Conversation 1:

Jack: Hi, Sue.

Sue: Hi, Jack.

Jack: When did you come back from

holiday?

Sue: Just a few days ago.

Jack: Where were you? When I last saw

you, you were trying to make a choice with your parents.

Sue: Yes. At first, we couldn’t decide where

to go. There were 3 options. Mum wanted to go

to Japan, while dad preferred travelling to Spain.

And the third option was Egypt. After we had

done some research on the Net, we made up

our minds. When my parents saw the pictures of Egypt, they decided to go there.

Jack: Did you enjoy yourselves there?

Sue: Yes, we did. We loved Egypt. It was

terrific.

Jack: Really?

Sue: Yes. We had the time of our lives

there. I think you should definitely see Egypt.

Jack: Why not?

Conversation 2:

Britney: Hello, Matt.

Matt: Hi, Britney.

Britney: What’s up? You look upset. Have

you failed the final exam?

Matt: No.

Britney: What’s the matter, then?

Matt: I was at the post office an hour ago.

I stayed inside for about 10 minutes. After I had

posted some letters, I walked outside. Guess

what! I couldn’t find my motorbike because

someone had stolen it.

Britney: Really? Are you pulling my leg?

Matt: No, Britney. That’s true. I got really

shocked.

Britney: That’s terrible.

Matt: Yes. I don’t know what to do.

Britney: Did you go to the police station

after you had left the post office?

Matt: No.

Britney: You should report the incident to

the police, so you ought to go to the nearest

police station today.

Matt: You’re right. I’ll go there immediately.

Conversation 3:

Jim: Good morning, Emily.

Emily: Good morning, Jim.

Jim: What’s the matter? You don’t look

well.

Emily: I feel really unhappy.

Jim: Why? What happened?

Emily: I went to the airport yesterday

evening as I wanted to fly to Madrid. I hoped

to visit my cousin there. I had bought my

ticket in advance. That was a few weeks ago.

And I had checked in online before I went to

the airport because I didn’t want any trouble

before my flight. But guess what!

Jim: What happened?

Emily: When I arrived at the airport, I

realized that I had left my passport at home.

That was terrible.

Jim: Oh, what a pity!

Emily: Yes. I feel so bad.

Jim: Never mind, Emily. You can go

another time

Mehmed II was born in 1432. When he was 13

years old, his father Murad II decided to get retired

and wanted Mehmed to become the sultan. However,

Mehmed was very young, and there were too many

problems throughout the Ottoman Empire. For this

reason, Murad II came back in 1443. So Mehmed

could rule the empire only for 3 years. After his father

had returned to power, he went to Kütahya and started

to live there. In 1450, his father got very ill, so Mehmed came to Edirne again. Soon afterwards,

Murad II passed away. Next, Mehmed became the sultan for the second time. He was 17 years

old. Before he began to rule the empire, he had had a very good education. According to some

sources, he could speak 5 languages fluently. He was also interested in literature, fine arts and

architecture. Above all, he was a great leader and a very brave soldier. After the conquest of

İstanbul, he made lots of achievements and created a world empire. He had the power for 29

years. Eventually, he passed away in 1481. His tomb is near the Fatih Mosque in İstanbul.
