ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

c) on your side, slightly curled?
d) with your head on one arm?
e) with your head under the covers?

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy

From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It

When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

c) on your side, slightly curled?
d) with your head on one arm?
e) with your head under the covers?

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to

someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8

Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is

They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8

evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and

This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy

From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all

against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

b) stretched face down on your stomach?
c) on your side, slightly curled?
d) with your head on one arm?
e) with your head under the covers?

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy

From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

c) on your side, slightly curled?
d) with your head on one arm?
e) with your head under the covers?

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is

They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

SEVGİLİ OKURLARIMIZ,

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy
Sometimes
From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy
Oops! I Did It Again

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new

Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,

BRITNEY SPEARS
Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.
Baby One More Time
Crazy

From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
Born To Make You Happy

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is

They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

Name: Britney Jean Spears
Date of birth: 2nd December 1981
Star sign: Sagittarius
Place of birth: Kentwood, Louisiana
Parents: Jamie and Lynne Spears
Brothers & sisters: Brother Brian and sister Jamie-Lynne
Favourite musicians: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill
Britney Spears is one of the biggest sensations to hit the world of pop, topping the charts in
the UK and the US with hits like Born to Make You Happy.
The 20-year-old first dazzled us in 1999 when her single and album Baby, One More Time,
shot to number one in the US and the UK.
How did she start off?

Much of her success is down to her determination to get to the top.
She started singing and dancing in local dance shows and church choirs as a youngster.
At the age of eight she auditioned for Disney's The Mickey Mouse Club. She was too young to
join the show, but a producer spotted her talent and introduced her to a New York agent.
She then spent three summers at the Professional Performing Arts School Center and was in
a few off-Broadway productions, including Ruthless (1991).
She tried out again for the Mickey Mouse Club and was successful this time, appearing on the
show from the age of 11 to 13.
What are her best known songs?
Her style of pop is ever-changing as she gets older and wiser.

FATHER

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing I'll be grown some day
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

At the optician's, a customer asked, "Are my new glasses ready?" "Yes
sir," replied the optician who was a pretty girl. "Try them." He did and
was satisfied. He said, "I can see you very well. Good-bye young man."

A teacher was giving a lesson on good manners.
"Suppose, by mistake, you step on a lady's foot. What do you do?"
"I say 'Pardon me'."
"Very good. Now suppose the lady, to reward you, gives you a coin. What do you do?"
"I step on the other foot to get a second one."

A woman visited a family. At the end of her visit, she gave a small coin to the little boy
whose family she had been visiting. He put it in his pocket without thanking her.
His mother, thinking perhaps he was shy, asked,
"What do you reply?"
"I don't know."
"Yes you do. What do I say when your father gives me money?"
"You say 'Is that all?'"

A mother always gave her child a spoonful of cod liver oil for her health. The
child hated the taste. So she insisted that her grandmother, not her mother, measure the
spoonful.
"Why?" asked her mother.
"Because she trembles," replied the child.
liver(n): the largest glandular organ in vertebrate animals, located in the upper or anterior part
of the abdomen
oil(n): any of various kinds of greasy, combustible substances
tremble(v): to shake involuntarily from cold, fear, excitement, fatigue, etc.; shiver

Dentist: I have to pull the aching tooth, but don't worry it
will take just five minutes. Patient: And how much will it
cost?
Dentist: It's $90.00.
Patient: $90.00 for just a few minutes work???
Dentist: I can extract it very slowly if you like.

Every day, an ESL teacher was seen coming out of the rest room with a marker, used for
writing. In the rest room were expressions and graffitti written on the walls. It was very bad.
Finally, the Director of the school called the teacher into the office and told the teacher that it
was terrible of him to write those things on the walls. The teacher said that he was not the one
writing those things. All that the teacher did was to correct the grammar.

ATATÜRK's ADDRESS TO THE TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth!

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the turkish Independence and
the Turkish Republic.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is
your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and
abroad who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend
your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and
circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty. These possibilities and
circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavourable. The enemies conspiring against
your independence and your republic, may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the
annals of the world. It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved
fatherland may be captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every part
of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold
power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore,
they may indentify their personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The
country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted.
Youth of Turkey's future,
Even in such circumstances it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic.
The strength you need is already imbedded in your noble blood.
Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

PARROT
Jack was a young sailor. He lived in England, but he was often away with his ship.
One summer he came back from a long voyage and found new
neigbours near his mother’s house.They had a pretty daughter, and Jack soon loved
her very much.
He said to her, ‘My next voyage will begin in a few days’ time, Gloria. I love you,
and I’ll mary you when I come back. I’ll think about you all the time, and I’ll write to
you and send you a present from every port.’
Jack’s first port was Freetown in Africa, and he sent Gloria a parrot from there. It
spoke five languages.
When Jack’s ship reached Australia, there was a letter from Gloria. It said,
‘Thank you for the parrot, Jack. It tasted much better than a chicken.’

ASPENDOS

Aspendos is known for his best-preserved theater of antiquity with seating
for 15.000. Still used today, the theater's galleries, stage decorations and acoustics all
testify to the architects success. Nearby stand the remains of a basilica, agora and one
of the largest aqueducts in Anatolia.

This city on the shores of the ancient Eurymedon,built by the colonial
people from Argos,is renown over the world because of its Roman amphitheater of
incrediple beauty,that is still in excellent shape .Aspendus was the only city,besides
Side,that minted silver coins in 5th C.AD.The city walls were built in the Hellenistic period
and were repaired restored in the late Roman period and in the Byzantine
period.Aspendos is divided into two:Lower City and (Upper)High City.The
Agora,Basilica,Bouleterion and the monumental fountain situated in the High City and the
Theater,Stadium,the Roman Baths and the Water aqueducts situated in the Lower City
are definitely worth seeing.The Aspendos Theater holds 15,000 people and was built by
the famous Aspendosian architect Zenon,in Marcus Aurelius’time(secondhalfof2AD). This
theater is in better condition than all other theaters built in the ancient times .In order to
keep with Hellenistic traditions,a small part of the theater was built so that it leaned
against the hill where the Citadel (Acropolis)stood,while almost all of the other parts were
buit onvaulted arches . The high stage served to seemingly isolate the audience from the
rest of the world.The very top section of this stage has been repaired and the acoustics
were ameliorated with later additons .Because the stage area was later used as a
caravansarai in Seljuk times,it was continuously repaired and maintained .Thus,the
Aspendos Theater has been able to survive to this days without losing almost any of its
original qualities

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous and indecisive. Someone who needs to be looked after, who
always wants to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or
anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems in everything. Some people who know
you well, know that you aren't like this. The trouble is that you don't let many people get close to
you

FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical. They see you as clever,
gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but
someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you make and who expects the same loyalty in
return. Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your
friends, but equally, that it takes you a long time to get over it if that trust is shaken

FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting; someone who is
constantly the center of the attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go your head.
They see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up or
help them out.

FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly, volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural
leader, quick to make decisions ( though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and
venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who
takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the
excitement you radiate.

THE STORY
In summer, the boy in the story is active and healthy. He plays soccer, basketball, and
baseball, and goes swimming, so he has a lot of exercise. In September he does not
exercise much. He eats snacks of chips and soda after school while he sits in front of the
T.V. In October, he eats ice cream while he sits at the computer. In November, he eats
cookies while he watches T.V. He weighs a little more. In December, he eats French fries
while he sits at the computer again. He has gained a lot of weight. He is not healthy
anymore like in the summer.

A man is going towards a field. He knows he will die when he gets there. What is the situation?
Mr. Johnson lives in an apartment on the 30th floor of an apartment block with 30 floors. He is
39 years old, single and works in the local bank. Every morning, he leaves his apartment at 8
a.m. He gets into the lift and goes down the 30 floors to the street and goes to work. In the
evening when he returns, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 10th floor, gets out and walks up
20 floors of stairs. On rainy days, he gets into the lift, goes up to the 20th floor, gets out and
walks up the remaining 10 floors using the stairs. Mr. Johnson hates using the stairs. Explain.
Mr. Johnson is very short and can't reach all the buttons in the lift. On rainy days, he has his
umbrella with him and can therefore reach ten buttons higher.
A woman walked into a bar and asked for a glass of water. The barman pulled out a gun and
pointed it at the woman. The woman thanked the man and left the bar. Why?

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;

"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
