The grade-9 habit 🌟

For the top marks, keep **two groups of words** clear and linked, and spell the **special letters** correctly. First, the **jobs** - who someone is: doktor (doctor), öğretmen (teacher), hemşire (nurse), şoför (driver). Second, the **workplaces** - where they work: hastane (hospital), okul (school), ofis (office). Get the ç, ğ, ı, ö, ş and ü right, and you will recognise and spell them correctly in the exam.
