 İSTİKLÂL MARŞI
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilâl!
Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu celâl?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helâl.
Hakkıdır Hakk’a tapan milletimin istiklâl.
Ben ezelden beridir hür yaşadım, hür yaşarım.
Hangi çılgın bana zincir vuracakmış? Şaşarım!
Kükremiş sel gibiyim, bendimi çiğner, aşarım.
Yırtarım dağları, enginlere sığmam, taşarım.
Garbın âfâkını sarmışsa çelik zırhlı duvar,
Benim iman dolu göğsüm gibi serhaddim var.
Ulusun, korkma! Nasıl böyle bir imanı boğar,
Medeniyyet dediğin tek dişi kalmış canavar?
Arkadaş, yurduma alçakları uğratma sakın;
Siper et gövdeni, dursun bu hayâsızca akın.
Doğacaktır sana va’dettiği günler Hakk’ın;
Kim bilir, belki yarın, belki yarından da yakın.
Bastığın yerleri toprak diyerek geçme, tanı:
Düşün altındaki binlerce kefensiz yatanı.
Sen şehit oğlusun, incitme, yazıktır, atanı:
Verme, dünyaları alsan da bu cennet vatanı.
Kim bu cennet vatanın uğruna olmaz ki feda?
Şüheda fışkıracak toprağı sıksan, şüheda!
Cânı, cânânı, bütün varımı alsın da Huda,
Etmesin tek vatanımdan beni dünyada cüda.
Ruhumun senden İlâhî, şudur ancak emeli:
Değmesin mabedimin göğsüne nâmahrem eli.
Bu ezanlar -ki şehadetleri dinin temeli-
Ebedî yurdumun üstünde benim inlemeli.
O zaman vecd ile bin secde eder -varsa- taşım,
Her cerîhamdan İlâhî, boşanıp kanlı yaşım,
Fışkırır ruh-ı mücerret gibi yerden na’şım;
O zaman yükselerek arşa değer belki başım.
Dalgalan sen de şafaklar gibi ey şanlı hilâl!
Olsun artık dökülen kanlarımın hepsi helâl.
Ebediyyen sana yok, ırkıma yok izmihlâl;
Hakkıdır hür yaşamış bayrağımın hürriyyet;
Hakkıdır Hakk’a tapan milletimin istiklâl!

 GENÇLİĞE HİTABE

Ey Türk gençliği! Birinci vazifen, Türk istiklâlini, Türk Cumhuriye-

tini, ilelebet muhafaza ve müdafaa etmektir.

Mevcudiyetinin ve istikbalinin yegâne temeli budur. Bu temel, senin

en kıymetli hazinendir. İstikbalde dahi, seni bu hazineden mahrum etmek
isteyecek dâhilî ve hâricî bedhahların olacaktır. Bir gün, istiklâl ve cum-
huriyeti müdafaa mecburiyetine düşersen, vazifeye atılmak için, içinde
bulunacağın vaziyetin imkân ve şeraitini düşünmeyeceksin! Bu imkân ve
şerait, çok namüsait bir mahiyette tezahür edebilir. İstiklâl ve cumhu-
riyetine kastedecek düşmanlar, bütün dünyada emsali görülmemiş bir
galibiyetin mümessili olabilirler. Cebren ve hile ile aziz vatanın bütün ka-
leleri zapt edilmiş, bütün tersanelerine girilmiş, bütün orduları dağıtılmış
ve memleketin her köşesi bilfiil işgal edilmiş olabilir. Bütün bu şeraitten
daha elîm ve daha vahim olmak üzere, memleketin dâhilinde iktidara sahip
olanlar gaflet ve dalâlet ve hattâ hıyanet içinde bulunabilirler. Hattâ bu
iktidar sahipleri şahsî menfaatlerini, müstevlîlerin siyasî emelleriyle tevhit
edebilirler. Millet, fakr u zaruret içinde harap ve bîtap düşmüş olabilir.

Ey Türk istikbalinin evlâdı! İşte, bu ahval ve şerait içinde dahi vazi-

fen, Türk istiklâl ve cumhuriyetini kurtarmaktır. Muhtaç olduğun kudret,
damarlarındaki asil kanda mevcuttur.

Dear Holly,
I have got a friend called Mel. We do everything together. We get on
well with each other. I really like her. We’ve got the same hobbies, and we
share our secrets. Mel is really a nice person, and she’s my best friend. In
fact, she is my only friend. But now, she has got a new friend, Sarah. Mel
likes Sarah because they play tennis together after school. I’d like to play
tennis with them, but I can’t play because I’m not good at sports. She always
spends time with her.
I’m worried because I think Mel is going to forget about me. I don’t want
to be selfish, but what can I do?
Please help me.
Jenny

Dear Jenny,
Don’t worry. You just feel a bit jealous. You’re right. Mel is going to
spend a lot of time with her new friend, but she isn’t going to forget her
other friends. This isn’t a problem. In fact, it’s a chance for you to change
your life and make new friends. As you grow up, you’re going to make new
friends with different hobbies and interests.
Good luck!

The Arrow and the Song

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I didn’t know where;
It flew so swiftly that
The eyes couldn’t follow its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,

It went somewhere, I didn’t know where;
Only one person could hear the sound of the song
That person was very keen and strong.

Long, long afterward, in an oak

I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
(Adapted from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem)

Three leading chefs share their secrets with you. We hope the experts’ advice on cooking will be
useful for you, and you can save time in the kitchen.

People have difficulty in boiling eggs

without cracking the shells. The secret
is to bring them to room temperature
before cooking. Try soaking them in hot
water for a few minutes before cooking
if you don’t want to wait.

We serve a lot of meat at the

restaurant, so I can give you this advice.
You shouldn’t put salt on meat before
you grill it . You should add the salt later.
Always turn the meat over halfway
through to grill the other side.
John Hudak is the head chef
of Vanderlyn’s Restaurant
in Kingston. Before you chop onions,
hold them under running water. That
way, you can save yourself from
a lot of tears! Another secret is for
perfect mashed potatoes. Always
mash potatoes when they
are hot!

Millions of people around the world use mobile phones to

mobile keep in touch with their friends and family, and there is an 80%
phone chance you’ve got a mobile phone in your pocket or bag. How
does a mobile phone network work?
A mobile phone is actually a sophisticated radio. It uses radio
waves to communicate, like a walkie-talkie. Only one person
can talk with a walkie-talkie because it uses one channel and
one frequency. The mobile phone uses two frequencies, one for
talking and one for listening, and two people can talk at the same
time.
When your mobile phone is on, the phone communicates to a
base station. There are usually hundreds of base stations in cities
all over the world. Sometimes telephone companies disguise their
base stations, so you don’t notice them. Each base station is at the
centre of a cell. All the calls and messages in that area go to the
user cell’s base station. A special base station controller transmits the
call. Controllers can take a certain number of calls at the same
time, so if a lot of people call, some of them may not be able to
get through. This doesn’t happen very often.

good fun, important for everything, not as good as books.

THE INTERNET
-Good for learning, or just for fun?
Most of us use the Internet now, but what for? What are our Internet
habits? We talked to three teenagers to find out.

Jeremy: 15, Leeds Sibel: 13, İzmir Adrian: 14, Ottowa

W e’ve got computers at

school, of course, and
we have got IT lessons. I enjoy
learning some of the software.
We also use the Internet. There
are some brilliant programs
for drawing and designing,
but I don’t like games or chat
rooms. So, I don’t use the
Internet for fun. I hate looking
for information on the Net. It’s
really boring, and not as quick
and easy as reading books. We
also don’t have the Internet
access at our house. So, I read
books in the evenings.
I think the Internet is
important in our lives. I use
the Internet for all kinds of
things; homework, projects,
chats, emailing people, playing
games, everything. We have
got one computer at home, and
everyone in my family uses it.
But I have got a smart phone
and I can use the Internet. So, don’t have enough time now
I always have the Internet. I
don’t read books a lot because
you can learn so much more
on the Net. However, my mum
doesn’t want me to use the
Internet a lot.
I think the Internet’s amazing
and I use my computer for
the Internet. I usually chat.
I’d like to design my own
website. I’d like to put video
shows, links to sports pages
and chat rooms for teenagers
on it. I’m sure it’ll be fun.
But it’s a lot of work, and I
because of school. In the
future, I’ll definitely do it.
Without the Internet, our lives
would be boring.

5 Read the text. Answer the questions.

A Social Networking Site and Me
1st April: I think I am a social networking site addict. I log on to it every
day to chat to my friends-real friends, and loads of online friends. I
sometimes have several conversations going on at the same time. I upload
photos and update my profile all the time. But recently, I’ve started to feel
worried if I am offline for more than a few hours. Last weekend, I forgot
to meet a real friend because I was online. I thought I had a problem. So,
I’ve decided to give it up for a while.
15th April: It was really hard. My friends wanted to learn the reason for
it. The first few evenings, I always wondered my online friends: “What
Barry’s Blog are they chatting about?” I even called a friend to learn. But three days
later, it wasn’t so bad. I actually concentrated on my homework better
and I watched my favourite TV programmes. I spoke to my friends at
school. At the end of the first week, I reactivated my account. I think
social networking sites are fun, and they’re useful for posting messages to
friends. But I don’t think I’ll spend so much time on the social networking
sites in the future.

2) What activities does he do on the social networking site? ...............................................................

Hot air balloons and parachutes are equipment for sky sports, but they are different. Hot
air balloons can carry more people than parachutes. You float in the air with the balloons, but
parachutes are for slowing down the speed while falling. You need a burning gas for hot air
balloons, but you don’t need it for parachutes.

Kayak: for one person, double-sided paddle, warmer, closed with a hole, more difficult to
get inside
Canoe: more than one person, one-sided paddle, open, easier to get in and out, more tiring

1 Which tourist attractions do you know in Turkey? Share in class.

Are you planning your next trip? Then why don’t you visit Turkey? Turkey offers something for
everybody with its history, heritage and culture, gorgeous beaches and lots of other things.

1. Hagia Sophia It is in İstanbul. It was a

church, and became a mosque in the 15th century
in the Ottoman Empire. In 1935, it became a
museum and is now one of the top attractions
in Turkey.

2. Göreme Fairy Chimneys They are in Cappadocia.

Cappadocia is famous for its natural rock formations and unique
historical heritage. You must take balloon tours there. Cappadocia
is also a good place to go horse riding and hiking. Stay in cave
hotels there, all-inclusive or just bed and breakfast.

3. Library of Celsus It is in Ephesus. The ruins of Ephesus are

a popular tourist attraction on the west coast. The City of Ephesus
was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

4. Ölüdeniz Ölüdeniz is a small village on the southwest coast

on the Aegean Sea. It’s famous for its shades of turquoise and
remains. It is one of the best places in the world to paraglide because
of its unique panoramic views.

5. Mount Nemrut Nemrut is a 2,134 metre-high mountain in

southeastern Turkey, near the city of Adıyaman. There are heads of
statues: two lions, two eagles and various Greek and Persian gods on
the mountain top. The main attraction is to watch the sunrise.

6. Patara Beach At 14 kilometres, Patara is one of the longest

sandy beaches in the Mediterranean. It is also the ground of
endangered Loggerhead turtles.

a definition of bionics how body parts work science fiction stories

Bionic Parts
It sounds like science fiction, but scientists can replace human body parts with machines. This
idea is a part of science called bionics.
Bionics, in general, is the study of living systems to solve engineering problems. For example,
scientists have studied how the eye works in order to design better cameras. Scientists have studied
how birds fly and improved airplane design. Bionic scientists study the work of body parts and use
this information to design artificial parts.
Bionics is used successfully in the area of artificial limbs. Scientists are replacing clumsy
prosthetic limbs with artificial limbs. Scientists control those limbs electronically. These artificial
limbs behave almost like real ones.
Another amazing development within the field of bionics is the artificial eye. That helps blind
people see. Similarly, artificial ears send sound signals to the brain and hearing-impaired people
regain some of their hearing.
Today, scientists can replace limbs, organs, and even skin by artificial ones. Scientists believe
that, thanks to bionics, they will replace many more parts of the human body one day.

A New Life
Dear Dr. Richardson,
I would just like to thank you for what you did for my son, Brad.
When he lost a leg in a car accident last year, he became very depressed. He was an athlete
and he loved sports, so he was sure that his life was over. We couldn’t do anything that
made him happy.
Then you came along with the incredible advances in prosthetic limbs. Brad’s leg moves
very much like a real leg, and now everything has changed.
Thanks to his new artificial leg, Brad can do many things. Now, he is working hard to
improve his physical skills. In fact, he has decided to study medicine so that he can help
other people the way that you helped him.
Thank you again, and good luck in your research.

then pulled it along the water. These days washing clothes is much
easier, but it wasn’t always that way.
The first washing machines were like huge buckets.

first fully automatic machine was in use. By the 1960s, these
machines were cheaper to buy, and this type of washing
machine sold millions. 3) ...... . The washing machine is an
invention that people cannot do without.

How to Survive an Earthquake

N atural disasters such as fires, floods and avalanches happen every year, somewhere in the
world. Earthquakes are one of them. If you take a course of action, it’s possible to survive
an earthquake.
Before an earthquake, first get professional help to repair electric wires and gas lines. Then fasten
shelves, mirrors and large picture frames to the wall so that you can protect yourself. And of course,
be sure that your house is earthquake-resistant. To protect yourself and your family, it is important to
hold earthquake drills with your family members: Drop, cover and hold on!
During an earthquake, don’t move a lot and go to a nearby safe place slowly. Take cover under a
desk or a table. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms in case
something falls. Stay indoors until the shaking has stopped. After that, you can go out, but don’t use
the elevators because they can be dangerous. If you’re outside, stay there. If you’re in a vehicle, stop
as quickly as possible, but not under or near buildings, trees or bridges.
After an earthquake, be prepared for aftershocks, and be careful with the objects that can fall off
shelves. If you’re in a coastal area, stay away from the beach in case there are possible tsunamis.
