Story Transcript:

Tr: Emir, sabah güneşinin bahçede parıldadığı güzel bir yaz gününde, yeni evlerinde pencereden dışarı baktı.
En: Emir looked out of the window of their new house on a beautiful summer day when the morning sun shimmered in the garden.

Tr: Ailesi, bu kapalı siteye yeni taşınmıştı.
En: His family had just moved to this gated community.

Tr: Etraf, rengarenk çiçeklerle dolu, ağaçlar gölge yapıyordu.
En: The surroundings were filled with colorful flowers, and trees cast shadows.

Tr: Her yer sessiz ve düzenliydi.
En: Everything was quiet and orderly.

Tr: Ama Emir’in kalbi hızlı atıyordu.
En: But Emir's heart was beating fast.

Tr: Bugün yeni okuluna başlayacaktı ve çok heyecanlıydı.
En: He was starting at his new school today and was very excited.

Tr: Okula vardığında, modern bina karşısında durdu.
En: When he arrived at the school, he stood in front of the modern building.

Tr: Öğrenciler etrafta koşturuyor, enerji dolu kahkahalar yankılanıyordu.
En: Students were running around, filled with energetic laughter echoing around.

Tr: Emir, biraz geride durup bu yeni dünyayı gözlemledi.
En: Emir stood back a little, observing this new world.

Tr: Ancak korkuları onu sıkıştırıyordu.
En: Yet, his fears were closing in on him.

Tr: Arkadaş edinebilir miydi?
En: Could he make friends?

Tr: Ya reddedilirse?
En: What if he was rejected?

Tr: Zil çaldı ve Emir sınıfa doğru yavaş adımlarla ilerledi.
En: The bell rang, and Emir walked slowly towards the classroom.

Tr: Sınıfın girişinde bir an durdu.
En: He paused for a moment at the entrance of the classroom.

Tr: İçeri adımını atar atmaz bir kız ona doğru döndü.
En: As soon as he stepped inside, a girl turned towards him.

Tr: Saçları omuzlarında dalgalanan, güler yüzlü Zeynep ona hafifçe gülümsedi ve Emir’in kalbindeki korkular bir nebze dağıldı.
En: Her name was Zeynep, with wavy hair cascading over her shoulders, and she gave him a gentle smile.

Tr: Emir’in kalbindeki korkular bir nebze dağıldı.
En: The fears in Emir's heart began to dissipate a bit.

Tr: Öğle yemeği saati geldiğinde, Emir yemek tepsisini aldı ve Zeynep'i gözledi.
En: When lunchtime came, Emir took his lunch tray and watched Zeynep.

Tr: O, yemekhane masasının bir köşesinde, etrafındaki arkadaşlarıyla sohbet ediyordu.
En: She was sitting at a corner of the cafeteria table, chatting with her friends around.

Tr: Emir derin bir nefes aldı, tepsisini dikkatlice taşıyarak masaya doğru ilerledi.
En: Emir took a deep breath and carefully carried his tray toward the table.

Tr: Kalbinde, “Belki benimle konuşur,” diye düşünüyordu.
En: He thought to himself, "Maybe she'll talk to me."

Tr: “Merhaba, oturabilir miyim?” dedi Emir, alçak bir sesle.
En: "Hi, can I sit here?" Emir asked in a low voice.

Tr: Zeynep başını kaldırıp ona baktı, “Tabii, oturabilirsin!” dedi neşeyle.
En: Zeynep looked up at him, "Of course, you can sit!" she said cheerfully.

Tr: Emir’in yüzüne sıcak bir gülümseme yayıldı.
En: A warm smile spread across Emir's face.

Tr: Konuşmaları doğal bir şekilde aktı.
En: Their conversation flowed naturally.

Tr: Emir, sevdiği bilgisayar oyunlarından ve hafta sonları ailesiyle yaptıkları yürüyüşlerden bahsetti.
En: Emir talked about the computer games he loved and the walks he took with his family on weekends.

Tr: Zeynep de doğa yürüyüşlerini sevdiğini ve yeni bir bilgisayar oyunu denemek istediğini anlattı.
En: Zeynep shared that she loved nature walks and wanted to try a new computer game.

Tr: Ortak noktalar buldukça Emir’in tüm tedirginliği yok olmaya başladı.
En: As they found common ground, all of Emir's anxiety began to fade away.

Tr: Öğleden sonra dersleri hızlıca geçti.
En: The afternoon classes passed quickly.

Tr: Okul çıkışında, Zeynep Emir’e döndü, “Bugün parka gidelim mi? Biraz daha sohbet edelim.”
En: After school, Zeynep turned to Emir, "Shall we go to the park today? Let's chat some more."

Tr: Emir, bu teklifle sevinçle doldu.
En: Emir was filled with joy at this suggestion.

Tr: “Tabii, çok güzel olur!” dedi.
En: "Sure, that would be great!" he said.

Tr: Onlar, birlikte sitenin park yolunda yürürken Emir fark etti ki, yeni hayatınd
