I live in a house in Izmit. It isn't old or modern. It's a normal Turkish house.
We can say it is near the sea. It takes about 10 minutes to go to the seaside on
foot. We have one bedroom, one living room. We also have two other rooms, too.
We use them as a dining room. Naturally, we have a kitchen, a bathroom, and a
toilet. I live with my parents. And our house has a little garden; my parents spend
their time there to grow vegetables and fruit.

another sheet of paper for this writing activity.

A TRIP TO PARAPAT
Last Saturday was a public holiday. The students of SMP 1 Medan took a
trip to Parapat. They hired three buses. They were new and luxurious. In the
morning, the students woke up early. Their mothers prepared some food, drinks and
fruits for them their parents took them to the school. The buses were already there.
Some students were in the buses. Their parents were waiting on both sides of the
street. At six o’clock the buses left their school. The students looked very happy and
started to sing. At nine o’clock they reached Parapat. The students hurriedly got out
of the buses and carried their things and food. They gathered under a big tree. After
they took a rest, they had their meals. At about ten o’clock some of the students
changed into their swimsuits and ran into a boat for a sail. At three o’clock the
teachers called the students together because it was time to go home. In summary,
the trip was very enjoyable. This place is so impressive with its beautiful panorama
and boat ride.

Activity 5- Development of the ideas
There are three qualities that I need to see in a good friend. First, a good friend shouldn't tell
lies. I need to trust him so that I can talk to him. Second, a good friend should be there
when I needed him. I should be able to find him near me when I am in a bad mood or when I
have a problem. Finally, when necessary, he should criticize me so that I can change my
undesirable behavior or see where I am wrong. I think, these three qualities are the basic
properties in a good friend.
