In April we read a story about snakes.We talked about being afraid of things and phobias. These are our stories from one time when we were scared.

One day I was in Tekir. It was my birthday. My mother and I were going to buy something. We were drinking a Coke. We saw a snake when we were walking. It was black. I was 9 years old and was afraid. I screamed and went back home. Esgi

First, I'm afraid of the dark. One day, when I was a child, my family went to our neighbors and I was the only person at home. The electricity went off and I was afraid of the dark. I didn't do anything. I sat down on the sofa and waited for my family to come back. Sabriye

One time I was alone at home. I was playing games on the television. A snake must have come into the home, I saw it. I was afraid at first, but my brother came home. I told him and a man came and killed it. Murat

One evening, while I was walking down the street, I heard a sound. I opened my eyes a lot. I was worried because I was thinking that the sounds could be dog's sounds. They could attack me and I was alone on the street! What could I do? The only thing I could do was leave there quickly! After that I don't walk on the streets alone again. Omer

Last week, at 4 in the morning, a burglar entered my neighbor's apartment. I saw the burglar. He has brown hair and looks like a merciless person. He stole my neighbor's jewelry. She didn't see the burglar. At 7 in the morning she called the police. They are searching for the burglar now. Berna

One of my friends is a nurse. My friends and I asked her to our blood. Last week she brought something to take blood. She took blood from one of my best friends. He wasn't afraid  but I was very afraid. When I see blood I pass out. My friends were very sad for me. Gulen

Last year I was in Susanoglu in Mersin. I went swimming with my friends. We went to the beach and to the islands. I felt something very bad. A bee stung my shoulder. I was afraid and frightened. My friends were worried. I went back home and took some asprin. Merve

My phobia is going to the doctor because doctors have needles. I feel bad when I go there. Kubra
