9G REMINDER: Bring in an English news article for Monday. Use the news sources I listed in this post.

Ece came late to class on the fırst day of school, and I thought, "Oh - so she will be one of those girls." She has come late a few times since then, but she is most definitely NOT "one of those girls." Ece has shown that she likes to think quietly and talk with friends (mostly Aslı) and she has no problem doing both while also getting her work done.

She is deifnitely a good person to become friends with because she is the kind of girl who is able to think for herself and will say things that she means.

Presenting...Ece!

Brazil has many similarities to Turkey (traffic jams, etc). It was very colorful. There was an ocean. It was the first time I went to the ocean and that’s it. I pretended that it was a normal sea and then a wave came and it was terrible.

World’s worst problem: There are many.
