No place to go Since the Syrian conflict began in March 2011, official figures show that Turkey has taken in more than 100,000 refugees. The Turkish government in Ankara is nervous about the effects of having so many Syrian refugees on its soil. Questions: What is a conflict? Why would a country be nervous about having many refugees on its soil? Has there ever been a disaster/event in your country in which there were many refugees? Where did they go? How were they treated? But the local Turkish authorities in Ceylanpinar see things differently. This region is mostly Kurdish on both sides of the border. The Kurdish-speaking authorities here are keen to provide help for refugees who speak the same language, and share the same culture.

Do the authorities in Ankara and the authorities in Ceylanpinar and Ankara feel the same way about the refugees? Do the refugees from Syria and the people Ceylanpinar have a similar or different culture?

A municipal building in Ceylanpinar normally used as a condolence hall has become a canteen and a hotel. Volunteers serve dozens of refugee families a lunch of bread, rice, yogurt and chicken. What does it mean when the author writes the condolence hall has become a canteen for the refugees? Is this common English?

The children have to make their way through adult-size portions. On a bench in the main hall, there is a bag of second-hand clothes for those who have left everything behind. Who or what are those in the sentence, One a bench in the main hall, there is a bag of second hand clothes for THOSE who have left everything behind? Have you ever donated money/time/goods to people in need? Why did you do that? In your opinion, can we trust must charities? Why or why not?

In the courtyard, a middle-aged volunteer wearing a suit takes his place in a circle of children playing a game. Another volunteer, Ali Kirdar, sits on a bench and rolls a cigarette. He spends his time finding newly escaped refugees and bringing them to the hall. "Many of the refugees have no place to go," he says. "So you can find them in nearby parks with their belongings at their feet. They just sit and stare ahead. You can tell that they don't know anyone and that they need help." Do you think most refugees have friends and family in the city? Have you ever moved to a country or city where you didnt know anyone? How did you adapt to the new situation?
