ROYAL ENGLISH TEST GROUP:

SCHOOL STARTER 3 TEACHER: A. TRABELSI

Text

Hello, my name’s Ahmet and I live in Istanbul. It’s a beautiful city in Turkey. My
daily routine is simple. I wake up early in the morning and perform my morning
prayer. Then, I have a delicious breakfast with my family, we often have bread,
cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, butter, honey, jam, eggs, and tea. After that, I
go to school, where I study different subjects like math, science, Turkish, and English.
In the evening, I usually play football with my friends in the park. Then, I return
home, have dinner with my family, and before going to bed, I like to read a book or
listen to a podcast to improve my English.
I am currently reading a book about the life of the Prophet Muhammad. It's a long
book that tells his story and what he taught. I find it interesting to learn about his
wisdom and kindness. I am also taking classes to learn Arabic, the language of the
Quran. It's a bit difficult, but I'm getting better every day.
When I grow up Insha’Allah, I am going to be a pilot, I am going to fly airplanes. I
am also going to visit Mecca, and I would love to take my parents there too. One
day, I will be successful and I’m going to help all my family and community.
