I went to my favorite restaurant one evening to have supper. I knew the owner very well. __36 _ I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was __37_ that I noticed a man sitting at the corner table __38__ watching in my direction, as if he knew me. The man had a newspaper open __39__him, which he was __40__ to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought the soup, the man was clearly __41_ by the familiar way in which the waiter and I talked to each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well__ 42__ in the restaurant. In the end he got up and went to the kitchen. After a few minutes he came_ 43__ again, paid his bill and left without__ 44__ looking in my direction.

When I finished and was__ 45__ to pay my bill, I called the owner over and __46__him what the man had wanted. The owner at__47_ didn’t want to tell me. I __48__ “Well”, he said “ that man was a detective.” “__49__?” I said, much surprised. “he followed you here because he_ 50__ you were the man he was looking for,” the owner said. “He showed me a photo of the__51__ man. He certainly looked __52__ you! Of course since we know you here. I was able to make him __53 _that he had made a mistake.” “It’s__ 54__ I came to a restaurant where I’m where I’m known,” I said, “otherwise I __55__have been taken to police station!”

I’m Adam Gun from Istanbul, Turkey. I’m in a good school. And at the age of 15, in my first year of high school. I’m a great fan of tennis and cycling. I play tennis twice a week for two hours each time. Sometimes I want to play more, but I just keep playing for hours on end, never getting tired of doing it. This is one of the rare things I love in my life, in addition to cycling.

Like tennis, I find that I’m able to ride for ever and ever. Since Istanbul is made up of large and small hills, it’s a nice challenge to ride my bike every day. Although there aren’t many cycling places in Istanbul, I’m lucky enough to live near the biggest park. It’s downhill from my house to the park and I enjoy cycling up as much as floating down, because it’s challenging.

Now I have been thinking about being a lawyer and following my father’s footsteps, but I just don’t think I’m into it. I have heard people tell me over and over again: If you want to be happy with your life, you need to like and enjoy your job. Well, I’m not sure about the fact that I will enjoy being a lawyer when I grow up. I’m just not the type of person who sits down and studies for hours. So I just need opinions on whether to become a tennis player(hopefully), to become a cyclist(hopefully) or to become a lawyer.
