1- Have you heard that the tomb of Suleiman the Magnificent is in a foreign country? Why do you think it is there?
2- Do you think it should be returned to Turkey? Why / Why not?
3- Why is it important to preserve historical monuments in terms of culture?
One of Hungary’s most 1. ………………… areas has cherished with the latest discovery of the tomb of Suleiman the Magnificent, who is considered the greatest Ottoman ruler, as the place is expected to be crowded by curious groups soon.
150-year-long effect of the Ottoman Empire from hamam baths and minarets to battle site memorials and remains of mosques can be found everywhere in Hungary. But, some Hungarians consider them as ruins of a dark period because they think the country’s thriving Renaissance age was 2. ………………… during that time. As a result, up to now, only few of the Ottoman monuments have been valued by Hungarian authorities. Suleiman’s case could change that, however.
In July, experts said that the tomb of the 16th century ruler was discovered during the excavations in the town of Szigetvar. Suleiman died during an epic battle with the mainly Croatian 3. ………………… of Szigetvar Castle that weakened his forces when he was 71. He was well-known for two important features: justice and honesty.
Norbert Pap, head of the team of researchers whose 4. ………………… uncovered the tomb claims that Szigetvar has been a vanishing town so most people have already left for the other big cities, but the tomb of Suleiman can bring in new opportunities and get them from rags to riches.
There are only few hotels in sleepy Szigetvar, which has a population of 10,000. Nevertheless, Pap believes that the town will be a touristic attraction in the long term. He also adds that Suleiman is a national icon in Turkey, and as it is easier to get to Szigetvar from both Europe and Turkey, it is likely for the Turkish tourists to come to see the tomb.
The municipality has already announced the plans to build better hotels close to the castle where you can see the history. Pap’s team still searches for Suleiman’s heart which was believed to be buried in a golden urn. Next week, DNA samples of five Turkish 5. ………………… of Ottoman princesses will be taken to be matched with the samples from the tomb area.
Turkish ambassador in Budapest Şakir Fakili also says that Hungary and Turkey have shared cultural heritage so they have much in common. He adds that there are many Turks who are wealthy and can 6. ………………… to travel to Szigetvar for their ancestors.

Nicole: Hello, my dear teacher and friends. I’m gonna read you my essay about my best friend, Janet. I hope you like it. I met Janet when we were only 8 years old. She moved to Turkey from England with her parents 9 years ago and has been living here since then. Janet and I have never been separated. We always went to the same school and we still live in the same neighborhood. Our friendship keeps getting stronger day by day. So, who’s this girl that I call my best friend? First of all, she is tall with red hair and brown eyes. Her hair is long and wavy. She has dimples that make her smile really beautiful. She also has freckles on her cheeks and nose, which she doesn’t like, but I think they make her beautiful. What is more beautiful than her freckles is her personality. She is friendly, helpful, and always fun to be around. She knows how to stand by her friends and help them in any way she can. She is the shoulder you cry on. One time, Janet and I were walking home from school and someone shouted behind us. She looked back and saw it was one of our classmates who fell down and hurt her ankle. Janet ran to her and helped her all the way home. Another time at school, our teacher asked us to find the student who is the most easygoing and everyone pointed their fingers at Janet. She is loved by everyone. For example, Mr. Richardson, our Physics teacher, is a very serious man, but even he laughs at Janet’s jokes. Janet is also a very talented person. She plays the guitar and sings at the school choir. She also likes swimming at weekends. We always go swimming in our local pool on Sundays. In the future, she wants to be a doctor and help everyone who needs help. And of course, she wants to live close to me because it’s our dream to stay best friends forever.
