WHITE My name is white. I was born in Alaska. Alaska is very cold city. Black hates me. Because I show reals. But black doesn’t show reals. But I like him and I can’t say to him. He was opposite me. I have true beauty and I’m honest. I look like the moon... Today is Monday. I’m excited. Because I’m going to my new work. I was ready and I left home. Bu the way, I’m a teacher. Finally I came to school. I was feeling stressed. I went to principal’s room. I came to room and I saw him!! He was black! I was shocked. Black said to me “Sit down!” I was scared and I sat. After a few days, we got used to each other anymore. Black was rude. But otherwise, he was emotional. I was wondering that if he loves me. One day, it came out a fire at school. I was alone at classroom. I was scared. What could I do? I tried to find something to put out the fire. But I couldn’t. I started to scream: “Help!!!” Suddenly, black appeared! I was really relieved to see him. He took me in his arms and we left the room while firemans was putting out the fire. I fell in love with him again. I didn’t know that he love me. He said: “Will you marry me?” and I said: “Yes!” Sevde Nur Ayten Sümeyye Atkın Rabia Baran STORY OF COLOURS by 9-C 2
The TALE of GREEN Green is the color of world in forests, in mountains, in everywhere even in somebody’s feelings. Like love… Sometimes somebody’s green is different. Not like mountain, like forest you can lost in these. So, the green can mean everything for us. Like air, like water, like oxygen or like love. Sometimes the greens which come to our lives suddenly can change our life, we can be addicted to these greens. Or maybe it can be the saddest part of us. A part of us that will never be ours. Green can be our fairytale… Sometimes you can see that green every time you close your eyes… Ayşe Karataş Sıla Köse Rümeysa Kumral 3

Suddenly he sends with the trees. You'll see it when you open the window one morning. The most beautiful shade of yellow has arrived, Leaves. Autumn is very strange. Quietly, calmly, unnoticed, suddenly. It comes heralding spring. He brought the most beautiful shade of yellow, the sun. He comes to meet the lovers. It comes from the Aegean and goes to the Black Sea. It swallows their love like a secret. It buries deep, deepest. Autumn brings the best. Brings the most beautiful shade of yellow. It brings the shining with the sun's hit. The sun, your eyes, and most importantly, It brings the most beautiful shade of yellow to your HAIR. Asuman Sare Toptaş 9-A Blue Blue, ruler of the sky Blue, clean waves ofthe sea What color do you think freedom is? Ithink it's mostly blue. Where the earth meets the sky, Where one can look and find peace, When people look and think, Everywhere is blue... Nesrin Gurbet 9-B Orange Stretch my hands to autumn, With a gentle breeze, I hold the dancing orange petals in my palm. Fresh oranges on the tree, I hold the glorious red of the sky turning orange. Orange means hope. I hold my hopes for this life where mostly clothes, Sky and fruits are painted orange Gülsu Usta 9B 857 7

Food Culture Swedish food culture is dominated by seafood, due to the fact that the country is located on an island, has the effect of being in the north, and has a coast to the sea. It is possible to find and eat seafood at any time of the day. Swedish cuisine is generally based on fish, potatoes, milk and meat. The most famous dishes are Swedish meatballs served with boiled potatoes and gravy, Lingon with wild cranberry jam, and Knäckebröd, a crispy bread that resembles rusk. The Features of Swedish Culture The Swedes celebrate the development of Christmas by lighting candles and St. They celebrate by paying their respects to Lucia. The streets are filled with countless violinists. Although the streets of Sweden are deserted in winter, festivals and various street parties welcome you. In the country famous for its northern lights, the Kiruna Snow Festival was held every year around February. For those who consider the cold behavior of the Swedes or Scandinavians, it is worth suspecting that this is mainly due to their shyness. For them, punctuality is the most important quality. They don't like to be late. It's normal for a Swede not to answer when you ask, unless the address is asked. Swedish users are generally environmentalists. They attach great importance to the recycling of garbage and waste. Education Life in Sweden Sweden is among the top 10 countries with the best education system in the world in terms of education quality. Breeders who want to study in this country prefer Sweden in terms of modern education environments, economic living conditions, being a member of the European Union, and Christianity among the healthiest countries in the world. Swedish Culture from Art to Fashion Sweden is a country with world-famous content. Greta Garbo, an actress who became famous in the silent film era of Hollywood, and Ingmar Bergman, who won an Oscar for her role in Murder on the Orient Express, were born in Sweden. In addition to the artists, the number of writers who received the Nobel Prize in Literature is 7 in the country. We recommend you not to miss the Gothenburg International Film Festival, which starts towards the end of January and lasts for 10 days, in the country famous for its festivals and fairs. The headquarters of brands and fashion houses such as H&M, Odd Molly, Filippa K and Lindeberg are in Sweden, which is a reason for preference for users who want to study Fashion Design. Twice a year, August and February information is gathered at Stockholm Fashion Week and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. In addition, H&M Company is satisfied with the ability to take steps to continue the career for young and new customers who want to pursue a career in fashion. It is worth mentioning that Sweden is a somewhat expensive country in terms of shopping. It is useful to see the world-famous glassware and the wooden horses, which are the symbol of the country.

NO LONGER MOURN FOR ME WHEN I AM DEAD by William Shakespeare No longer mourn for me when I am dead Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell Give warning to the world that I am fled From this vile world with vilest worms to dwell; Nay, if you read this line, remember not The hand that writ it; for I love you so, That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, If thinking on me then should make you woe. O, if (I say) you look upon this verse, When I (perhaps) compounded am with clay, Do not so much as my poor name rehearse, But let your love even with my life decay, Lest the wise world should look into your moan, And mock you with me after I am gone. 13
