Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı, Talim ve Terbiye Kurulunun 29.06.2012 gün ve 81 say ılı kararı

28.03.2014 gün ve 1310094 sayılı yazısı ile üçüncü defa 782.878 adet basılmıştır.
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.
Bastığın yerleri toprak diyerek geçme, tanı:
Düşün altındaki binlerce kefensiz yatanı.
Sen şehit oğlusun, incitme, yazıktır, atanı:
Verme, dünyaları alsan da bu cennet vatanı.
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.
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.
Ben ezelden beridir hür yaşadım, hür yaşarım.
Hangi çılgın bana zincir vuracakmış? Şaşarım!
Kükremiş sel gibiyim, bendimi çiğner, aşarım.
Yırtarım dağları, enginlere sığmam, taşarım.
Ruhumun senden İlâhî, şudur ancak emeli:
Değmesin mabedimin göğsüne nâmahrem eli.
Bu ezanlar -ki şehadetleri dinin temeliEbedî yurdumun üstünde benim inlemeli.
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?
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.
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
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!
Mehmet Âkif Ersoy
GENÇLİĞE HİTABE
Ey Türk gençliği! Birinci vazifen, Türk istiklâlini, Türk Cumhuriyetini,
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 cumhuriyeti
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 cumhuriyetine kastedecek
düşmanlar, bütün dünyada emsali görülmemiş bir galibiyetin mümessili
olabilirler. Cebren ve hile ile aziz vatanın bütün kaleleri 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 vazifen,
Türk istiklâl ve cumhuriyetini kurtarmaktır. Muhtaç olduğun kudret,
damarlarındaki asil kanda mevcuttur.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

COURSE INTRODUCTION
Outcome based set of textbooks -YES YOU
CAN - are tailored for students aged 14 -19 and
incorporated with Communicative Approach.
The curriculum of the set of textbooks take the
learners from A1 (Basic User) and aims to bring
to C1 (Proficient User), which is described in
Common European Framework of References
(CEFR).
CEFR describes six levels and competences:
A1 Basic User (Breakthrough Level)
A2 Basic User (Waystage Level)
B1 Independent User (Threshold Level)
B2 Independent User (Vantage Level)
C1 Proficient User (Effective Operational
Proficiency)
This textbook and its components provide a
complete course for A2.2 level.
What can a learner with A2 level do?
A2 – Waystage Level
• Can understand sentences and frequently
used expressions related to areas of most
immediate relevance.
• Can communicate in simple and routine
tasks requiring a simple and direct
exchange of information on familiar and
routine matters.
• Can describe in simple terms aspects
of his/her background, immediate
environment and matters in areas of
What does outcomes based textbook mean?
As mentioned above, CEFR includes certain
outcomes and YES YOU CAN (Student’s
Book, Workbook and Teacher’s Book) aims to
enable students to acquire these outcomes.
That means all the teaching activities that are
carried out throughout the course should serve
for this purpose. Note that grammar is only one
of the tools of the aim. At the end of the course,
students are expected to be able to use these
outcomes rather than use the grammar rules
without a context.
Why Communicative Approach?
Communicative approach puts the learner in
the centre of learning. It is also based on real
life contexts. It is claimed that natural integration
of language and culture takes place through a
more communicative approach than through a
more grammatically based approach (Canale
and Swain, 1980).
12
YES YOU CAN develops four skills (Listening,
Speaking, Reading, Writing) using a number of
different communicative texts, dialogues, tasks,
vocabulary, language study, performance tasks,
games, fun corners and quizzes. Since the
methodology of YES YOU CAN is communicative,
almost all the activities are designed to meet
students’ needs and they address students’
feelings to promote active learning. Grammar
teaching is acquired through skills and activities.
The ultimate aim of the set of textbooks (from A1
to C1) is to bring up students as independent and
proficient users of four skills.
YES YOU CAN contains;
• Communicative methodology,
• Student-centred activities,
• Four skills (integrated) with authentic texts,
dialogues, activities and guiding,
• Contextual vocabulary and grammar teaching,
• Games, poems, jokes and cartoons,
• Authentic photos, illustrations and comics,
• Self-check sections at the end of each theme,
• Peer correction charts where necessary,
• Activities aim to promote general knowledge and cultural awareness.
• Supportive components: Workbook, Teacher’s
Book and audio recordings.
Student’s Book
Student’s Book has been written to attract
students’ attention with interesting topics, daily
language components, dialogues, designs,
photos and illustrations. There are eight themes
in the Student’s Book. Each theme consists of
three contents. Each content includes both
general and common outcomes, vocabulary
and language areas which are embodied in four
skills (Listening, Reading, Speaking, Writing).
Grammar teaching happens through skills. So,
the more students are exposed to those skills
the more they learn how to use the language.
Keep in Mind! sections provide a summary to
the language studied. Students refer to these
sections throughout the learning process. The
Student’s Book also aims to promote cultural
understanding, human rights, active citizenship
and respect to the environment.
Workbook
Workbook has been designed parallel to the
Student’s Book. In the Workbook, we aim to
practice the outcomes, vocabulary and grammar
in the Student’s Book and to extend the learning
with extra reading texts, puzzles and games.
Each theme has three contents with two pages
each. Performance and project works are
included at the end of the themes. Workbook
is recommended to be a self-study material.
STUDENT’S BOOK OVERVIEW
Theme cover page
All theme cover pages have photos related to the
theme.
Name of the theme
Students go through the outcomes before they start
the theme.
Attractive visuals are provided so that students can
be attentive.
There is a variety of comprehension activities.
Pair work & group work activities are widely used.
The first activity of reading part is usually to read
the text for general understanding.
13
Each theme has three contents. They give ideas
about what the students are going to be introduced
with.
Photos taken from real life make the reading texts
authentic.
Contents start with receptive skills and ends with
productive skills.
Keep in Mind section provides a summary to the
language studied. Students refer to this section
throughout learning process.
Ss practise the writing skills they are supposed to
acquire.
Student’s Book consists of 4 Atatürk pages.
There are variety of activities on Atatürk’s pages.
Four skills (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing)
are also taken into consideration.
Poems are used to make students love poems.
This is a self check activity. Students check to see
whether they have acquired the outcomes or not.

B. Read the letter and find. What is the lowest temperature in Alaska?
Hi Simon,
I’m having a wonderful time in Alaska. It’s the
largest state in the USA and one of the most beautiful
places in the world. It was the most enjoyable journey ever.
We arrived at the camp and slept in log cabins. It was
the coldest night of my life. Here the weather is terribly
cold. It can get as cold as -60 °C. The best thing here is
the wild life and the arctic beauty. Polar bears, red foxes,
seals and moose are fascinating. I’ll show you the photos
when I come back. On the first day of the camp we shared
the duties. The worst thing is that I have to cook. The best
thing is that I don’t have to do the washing up. Dennis has
to do it. Maggie is responsible for the fire. She has to carry
the wood with Thomas and light the fire. They have to
watch out for the bears. The most frightening thing here is
hungry bears. Actually, they are fantastic animals but they
are the most dangerous animals when they’re hungry.
That’s all for now. Everybody is waiting for the
spaghetti.
Love

Dr Timothy Harlan (a physician
and a chef) says...
In the busy world it can be difficult to
avoid eating out because it’s just so easy
and quick so people are becoming more
and more restaurant lovers. Unfortunately,
restaurant portion sizes can be two, three
or even four times standard portion sizes,
and you know what that means: If you eat
too many calories, you’ll gain weight and
if you gain too much weight, you’ll always
want to lose weight. If you read my web
page through Dr.Gourmet.com for a while,
you will understand it’s really important for
people to cook and eat at home. Believe me
it’s healthier and cheaper than you thought.
In addition if you eat at home, you’ll know
exactly what you’re eating and how much
you’re eating.

looked for the boy for over 20 minutes, but they couldn’t
find him.They were waiting hopelessly. All of a sudden they
saw their son. Jamie was walking slowly with his backpack
over his shoulder. After they found the boy, they got into
a taxi happily. On the way to the hotel the boy said “I
did something bad.” His parents said “Don’t worry about
it because we’re just glad you’re back.”Jamie repeated
the second time that he did something bad. His parents
said everything was fine. This conversation happened
continuously on their way to the hotel. When they finally
got to the hotel, they asked their son why he was telling
the same thing again and again. He said he took a baby
penguin from the aquarium. The mother thought it was a
toy penguin and said they would bring it back to the toy
shop. In their hotel room when they opened the boy’s
backpack, they were very surprised because there was a
real baby penguin in the backpack. It was sleeping deeply.

to prepare my suitcase, I was really excited. An hour later when Julia

called a taxi and left the house. When I arrived at the airport, Julia was
waiting for me. We got on the plane.
We arrived in Venice. I was planning to have a gondola ride in Venice
while Julia was having a meeting. But it was impossible because it was
raining heavily so I went to the hotel for a nap. After an hour, the rain stopped
so I decided to go out. First I walked in the narrow and colorful streets of Venice. While I was
walking and crossing over the many bridges, I took lots of photos. Then I went to La Zucca to have
dinner with Julia. We ordered Italian pizza. It was really delicious. While

Hi, everyone,
I’m having a wonderful time. It’s very rainy in Rome. We’re staying in a lovely hostel in the
heart of the city. The staff are young and friendly. They can speak English, French and Spanish
so we have no communication problem. We have already seen the magnificent Colosseum
and we’ve taken lots of photos. We have just seen the Trevi Fountain but we haven’t seen
the Spanish Steps yet because of the heavy rain. That’s Friday. I’ve tasted fantastic pizzas.
They’re the most mouth - watering pizzas I’ve ever eaten. Unfortunately I haven’t tried the
Italian ice-cream because I have a terrible sore throat. My friends say it’s the most delightful
ice-cream they’ve ever tasted.
Must go now! Friends are waiting for me downstairs. We’re going on a sightseeing tour with
Hop - on Hop - off bus.
See you soon.

we looked after 60 children. We played games,
read and painted with them. Later on they learnt
how to paint themselves. To gather money for
the orphanage, I also taught English one day a
week in the local primary school for two months.
I had a chance to travel after my working hours.
There were many attractions to see. Everywhere
was fascinating. I was very happy to be in this
project because I wanted to improve myself
personally and culturally. But living in a different culture was really difficult.
Communicating people without knowing the language was

UNESCO, over 25 nations compete against each
other in various sports such as soccer, basketball,
volleyball, swimming, table tennis, American football,
squash, baseball, racketlon, bowling, wrestling,
tennis, badminton etc. Everyone can enjoy the
excitement of an international competition at the
World Sports Festival and each participant can
match with competitors from all over the world.

but to take part so even small achievements are
celebrated as well as the bigger ones. The youth
are able to represent their own country, and at the
same time they are able to show their talents and
skills into different sports. It’s also a perfect time for
the youth to befriend with the other teams from the
other countries and to practise friendly competitions
and unity.

The Pursuit of Happyness is a biographical drama.
The film is based on a true story about a man named
Christopher Gardner and his little son, Chris. The story takes
place in San Francisco in 1981. Will Smith plays Chris Gardner.
His real son, Jaden Smith, plays Chris Jr. Christopher is a
smart and struggling salesman. He spends his days trying to
sell expensive medical equipment to doctors. He financially
breaks his family. His wife leaves him, he loses his house, his
bank account and credit cards. He is forced to live out in the
streets with his son, Chris Jr. He is completely desperate and
tries to find a steady job. Then he has an opportunity to be a
stockbroker. He really loves working in this job. However during
the internship he has to work without any salary for six months.
Although he is homeless and penniless, he has to take care of
his son on his own. They live on the streets and sleep in subway
stations. They never give up struggling in spite of the difficulties.
Chris and his little son are determined to stay alive. At the end,
they manage to survive. Although the story seems depressing,
its message is really inspiring.“If there is pain, there is life and if
there is life, there is hope.” Don’t miss that fantastic film.

Have you ever sat on a beach and cried from happiness?
I have.
Read my emotions and memories with Caretta Carettas.
I spent two months on Wassaw Island (near the coast of Savannah, the USA) doing sea turtle
protection and research. It was the most challenging and the happiest experience of my life. The
conditions of the island were so challenging that I got exhausted both mentally and physically.
Every night I had to stay awake and watch the turtles lay their eggs till morning.
During the day it was so hot that I couldn’t sleep at all. The reward of a hard week was seeing
the turtles coming up from the ocean and observing them. I can’t explain my happiness when I
saw the baby turtles. They were so cute that I wanted to kiss them one by one.
I love the turtles. I love being a part of their survival. I love working to keep their existence. This
is what I want to do throughout my life. I want to be a researcher. To me, happiness is helping
Carettas!

b. verbs that describe states (be-want-need- have(possess)- like-love-hate-)

103
•
We usually put the adverb before the verb.
e.g. I sometimes watch TV.
I don’t often go out at nights.
But “sometimes” is different in negatives.
e.g. I sometimes don’t go out with friends.
SIMPLE FUTURE “WILL”
Future Time Expressions = tomorrow, tomorrow morning / afternoon / evening / night, soon, later, in an
hour / 10 minutes / two years, next week

BE GOING TO
The Future Time Expressions : soon, tonight, tomorrow, next week / month / year, in an hour / a year /
two months

DEFINITE / INDEFINITE ARTICLES
1. We use indefinite article (a / an) with only singular countable nouns when we’ve talked for the first
time.
Using “a” or “an” depends on the sound that begins the next word. So...
• a + singular noun beginning with a consonant:
e.g a boy; a car; a bike; a zoo; a dog
• an + singular noun beginning with a vowel:
e.g an elephant; an egg; an apple; an idiot; an orphan
• a + singular noun beginning with a consonant sound: e.g. a university; a unicycle
an + noun beginning with silent “h”:
e.g. an hour
105
2. We use definite article “the”
• when both speakers know which noun they are talking about.
The car over there is fast.
The teacher is very good, isn’t he?
• when the noun is only one.
The sun is far away from the world.
The first time you speak of something, use “a or an”, the next time you repeat that object use
“the”.
e.g. I live in a house. The house is quite old and has four bedrooms.
I ate in a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was very good.

• For adjectives ending –y, change to –i
e.g. I think chemistry is easier than physics.
• For long adjectives, add more / less + adjectives + than
e.g. I think rhinos are more dangerous than crocodiles.

e.g. He’s lost my keys.(He doesn’t have his keys now.)
The time reference in the sentences includes the present.
e.g. She has been ill all this week. (This week isn’t finished.)
With superlatives

I’ve never ridden a horse.
just / already - yet: “just” is usually used only with the Present Perfect Tense and it means ‘a short
time ago’.

happened.
e.g. I’ve already spent my salary and it’s two weeks before pay day.
“yet” is used to talk about something which is expected to happen. It means “at any time up to
now”. It is used in questions and negatives.

TAG QUESTIONS
A tag question is a special construction in English. It is a statement followed by a mini-question. The
whole sentence is a “tag question”, and the mini-question at the end is called a “question tag”.
Notice that the question tag repeats the auxiliary verb (or main verb “be”) from the statement and
changes it to negative or positive.
e.g. You like tea, don’t you? (Positive statement - negative tag)
You don’t like me, do you? (Negative statement- positive tag)

e.g. “It started to rain.” or “It started raining.” (Both sentences have the same meaning.)
Although - Though- Eventhough- In spite of - Despite
All have the same meaning but :

e.g. Although it rained a lot, we enjoyed our holiday.
I didn’t get the job although I had all the necessary qualifications.

e.g. In spite of the rain, we enjoyed our holiday.
I didn’t get the job in spite of having all the necessary qualifications.
The boss didn’t get angry with Narissa despite her being late.

We use ‘used to’ for something that happened regularly in the past but no longer happens.

•
•
•

e.g. He is flying to Rome tonight.
We usually know exactly when the arrangements are happening. They are often the type of
arrangements we can write in a diary.
e.g. I’m seeing my doctor at 5 on Monday.
When we use the Present Continuous for future arrangements, we usually use a future time
phrase such as today, tonight , tomorrow, next…… .
We usually use the Present Continuous to ask about people’s arrangements.
e.g. Where are you going this summer?
The arrangement doesn’t have to be in the near future. The important thing how certain we are
about it.
e.g. We are getting married in May next year.
SO - BECAUSE
•
•
“so” is used to show RESULT.
e.g. It was raining, so we decided not to go to the beach.
“because” shows the REASON.

so..... / such ....
• When used for emphasis, “so” must be followed by either an adjective or an adverb and must be
linked to an explanation clause.
e.g. It was so hot that we decided not to go to the beach.
OR
•
We decided not to go to the beach because it was so hot.
“such” is used in the same way, but must be followed by an adjective+noun.
e.g. It was such a hot day that we decided not to go to the beach.
OR
We decided not to go to the beach because it was such a hot day.
NOTE! When there is no explanation clause, use “very”, unless referring to a present situation.
e.g.
It was very hot yesterday, wasn’t it?
It’s so nice to see you again!
POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
