30th of April 1811. Hi. My name is Edward. I'm 14 years old and I'm from England. My

family is very rich. We live in a castle. I get up early every day. I calm my hair

and I have breakfast. Then I go to school. I have nine classes a day, so I have

lunch at school. After school I come home. I do my homework. After that my

piano teacher comes and I play the piano. Next I have dinner. My nanny tells me

bedtime stories every night. Then I go to bed. My cousin's name is Daniel. He is

14 years old too. Daniel's father, my uncle, is from England, but his mother is

from Australia. Normally they live in Australia, but this year Daniel is staying

with us in England. He doesn't calm his hair. I think he looks terrible. He goes

to a different school. They have four lessons every day so he wakes up late. He

doesn't make his bed. His school finishes early. He has lunch at home. His

teacher doesn't give him any homework. He doesn't take piano lessons. After school

he plays marbles and other games with his friends. At night he has dinner with us

and then he goes to bed. Yes, he is my cousin. Yes, we live together but our

lives are different. A. Does Arda understand the diary? Are his sentences true or false?

A. Isn't it a pirate's diary? It talks about a silly boy's life. Who is Edward? I

want to read about the pirate. Blind man's buff. Let's read and understand. She

continues reading. 2nd of April 1812. These are Daniel's last days in England. He

plans to go back to Australia soon. He says to me, come with me. You can stay

with us in Australia. There are many interesting things there. My father gives

me permission to go. Australia is very far and I'm worried but I want to see

this country too. 3rd of May 1812. Daniel and I are on a ship to Australia.

There is a pirate ship next to our ship. I'm scared. Yasamin stops reading again.

Look! This diary is very old. Some letters and words are missing on this page. Can't you

write them there? I think I can. Let's start. B. You are Yasamin. Fill in the blanks in

the diary. 3rd of June 1812. We live with pirates now. My life is awful. I get out

of bed early every day. I don't have breakfast. I don't have a shower. I don't

wash my hands or face. I don't calm my hair. I don't go to school. I clean the

captain's room in the morning. Later I have lunch. But I only have some bread and

water. After lunch I go fishing. But I give all the fish to the captain. I can eat only

one fish for dinner. I go to bed early. I feel tired. Daniel is lucky because the

pirates love him very much. He gets up late and he has a great breakfast with the

pirates. After breakfast he teaches them different games. These games are Chinese

whispers, hangmen, hopscotch, tag and blind men's buff. The pirates enjoy these

games so they are very nice to Daniel. After lunch he sings songs with the

pirates. At night he has dinner and he goes to bed. Wow! Now it's exciting.

Continue reading. Fifth of July 1812. The captain says pirates are funny but they

are all so scary Edwards. You aren't scary. You aren't funny. You can't be a

pirate. So clean my room, go fishing and be quiet. But I have a plan. I can change

my daily routine. 22nd of July 1812. My life is different now. Every morning I get

up at 7 o 'clock. I get dressed. I wear my pirate hat and I put a piece of cloth on

my left eye. I think it looks scary. So I wear it. Pirates think it looks scary too.

But they know I'm not blind and they think it's funny too. Now I'm scary and funny.

I'm a pirate like them and I have a pirate nickname blind man's buff. I have a nice

breakfast every morning at half past eight. I eat an omelet and some toast. I don't

clean the captain's room anymore. I leave the pirate ship and go fishing on a

little boat at quarter past ten. I come back to the ship at two o 'clock and I

have lunch at quarter to three. I play games with the other pirates at half

past five. I have dinner at eight o 'clock and I go to bed at ten o 'clock. Well my

life isn't bad at all but I miss my family. I have a plan to escape. Arda stops

Yasamin again. You read so fast. I don't understand. You know I'm not good at

English. I can't read it again. I'm tired. Ask me and I answer. C. You are Yasamin.

Answer Arda's questions about Edward. Yasamin answers Arda's questions but then

she stops. Why do you ask all these questions? What time does he get up? Why is

it important? Arda points at the diary. Look the time is underlined. The pirate

underlined the times. I think it is important. Yasamin looks at the text again.

Yes. Maybe it is important. Yasamin continues reading. 25th of July 1813.

Hooray! I'm free. Daniel is free too. We are going back to England. We have a

ship and we also have the pirate's treasure but there is a problem. Daniel

doesn't want the treasure. He says the pirates say the treasure is cursed. We can't

take it Edward. I think this is silly but Daniel is scared. He has a plan. He wants

to hide the treasure on an island. This island is in the middle of the Indian

ocean. No one lives there. He wants to put it in a cave on the beach. 26th of July

1813. We are on the island now. Edward is worried. He says we can't put it here

like this. Someone can find it. The curse can hurt them. He wants to put traps and

riddles in the cave. You, reader of this diary, I warn you. Don't look for that

treasure. It can be cursed. You don't care and you want that treasure? So go to

the cave. Find the rock -shaped clock. Password 1. Underline with red in this

diary. Password 2. 30. 2. 5. 12. 81. 18. 25. Hooray! Come on. Let's go to the cave.

What about the curse? The curse? This is silly.

Arda leaves the classroom. Yasmin thinks for a few seconds. She remembers her dream

birthday party. She remembers Mad Bike. Wait! I am coming. They walk to the beach

together. What do you think about Edward's life? His daily routine changes a lot.

I think it is very bad. I have a regular daily routine and I don't change it.

Really? Tell me about it. D. You are Yasmin. Look at the chart about your daily routine

and answer Arda's questions. What time do you get up? I get up at eight o 'clock. What

time do you go online at eight o 'clock? Yes, I do. What time do you talk to your

parents? I talk to my parents at half past eight. When do you watch TV? I watch TV in the

evening. Wow! You really have a regular daily routine. This is boring. Boring? Yes, I

hate daily routines. What? Everyone has a daily routine Arda. I don't. E. Yasmin asks

questions to Arda about his daily routine. He answers them. Match Yasmin's questions

with Arda's answers. When do you get up? I get up late. What do you do in the mornings?

I take a shower, brush my teeth and I have breakfast. What time do you go to school? School

starts at nine o 'clock but I don't go to school at nine o 'clock. I'm always late. What

do you do after school? The teacher gives us too much homework but I don't do my homework.

I go out. Well, I give food to cats and dogs on the streets. What time do you go to bed?

I go to bed at eleven o 'clock. See? You have a daily routine too. Well, it's not a very

good one but you have a routine. Don't be silly. Everyone brushes their teeth in the

morning. It's not a daily routine. Yes, it is. No, it isn't. They stop talking. They

do. I feed my pets and the animals on the streets every day. Yasmin doesn't believe

him. That's very nice of you, Arda. But you are an awful person so I think it's a lie.

You don't know me, Yasmin. They go past the rocks and they enter the cave. They go straight

ahead. At the end of the cave they see a big rock. Its shape is interesting. It's like a

clock. Oh, here is the rock -shaped clock. Give me the diary. F. Look at the red underlined

words in the diary on page fifty. Draw the times on the rock -shaped clocks. They draw the

times. The rock moves and it opens. They walk in and they go straight ahead. At the end

of the cave they see some stones on the floor. There are numbers on the stones. Step on the

right stones. Or what? I don't know. Do you remember the diary? Maybe there was a trap.

Be careful. Only step on the right stones. Don't step on the others. G. Look at password

two in the diary on page fifty -two. Circle the right stones below and find the safe route

for Arda and Yasmin. They step on the right stones. In the end a door opens in the cave. Yasmin can

see a little pond behind the door. There is a pond in the cave. Maybe the treasure is

in the pond. Arda gets very excited. He hurries and steps on a wrong stone. Yasmin, I'm on a

number isn't one of the passwords in the diary. It can be a trap. Arda's scared. Yasmin

tries to save him. She holds his hand and pulls him. At that moment a poisoned needle flies

and hits Yasmin. My arm! She screams and falls down. Oh no. It's a trap. No. Check all your

answers in this chapter. Work on your mistakes. Then go to page 147 and get your award. Cut and

stick it on my treasure page at the back of the book.
