23.2. Neşe YAYLI- Yomra Central Secondary School That day we are all excited as our teacher Mrs.Yaylı and we are going to go to Hagia Sophia, the historical mosque of our city Trabzon. When we nearly arrive there, we see a very cute bird that has many kinds of colours while we are looking at the surroundings attracted by the magnificent mosque. Its murmoring song is very cheerful. It glides near us by flopping its magical seeming wings. The bird is more interesting when it get closer. Then surprisingly, it starts talking with us: -How beautiful this place is! My name is Technobird, I’m a curious traveller. Pleased to meet you all, well, I travel all around Turkey and enjoy knowing its cities better. I am here after the exploration of Boztepe and Atatürk Kiosk. Now, who can give me some information about this place? I can’t wait to hear about it. One of my friends, Selin : -The name of this mosque is Hagia Sophia. After Fatih Sultan Mehmet conquered Istanbul, it was turned into a museum, then a mosque in recent years. It has a very good architecture and attracts many tourists every year. When we look at technobird, we realize that it is deeeply awestricken by our sayings. -We come here for a school trip If you wish, accompany us to accquaint yourself with this beautiful mosque and mysterious Çal Cave. -Of course, I would love to. Then we go to Hagia Sophia Mosque. Technobird is impressed one more time. It uses the three entrances of the mosque with a great interest. It examines the pictures on the wall carefully. The next stop after the mosque is Çal Cave. First Technobird looks around with fear because of the cave’s mystery and darkness then we begin to introduce the cave: -The cave is known as the seond longest cave in the world. There is a small brook running inside of it. As you see, there is a castle above it. We take many photos thanks to the camera on the leg of Technobird. Technobird says that it is a bit hungry. We are too. We go to a restaurant that cooks traditional dish. We ate Kuymak, fried Anchovy, Hamsiköy baked rice pudding , Corn bread, Akçabaat Meatball, black cabbage soup, pilaf with anchovy. Technobird likes all the food but especially Akçaabat meatball. When are satisfied enough Tehnobird said ‘ I hear about the fame of the Long Lake. Everyone says it is worth seeing. So, I want to see it too. Will you bring me there please? ‘ This is a great offer for us and accept it. Our English techer Neşe YAYLI and we start travelling to the Long Lake happily. 99
