By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to

| Years ago, there lived a wealthy man named Mr. Cooper who, with his dearest young son John, loved art collecting. Together they traveled around the world, collecting the finest art treasures. One winter, war came to the nation, and John left to serve his country. After only a few short weeks, his father received a telegram reading that John had died while saving a fellow soldier.

| Last year my wife and I spent a most interesting month in Turkey. Before we left, we were reminded of the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (铺设). We drove for 12 days along the Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers to be very polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult, so we picnicked almost every day. The following day after our arrival was Turkey"s Children"s Day, started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk loved children and he often said:"Children are a new beginning of tomorrow." He even dedicated (奉 献) the day 23rd of April to the children which today is celebrated as Children"s Day as well as the date when the Republic of Turkey was founded. On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be the president of Turkey for a whole day. He can decide what"s going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president next to him. There are a very large number of possibilities of things he can do but some shops aren"t open because they are celebrating the day as well. All in all, it was a more enjoyable trip. I would recommend (推荐) a trip to Turkey to anyone with an adventurous (冒险的) spirit! | ||||||||||||||||||
