ATATÜRK’ÜNGENÇLİĞE Hİ TABESİ

Ey Türk gençli ğ i! Birinci vazi fen, Türk istiklâlini, Türk cumhuri yetini, ilele-

bet, muha faza ve müda faa etmektir.

Mevcudi yetinin ve istikbalinin ye gâne temeli budur. Bu te mel, senin, en k ı y-

metli hazinendir. İ stikbalde dahi, seni, bu hazineden, mahrum etmek iste yecek,

dahilî ve haricî, bedhahlar ı n olacakt ı r. Bir gün, is tiklâl ve cumhuri yeti müda-

faa mecburi yetine düşersen, vazi fe ye atı lmak için, içinde bulunaca ğ ı n vazi yetin

imkân ve şeraitini düşünme yeceksin! Bu imkân ve şerait, çok nâmüsait bir mahi-

yette tezahür edebilir. İ stiklâl ve cumhuri yetine kastedecek düş manlar, bütün

dün yada emsali görülmemiş bir galibi yetin mü messili olabilirler. Cebren ve hileile aziz vatan ı n, bü tün ka leleri zapt edilmiş , bütün ter sanelerine girilmiş , bütün

ordular ı da ğ ı t ı lmı ş ve memleketin her köşesi bil fiil iş gal edilmiş olabilir. Bütün

bu şeraitten daha elîm ve daha vahim ol mak üzere, mem leketin dahilinde, iktida-

ra sahip olanlar gaflet ve dalâlet ve hattâ h ı yanet içinde bulunabilirler. Hat tâ bu

iktidar sahipleri şahsî men faatlerini, müstevlilerin si yasî emelleriyle tevhit edebi-

lirler. Mil let, fakr u zaruret içinde harap ve bîtap düş müş olabilir.

Ey Türk istikbalinin evlâdı ! İş te, bu ahval ve şerait içinde dahi, vazi fen; Türkistiklâl ve cumhuri yetini kurtarmakt ı r! Muh taç oldu ğ un kudret, damarlar ı ndaki

asîl kanda, mevcuttur!

He watched her when she stood in front of the shop and read the sign: “No bare feet” Tears started rollingdown her cheeks. She turned and started to walk away. Just then, the big man called her. He sat down on thecurb and took off his size-45 shoes. Next, he set them in front of the girl and said: “I never used to wear shoes

when I was a child, too. Here are my shoes. You cannot walk in these, but if you slide along, you’ll get your icecream cone.” Then, he lifted the little girl up and set her feet into the shoes. He added: “Do not hurry. I’ll justsit here and eat my ice cream.” He saw the shining eyes of the little girl. She slid the shoes slowly and went tothe counter. She wanted her ice cream cone.

He was a big man. He had a big belly, big hands and big shoes, but his heart was bigger than allof them.

Test nxietyTest AnxietyIt is completely normal to experience anxiety at some time. A little

bit of anxiety helps you. It can motivate you and keeps you alert.

But if there is too much anxiety, it means you have “test anxiety”.

The following are tips to stop too much test anxiety:

Develop good study habits: If you know how to study, you will

have con dence and that con dence will help to reduce your test anxiety.

Be prepared: If you know the material on the test very well, you will have con dence. But if you go

into a test unprepared, you will be very anxious.

Don’t try to prepare at the last minute: Study your subjects on time. Use your time freely.

Do exercise: If you do exercise regularly, you have a healthy mind.

Get plenty of sleep: If you don’t have a good rest before an exam, you will feel tired and it will

increase test anxiety.

Get plenty to eat: Don’t take an exam on an empty stomach. If you get a good meal, you’ll experience

less anxiety.

Stay positive: Don’t focus on failing the test.

Stay relaxed: Take slow, deep breaths and stay in control.

It is always unusual to have anxiety.

Too much anxiety can prevent you from remembering things.

Study skills are important for reducing test anxiety.Learn your subjects very well.

If you study your subjects just before the test, you’ll remember them easily.

Physical exercises are not necessary.

A good night’s sleep is important for reducing test anxiety.

Do not eat anything before the exam.

Always remember that there is a risk to fail.

Taking deep breaths makes you relaxed.

I had a very strange dream last night. In my dream, my father and

I were going to our farm. My father was driving our lorry. Suddenlya bright blue light covered our lorry. It was like a huge spotlight from

the sky. We couldn’t see anything. The engine of the lorry stopped

working. Then, the blue light disappeared and things returned to

normal. I was afraid, but I said: “Hey, UFO, I want to see you!”

The blue light covered our lorry again. When the light

cleared, I saw a UFO in the distance. It was a big cigar-

1. Read the story below and choose the missing paragraph in the box on thenext page.

In a small cottage in the countryside, a mother was scold ing her three children. Somebody tookgrandma’s golden pendant and she wanted to know that person. She always hid it carefully in themaster bedroom . The girls, Arielle, Bridgette and Marie were all very quiet. No one wanted to saya word. They didn’t want to upset my mother any further.

The pendant was very important to mother because shewas planning to sell it to a local antique shop to send Arielle

to university very soon. Mother didn’t have enough money

for Arielle’s school fee. However, she suddenly found out

that the pendant was missing. Mother knew her girls were

all good and she thought that perhaps someone just took it

to prevent her from selling it.

Arielle loved her grandma’s pendant and she didn’t

want her mom to sell it, but they didn’t really have a choice.They needed all the money they could have. Arielle couldn’t work because she was studying for the

university entrance exams.

Bridgette also loved the pendant. She thought, “My mother should give that pendant to me

when I graduate from school. It was my present from grandma. I know this.”

Marie felt that the pendant belonged to her. After all, it was grandpa’s gift to grandma and

grandpa loved Marie a lot. It was just right for Marie to have the pendant.

Arielle suddenly shouted: “Mother, isn’t that the handkerchief dad gave you?” Mother was

using it to wipe her tears. Bridgette sighed in relief and said, “Well, now at least we only must worry

about the pendant. Obviously, mum, you wrap ped it in another handkerchief.”

b. Mother started to cry. “It’s not only the pendant. I used to wrap the pendant with a handkerchiefand it was a gift from your father. It was very important for me.” The girls looked at each other.

Their mother became very unhappy after the death of their father. They were quiet for a while. None

of them could speak a word.

c. The girls all agreed that they would sell the pendant. It was very valuable and that money was

very important for the family. While they were walking to the antique shop, no one talked. Arielle

said: “We should tell the jeweller to keep it for us. He mustn’t sell it. We can take it back when we

have money.”

Marie spoke quietly, “Perhaps mum, you didn’t wrap it in a handkerchief at all and placed itinside a box instead?”.

Mother smiled, turned to one of the girls and said regretfully: “Okay, my dear child. Come overhere and tell me. Where is the pendant? I am not going to be angry at all. I know now that you tookit.”

SUCCESS STORIES LIVING SCIENTISTA LIVING SCIENTIST

1. Read the paragraphs below and write their correct order in the parenthesesto make up a meaningful text.

Successful people in history did not care about failure. They kept working. There is only onecommon thing for successful people: They didn’t give up. They had 24 hours just like you andme. They decided to sleep less. Remember, today’s successful people also failed yesterday. So,work hard and do not lose hope in order to be successful.

In all success stories, there are failures, misfortunes and dif culties. Chasing your dream is not

so easy. You fail more than you succeed. You can fail in Science at school, but later you can become a successful scientist. Some of the best economists or doctors wanted to be homemakers.

The web is full of videos and articles about the success stories of great men and women. Butthese success stories sometimes make us feel guilty. Because we watch those videos and think,“Where am I going wrong?”. The answer is “nowhere”. Those successful people also did notknow their right place at the beginning of their journey. They simply met the right people andmade correct choices.

Geologists hoped to nd some metals there because metalstock in the Earth was getting less and less.

There were computer-like machines and screens there. Nelson touched a lever andthree astranouts felt that they were moving away from Jupiter. They went to the door, but it was closed. Theysaw Eagle down as a very little thing.

The spaceship crossed the earth’s solar system. They came together in the corner waiting for death. Thespaceship crossed two more solar systems and landed in the third solar system. There was another lever near thedoor. When they pushed it, the door opened and all three thanked God. They were safe and alive. They left thespaceship. They couldn’t believe their eyes. There were trees, stones, clouds and a sun shining in the sky. Johnremoved his astronaut suit and he could breathe. It was a second earth! They saw some skeletons and thoughtthat there was life there many years ago. They returned to the spaceship. Nelson pushed the rst level and theymoved away from this planet. Their hearts were beating fast. When they looked out of the window, they couldsee the planets, stars, satellites, darkness, light…

They returned to Jupiter safely and left the spaceship. They walked to Eagle. Their friends were waiting forthem. Susan reported the event to the other astronauts and they were all there. They hugged each other happily.Later, they got into their mini-spaceships and began to move towards Peregrinator.

Learning a language is like doing a jigsaw puzzle

of a million pieces with a picture that keeps changing.

It’s like getting lost in a foreign city without a map.

It’s like playing tennis without a ball,

like being an ant in a field of grasshoppers.

It’s being an acrobat with a broken leg,

an actor without a script, a carpenter without a saw,

a storyteller without a middle or an end.But then gradually,

it¹s like being out in the early morning with the mists lifting.

It¹s like a chink of light under a door,

like finding the glove you were looking for,

catching the train you thought you were going to miss,

And then one day, it’s like riding a bicycle

very fast downhill.
