Watermelon
Who don’t like those big Green fruit which is so refreshing, juicy and sweet. The best watermelons are in the middle of the summer. I like it the most in the sunny, hot day when I take it out from my fridge and make fresh, cold extremely good drink. But… did you ever try to find the history of this fruit? From where it comes from? Is there only one type of watermelon ?
Laser
Laser is a very powerful light beam strong enough to carry enormous amount of energy, cut through metal and travel vast distance. It does not exist in nature - laser is a human technology. There are many kinds of lasers used in different ways, e.g. small lasers in CD and DVD players, bar code readers in stores, lasers used to delicate surgeries, to produce cars, to cut many layers of fabric at once in clothing factories.
Watermill
In today's "Speak if it's Greek" we will talk about the Water Mill.
Water Mill is a mill that uses moving waters as its power source. Ok, you know what is it.
So, is it possible that the Greek people invented the Watermill? Listen to the story and decide.
Bulletproof Vest
Also known as a ballistic or bullet-resistant vest, bulletproof vest is a necessary item for soldiers, maybe even equally important as a combat helmet. Its main task is to prevent bullets from getting into body and absorb their kinetic energy. The vest provides torso protection from knives, small-caliber gun missiles or even some shrapnels and fragments from hand granade explosives.
Postcards
Today in Speak if it's Greek we will talk about Postcards.
Those small rectangular pieces of thick paper are widespread in the whole world... and I'm sure that you have sent or received postcards during your life!
The Wine
Okay, so you're in Greece (if you're not, use your imagination). In the country that created and worshipped Dionysus, the god of grape harvest and wine. The country loving its tradition and history. 'Let's have a meeting without the wine' - said no Greek ever. You can't just eat dinner there without drinking at least one or two glasses of this drink.
