the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places
in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (铺设). We drove for 12 days along the
Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers to be very polite and well
educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult, so we picnicked almost every
day.
The following day after our arrival was Turkey"s Children"s Day, started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Ataturk loved children and he often said:"Children are a new beginning of tomorrow." He even dedicated (奉
献) the day 23rd of April to the children which today is celebrated as Children"s Day as well as the date when
the Republic of Turkey was founded.
On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be
the president of Turkey for a whole day. He can decide what"s going to happen and whether or not he is going
to have the president next to him. There are a very large number of possibilities of things he can do but some
shops aren"t open because they are celebrating the day as well.
All in all, it was a more enjoyable trip. I would recommend (推荐) a trip to Turkey to anyone with an
adventurous (冒险的) spirit!

C. the streets in Turkey were dangerous
D. there were many mountainous roads
