Chapter 3

The mystery of the diary

A few days later

It's activity time

It means fun time

The students are in the garden

They are having so much fun

But Arda and Yasmin

Are sitting in the classroom as a punishment

They are bored

Yasmin goes near the window

She looks outside

Are you happy now?

Why do you ask?

We are sitting in the classroom because of you

That's terrible

It's activity time

Everybody is in the garden

But we are in the classroom

It's so boring

You are a real trouble Arda

And I hate you

Arda is sitting at his desk

He isn't so sad

He doesn't care

What do they do at activity time?

Why is it so much fun?

Students do sports and play different games

Everyone likes that because activity time

is for games and hobbies

What are these games and hobbies?

A

You are Yasmin

Answer Arda's question

Look at the pictures below

and write the names of the activities

Don't be sad Yasmin

You are a very boring person

What are your hobbies?

Studying?

You can't do any fun thing at activity time

Choose the correct picture

for the underlined game hobby

What?

I have lots of hobbies

Really? What are they?

Collecting stamps?

No, I don't like it

No, I dislike hiking

Three

Do you enjoy sculpting?

No, I don't

Four

Is your favorite game tic -tac -toe?

No, of course not

Five

Is your favorite game Chinese whispers?

No, I like that game

but it's not my favorite game

Okay, what are your hobbies?

Six

Well, I like rollerblading

Rollerblading?

Wow, that's great

And I'm very good at table tennis

Seven

Great, do you have a racquet?

Yes, of course

I play table tennis with my racquet

Do you have other hobbies?

Eight

Let me think

I like riding a bike

Do you have a bike?

No, I don't have a bike

My father says it's very expensive

But I want it so much

Oh, so help me find the pirate treasure

We can be rich

And you can buy a bike

I want a bike

I also want to throw a great birthday party

But we can't read the diary

Come here, look at the pages

You are clever

Also, you are good at English

Maybe you can understand it

Yasamin is not sure about it

She sits next to Arda

She looks at the pages carefully

I don't understand this alphabet

The letters look different

At that moment, Tim and Georgia come in

Why are you here?

It's activity time

Is Miss Brown angry with you too?

No, we are here to take off

Friends, sports and games equipment

Can you help us find them Yasamin?

Of course

But there is a problem

We don't have a list

Everyone wants something different

And we can't remember

We need help

See

You are Yasamin

Read about your friends' hobbies

And match them with the right equipment

That's great, thanks Yasamin

You're welcome, Tim

What about you?

What's your favorite sport?

Oh, I'm not very good at sports

But I like playing hide and seek

Arda opens his bag

And takes out a mirror

Here, take it

A mirror?

Well, because you can use it

To play hide and seek

Everyone laughs

That's silly

You don't need a mirror to play hide and seek

It's not silly

Turn your back

Hold this mirror in your hand

Your friends think they hide

But you can see them in the mirror

Later, you find them and you win

Do you want to win that game?

It's very easy

You just need a mirror

Oh, now I know your favorite game, Arda

It's cheating

Tim and Georgia laugh

And they leave the classroom

Arda looks angry

D

Arda and Yasamin continue their dialogue

Fill in the blanks with the words in the box

1

Well, you're wrong, Yasamin

I'm good at many things

For example, I do origami very well

That's a lie

What? I'm good at it

Okay, here is a piece of paper

Show me

Arda looks at the paper

Okay, okay, you're right

I'm not good at it

Oh, don't be sad

Maybe you are good at doing origami

But you are very good at lying

I have some hobbies, but I don't remember them now

2

Okay, do you play marbles?

No, I don't

3

Do you go fishing?

What? Of course not

I can't hurt fish

4

Do you ride a bike?

No, I don't

Because I don't have a bike

See? You don't have a hobby

You are good at lying and cheating

That's all, you are an awful person

You don't know me

At that moment Ms. Brown opens the door

and she comes in

Arda, what's wrong?

Why are you shouting?

Nothing

But Arda looks at Ms. Brown

and he starts crying

Oh, I'm so sad Ms. Brown

Yarsimin is very rude to me

What? No, it's a lie

She thinks I'm an awful person

Why? Because I'm not good at any games or sports

That's rude

Ms. Brown takes the mirror from Arda

and gives it to Yasmin

That's rude Yasmin

Take this mirror

Look in it and ask yourself

Am I good at everything?

Yasmin looks at the mirror

Well, yes, I'm great

This answer makes Ms. Brown more angry

E

You are Yasmin

Ms. Brown is angry with you

and you want to change the topic

Order the words

and ask Ms. Brown questions about her hobbies

What is your favorite game Ms. Brown?

My favorite game is chess

Do you enjoy playing checkers?

Oh, yes, I enjoy it so much

Can you play Keepy Uppy?

No, I can't

It's very hard

But I can dance and sing songs

What about playing Yo -Yo?

No, I'm not good at playing Yo -Yo either

I think it's boring

Are you good at playing darts?

Yes, I love playing darts

It's so much fun

Good job, Ms. Brown isn't angry now

She leaves the classroom

Yasmin looks at Arda

You were awful and I hate you

Arda points at the mirror in her hand

Do you want to see an awful person?

Look in the mirror, Yasmin

Yasmin is angry

She turns the mirror down

At that moment, she sees something

Something great

She points at the mirror

Look Arda, the mirror is on the diary

So what?

Just look at the mirror

The diary isn't in a different language

It's English

But these letters are different

No, they aren't different

They're just reverse

We can read it on the mirror

Arda looks at the mirror and smiles

Wow, it's very exciting

Come on, let's read it

They turn the page

Arda reads it, but he is confused

The diary of the blind man's buff

What is this Yasmin?

Blind man's buff is a game

Yes, you're right

It's the name of a game

But here, it is the nickname of the pirate

Blind man's buff

Why?

Yasmin doesn't know the answer of this question

So, she starts reading
