The figure on the mountain - Part IΙ

So, I went behind the tree and I suddenly fell down in a hole. The children heard my voice "Ah!! Help!!". It was totally dark, I couldn't see a thing. Everything was blur. It took me a few minutes to get used to the dark. When I finally saw where I was, I noticed a man standing a few metres away. I was surprised and terrified at the same time. His hands and feet were tied. He looked old and tired. He seemed very scared. "Can you untie me?", he asked. "Yes of course!" I answered. I didn't know who he was but he seemed harmless. I was curious so I asked "Who are you? What are you doing here? Who has tied you up?". The old man touched his head and remained silent.

Before he answered I heard my friends calling my name "Paul, Paul, are you there? Are you OK?". "Yes, I am down here and I 'm fine. There is a man here next to me. Can you find something to pull us up?". I heard my friends looking for a rope and after a while they pulled us up. It was hard and dangerous but we did it.

When my friends made sure I was safe and sound they turned to the old man. "Who are you?". The old man looked at us mysteriously and he said "Follow me"...

THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF A STUDENT IN ATHENS

By George

I wake up in the morning   and then I have my breakfast.  I usually have milk with bread or cereals. I also like biscuits but my mum doesn't buy them very often.  I also drink a big glass of juice.  I prefer orange juice.

Then I go to school.  I don't like school a lot. I like my friends and I play with them but I don't like having lesson so much.  My favourite lesson is Maths. I like solving exercises.  My teacher is very good.


When I go back to school I have lunch.  We usually have vegetables, meat with potatoes or rice or pasta. I like pasta a lot. We always have salad. My mum eats a lot of salad.  After lunch I play with my brother.


In the afternoon I study. Twice a week I go to my English school.  In Greece we call it frontistirio. Ι go to Φροντιστήριο ΕΚΦΡΑΣΗ in Aharnes.  My teachers help me understand English.  We always have fun, we play, we sing, we write projects and we talk a lot.  I like talking!


In the evening I get ready to go to bed.  I always drink milk and brush my teeth.  Then I read my favourite comic and I sleep.  My mum and dad kiss me goodnight and then I dream. 


At the weekends, I play a lot. I usually play with my brother and my friends.  Games are fun.
