PAMUKALLE

Pamukkale is one of the marvel at the beauty of the springs in remote region of western.
Turkey on a bright sunny day will find the sight quite dazzling – rather like looking at an ice
fall on a glacier. The area has been popular for many centuries, but the springs and the tufa
must have been here for very much longer. The medicinal and therapeutic properties of some
mineral waters have been recognized since ancient times, and the Romans built the thermal
resort of Hierapolis around the spring here. The Roman resort has not survived the ravages of
time as successfully as the tufa, although the ruins can still be seen, but there is now a modern
tourist spa resort built on the same site.
The waters of a geothermal area are invariably rich dissolved mineral salts, but the
composition of the salts varies from place to place depending on the composition of the
underlying rocks through which the waters flow.
Derived from Natural Wonders of the World page 8 {N WW] Barnes New York

1. Where is Pamukkale located ?
2. What does “dazzling” mean ?
3. What does its mineral waters need for ?
4. What time on thermal resort is used ?

RAINBOWS

Another atmospheric wonder of the world is the rainbow. Rainbows are common: it
requires only the right combination of the sun and rain for one to appear, yet rainbows have a
special place in many of the world’s cultures.
A rainbow is the refraction of sunlight or raindrops. The larger the raindrops, the more
brilliant are the colors in the rainbow. Sometime, when a rainbow is particularly bright, a
paler, secondary bow with the colors reversed, can appear behind it. If someone watching the
rainbow moves, the light will be refracted through different raindrops. The sun, always behind
the watcher, will light up constantly changing raindrops as the watcher moves forward, until
there is no more rain left to refract and the rainbow fades.
Derived from Natural Wonders of the World page 8 {N WW] Barnes New York

1. When will the rainbows visible?

WORK AND CAREERS

Sometimes we say that someone we know is a square peg in a round hole. This
simple statement means that the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is
doing. He may be a bookkeeper who really wants to be an actor or a mechanic who likes
cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world are square peg. They are not doing for
one reason or another. As a result, they probably are not doing a very good job and certainly
they are not happy. Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part
of our lives at our jobs. For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how
we can use them. We can do this through aptitude test, interviews with specialists, and study
books in our field or interest. There are many careers open to each of us, perhaps we like
science. Then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists, or biologists. Maybe
our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel
management or public relations. Many persons find their place in government service like
teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering-these many other fields offer fascinating
careers to persons with talent and training.

These career women, however, have to face conflicts in their attempt to balance
between their career outside the house and the family problems. They have to fairly divide
their time between family, business and career. They have to cope up with their times and
their offices. They have to live with the anxieties about child care. They have problems how
to be successful in the career and in the family.
Another problem with working parents is how to keep harmony in the family.
This is usually felt when the whole family gather within the limited time during the week.
Can the children be open of their daily problems with their parents so that the whole family
can discuss them to find the way out? Stray boys and girls are usually rebellious in the family
and are not honest with their parents. In such a situation, the mother will usually regret her
taking the job for family economy.
The really successful career woman is one who can still bring success to the
children despite her activities outside the family. Can all career woman be that wise? See
around and you will be able to judge for yourself.
Derived from American Education, page 25

THANKSGIVING DAY

When the first Englishmen settled in New England in 1620, their first year was full of
hardships. Many of them died because the winter was much colder than what they were used
to. Although they suffered greatly, they worked hard to build their houses and plant a few
crops. These people believed in the power of God and prayed that He would lead them softly
through their hardships in the new country.
When they harvested the first crops they were greatly surprised because they had not
expected a very good harvest. Now they had plenty of good to eat and everybody was happy.
They had enough food for the next winter. Because of that the government proclaimed a day
of thanksgiving to God for having led them safely through their difficult first year.
They sent four men to the woods to find animals for the thanksgiving/east. They
returned with a large number of animals, most of which were turkeys. The fast lasted almost a
week. A large number of friendly natives were invited to the thanksgiving feast.
By this time the small groups of Englishmen were beginning to think that they were
used to the weather of the new country. But suddenly in May 1623 it stopped raining. The
crops were almost destroyed. The governor then appointed a day in the middle of July for
25

fasting and prayer. It seemed that their prayers were not in vain, since soon after they had

thanksgiving was proclaimed and a feast was given. Since the first thanksgiving feast it has
become a tradition among Americans to always have turkey for their thanksgiving dinner.

A. READING
THE VISITING TEACHER
The visiting teacher was started by the lesson. She was surprised because the
teaching methods were very different from the ways of teaching in her own country. A
children’s art lesson in her owns country produced a room full of unique pictures, each one
completely different from the others. Why? What causes this difference in educational
methods? In a classroom in any country, the instructor teaches more than art of history or
language. He or she also teaches culture (the ideas and beliefs that society). Each
educational system is a mirror that reflects the culture of the society.
In a western society such as United States or Canada, which has many national,
religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualism – the differences
among people – and independent thinking. Teachers place a lot of importance on the
qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show
these values. Students do not often memorize information. Instead, they work individually
and find answer themselves; and they express their ideas in class discussion. At an early age,
students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history,
and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of Asia reflects
society’s belief in group goals and traditions rather than individualism. Children in China,
Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the
classroom. The teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the
students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or
Information that they have memorized.
The advantage of educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that
students learn to think for themselves. They learn to take the initiative – to make a decision
and take action without someone telling them what to do. The system prepares them for a
31   31

A. READING
HEAT
We derive heat from the sun, but we do not fully understand the way in which it
comes. We think that it is transferred by electro-magnetic waves, but we cannot see them. The
heat rays from the sun do not heat space. Although they through it. We know this because
space remains cold, although the rays warm the air and all other objects they touch. All
objects reflects some of the rays and absorb some of the rays. A polished surface reflects more
radiated heat than a dull surface. A dull surface absorbs more radiated heat than a polished
surface. We say that the sun radiates heat, and we call this method of heating heat transfer by
radiation.
