‹ST‹KLÂL MARfiI
Korkma, sönmez bu flafaklarda yüzen al sancak;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin y›ld›z›d›r, parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Bast›¤›n yerleri “toprak!” diyerek geçme, tan›:
Düflün alt›ndaki binlerce kefensiz yatan›.
Sen flehit o¤lusun, incitme, yaz›kt›r, atan›:
Verme, dünyalar› alsan da, bu cennet vatan›.
Çatma, kurban olay›m, çehreni ey nazl› hilâl!
Kahraman ›rk›ma bir gül! Ne bu fliddet, bu celâl?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlar›m›z sonra helâl...
Hakk›d›r, Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklâl!
Kim bu cennet vatan›n u¤runa olmaz ki fedâ?
fiühedâ f›flk›racak topra¤› s›ksan, flühedâ!
Cân›, cânân›, bütün var›m› als›n da Huda,
Etmesin tek vatan›mdan beni dünyada cüdâ.
Ben ezelden beridir hür yaflad›m, hür yaflar›m.
Hangi ç›lg›n bana zincir vuracakm›fl? fiaflar›m!
Kükremifl sel gibiyim, bendimi çi¤ner, aflar›m.
Y›rtar›m da¤lar›, enginlere s›¤mam, taflar›m.
Ruhumun senden, ‹lâhi, fludur ancak emeli:
De¤mesin mabedimin gö¤süne nâmahrem eli.
Bu ezanlar -ki flahadetleri dinin temeliEbedî yurdumun üstünde benim inlemeli.
Garb›n âfâk›n› sarm›flsa çelik z›rhl› duvar,
Benim iman dolu gö¤süm gibi serhaddim var.
Ulusun, korkma! Nas›l böyle bir iman› bo¤ar,
“Medeniyet!” dedi¤in tek difli kalm›fl canavar?
O zaman vecd ile bin secde eder -varsa- tafl›m,
Her cerîhamdan, ‹lâhi, boflan›p kanl› yafl›m,
F›flk›r›r ruh–› mücerred gibi yerden na’fl›m;
O zaman yükselerek arfla de¤er belki bafl›m.
Arkadafl! Yurduma alçaklar› u¤ratma, sak›n.
Siper et gövdeni, dursun bu hayâs›zca ak›n.
Do¤acakt›r sana va’detti¤i günler Hakk’›n...
Kim bilir, belki yar›n, belki yar›ndan da yak›n.
Dalgalan sen de flafaklar gibi ey flanl› hilâl!

ATATÜRK'ÜN GENÇL‹⁄E H‹TABES‹
Ey Türk gençli¤i! Birinci vazifen, Türk istiklâlini, Türk cumhuriyetini,
ilelebet, muhafaza ve müdafaa etmektir.
Mevcudiyetinin ve istikbalinin yegâne temeli budur. Bu temel, senin, en k›ymetli hazinendir. ‹stikbalde dahi, seni, bu hazineden, mahrum etmek isteyecek, dahilî ve haricî, bedhahlar›n olacakt›r. Bir gün,
istiklâl ve cumhuriyeti müdafaa mecburiyetine düflersen, vazifeye at›lmak için, içinde bulunaca¤›n vaziyetin imkân ve fleraitini düflünmeyeceksin! Bu imkân ve flerait, çok nâmüsait bir mahiyette tezahür edebilir. ‹stiklâl ve cumhuriyetine kastedecek düflmanlar, bütün dünyada
emsali görülmemifl bir galibiyetin mümessili olabilirler. Cebren ve hile
ile aziz vatan›n, bütün kaleleri zapt edilmifl, bütün tersanelerine girilmifl, bütün ordular› da¤›t›lm›fl ve memleketin her köflesi bilfiil iflgal
edilmifl olabilir. Bütün bu fleraitten daha elîm ve daha vahim olmak
üzere, memleketin dahilinde, iktidara sahip olanlar gaflet ve dalâlet ve
hattâ h›yanet içinde bulunabilirler. Hattâ bu iktidar sahipleri flahsî
menfaatlerini, müstevlilerin siyasî emelleriyle tevhit edebilirler. Millet,
fakr u zaruret içinde harap ve bîtap düflmüfl olabilir.
Ey Türk istikbalinin evlâd›! ‹flte, bu ahval ve flerait içinde dahi, vazifen; Türk istiklâl ve cumhuriyetini kurtarmakt›r! Muhtaç oldu¤un kudret, damarlar›ndaki asîl kanda, mevcuttur!

Preserving Our
Environment
a. Discuss the following questions in pairs.
• Is water important in our lives? Why?
• How do we use water?
b. Read the text and the sentences below. Fill in the blanks with correct information.
www.waterislife.com
Water is important for people. In rich countries, a person uses 100-150 litres of water every day.
People use tap water wastefully. For example, in England a person wastes 12-20 litres to have a
shower, 5 litres to water houseplants, and 36 litres to flush the toilet.
In Africa, Asia and Latin America, people can’t use water all day. They can only use 5 litres per
day. Women and children carry this water from a well to home, and they often wash the clothes and
water animals at the well.
Water is also important for growing food. Farmers need rain to grow their crops.
People use water for other purposes. They use it to transport goods from one place to another place.
In the past, people carried their goods along rivers and canals on boats or ships.
There would be no life without water.
e.g.
1. A person uses 100 - 150 litres of water per day in rich countries.
2. People can only use ___________ of water per day in poor countries.
3. In rich countries, people use __________ water. So they waste more water.
4. In poor countries, people carry water from ___________.
5. Farmers use water to ______________.
6. People also use water to _______________ from one place to another place.

c. Discuss the following questions in pairs.
• How do people pollute water?
• How does water pollution affect people and living things?
d. Read the information about water pollution. In
groups discuss the following questions and prepare a
poster about your suggestions. Present the poster and
share your suggestions.
• What can we do to keep water clean?
• How can we care for water?
Water pollution and water depletion are big
problems in the world today. In many countries
people do not have enough clean water. Some
families spend half their money to buy water.
Poor water causes 80 % of all diseases in the
developing countries. Nearly 20 million children
die each year from lack of water or from watercaused diseases.
e.g.
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth.

I lived in a big city for ten years
and then moved to a small town. I
know both the urban and rural
lifestyles. But which lifestyle is better?
Urban or rural?
Rural life is simple. You can live
close to nature. People don’t have
technology, but everyone is cheerful
and happy.
There are lots of things to do in a
city. You can go to movies, theatres
and concerts. You can join sports events. There are many shops, cafés and restaurants. But you
can also spend a lot of money easily.
Urban life is very fast and busy. Traffic and pollution are big problems. The city is crowded and
life is difficult. Technology helps you, but it is expensive and stressful. Rural life does not give you
technology. But it gives healthy food and fresh air. Now think again, which one is better?

My Favourite TV Programme
‘Stargate’ is my favourite TV programme. It is an American
science fiction series about a secret organization. The organization
explores the universe through the stargate. The stargate is a ring
shaped alien device and it enables personal transportation across
the galaxy. The main characters are Colonel O’Neill, the chief;
Captain Carter, the Mayor, and Daniel Jackson, the doctor. They are
at the orders of General Hammond, the organization leader. They
are a nightmare for their enemies, the goa’ulds. I like the
programme because it combines science fiction and mythology, and the visual effects are great.

The Nazca Lines
Issue No: 73
Thousands of years ago, a mysterious culture drew more than 300
figures and shapes into the Nazca Desert, Peru. No one knows the reason.
Pilots discovered them in the 1920s when they were flying across the desert.
From ground level, these shapes look like cuts in the sand. From the sky,
the shape of the drawings becomes clear. Some of them are huge. The bird
drawing is 123 meters in length. Some of the figures are geometric and others
represent animals such as a spider and a lizard.
The Nazca Lines are a mystery today. There are a lot of theories. They may be religious or
may represent an astrological calendar. They may be a landing area for aliens. They may show
underground rivers of water. Nobody is certain about these theories. But Nazca Lines give
important information about ancient civilizations.

Mozart: The Timeless Genius
Mozart was born in Salzburg in 1756 into a musical family and
showed indications of genius abilities at a very young age. When he was
five years old, he could both read and write music, and had great skills as
a piano and violin player. He composed his first symphony before he was
10. But his life was not easy. He spent most of his childhood on tours. But,
he earned little money and had financial problems. He produced hundreds
of symphonies and operas. His outstanding talent inspired many
composers like Beethoven. He died at the age of 35.

grandfather used to live on a big farm. There were no shops so they used to produce everything on
their own. My grandmother used to keep chickens and cows. They used to grow vegetables. They
used to make bread, yoghurt and cheese in the kitchen. One day, I tried to make bread. I messed
up the kitchen but my grandmother didn’t say a thing. She was always encouraging. I was free and
comfortable with her.

personalities. Greencheeked parrots are difficult to breed,
so the species is slowly dying out. In
my opinion, people shouldn’t buy
parrots. Then the green-cheeked
parrot could live in the wild, and have a
better chance of survival.
I first learnt about green-cheeked
parrots at school. They are usually found
in Mexico and are really good at copying
people’s voices. In the last twenty years,
people have smuggled them across the
border to the USA, and have sold them
as pets. People value them as pets
because they are attractive and have
Here we’re trying to save this
species of turtles. They are the
largest freshwater animals in North
America. These turtles can stay
under water for three hours. They are
facing extinction because people kill
them for their meat. Snapping-turtle
meat is often used in soups or sold in
restaurants. These snapping turtles only
breed once a year. We believe in that if
people stop buying these turtles as pets
and stop eating snapping-turtle soup,
the turtles will have a chance to breed
and survive.

Doctors prescribe medicines to cure these diseases. So, traditional medicine has a more classic
way. In the Western world, doctors prefer traditional medicine but it may have some side effects.
People may die because of wrong medicines.
Alternative medicine tries to heal the person not the disease. It gives alternative ways such
as massage therapy and herbal medicines. They are more popular than the traditional medicie.
Integrated medicine combines both traditional and alternative medicine. It sees the disease
as a whole. It tries to improve the relationships, diet and lifestyle of the person to solve the
problem.

Obesity
Issue No: 77
Obesity is an excess of body fat. In other words, you take more calories than you can use. Poor
diet, fatty foods, and lack of exercise are the common causes of obesity. Obese people store fat in
fat cells and in their muscles. If they do exercise, they can burn the fat in their muscles. So, the best
solution is to keep fit. Instead of a diet, people should change their lifestyles and they should improve
their health.

AB 68
a. Work in pairs. Do you take antibiotics when you catch cold? Why / Why not? Discuss.
b. Read the conversation and match the sentences below.
1. If you use more antibiotics,
— you can use them.
2. If you don’t need antibiotics,
— you can suffer dangerous side effects.
3. If you have a cough,
— they can become less effective.
4. If you have serious infections,
— you shouldn’t use them.
5. If you use other drugs with antibiotics,
— you should get advice from a doctor.
Antibiotics are important medicines. They fight infections caused by bacterias.
However, bacterias can resist antibiotics. The more we use antibiotics, the less
effective they become, so we should use them carefully.
Don’t take them if you don’t need them. If you have a virus, antibiotics won’t
work. Generally, viruses cause all colds and most sore throats and coughs. So if you
have a cold, get advice from your doctor rather than take antibiotics.
Your doctor will prescribe antibiotics when you need them, for example, if you
have serious infections. Remember, if you only use antibiotics when necessary,
they are more useful. Be careful because antibiotics may have dangerous side
effects when used with other drugs.
Whenever I feel sick, I always get
antibiotics, but still I don’t feel well.
Can you give information about
antibiotics? Should I use them?
