21. Read the news excerpt about a Turkish Myth: Lake Van Monster and write
T for true and F for false for the following statements.

CNN World News, June 12, 1997


Sightings of the Lake Van monster were first reported about
two years ago, but evidence was offered on Tuesday: bad quality
amateur pictures of something long and dark moving in the
middle of the lake.
After each report of witnesses who believed that
they saw the monster, professional camera crews
have rented boats to try to take a photo of the
monster, but didnt manage to take one.
The monster became an obsession for 26-year-
old nal Kozak, who is a teaching assistant at Van
University. He has been talking to every eyewitness
since the first sightings.
He waited for long hours at the spots where most of the sightings were reported to
see and film the so-called monster and he claimed that he saw the monster himself on
three occasions. Kozak also wrote a book on the creature, including drawings of the
monster based on the descriptions of some 1,000 witnesses.
He says the creature is about 15 meters (49.5 feet) long. Public opinion is divided
over whether the Lake Van monster is a clever hoax to attract visitors to a region that
could use some tourist revenue.

(.....) 1. Evidence about the Lake Van monster was found two years ago.
(.....) 2. A few photos of the monster were taken by professional camera crews.
(.....) 3. nal Kozak didnt care about the monster.
(.....) 4. The monster was seen three times by Mr. Kozak.
(.....) 5. Some people believe that the Lake Van monster is a made-up story to attract tourists.

Dear Aye,
Im writing this letter from Birmingham, England. Im Ann from
England. I live with my parents in downtown in the city center. My
father is a dentist and my mother is an accountant in a huge company.
She has worked for that company for a long time. I go to high school
and have a lot of good friends here in Birmingham.
My days are generally the same. I usually get up early and go to
school. In the afternoons, my friends and I go to the Bullsring where
there are many shops and cafs. After that, I go back home, help my
mom for dinner and we have quiet evenings. I study all night because
some subjects such as Physics and Math at school this year, 11th
grade are more difficult.
By the way, I have been abroad several times. In fact, last year, I
visited Turkey and I fell in love with your country. Everybody was
friendly and welcoming. We went to Ephesus, Olympos and Fethiye.
We had a great holiday. History and beautiful nature are blended
in your country. You are very lucky! I wish Id stayed in Turkey for
another week.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Love,
Ann

Dear Ann,
Its great to hear from you. I live in Rize, one of the
big cities in the Blacksea region of Turkey. We live in
an apartment in winters but we move to our house
which is in my fathers village in summers.
My days are similar, too. I get up early and go to
school. As you said, 11th grade is difficult, so we have
to study harder this year. After school, we go to the
school library to study with friends. Then, I go back
home and help my mom for dinner. We always have
noisy evenings as we have a lot of relatives living in
our neighbourhood and they visit our house almost
every evening. We are a big family with lots of cousins
and grandparents.
I have never been abroad. I wish I had been able to
visit foreign cities, but I visited many cities in Turkey.
I saw Ephesus and Olympos, too. You should visit
Blacksea region! You will love the adorable nature.
This summer, you may visit Rize and I will show you
around.
Hope to see you in Turkey again.
Best,
Aye

Dear Advice Guru,


Something really bad happened. We moved to another city
inquired
because my mother changed her job! I still feel terrible about
this.
unbearable In my hometown, I had a lot of good friends. We used to study
and spend time together all the time. My best friends were
there, too. Whenever I was in trouble, I had best friends to talk
sort out
about it and they were always able to 1. . that
problem. My mother never told me about her plans, so I was
lacks shocked! We moved here three months ago and I havent had a
new friend, yet.
My life here seems 2. . I cant stand living
communicative
in this city. This city is smaller and it 3. . social
activities. There are only three big shopping malls! Although
it is by the sea and there are a lot of cafs to go, I have no
friends, so they are useless. My mother keeps telling me that I
will get used to living here, but I dont think so. People here are
really 4. . and talk too much. They try to interact
with me all the time, asking many questions. I dont like to be
5. .! I dont answer their questions most of the time
and my parents get mad at me!
What should I do? Please help me.
Best,
Desperately Lonely.

a. You can continue your relationship with your previous friends via telephone or the
Internet.
b. They could have mistreated you because of your attitude, but fortunately, they didnt.
c. If you had been open to changes, you could have met new people there.

Dear Desperately Lonely,


I can see your point. It must have been really difficult to leave your friends and life there, in your hometown. Im sure you have
been missing every moment of your previous life. However, you need to move further!
Let me first explain your mistakes a bit. You should have made new friends. 1. . Considering your
sincere statements in your letter, you must have been very rude to these kind people there. People must have been very polite
and friendly there because they tried to interact with you although you didnt answer their questions. You must have hurt
their feelings doing so. 2. . Please, consider my objective statements to get used to your new
environment.
Now, when it comes to the next steps to be followed, all I can say is to be yourself! As you mentioned in your
letter, you used to have many friends in your hometown. This means you are a friendly and easy going person.
3. . You can occasionally visit each other, too. Please, look around and find new friends
who will change your mind about the new city. People around make a place bearable. You may even love this city more soon!
So, keep calm and stay positive!
Best,
Advice Guru

a. Haste makes waste.
b. Evil thoughts have evil ends.
c. Truthfulness brings its own reward.

(.......) One day, a wolf was walking in the countryside. He found a sheep-skin which was spread on the
ground. He thought, If I wear this skin and get mixed up in the flock, the shepherd will not suspect
me. At night, I will kill a sheep and then, take him away with me.
Therefore, the wolf covered himself with the sheep-skin and got mixed up with a flock of sheep.
As he had expected, the shepherd took him as a sheep and shut him also in the pen. The wolf was
waiting for the night.
Unexpectedly, the shepherd had a feast that night. He sent a servant to fetch a fat sheep. The
servant saw the sheep-skin covered wolf by chance. That night, the guests had the wolf for supper.
He ended up as the victim while expecting to be the slayer.

(.......) One day, a wood cutters axe accidentally fell into a river. The poor wood cutter looked for it
everywhere in the water but his efforts were in vain. Finally, he burst into tears. Hearing his sobs,
an Angel appeared before him. She asked what happened and he told the story that he couldnt
get by without it and how he couldnt find his axe.
The Angel dived into the river and came up carrying a golden axe. The wood cutter did not
accept it. He stated that his axe was made of iron. The Angel was surprised but disappeared again
and soon returned with a silver axe. The wood cutter again denied that it was his axe. The Angel
once again plunged into the river. She soon reappeared carrying the axe of the wood cutter. The
poor man greeted the angel with words of profuse thanks and great joy.
The Angel was impressed by the mans honesty. In the end, she happily presented him with the
golden and silver axes in recognition of his truthful nature.

(.......) A woman had a pet mongoose. It was very faithful. One day, she went to the market, leaving
her baby in the care of the mongoose. At that time, a big cobra entered the house. The mongoose
killed it after a long and fierce fight.
When the woman came back she saw the mongoose lying at the entrance. She noticed its blood-
covered mouth. In her haste, the woman thought that the mongoose had killed her baby. In a
moment of sudden fury, the woman threw the water pot on the mongoose and killed it.
Alas! When she entered the house she was filled with remorse. Her baby was playing cheerfully.
Nearby, a big cobra lay dead. The woman shed tears of grief patting the corpse of the mongoose.
She made a huge mistake!

ideas with the texts.

a. Some individual good intentions may lead the wealthy get wealthier.
b. If people had known that their invention would threaten others lives, they would have stopped working on it.
c. Some inventors cant stand being famous and its consequences and what it brings.

(....) 1. J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was the director of the Los Alamos
Laboratory during World War II, is credited with the creation of the atomic
bomb. But, everybody knows that Albert Einsteins work made it possible.
Oppenheimer welcomed the opportunity to play a part in the war. Later,
however, he had mixed feelings about the bomb. I have no remorse about the
making of the bomb. As for how we used it, I understand why it happened. But
I do not have the feeling that it was done right. Our government should have
acted with more foresight and clarity in telling the world and Japan what the bomb meant, he said.
Einstein had different thoughts and was less equivocal, so he let the cat out of the bag and told the
truth. Years later, he regretted having signed a letter to President Roosevelt. In the letter, he urged him to
support the research of physicists into nuclear chain reactions and their use as a weapon, because he believed
that Germans were already working on it. If I had known that the Germans would not succeed in producing
an atomic bomb, he said, I would have never lifted a finger.

(....) 2. Flappy Bird was a sensation a year ago. The game looked like a simple
game but it proved to be hugely addictive because there is a balance between its
infuriatingly difficulty and being just playable enough to make you think that next
time youll do better. Therefore, downloads and controversy increased. However, after
50 million downloads and advertising revenue that was hitting around $45,000 a day,
Nguyen, who was the inventor of the game, had had enough and announced that he
was going to withdraw it from app stores. I cannot take this anymore, he tweeted.
Apparently, the publicity generated by the game had attracted the attention of the worlds press and Nguyen
was bombarded with calls, tweets, and emails.
Surprisingly, the removal of the game from app stores did little to suppress the publicity. Nguyen
received death threats while phones with the game already installed were being sold online for small fortunes,
and app stores were flooded with copycat titles.

(....) 3. While working as a consultant for Herman Miller in the 1960s, Bob
Propst introduced the US to the open plan office and with it, the office cubicle.
He claimed to design these cubicles to give office workers a more flexible
environment than the rat-maze boxes of offices.
Soon, companies saw his invention as a way to save money, doing away
with individual offices and replacing them with open plans and cubicles. Propst
later confessed that he himself hated his invention. Putting people in cubicles in
modern corporations is massive insanity, he said.

What If a Giant Asteroid Had Not Wiped Out the Dinosaurs?

There have been many explanations for


the extinction of the dinosaurs. However,
one is more accurate than the others: a
giant asteroid. Although there were other
factors which were involved in dinosaurs
extinction, the unquestionable death
came with the impact of a 6-mile-
wide asteroid in present-day Mexicos
Yucatan Peninsula 65 million years ago.
1. .......................................................... The
event unleashed mega-tsunamis, planet
wide wildfires and kicked up enough dust and debris to block the sun and cause a period
of global cooling, which killed off many plants.

For many scientists, there is one significant question after this extinction: What if
dinosaurs hadnt been wiped out? 2.
Dinosaurs had a good long run of dominance on land for 160 million years prior, and if
that had continued, primates like us would not have been around. Mammals did co-evolve
alongside dinosaurs, but they occupied fringe ecological niches and grew no larger than
rodents in most cases. Thus, human beings as they are today would have never evolved.

Researchers have also speculated


that intelligent dinosauroids might
have evolved in humanitys place, based
on the relatively large brain size of late-
emerging trodontid species, which were
bird-like predators. Of course, some of
those dinosaurs would have become quite
smart. 3.

Historical Ties Between Turkey And Hungary

T he recent discovery of the tomb


of Suleiman the Magnificent, who is
considered the greatest Ottoman ruler, has
raised hopes of a tourism boom in one of
Hungarys most 1. . areas.
Traces of the countrys 150-year-long
stretch in the Ottoman Empire from hamam
baths and minarets to battle site memorials and ruins of mosques are not hard to
find in Hungary. But, some Hungarians see them as relics of a dark period because
they think the countrys flourishing renaissance era was 2. ..
during that time. As a result, few of the Ottoman monuments have been promoted
by Hungarian authorities so far. Suleimans case could change that, however.
In July, experts confirmed that excavations in the struggling town of Szigetvar,
had revealed the tomb of the 16th-century ruler. Suleiman died at the age of 71
during an epic battle with the mainly Croatian 3. . of Szigetvar
Castle that weakened his forces.
This town is dying, young people are leaving or have already left for
Germany or London, but Suleiman can bring in jobs, income and tourists and get
us from rags to riches. said Norbert Pap, head of the team of researchers whose
4. . uncovered the tomb.
Sleepy Szigetvar, which has a population of 10,000, has few hotels. But,
Pap believes that the town has a long-term potential for tourism. Suleiman is
a national cultural icon in Turkey, and as Szigetvar is easier to get to from both
western Europe and Turkey, there is a very good chance that Turkish tourists will
come and visit the tomb, said Pap.
The municipality has already announced the plans to build better hotels
close to the castle where you can see the history. Paps team continues to dig for
Suleimans heart which was buried in a golden urn according to the legend. Five
Turkish 5. . of Ottoman princesses will give DNA samples next
week in Szigetvar for comparison with samples from the tomb area.
Hungary and Turkey have much in common, a shared cultural heritage,

entirely. 1. However, the doctors
were forced to amputate his left hand. He was used to
doing everything with both hands, but after that time,
he had to get used to using one hand for all the chores.
Luckily, in 1997, R.D. Singh, who was a coach saw him
while Devendra was competing at a school sports day,
and from that point everything changed. In 2002, he
won the gold medal in the 8th FESPIC Games in Korea. Then, he was qualified for his first
Summer Paralympics Games where he represented India at Athens. At the games, he set a
new world record with a distance of 62.15m. 2. In 2016, he won a gold
medal at the 2016 IPC Athletics Asia-Oceania Championship in Dubai.
Nowadays, he spends his life practicing hard in India. He is used to waking up early and
spending time with his family before he leaves for the training area. He still works with R.D.
Singh as his personal trainer. R.D. Singh says they are used to each other and he knows the
best for his sportsman. Devendra got used to looking for the bright side because he confesses
that he couldnt have succeeded that much if that bad accident hadnt happened.
Paul Kevin Jonas was born in 1987 in New Jersey. He is the
oldest of three younger brothers. Most people know Kevin from
the band titled The Jonas Brothers, which also includes two of
his three younger brothers. He was famous for his performances
at the bands live concerts and he used to have a lot of fans.
3. All the time, they were surrounded by
a lot of people and unfortunately, they couldnt spend peaceful
time together.
In 2014, Kevin decided to quit his singing career. He
launched a food searching app. 4. His life
has changed a lot since then. His famous app is a location-based
search app for food, which gives the location and phone number
of the highest rated restaurant closest to you. Nowadays,
Kevin is used to having a silent and peaceful life far from the

to this kind of life, but now, he is very pleased with it.

a. How Japanese go to work


b. Mixture of old traditions and new deeds
c. Traditional lifestyle
d. What modern lifestyle has brought

(......) Japanese people have had a long traditional


history. Most Japanese people used to live in agricultural
villages or small fishing settlements along the coast.
They used to wear only traditional clothes and lead a
simple life. Almost all Japanese people were used to
having tea ceremony every day. They were always very
respectful and hardworking. For a long time, they were
away from the western lifestyle, so they werent used
to consuming much, buying more than necessary and
eating unhealthily. In time, things started to change
and western lifestyle has affected their lifestyles a bit,
though not totally.
(......) Now, most of the population lives in metropolitan areas. Everyday life for many
Japanese people involves work in an office, store, factory, or other segments of the metropolitan
economy. Daily commutes by bus, train, or subway are generally long, particularly in Tokyo.
In addition, the commute is extraordinarily crowded.
(......) Due to the countrys high
population and costly land, most houses
and apartments are small in comparison
to those in other developed countries.
However, most Japanese have an access
to comforts such as the latest fashions in
clothing, new appliances and electronics,
and new models of automobiles. Sundays
are the busiest shopping days in Japan.
During the afternoon hours, department
stores and shopping malls are full of crowds.
Japanese people also enjoy traveling and
often go abroad or to popular domestic
resorts during holidays.
(......) Japanese lifestyle brings traditions from the past and new activities, borrowed from
other cultures, together. The Japanese diet, for example, includes rice, seafood, and other
