After that, they set off and suddenly there was a big storm

and the ship sunk. Then, one merman saved the explorers and

he said, “let’s take them to the doctor merman.’’ The doctor

merman helped them survive underwater with a special gadget

and then the mermen helped the explorers build a new ship.

Afterwards, the explorers became friends with the

mermen. They ate fish with vegetables. The captain became fit.

In the end, the captain and the tourist Andy left, continued the

journey and sailed around the world.

METEORA

Meteora is a rock formation in central Greece. The rocks are very high and they are hosting monasteries. The six Orthodox monasteries are located near the town of Kalambaka. Every day lots of believers visit the monasteries. The Meteora is a touristic area and it is also included in the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE LIST.

COFFEE MAKERMelitta Bentz created the first drip coffee maker in1908. Melitta Bentz used a filter she made out ofblotting paper. Since the coffee maker is what peopleusually think of when they hear coffee maker, it is thequick and easy answer. The actual history of the coffeemaker goes a little bit farther back. The history of thecoffee maker, like many inventions, began long ago.The Turks were known to brew coffee way back in 575a.d. and the history of the coffee maker really beginsthere. Much of the history of coffee maker has beenlost to the ages, so no one really knows much aboutthe history of the coffee maker from the time of theTurks to 1818, when the first coffee percolator wascreated.

Camera

The invention that I’m going to present is‘the camera’. It was invented in France byJohann Zahn and Joseph NicephoreNiepce in 1865. It changed over timeboth its size and its technology. Now thecamera is smaller and it can bewaterproof. I think the camera is veryhelpful because it captures importantmoments.

I am going to speak about a place called Syvota. Syvota

is in Epirus. The first beautiful thing about Syvota is the

sea. The sea is so clear and clean. There are a lot of

caves where you can swim. The second thing I like about

it is the village. The village has a lot of restaurants where

you can eat delicious food. I would recommend Syvota to

everybody, to go and have a good time!

NATURAL WONDERS

I would like to present the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia which, in my opinion, should be nominated as a natural wonder of our planet!I am nominating this place, because it is one of the most unique natural attractions in the country. It is true that it is also the most popular, composed of sixteen lakes coming together and producing natural plank walks and waterfalls. In my opinion, it is magical and the beauty is hard to resist.I believe that if you are a person who loves nature, you will love what Croatia has to offer you! Trust me and you won’t be disappointed!

The story of the phone

Spyros Gontzes

The phone was invented in 1876 by Graham Bell. It

became very popular during the 20th century and

over a million consumers around the world were

using it. The first landlines were a little small. They

could be very colorful and have either buttons with

numbers on them or dial number wheels. They could

be very fancy and funny. In addition, people used it

even daily. They were also connected together with

their bases with a cable.

Secondly, the first wireless phone was invented by

the Bell labs company and It was used by people

who lived in Scandinavia first. Then everyone

started to buy them. Now, they have a smaller base

and they are plugged into sockets. They are small in

size and have funny designs on them. They can also

look like toys or characters from many children

movies too!
