Ali And His Camera

“Ali lives in Istanbul, a big city in Turkey. He lives in an old building near the famous Blue Mosque.”

 

 I read “Ali And His Camera”.

 He liked to take photos, but he didn’t have a camera. He took photos in his head and he was able to see the photos in his head. One day, he really wanted to get a camera, so he decided to earn some money and got a camera.

 At first, he worked at the market in his city after school. After many people shopping, he carried their bags to their destination. After that, he got money from their customer.

 One day, an old woman asked him to carry her bags. After that thing, she listened from him about his dream in the future and then, she gave one camera to Ali. It was her son’s camera but he didn’t use it. Ali was very happy and had took many photos. The old woman’s son was an newspaper reporter. Ali visited him and learned about photos. However, he evaluates “not bad” about Ali’s photos. Ali wanted to learn more and went to Selim’s shop. He was a photography shop’s man. In the learning, he got many skills about taking photos. Finally, his photos are appeared at the newspaper. He was very surprising about it!

 

 This story was very good because the story says that many efforts gives us dreams. I have many things what I want to in the future, but I don’t such efforts. So, I want to do many things to my future dreams.

Lucky Break

“It is a winter afternoon in Los Angeles. Tom is playing in a football game. He likes football, but …”

 

 I read “Lucky Break”.

 In a football game, Tom broke his leg. He was disappointed about it. A week later, Tom was reading a newspaper. The content was that one movie star will come Los Angeles. He thought that he may be able to see the star and take her autograph. So, he went to the movie theater by taxi. However, there were many people at the place. At that time, the movie star was coming and many people moved. Then, he fell down because he was pushed by many people and the movie star’s foot hit his crutch. Her dress became dirty and she was angry with him.

 The incident appeared in Los Angeles newspaper. So, he and his crutch became popular in Los Angeles. The American football held and after that, there was an auction. Football fans gave money for T-shirts and football…. The money was for a children’s hospital. Then, Tom had a good idea. “Who wants this famous crutch?” He decided to sell his crutch. Many people wanted to buy the “famous” crutch. The one’s price was much higher and that became very good thing for children’s hospital. His bad thing became good thing.

 

 I think that was the good story for me. He didn’t sell his crutch for his profit, he sold it for the children. So, after reading this story, I thought that I want to be a good man like him.
