When did he go to Italy? He went to Italy two years ago. What did he do in Istanbul? He visited museums there.

I went to the police station to report the crime. Chapter 8. Fire in Magnific.

All students are afraid of enigmatic now. They go swimming. They look around. Is enigmatic there? No, he isn't.

They play football. They look around. Is enigmatic there? No, he isn't. They do their homework. They look back.

Is enigmatic there? No, he isn't. Maybe he isn't there, but he is still on earth, and he has evil plans.

Students know this, but they can't explain it to their teachers. There is nothing they can do.

Enigmatic isn't their only problem. Also, the football finals are coming, and now they don't have enigmatic in their team. They can't cheat.

We must train harder. Jump, jump, jump. Run, run, run.

All students are tired. They are running at the bark.

We still have very strong players in our team. Sure, we can win this match in Istanbul without an alien in our team.

Istanbul. Oh, I'm very excited. Football finals are in Turkey this time. It's my country.

Yes, Istanbul is my hometown too. I miss it so much. Oh, great. You two can give us a tour in Istanbul.

Sure. What do you want to see there?

A. You are either. They tell what they want to do. You choose the correct answer.

One. I would like to do some shopping. Where can we go to do some shopping in Istanbul?

You can go to a department store. It's in the shopping mall.

Don't listen to him. That's not a good shopping place. You should go to the Grand Bazaar to see a famous shopping place.

Two. And where can you go to have fun? You can go to an amusement park. Oh, no. Yes, it's fun. But you can find that kind of place everywhere.

You should visit historical sites like Top Cup of Palace, Hagia, Sophia and Blue Mosque in Istanbul because you may learn many things about the Turkish history.

Also, it's so much fun. Three.

I would like to see some famous paintings. Where can I go to see them? You can go to an art gallery.

You should definitely go to one of those places in Istanbul. I usually visit one in Karakou. It's full of paintings. I love them.

Four. Where can I go to have a drink? You can go to a coffee shop in Karakou.

I think you should go to Salajak to have a drink and see a wonderful view. You can also see the maiden tower from there.

Five. I would like to watch a movie. Where can I watch a good movie? You may go to a movie theatre. You can watch a Turkish movie to learn about the Turkish culture.

B. Read Yasumin's explanations in part A and answer the questions accordingly.

Bad news. You can't see any of those places because you must train, train and train. We go there for football, not for fun. Now stop talking and run faster.

B. But Mr. Runner, don't you want to see any places in Istanbul?

I went to Istanbul two years ago with my best friend. I visited the historical places, shopping malls and art galleries. I stayed there for a week. I saw everything. It was great.

C. Answer the questions about Mr. Runner's trip to Istanbul. But we want to see those places too.

Well, you can see some important places in Istanbul. But first, you must get the football cup.

We should train harder then. They start running faster. Suddenly, Miranda falls down.

Mr. Runner examines her leg.

Oh, she hit her leg. Arda, go to the chemists and get an ice pack. Be quick.

D. Where should Arda go? Choose the correct pictures.

One. Arda goes to the chemists. But they don't have an ice pack. They gave it to the doctor and she took it to the hospital.

Two. So, Arda goes to the hospital. The doctor gave the ice pack to the baker. Arda can find him at the bakery.

Three. So he goes to the bakery. The baker says, Oh, sorry. I gave the ice bag to Mr. Manson. He works at the grocery store. He sells groceries.

Four. So, Arda goes to the grocery store. Finally, he takes the ice pack from the grocery store. He gets out and runs to the park.

He wants to give the ice pack to Miranda. But at that moment, he sees it.

Enigmatic.

He is hiding behind the bookstore. It is looking at him. Arda is scared.

Enigmatic walks towards Arda. E. You are enigmatic. Answer Arda's questions. Use the information in brackets.

Where were you enigmatic? One.

I visited some big cities all around the world. Who did you go with?

Two.

I was alone. What did you do there?

Three.

I visited municipality offices and city halls. Why did you do that?

Four.

I did it to stop all environmental activities. What is your plan enigmatic? What will you do?

Five.

I will increase pollution on earth. Why will you do that?

Six.

I will do that to destroy human's natural habitats. Why do you want to do that?

Seven.

I want to do that to destroy human species and take the natural resources of the earth.

Why did you attack Jimmy Purple?

Because he is an environmentalist. He protects your planet and I want to destroy it.

I can't believe it. I was wrong about you. You are evil. You came here to destroy the earth.

I am an alien space soldier. That's my job. I do secret research on other planets and then we destroy them.

You can't destroy the earth. I will protect it. I will fight you.

With what? I will destroy your planet, Arda. But before that, I will destroy your life.

Because you told people that I am an alien.

It burns the bookshop with his super space gun. The bookshop starts burning.

Enigmatic teleports and disappears.

F. What does Arda do next? Order the words to make meaningful sentences.

Arda runs to the fire station because the bookshop is on fire.

The firemen stop the fire on time. What Arda is scared. He goes to the police station to report the crime.

The same alien story again? This is silly. Wait here. We will call your teacher.

Mr. Runner comes after a few minutes. He looks very angry.

I only wanted an ice pack, Arda. And what did you do? You burned the bookshop.

Arda is shocked.

No, I didn't do it.

People say you were the only person around the bookshop. There was no one else. So, who started this fire? Aliens?

Yes, it was enigmatic. He started the fire with a super space gun. Later, he teleported and escaped.

Everyone looks at Arda. No one believes him.

I heard many lies from you, Arda. But this is the silliest one.

Please, Mr. Runner, no one believes me. Enigmatic is an alien. And he's in Magnific now. He started a fire. We must stop him.

I will call your parents. Now go to the park and continue training.

Arda goes to the park. He feels awful. He gives Miranda the ice pack, but there is no ice in it anymore.

Miranda's knee is purple now. She probably won't play in the football finals.

I'm sorry, I'm late. I tried to be fast, but some crazy things happened.

All students look at the smoke around the bookstore.

What happened, Arda?

Enigmatic burned it.

Students look worried.

We should go to the principal's office to see Mr. Ruhler.

He doesn't believe us. No one in Magnific believes us. We should leave Magnific to find help.

Yasmin agrees.

We should go to the governorship of Sunland because they may help us.

Jamie has an idea too.

We may go to the city hall of Sunland to ask for help.

The city halls before us. I think he has an evil plan. The world is in great danger, my friends.

Suddenly, enigmatic appears in front of them. It looks very angry. It points at the smoke around the bookstore.

This was just the beginning. We will meet again.

Then, it disappears.

Chapter 9. The Pollution Problem.

Arda and his friends are in the television room. They are watching TV.

Good morning. You are watching the news channel. Today we have really interesting news.

All mayors and leaders around the world came together in an environmental organization.

They made a list of rules. These new rules are a bit different from the old rules. They are really strange.

A. There is a problem with the sound system of the TV again. Write the missing letters and fill in the blanks.

Example. Factories don't have to use gas filters because they are unnecessary.

1. Factories have to pour their nuclear waste into the ocean because it's cheaper.

2. Builders must cut down trees to build roads and apartment blocks.

People need more buildings, not more forests.

People can throw their rubbish on the streets. Nature cleans them.

5. People don't have to use eco -friendly bags. They can use plastic ones and throw them out.

6. People mustn't use public transportation because it's always very crowded and uncomfortable.

7. People can waste water because there is too much water in nature.

8. People don't have to save energy because there are a lot of sources.

B. Look at the new rules of the leaders above. There is something wrong with these rules, right?

Correct the rules and write them. Use must, mustn't, have to, should or shouldn't.

8. Arta turns off the TV. He is very angry.

This is enigmatic. So that's its evil plan. It changes its appearance and looks like mayors and world leaders.

It makes these rules because it wants to harm the balance of nature. It will destroy our planet. We must take action.

What can we do? I have an idea. We will go to Istanbul to play football, right? Our match will be on TV and people all around the world will watch it.

Let's design t -shirts. We can write environmental slogans on them. We can wear them to the match. People will see our t -shirts.

We can start an environmental campaign. Good idea. You are very smart. Let's design t -shirts. Come on. We should go to the arts room.

C. Write different environmental slogans on the t -shirts of the team. It should be about the topics in brackets.

Next week, they go to Istanbul for the football finals. They are in the changing room of the football stadium.

This can't be my country. I can't breathe because of air pollution.

This isn't the problem of Turkey only. Air pollution is a big problem all around the world because factories don't use gas filters. It's enigmatic's plan.

At that moment, Mr. Runner gets in. He gives them gas masks.

Where are these gas masks? You will play with these on your faces.

What? We will play with gas masks on our faces?

Don't worry, Arda. You always break the rules and receive a red card in the second minute. You probably won't play so long.

Miranda's knee is injured, enigmatic isn't here. Our team is weak. We will definitely lose this match.

No one speaks. Everyone knows he is right. After a long silence, Arda stands up.

Maybe we will lose, but people will see our t -shirts. We shouldn't play to win today. We should play to save the world. Let's go there and make a difference.

Hi, dear Spectators. You're watching the International Middle School Football Cup Finals, and I'm the commentator of this match.

Today, Magnific plays against Sunland. The winner will get the cup, but who will win?

Sunland won many cups before, but Magnific didn't win any.

People think Sunland has more chance today.

Also, players will wear gas masks because of air pollution.

Oh, look. They're coming. Wow. Look at the t -shirts of Magnific's players.

There are environmental slogans on them. All the spectators applaud them.

And the match starts. Magnific has the ball. Oh, the player runs and hits the ball.

The ball bounces and hits Bonnie's head. It flies and go. The score is one to zero.

This time, Sunland has the ball. Players run fast. Arta tries to take the ball, but he can't.

Miranda tries to take the ball, too. Sunland's player hits her knee. Miranda falls down. She's injured. She's out of the game.

Sunland's player receives a red card. He's out of the game, too. Arta takes the ball. He runs. He runs. He runs.

The score is two to zero. Sunland has the ball. They run. Taylor tries to take the ball, but he can't.

Sunland is fast. Their player hits the ball. The goalkeeper of Magnific holds the ball.

He throws the ball to Jamie. Jamie runs. Jamie runs. Jamie passes the ball to Arta. Arta hits the ball.

Three to zero. This is amazing. Magnific plays very well today. Magnific beats Sunland. This was a great match.

Spectators cheer and sing songs. Magnific, Magnific. The players are terrific. Magnific, Magnific. They are fantastic.

Mr. Runner and Mr. Ruler run towards the players. They take out their gas masks and hold the football cup.

They are all very happy. Television reporters come near them.

You won the International Football Cup. How do you feel?

We are very excited and happy. How will you celebrate your success?

We will plant a tree. What? Plan a tree? Here? On this football court?

Yes. We didn't play this game to win. We played it because there are lots of environmental problems in the world, and we want to warn people.

Those new rules threaten the balance of nature. We don't want to wear gas masks. We don't want humans to become extinct.

So we wear these t -shirts with slogans. Also, we will plant a seed near the football court. It will grow and people will see it in every match.

They will always remember they should protect nature. We live on this planet and we are responsible for protecting it.

D. The team of Magnific plants the seeds. Match the sentences below with the pictures.

The spectators applaud. Everyone looks very happy and excited. At that moment, Arda sees his father.

Dad, I miss you so much.

But his father doesn't smile. He looks angry.

I came to take you home, Arda. Your teachers called me last week. Did you really start a fire at the bookshop?

The principal stops him.

Oh, Mr. Yulmas. It's okay. Don't be so angry. We controlled the fire in a very short time.

And maybe he didn't do it. We aren't sure.

Here's my son. I know him very well. He is very naughty. He always causes trouble.

Was there a fire at school last week? I'm sure it was Arda's fault.

No, it wasn't my fault. Who did it? Aliens?

Well, yes. That's it. You don't go back to school. I'm taking you back home.

Arda is naughty, but he has got a big heart. We want him in our school.

Please, sir, think again. Arda makes mistakes, but he is a child. Think about his future.

Look, he scored two goals in this match. We should give him a chance.

I'm his father, and I say no. Come on, Arda. We are going home. But Dad!

I don't want to hear one more word. Let's go. Say goodbye to your teachers and friends.

It's the end of your education and Magnific.

Arda starts crying. Everyone looks very sad. But Arda's father looks serious.

Arda hugs his friends and says goodbye to them. Their teachers walk after them.

Mr. Yulmas, please, think again.

But Arda's father stops them.

Don't follow us. We are leaving.

He holds Arda's arm and pulls him.

No, Dad, please. I didn't do anything.

But his father doesn't listen. They get out of the stadium and turn the corner. Suddenly, Arda's father looks at Arda's face.

He smiles. His face starts changing. His skin color turns red.

You aren't my father. You are enigmatic. You changed your appearance.

Enigmatic takes out the remote control of the teleportation machine and pushes the button. Now they are at the beach on Magnific.

What are you doing? Why are you doing all these?

Enigmatic smiles.

E. Fill in the blanks with the words in the boxes.

I changed my appearance and looked like world leaders. I changed all the environmental rules on Earth. Look at how things changed in a week.

People wear gas masks because of air pollution. People don't use renewable energy sources.

Factories throw their waste into rivers, lakes, and oceans. It causes water pollution.

The temperatures are rising. Polar ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising, too.

Also, people cut down trees and rainforests disappear. Levels of greenhouse gases increase.

The greenhouse effect causes global warming. The climate is changing.

All animals and humans will become extinct soon.

It's time for me to leave. I will go back to Messier 87 and report the information about the Earth to my alien friends.

Later, I will come back with an army of aliens. We will take all the natural resources on Earth, and we will destroy it.

Arta feels very angry.

I will tell everyone about your terrible plans.

You can't because you are coming with me. We will do experiments on you in Messier 87. We will learn more about humans.

Arta looks scared. He tries to run, but enigmatic holds him.

Help! Help me! An alien is kidnapping me.

Arta shouts, but no one hears him.

Enigmatic pushes the button of his remote control. His space shuttle appears over the ocean.

Enigmatic walks on the water. Arta tries to escape, but he can't.

Enigmatic stands under the space shuttle. The lights of the space shuttle fall on them.

Now they are flying up to the space shuttle.

At that moment, Arta punches the alien's hand, and the remote control falls into the ocean.

What did you do?

Arta punches its stomach, too. A journal falls out of its pocket.

You silly kid.

They go up and up. Finally, they get into the space shuttle.

Anyway, I don't need the remote control of my teleportation machine. I am in the space shuttle now. I can control it from here.

We are leaving. Say goodbye to your planet. You will never see it again.

Enigmatic ties Arta's hand with a chain. It locks the chain and hangs the key up to the ceiling.

Arta looks out of the window. The space shuttle flies. Arta looks at the Earth's beautiful blue oceans and green forests.

Goodbye, my wonderful planet. Goodbye.
