“EARTH SOS” project

The students of the 2^nd grade of our Senior High School (class B2) have worked on  a project with reference to nature.

Their work is called “EARTH SOS”  and includes pictures drawn by them along with short pieces of colourful paper where they wrote what they pledge to do in order to help save earth.

The idea was based on  a relevant unit (Unit 5) worked in class in the coursebook “Click on 4” by Express Publishing and a lecture the students attended by Stephanie Aigner,teacher of english,under the supervision of Mr. Athanasios Georgiou, school consultant of Teachers of the English Language.

The whole project aimed at pointing out how important it is for individuals to contribute to the protection of the environment.

Did you know that "Every cloud has a silver lining"?

Every cloud has a silver lining is a metaphor for optimism. It is a phrase coined by the english poet John Milton (1608-1674) in Comus:A Mask presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634. John Milton must have noticed that if the sun is behind a dark cloud, light shines out around the edges like a silver lining. So this is usually said as an encouragement to a person who is overcome by some difficulty and is unable to see any positive way forward.

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream, and not make dreams your master;

If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, and stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings and never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings, nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and, which is more, you'll be a Man my son.

“Success”

What is Success?

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by
a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
