ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 2«Το παιδί μαθαίνει καλύτερα όταν μαθαίνει σεομαδικό περιβάλλον»Τι μπορούν να κάνουν οι γονείς για να υποστηρίξουν το παιδί τους καλύτερα;Η Νέλλη έχει έναν γιό, τον Νίκο, που είναι τώρα στην πρώτη Γυμνασίου. Είναι ένα φιλότιμο παιδί, εξαι-ρετικά καλόκαρδο και ευαίσθητο. Επίσης ο Νίκος είναι πολύ ζωηρός, δυσκολεύεται να συγκεντρωθείκαι απεχθάνεται να διαβάζει στο σπίτι. Αντιθέτως, τρελαίνεται για όλα τα ηλεκτρονικά παιχνίδια και τοιντερνέτ. Φέτος είναι η χρονιά που θα δώσει Lower. Μέχρι τώρα πήγαινε στο φροντιστήριο, αλλά ηΝέλλη προβληματίζεται πολύ. Ο Νίκος δεν στρώνεται εύκολα να διαβάσει, η Νέλλη πιστεύει ότι θέλεικάποιον από πάνω του. Υπάρχει μια κοπέλα στη γειτονιά που κάνει ιδιαίτερα για lower με πολύ καλήτιμή. Ίσως αυτή είναι η λύση. Ο Νίκος θα υποχρεωθεί να διαβάζει με συστηματικότητα αφού θα έχειαπό πάνω του την κοπέλα, δε θα αφήνουν κενά, επίσης η ίδια θα φροντίζει για την εξάσκησή του, και ηΝέλλη θα μπορέσει επιτέλους να ανασάνει ανακουφισμένη, και να μην τον κυνηγάει και για ταΑγγλικά.Όλα τέλεια!Έτσι φαίνεται με την πρώτη ματιά.Ας δούμε όμως πως είναι τα πράγματα και από την πλευρά του Νίκου.Μέσα σε δύο εβδομάδες έχει φέρει την κοπέλα στα νερά του. Ο ρυθμός του μαθήματος αντί να επιτα-χύνεται, όπως θα ήλπιζε η Νέλλη, αργοπορεί επειδή ο Νίκος συχνά ζητά από τη δασκάλα του «να κά-νουν μαζί τις ασκήσεις γιατί δεν πρόλαβε», οπότε προχωράνε με αργό ρυθμό. Επίσης κάθε τόσο, πολύέξυπνα, ο Νίκος κουβεντιάζει περί ανέμων και υδάτων παρασέρνοντας την άπειρη δασκάλα του, με α-ποτέλεσμα τα μαθήματα να μένουν μισά και να βαδίζουν πολύ αργά.Επιπλέον, ο Νίκος βρίσκεται πλέον στο Γυμνάσιο, έχει πολλούς νέους συμμαθητές, έχει νέους καθηγη-τές και πρέπει να προσαρμοστεί σε μια καινούρια πραγματικότητα, πιο περίπλοκη μαθησιακά. Στα αγ-γλικά είχε την ομάδα του, την τάξη του, ένα σταθερό σημείο αναφοράς. Δε μάθαινε μόνο τη γλώσσαεκεί, αλλά εκφραζόταν, μίλαγε, συμμετείχε σε μια τάξη με λίγους συνομήλικους, εκτονωνόταν με τουςφίλους του στο διάλειμμα. Όλη αυτή η κοινωνική μάθηση έχει πια χαθεί, προς χάριν μιας ώρας στο σπί-τι όπου ένας ακόμα ενήλικας κάθεται πάνω από το κεφάλι του και τον πιέζει…

ΛΛΟΟΥΥΚΙΚΔΙΟ∆ΥΟ—ΥΜ—ΠΜΟΥΠΡΟΝΥΤΑΡΝΤΑ Paggee 3Γιατί η κοινωνική μάθηση είναι ιδανική για το παιδί; Όλες οι μελέτες συμφωνούν ότι το παιδί μαθαίνεικαλύτερα όταν μαθαίνει με παρέα. Το παιδί αφομοιώνει περισσότερα σε ένα ομαδικό περιβάλλον. Επί-σης το παιδί αναπτύσσει πολλές δεξιότητες, θετικά στοιχεία του χαρακτήρα και καλύτερη κοινωνικήπροσαρμογή, όταν μεγαλώνει και αναπτύσσεται σε ένα κοινωνικό περιβάλλον.Τα οφέλη της κοινωνικής μάθησης, στο σχολείο ξένης γλώσσας:Δοκιμασμένο πρόγραμμα σπουδώνΤο σχολείο ξένης γλώσσας ακολουθεί ένα αναλυτικό πρόγραμμα σπουδών και μελέτης. Θα καλύψει τηνύλη που πρέπει, και αν ο Νίκος έχει κενά ή δεν την προφταίνει αυτή την ύλη, το σχολείο θα φροντίσει νακαλύψει τα κενά του. Δεν θα προσαρμοστεί το σχολείο στο ρυθμό του Νίκου, αλλά θα φροντίσει να προ-σφέρει στο παιδί τη δυνατότητα να αφομοιώσει τις γνώσεις του όσο καλύτερα γίνεται ώστε να μην υστε-ρεί.Σύγχρονη μεθοδολογία μάθησηςΣτο σχολείο ξένης γλώσσας ακολουθείται ένα δοκιμασμένο σύστημα. Υπάρχουν επιστημονικές μεθοδο-λογίες που διαρκώς εκσυγχρονίζονται ως προς το πώς το παιδί θα μάθει τα γραμματικά φαινόμενα, τηνορθογραφία, την προφορά, τη γραφή. Όλα αυτά απαιτείται να μαθαίνονται με σύγχρονους τρόπους πουδιευκολύνουν το παιδί και κάνουν τη μάθηση ευχάριστη και εύκολη.EνημέρωσηΌταν όλα στη ζωή εξελίσσονται, η διδασκαλία της γλώσσας δεν παραμένει κάτι στατικό. Εξελίσσεται,Διαρκώς με καινούρια βιβλία, νέες προσεγγίσεις, καινούριο εξοπλισμό, με τη βοήθεια του ιντερνέτ, μεonline εφόδια.Όλη αυτή η ενημέρωση είναι στα χέρια των δασκάλων σε ένα οργανωμένο σχολείο, αλλά σπάνια μπορείένας καθηγητής ατομικά, να έχει αυτό το επίπεδο επαγγελματισμού.ΠειθαρχίαΠολλοί γονείς νομίζουν ότι το παιδί θα πειθαρχήσει όταν βρίσκεται ένας προς έναν με έναν δάσκαλογλώσσας. Πόσο μεγάλο λάθος όμως είναι αυτό. Άραγε ο Νίκος, ο 11χρονος μαθητής, αργότερα θα έχειστη δουλειά του κάποιον προπονητή από κοντά να τον καθοδηγεί; Στο Πανεπιστήμιο θα κάνει ιδιαίτερο;Ή στο μεταπτυχιακό μετά; Ο Νίκος πρέπει να μάθει να πειθαρχεί μόνος του, αλλά δουλεύοντας και μα-θαίνοντας σε ένα σύνολο. Πρέπει να αισθάνεται μέλος της ομάδας, ενώ ταυτόχρονα θα πρέπει να ξέρειτι πρέπει να κάνει μόνος του. Στο μάθημα ο Νίκος δε χρειάζεται ατομικό προπονητή. Χρειάζεται ενθάρ-ρυνση, πίστη στον εαυτό του, όρεξη να τα καταφέρει, κι εκεί η ενθάρρυνση των γονιών και η υποστήρι-ξη, τα κοινά βιώματα της ομάδας είναι πολύ σημαντικά. Τα παιδιά μοιράζονται τις έγνοιες τους, και χω-ρίς καν να το καταλαβαίνουν ζουν την άμιλλα που τα σπρώχνει μπροστά.ΟμαδικότηταΗ ομαδικότητα είναι ένα εξαιρετικό μαθησιακό εργαλείο. Το παιδί παρακινείται από τους υπόλοιπουςμαθητές. Βάζει στόχους βλέποντας αυτούς που ήδη έχουν προχωρήσει, αλλά ξέρει ότι υπάρχουν κι άλλοιπου ακολουθούν, άρα δεν απογοητεύεται.Επιπλέον, η ομαδικότητα του προσφέρει ευχαρίστηση, ενδιαφέρον. Μαθαίνει καλύτερα το παιδί ότανμαθαίνει σε ένα φιλικό περιβάλλον με συνομήλικους.

Δεν το μαθαίνει κανείς απλά για να «βρίσκεται», αλλά για να το χρη-σιμοποιεί, για να αποτελεί εφόδιο στο μέλλον, στο επάγγελμα, στις σχέσεις, στην ενημέρωση, στη διαβίου μάθηση.Στο σχολείο ξένης γλώσσας το παιδί επικοινωνεί, κουβεντιάζει, εκφράζεται με πολλούς τρόπους και ταυ-τόχρονα εκτίθεται σε πάρα πολλά ερεθίσματα της ξένης γλώσσας.ΣυνεργασίαΣτο σχολείο ξένης γλώσσας το παιδί βρίσκεται σε ένα ομαδικό περιβάλλον, όπου συμβιώνει, κάνει φιλί-ες, μαθαίνει τη συνεργασία.Είναι ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό να μαθαίνει να προσεγγίζει στόχους μαζί με άλλους και όχι μόνος του. Είναικάτι που θα κάνει σε όλη την επαγγελματική ζωή του. Τα θεμέλια της ικανότητας για συνεργασία τίθε-νται στην παιδική ηλικία, όπου το παιδί μέσα στην όμορφη ομάδα της τάξης των αγγλικών, καταλαβαίνειτι σημαίνει να συγκρούομαι και να φιλιώνω, να συζητώ στην τάξη, να συνεργάζομαι, να προσπαθούμεόλοι μαζί.Τα ιδιαίτερα μαθήματα έχουν κι αυτά τη χρησιμότητά τους. Ενδείκνυνται για παιδιά που έχουν πολύσοβαρές μαθησιακές δυσκολίες. Κι εκεί χρειάζονται ειδικά εκπαιδευμένοι δάσκαλοι για να τα υποστηρί-ξουν.Το Κέντρο μας θα συνεχίσει να εξελίσσεται, να συμπορεύεται με τα νέα δεδομένα που φέρνει αυτή ητόσο ενδιαφέρουσα εποχή της πληροφορίας στην οποία ζούμε, και θα προσφέρει στα παιδιά μας ε-ξαιρετικές συνθήκες κοινωνικής μάθησης και διαμόρφωσης χαρακτήρα.

They provide an important source of food to a lot of large aquatic organisms such as fish and whales. Dimitris Geromanolis The blue whale is the largest creature to have lived on Earth. It is larger than any of the dinosaurs. The biggest blue whale recorded was a female in the Atlantic Ocean that was 30.5 metres long with an estimated weight of 144 tones. The tongue alone of a blue whale can weigh as much as an elephant and an entire football team could stand on it. Its heart is about the size of a small car and weighs up to 450 kilos.

Some of ourmental problems are that we get easily angry 24/7. We also feel like no one understands usand that makes us believe that we are alone. What is more, is that parents do not realize theway we feel while we think that the pressure that is put on us is enough. Consequently, thisforces us to act in a way we don't want to, or take responsibilities or do things we are unableto. All that pressure makes teenagers feel depressed and leads them to have difficulty inopening up to new people and making new friends.On the other hand, problems including appearance should be taken into consideration.Namely, stress creates acne, a long term skin disease.

ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄΠ. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 42 Although many people would generally agree that the reason many teenagers become addicted to drugs is just bad behavior and parent's inability to take care of their children, few would deny that this is not true maintaining that a wide variety of different factors may contribute to drug addiction. So, which one of these statements is correct? To begin with, a main factor of drug addiction is other people. Teenagers see lots of people consuming various substances. They see their parents and other adults drinking alcohol smoking cigarettes and sometimes trying other substances. Also, sometimes friends urge one another to have a drink or smoke, but it is common for them to start trying a substance, because it is readily available and they see their friends enjoying it. Further- more, social media is a factor that makes teenagers be addicted to drugs. For instance, there are many artists and tv show actors that abuse harmful substances in a way that makes their funs believe that all these sub- stances are not something perilous. An additional reason is lack of confidence. Many shy teenagers who lack confidence report that they will do things under the influence of alcohol or drugs that they might not otherwise. Alcohol and other drugs tend not only to lose your inhibitions but to alleviate social anxiety. Not only do you have something in common with other people around you, but there is the mentality that, if you do anything or say anything not proper, everyone will just think you were under the influence or consumed much alcohol. And last but not least there is my last factor that may contribute to drug addiction and this is the belief that drugs and alcohol work quickly. The initial effects feel really good Teenagers turn to drug use because they consider it to be a shortcut to happiness. In order to avoid having your children addicted to drugs, I would recommend that parents understand these reasons and talk to their kids about the dangers of drinking and doing drugs. It is more than essential that parents understand both their and their children's position and make them feel free to talk to you about their problems and reassure that none the children's actions may lead to drug addiction To sum up, I firmly believe that drug addiction is e serious problem especially when it starts from the young age of a teenager. I hope my suggestions will be helpful and I believe that nobody wants to kill himself by his actions. Vangelis Panagiotopoulos Recent research indicates that the number of teenagers who are facing the problem of drug addiction is gradu- ally increasing. Undeniably, there are some agents that contribute to teenagers resorting to drugs. Neverthe- less, there are initiatives that should be taken by their immediate families and schools, in order to assist them and abet them overcome this problem. First of all, I tend to believe that many teenagers use drugs for the first time in order not to be stigmatized by their friends or to impress others. Furthermore, one fundamental factor that contributes to substance abuse is the immediate family. Exposure to family members who reach for a sub- stance to cure every pain or ailment is able to cause a teenager to do the same. Moreover, one other momen- tous agent is stress. Some juveniles reach for substances as an attempt to relieve stress. Were the educational sector to inform young people on the potential risks of abusing drugs, the situation would doubtless improve. I would also suggest that the family should converse with the teenagers and inform them about the dangers of drug abuse. Taking everything into consideration, I am inclined to believe that although there are many juveniles that are resorting to drugs for assorted reasons, we are able to curtail this number of drug-addicted teenagers and I would recommend that every single one of us should contribute with their daily personal effort to restrict this phenomenon.

ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄΠ. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 43Nowadays the people addicted to drugs are rapidly increasing. Resent research indicates how tremendous the num-ber of young individuals taking drugs is. However, the question which comes to our mind is why they are led to this.To begin with, we live in a society in which if you are not what others want you to be, then you are not worth living.Initially, today’s children have the tendency to show their abilities and generally be exhibitionists by smoking or evenworse by taking drugs. However awesome it may seem to them when by acting like that they make friends and fos-ter relationships, they do not take into consideration the fact that if they stop those actions, their friends will be van-ished. So, it is a fact that a considerable number of kids turn to drugs for showing off, finding friends or becomingpopular. Another important reason that contributes to teenagers’ resorting to drugs is their parents’ ignorance. Themajority of parents work hard many hours per day with the prospective of their children living a convenient life.Nonetheless, they have never thought that had their children to choose between living a desirable life, with their par-ents working all day long, or a less luxurious life with their parents’ cordial company, they would undoubtedly opt forthe second one. Furthermore, psychological factors also play an important role in children’s demeanor. As a matterof fact, offspring feeling loneliness, they get through a vulnerable condition and they consume drugs with the thoughtthat drugs are the only way so as to escape from the rough reality they live in. It is widely believed that the burden ofresponsibility lies on both parents and teachers. What should schools do is make children aware of the effect of thedrugs. They should get them to believe how catastrophic the consequences are. Moreover, it is suggested that par-ents work less hours and spare more time with their offspring in order to curtail the social issue. They can playgames together; go to the cinema or on family excursions. Last but not least, it is highly recommended that adultsmake teenagers understand the importance of being real and genuine. Not only will the children avoid showing offby taking drugs, but also being authentic their real beauty will come up and, as a result, they will built relationships,based on real pleasure, which will last forever. To sum up, both adults and adolescents should take into considera-tion the seriousness of the problem. Should they nit make a remarkable effort to surmount the strenuous and unfa-vorable situation, future may bring worse consequences.Katerina KakoRecent research indicates that more and more young people are becoming addicted to drugs. Although many peo-ple would agree that drug abuse cannot be reversed few would claim that schools and families can help teenagerschange their habits.First of all, as I see it, there are numerous reasons for which somebody would face this state. For instance, low con-fidences, lack of friends, family problems or stress often lead to this negative habit. Bad influence is also consideredto be an important factor. Last but not least, curiosity is what makes the situation worse. For example, when some-one watches their friends smoking, taking drugs and getting “high” they want to try so as to be accepted by them.On the other hand, there should be put an end to this and schools and families are the only that can help. It is es-sential that projects be organized in order to prevent drug consumption. Another idea would be the projection of vid-eos showing the consequences of illegal substances using graphic images. As a result, teenagers will be disgustedand have no lust for this fatal activity. On the contrary, they will crave for a healthy lifestyle.Should these measures not be taken into consideration, our society will end up being horrible and the next genera-tions will lack critical thinking and have more and more physical and psychological problems.Aliki GeromanoliSupervising Teacher: Chasiotis PaschalisClass: Proficiency

ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΞΕΝΩΝ ΓΛΩΣΣΩΝ NEW SUCCESS g{x fàâwxÇàá ]ÉâÜÇtÄΠ. ΛΟΥΚΙΔΟΥ—ΜΠΟΥΡΝΤΑ Page 44Recent research indicates that the number of teenagers who are facing a drug addiction problem nowadays isconstantly increasing on a significantly rapid rate due to many reasons. That being a really solemn phenomenonin contemporary societies, drastic measures must be taken by both families and schools in order to curtail thesituation. One factor which has led to teenagers' resorting to drugs is the general vulnerability by which they aredominated during their adolescence, as it is a frail time in which every person is bound to experience somephysical and psychological changes combined with their attempts to fit in. Additionally, peer pressure is anotherfactor that has contributed to teenage drug addiction, since adolescents often feel the need to act and behavethe same way their friends and people their age do. Also, one more reason to blame for drug addiction is theplausible loss of a loved one whether that be a family member, a friend or even a lover, as well as the fact thatlots of teens may struggle with anxiety and depression regarding school, homework, innumerable assignmentsand exams so they resort to drugs as a means to escaping the harsh reality they have to face every day of theirlives. Concerning the measures that parents and schools have to take, there is an abundance of them, so thereis no need to worry. First of all, it is of paramount importance that after parents notice and realize that there issomething wrong with their kids to reach out to them and try to have a serene, genuine discussion about theissue and most importantly to listen to what their children have to say. Subsequently, they can offer their teenssome advice and also warn them about the serious consequences drug addiction may have on their physicaland mental health later in life. As for the school, what an authority like that can do is to invite and organize ahandful of events by distinguished and official institutions with the aim of preventing students from drug use, in-forming them about the hazardous effects it has over their well-being in life, as well as suggesting some rehabgroups for them to join making it easier to suspend from drugs since they will be with people their age, who gothrough the same problems as they do. In short, I am inclined to believe that whoever may be facing drug addic-tion problems simply needs to know that they are not alone and that things will actually start to get better atsome point if you just believe and keep fighting.Orestis HarbisThere is no single reason why teenagers use drugs or alcohol. But here are some of the key issues and influ-ences behind the behavior of teenage drug and alcohol use. Teenagers see lots of people consuming varioussubstances. They see their parents and other adults drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and, sometimes, tryingother substances. Also, a teenager's social scene often turns around drinking and smoking. Sometimes friendsask one another to have a drink or smoke pot, but it's just as common for teens to start trying a substance be-cause it's easily available and they see all their friends enjoying it. In their minds, they see drug use as part ofthe normal teenage experience. Some teens, like some adults, reach for substances as an attempt to relievestress. This can be the root cause of substance abuse in adolescents with underlying mental conditions such asgeneralized anxiety disorder or social anxiety disorder. Child abuse can create the level of stress that triggerssome teens to abuse drugs. If your child seems to be under undue stress, insist on mental health assessmentand counseling if needed. It is critical to remember that there is help and hope for anyone who has developedan addiction. With the proper intervention, you can make the changes that will put you on the path to sobriety.Giannis PapadopoulosSupervising Teacher: Chasiotis PaschalisClass: Proficiency

In this collaborative environment formed by theparticipating students (A Senior, B Senior, Pre lower class), they benefit fromtheir cooperation with the Russian school as they come out of the narrow lim-its of the class and realize that the teaching course acquires a European di-mension. At the same time, the exchange of ideas, views and the general in-teraction of the students leads to the development of a team spirit and, simul-taneously, to the preservation of enthusiasm and energy.
