The Many Seasons in Turkey
If you go to Turkey, you can see three seasons at the same time. If you go to Eastern Turkey, you will see that the weather is very cold. It is dark because the sun does not shine. There are not any leaves, and the roads are icy. People ski, but a lot of people also get sick because of the cold weather. Snow covers the entire area, and the people are not happy. But if you go to Western Turkey, you will see spring. There are flowers, green grass, fruit, and sunshine. Western Turkey is a very good area. A lot of people live there. You will also see a lot of tourists. If you go to South Turkey, you will see the summer season. There is sunlight, and you will see flowers, fruits, green grass, and the sea. A lot of men take sun baths because the sea is very cool. There are many crops and products like fruits and vegetables for sale.

Isle of Skye,
Scotland
5th August
Hi Tania,
How are you? I hope the summer job is going well. Have you decided where to go on holiday? That skiing break sounds the best, doesn’t it?
Anyway, we are camping here on the Isle of Skye. We are staying on a campsite in the middle of nowhere. We’ve been here for five days but it feels longer. It’s rained every single day - can you believe it? Everything is wet - our shoes, our sleeping bags, all our clothes!
Luckily, we didn’t come here for the nightlife. Actually, there isn’t any. But then we’re too tired at the end of the day anyway. We go walking every day and yesterday saw some seals. We’ve all tried sailing and windsurfing, but we’re not very good. This afternoon I fell into the sea five times!
Well, I must finish - it’s my turn to cook tonight. Write back soon - I’ll be home on Monday 15th. You can tell me all your news!
All the best,
Janet

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to ask for more information about the youth debating competition, which I saw advertised in the International Student. I am the chairperson of my schools debating team and we would be very interested in participating, but require further details.
First of all, could you let us know whether there is an age limit for participants? Our team consists of twenty-five students aged between thirteen and seventeen. Would it be possible for all of us to take part? And if so, would we need to be accompanied by a teacher?
We would also be grateful if you could tell us when the deadline for application is, as well as the exact dates of the competition so that we can make the necessary travel arrangements. Finally, we would appreciate some information concerning accommodation in the area where the competition is going to take place.
I look forward to receiving your answer.
Yours faithfully,
Anna Milton
