Almost every day when we watch the news or read the neswpaper we come across very weird events. They mostly amaze us whenever
we heard or read them. Sometimes we find ourselves asking ‘Is it really true?’, ‘ How is it possible?’ or ‘ It should be a fake one!’

So here are some peculiar examples of those:

In hindsight

A 72- year old Chinese man had a really strange habit – he walked round
his neighbourhood every morning BACKWARDS! He was believed that
it was the best way to take exercise. Unfortunately, one morning while
he was exercising as he was used to, he fell into the lake. Some senior
citiziens were also walking at the same time. But, they were being quite
sensible and walking forwards. They helped the man to get out of the
water. One of the man called an ambulance as the Chinese man bumped
his head and he needed some stitches in his head.

What a Lifesaver

In the fall of 1991, when Tony Archer was a little boy he was on vacation
with his parents. The weather was fine. They were on the beach and Tony
went swimming. Suddenly, he went into trouble. Harriet Caine saw him
and saved him from drowning. After that, Harriet also gave him a cookie
to make him feel better. Ten years later, Tony was sitting on the same
beach when he saw a man drowning. He dived in and pulled him out of
the water. Soon, he found out that this man was Harriet’s husband.

Wong Numbers

Number 9 is associated with enduring love in Chinese culture. Do you
know about that? Well, 24-year- old Nicole Wong who is from Singapore
decided to give her husband a very special gift on their wedding day.
99,999 paper hearts! The problem is she prepared them in 3 years, mainly
from used bus tickets. Her friends helped her as well to do this. They put
the hearts into 1,000 bottles. Finally, she gave them to her husband on
their special day. It’s unknown that what her husband thought about this.

Begging, imploring is useless now,
ETERNAL
It goes with having no pity on
Beginning to the mornings
Did it snow to my temple? Even though we ain’t in the same city.
Is this face with wrinkle, my God?
And purple circles under my eyes? Name I keep in my mind
Growing happiness with you.
Why are you seen like an enemy; U in my heart, in the secret place.

I am not the one in the picture whichever I look at Maths Teacher

Where is those days, those enthusiasm, those
excitement?

I am not this pleasant man.

Our first love is something like a dream,
I find strange even its memory now.
Our ways seperate one by one,

With the friends we had begun living.
Our loneliness grows gradually.

I’ve seen that sky has also another colour.
I’ve noticed too late that stone is hard.
Water drowns and fire burns!
Each new day brings a new touble,

And man can discover all these just at this age.

Quince’s yellow, pomagranate’s red; autumn,
Which I adopt a little more each year.

Why are the birds wandering in the sky?
What funeral is this? Who is dead?

Afetr how many gardens is this one that I see as
scattered?

Unfortunately death is for everybody.
You’ll fall asleep but you won’t wake up again.

Who knows where, how, when?
You’ll have a single prayer’s glory,

On that throne-like gravestone.

ENGLISH IS FUN Nurhan KARA
Primary Department

We want to create a friendly and
cosy atmosphere where English
learning is fun and attractive for the
students.

A succesful learning environment
where various teaching methods
meet the needs of each student.

We want our children to speak
English all the time with us, both in
class and out of the class,because
we believe that practice makes
perfect.

Students need activities
involving physical movement and
coordination.

Communicative activities, such as
pair work, group work and role play,
give students the opportunity to
work independently of the teacher.
