PW. Listen to the dialogue and act it out.

Aydan: Where were you yesterday?
Shahin: We went to the Shagan orphanage. There was a birthday party.
Aydan: Oh, really? Whose birthday was it there?
Shahin: It was Gunay’s birthday.
Aydan: What did you buy for her?
Shahin: It was very difficult for us to choose a present.
Aydan: I think, life is a bit different for the children who live here.
Shahin: Oh, yes. I agree with you. And I think gifts aren’t the main things. They need care and warmth most of all.
Aydan: That’s true. How did you celebrate the birthday?
Shahin: We organized a small party for her. In my opinion it brought a lot of fun to her and her friends. You know, Aydan, we could encourage the children to talk about their interests, hobbies, wishes. I think they are very talented, capable and energetic. There are dancers singers, painters among them.
Aydan: I’m sure Gunay was pleased with it. She felt very happy.

Read Gunay's thoughts and share your ideas making comments.

Dear friends! I’m grateful to you. Thank you very much! I can’t express my feelings. It was the greatest and the most unforgettable day in my life. I’ve never seen my parents and relatives. I’ve grown up here. We are waiting for them impatiently and we are like their imagined family, a part of their world and unfulfilled desires.

Best wishes, Gunay.

♦ The children who live in an orphanage don’t need only presents, clothes, toys, but also they need care, love and warmth.

♦ The children have only one desire - and it is probably hard to realize - “to have parents ”.
