MY PADLET by Zeynep Yeten

HOLİDAY
My last holiday was enjoyable for me. I went to Bodrum with my family in the summer two years ago. The weather was very hot. I didn't like it. We stayed at a hotel for a week. I ran every morning. When I played swimming I made a foreign friend. He is American. His name is Peter.He lives in Turkey so he can speak Turkish.When he returned to Istanbul,I introduced him to Hannah. She is Cannadian. When I continued the English Course she was my teacher. Then she returned to Canada. My family and I went to Bodrum center on the third day. We bought souvenirs and we ate Çökertme kebab. We liked it. Then we returned to the hotel and had a rest . The next day I did karaoke, I still feel sorry for the people there because my voice isn’t good and I danced. We had fun for a week and I missed Istanbul. Then we returned to İstanbul.

DESCRİBE OF CİTY
I live in İstanbul, Turkey’s most populous city. It is in the Marmara region and it has a population of more than 15 millions. It connects Asian and European continents. It is Turkey’s cultural heart and the 5th most visited city in the world.

Istanbul has got more than 8500 years of history. It became the capital of 3 empires and commanders wanted to conquer it. It is so important for Müslims becasue Prophet Muhammad had said:“Istanbul will surely be conquered;what a good commander is the conqueror, what a good soldier is the conqueror.” and Ottoman King Sultn Mehmet II conquered Istanbul in 1453 with his army.

Tourists see both historical and natural beauties here. Bosphorus,Göktürk Lake, Belgrad Forest example of natural beauties.

Galata Tower is one of the most popular buildings for tourists because When you go to the tower, the area around looks perfect. It has a fantastic story.

According to the story, the Maiden's Tower and Galata Tower are in love with each other and this love makes them more beautiful.

Istanbul is a historical and amazing city.This city is indispensable for many people who live here.There is so much traffic and noise but its beauty prevents us from seeing them.
