ities...Some of them flow down
like a drop on your skin, without
giving a sign. You travel, you
love. You enjoy their museums. You are
impressed by their environment, you
taste lovely dishes in their restaurants,
fall in love on their streets, catch naive
photos in their crowded squares and so
on. But as soon as you leave these
cities, the concept of them abandons
your mind silently. You forget about them
without realizing. Once in a while you
remember, but you don’t feel a deep
need to go back. Their pressure on you
is so light and delicate that they feel like
a blurry picture, or a foggy day. Beautiful
but volatile. Volatile and temporary. There
are a lot of places on earth like them.
On the other hand there are some
cities...They stick to your body like a
tattoo. Open up a new section in your
mind, broaden your horizon. They catch
you, they shake you, they challenge
you, they change you… They hold your
hand, get into your dreams and dance
with you… Istanbul is one of these cities.
Even if you stay here for just 3 months, a
year or a life time, each day, each minute
makes you feel as if you were a colorful
feather of a bird. You get tired of hectic
life, all that noise and color. Istanbul
wears you out. But you love her anyway.
She forces you to be addicted to her.
Her addicts look for her wherever they
go, they talk about her sentimentally and
they remember her with pure affection.
Each corner of İstanbul is an exciting
synthesis; each photo of it, is a visual
feast if you are able to see it. Even in the
most ordinary moment you can capture
its hidden treasure and mysterious
talisman. You can see the people
together who aren’t expected to be seen
together, our stories make complex
spools by tangling with one another.
Istanbul is a lady with long, shiny,
brown, wavy hair swaying in the wind.

Her laugh blends into the seagulls
screaming and rises with the air. It is
hung on the top of the sky and stays
there for a while. Throughout history she
has been an attractive, mysterious even
hardcore woman for poets and travelers.
She is an impossible lover. Moreover she
is sometimes grown old, hunchbacked;
sometimes never even existed. But
always vibrant, always in motion with her
people, cats and dogs on the streets,
boats, fishermen, seagulls.
Life is always challenging in Istanbul.
Each day, each morning. The more effort
you put into handling her, the more she
washes you away with her capricious
waves. She teaches you the details of
life. She teaches you how to love, to be
loved. There are just a few places on the
earth which are young and dynamic but
old and rooted at the same time.
While passing by, we, the citizens of
this beauty, look at each other on buses,
ferries, jitneys, streets and squares from
a far without understanding. We always
put people into some categories in our
minds. But if we listen to each other’s
stories, we will realize that we have no
difference at all. The people we call
‘’they’’ may be much closer than those
we call ‘’us’’. Under the shells, clothes,
masks people’s hearts are all the same.
Istanbul is like a magnet, she pulls
you, drags you. But sometimes,
especially when you don’t expect, she
dismisses you. You want to run away,
you feel like fleeing from her, just in
an instant. It doesn’t matter where you
are going when you decide to leave
her. Time goes by, you travel and feel
as fresh as a daisy. Then, you feel
an urgency to return, it pulls on your
stomach, you must, you need to return
to that which is missed. She welcomes
you and she understands you.
Istanbul is love. Neither can you do
with her nor can you do without her.

tO SUCCESS
I
n today’s global world people are
well aware of the countless advantages of learning a foreign language
for college students, young job seekers and career makers. The merits of
knowing a foreign language is obvious.
It is an undeniable fact that learning
another language opens new doors in
life helping learners to achieve more
and to have a better understanding of
another culture. Exposure to another
culture broadens students’ perspective
and way of thinking. A person who
speaks another language often has a
better understanding of another culture
and can better represent himself on the
global platforms. When people know
how other people in the world think
and what they value, the likelihood
of cultural misunderstanding will also
be reduced and they will be able to
approach the world and people with
a more open-minded attitude and
form new relationships increasing their
ability to successfully maneuver in an
interconnected world.
Educational literature abounds
regarding the benefits of foreign language learning. Studies show that
learning another language enhances
academic skills of students by increasing their abilities in reading, writing,
speaking and listening. Be this the
case, investing in language learning
may in turn yield great results, in
other words, you may reap great
harvests to achieve your short term
and long term goals in life. My great
concern is that you, the English Prep
School students, make the fullest use
of the opportunities provided in this
school and leave this school fully
equipped with the necessary language
skills to illuminate you throughout your
entire career am sure you will have
acquired the skills necessary to make a
difference in your future career by the
time you graduate.I must admit that I
feel excited about the first issue of our
school newspaper which is the outcome of a real teamwork, hard work
and diligence. I know it is not an easy
task to produce a school paper like
this. Therefore take this opportunity to
extend my heartfelt appreciation and
thanks to our beloved instructor Sema
Okay who is always there when I need
her and members of her team who
have put their heart into it and managed to materialize the first issue of
our school paper of 2013-2014
academic year. I hope you will today

university and in your future career
with a strong sense of fondness, accomplishment and satisfaction.

t ‘s an undeniable fact that child labour
socially and morally adverse effects
Simay HEPGEzER leaves
which is on-going problem almost all
on the working children and arises from the
over the world for ages still exists in all
country’s structural problems. I am going to
countries regardless of the level of development. Child labour inform you about child labour especially in Turkey.
GENERAL CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF CHILD LABOUR
Causes:
Effects:
Poor and untutored families
They cannot
acquire
enough food.
They don’t
have enough
education.
Orphans
They develop
mental
health issues.
They
have
some
industrial
accidents.
They make
the country’s
development
decrease.
They are
exposed
to violence
by their
employers.
Tormenting Them Into Working As Employees?
First of all, children work due to the poverty of their families.
It’s important that without the structural backing to support
regulation employers make children work and that is why children are low-priced labour and they do not know enough about
their own rights. Besides, this activity is illegal nearly everywhere. Secondly, the reason is insufficient auditing. When we
look at the historical development of it, we all know that children work for fifteen or even sometimes eighteen hours a day.
Moreover, between 1730 and 1779 half of the people who died
in London were younger than five years old. Eventually laws
and regulations came in to place. Especially, the International
Labour Organization takes a hand in these kind of studies.
Even so it is not enough for these suffering children.
What About Children In Poverty In Turkey?
There are almost 4.000 child–workers in Turkey.
With the help of statistics, when it comes to examine the
details regionally, they illustrate that one in four childworkers are from Southeastern Anatolia.
On the other hand, do you know that 55 childworkers living in Turkey lost their lives on account of
industrial accidents in 2013? For instance, Ahmet Y.,
who was a 13 year-old child-worker, earning just 100
TL for a week, lost his life in Adana in an industrial accident this year. After this incident, some decrease in
child labour was seen. However, Ahmet is not the only
child who is exposed to occupational accidents. There
are other children apart from him. I want to make you
aware of the reality.
l Nazar G. (9) killed by a truck driver who hit her while
she was cleaning car windows. (30.09.2013)
l Serdar D. (16) died in a traffic accident while he was
on his way to work. (30.10.2013)
l Emine D. (13) killed by a stray bullet while she was
working in a factory. (03.10.2013)
l Gökhan Ö. (17) died by falling from the eleventh floor
of a building. (09.11.2013)
l Ökkeş G. (10) died by being squashed under a machine on an industrial estate. (14.07.2013)
l Mustafa D. (10), a shepherd, died by poisoning from
fire. (24.04.2013)
Should all of them lose their lives due to earning
money at their young age? Death is already the most
extreme example. So, is it fair to gamble their futures
and subject them to extreme situations, possibly developing issues affecting them later in life because of their
untutored lives? Consequently, at the moment, the ball
is in your court… Do what your conscience tells you!

‘Live Like The Amish’
Ergün COŞKUN
T
he Amish, who avoid using technology, are normal human beings
like us. They emigrated from
Europe and then they settled down in
America. Most of the Amish live in
Philadelphia and Ohio. They value rural
life, manual labor and humility. Their
lives have strict rules. At first glance,
their dressing styles attract the attention
of many people. For men, it is forbidden
to wear more than three buttons. They
wear broad-brimmed hats of black felt.
If men are not yet married they do not
grow out their moustaches. The women
wear modest dresses made from solid
coloured fabric with long sleeves and a
full skirt. They never cut their hair due
to their religion. They use a bun to hold
their hair together. The way they are
dressed is their lifestyle and custom.
They don’t use electricity because they
believe it is an evil thing. They also use
buggies for transportation. Due to their
traditional lifestyles, they grow their own
crops such as corn, tobacco, soybeans, potatoes etc. They raise and milk their own
cows. They also make their own furniture themselves. Due to their belief, they
don’t use any musical instruments and
they refuse to have their photos taken.
They don’t put photos on the wall either.
Whenever they stitch dolls for young
girls, they make them without faces.
Moreover if you take a photo of them,
they will normally become angry with
you and want you to delete it. Because
they believe their souls will move away,
out of their bodies, when they are photographed. When men propose to their
girlfriends for marriage, they don’t give
her a diamond ring. They may instead
give her a beautiful piece of china or a
clock as a gift. As we can see there some
very interesting but sometimes strange
lifestyles which are very different from
the ones we all know.
There is a conventional holiday
event in my home town in Bulgaria
every year. On the 1st March, this
holiday called “Baba Marta” starts.
Baba Marta was an old grandmother
who made wrist bands and small
thread baby dolls for children long
in the past. However, someone said
that she was a witch and people were
provoked to kill her. Later, people
understood it was wrong to kill her but
it was too late at that time. Then, in
order to celebrate and remember Baba
Marta, they started to do whatever
Baba Marta had done in the past.
During March, we all wear wrist bands
and small thread baby dolls for this
event which is called “Martenitsa”. I
would like to describe this beautiful
event it to you. It has red and white
colours decorating many places all
around. White symbolizes a long and
healthy life and red symbolizes love
and a wealthy life. There are also lots
of strings which are connected with
wrist bands. There are both broad
and narrow sized strings. Young
and old alike can join the festivities
of Martenitsa. In addition to my
description, this wrist band can be
used by people starting on first day of
March, but it must be taken off before
the last day of March.
On the condition that you see a
stork during March, you can then
take it off. If you don’t see one
before last day you must leave it
under a stone or you can also attach
it to branches of new trees that are
supposed to grow fruit. We believe
that this wrist band will bring wealth
and health with Martenitsa. Actually
the main idea of the Martenitsa
tradition is related to welcoming the
upcoming spring and remembering
Baba Marta. The red and white
colours along with the festivities are
definitely a sight to see and join!

2014 Spring Fashion
Selin ARSLAN
Fashion is an indispensable part of our daily life.
Everybody is interested in fashion. I think being
trendy is important everywhere, at school, at work
and in the street. A good combinatıon of clothes
makes us look beautiful so we feel happy.
New Trends for Women
First of all, let’s start with high waist pants!
They can suit you whether you’re wearing a
T-shirt, jacket or shirt. Don’t forget high waist
pants show you thinner!
l Low heels are the best! Especially stiletto shoes.
You can combine stiletto shoes with boyfriend
jeans, dresses, jeans, suits and many clothes.
l Light colors such as peach or pink are
sine qua non.
l As to bags, lighter colors and ease models are in
fashion. Disobey the rules. Ignore the harmony between shoes and bags.
l A pair of skirts is a woman’s best friends,
find perfect skirts that suit you! This spring
narrow-cut long skirts or floras are the trend.
l New trends also include ‘Skull’ Especially in accessory bags, shoes and fedoras.
l A denim jacket - A flowery dress or shirt dress
l A trench coat
l Crop tops are a trend especially this spring and summer. Plane and lace patters are also in fashion.
l Nail polish: Sine qua non! Because they are small but
important details.
l
Fashion for Men
l A white shirt must be essential!
aren’t trendy this spring. Just trousers. There are
beautiful colors: white and cream.
l A trench coat shows a man so cool...
l A watch is the only accessory for men. It reflects a
man’s style and personality.
l A denim jacket is so charming...
l A fedora is classy for both ladies and gentlemen.
l Favorite colors of the spring for men:
pink, peach, white, cream

Dressing Mistakes
l You shouldn’t go to a party with
baggy and loose jeans.
l If you are short, you shouldn’t
wear long dresses.
l If you have short legs, you
should wear high waist pants.
l Don’t wear a fur coat even if it
is stylish. It is out of fashion.

use big bags.
l Only wearing tights! Always
combine them with tunic or
long blouses.
l If you are fat, you shouldn’t
wear short dresses and miniskirts.

DISABILITY
WHERE IS THE
I
n the eyes of others, people with
disabilities are almost scary creatures. Disabilities don’t hurt anyone.
However, people are always afraid of it.
They care more about their appearance
than what they can do and many of their
capabilities. Unfortunately a physically
disabled person is also seen as mentally
retarded. However, it is a very different
situation than it is considered. What I
want to mention here is people with disabilities are often more respectful, loving,
and successful in being sensible than
people without disabilities. In addition,
contrary to common beliefs, people with
disabilities have achievements in business
life as well. For example, most disabled
people can be successful, working in call
centers, in trade or in the IT sector. So
the main disability is not in the body but
in the mind or in the thoughts. My purpose in writing this article and making
this interview for the school newspaper is
to raise awareness as best as I can.
INtERVIEW WItH PHYSIO
tHERAPISt GÜLCAN AkSOY
ABOUt DISABLED PEOPLE AND
PHYSIOtHERAPY IN DISABILItIES
What does physiotherapy mean for
disabled people, what purpose is it applied for?
Physiotherapy helps people who were
born disabled, or have a disability after as a
result of illness or accident. It is the treatment which involves the fulfillment of the
lost function, the recovery of the muscle
strength, or physical rehabilitation and social reintegration of disabled people.
For disabled people, is physiotherapy
a permanent or temporary treatment?
Disability physiotherapy approaches
can actually last a lifetime because the
lost functions can be won. But when
treatment is discontinued, the quality of
the function decreases. Rehabilitation
work is a long process and requires patience. So it is necessary to support the
patient psychologically.
Based on your observations what can
5
Young PENS
Enes İĞNECİ
you say about the psychological state of
people with disabilities?
Let’s start with the following words:
We are really upset when we hear them
being called disabled as we have committed ourselves to improving their lives.
When they get disappointed or lose their
hope after spending a lot of time and effort in order to recover, they may start
to ignore their treatment process and
this can lead to a vicious cycle for them.
Therefore encouragement and patience
for both the patient and his family is very
crucial in the process of treatment.
Disability is a privilege
that makes some people
different from others.
Of course generally
people with disabilities
think this way.
In your opinion, what is the position
of people with disabilities in social life
and how are the disabled people viewed?
I don’t find it appropriate when people
are looking at the disabled people with
curious eyes. What I think is that their
purpose is not being helpful but being
curious. “Will he be able walk one day?”
“Why can’t he sit?” “What is his problem?” Questioning the family members
of the disabled people by asking such questions “can lead
to disturbance and
psychological pressure”.
Therefore
depression is
inevitable for
the people
with disabilities and their
families
due to the
curious
glances and
nonsense
questioning. We, the physiotherapists,
do not approve it, either.
What would you say about the situation of disabled people in school?
Starting at a young age, disabled children and their families are faced with
some problems in their school life such
as being exposed to the curious glances
of their friends, or being rejected by the
other children’s families. Even in some
cases, teachers may refuse to have a disabled child in their classes.
Aside from these psychological pressures, in schools where there is no lift to
the upper floors or no classes provided
on the ground floor for disabled pupils,
they have to be carried to their classes
upstairs in their parents’ lap. To sum up,
they are exposed to personal, social and
architectural pressure.
Do you think disabled individuals in
schools should be given more tolerance
for their irregular attendance problems?
I think they could be tolerated on
condition that they submit their medical
reports as they may have operations or
need a long process of treatment, but not
for arbitrary absenteeism.
What is the place of disabled people
in business life?
They may perform their professions without any problems
after completing their education
or training in their fields. Nonprofessionals can also be trained
in the centers which are specially
organized for disabled people
and then employed.
They Need Us!
Buket AÇGÜL
Dear Friends;
Animals are living beings just like
us, humans. They need to eat and
drink; they need to have shelter, love,
and even loyalty. As seen nowadays,
some people are cruel to stray
animals. But, something should not
be forgotten; they are like us with
the same needs and feelings. Think
of a human getting hungry, thirsty
and unkempt. A human is struggling
to survive with such difficulties. In
the world we live in, even a lot of
people are dying from the cold. But,
in the winter, sports centers are used
and opened for homeless humans by
municipalities. The municipalities
provide a bed, a warm environment
and they shelter them in this way.
What about animals? They drink rain
water to cure the dryness of their
throat. There are “Animal Protection
Associations” in many places. But,
we must think, “How many animals
are we able to reach?” and “Is what
is done for them enough or not?” In
this regard, not only organizations,
but we as people must be selfless. For
example; if you put a cup of water and
a piece of bread in front of your door
in the summer or if you provide a place
to stay in the winter, this means life
for the animals. In short, I am saying;
“LET’S BE A LITTLE SENSITIVE”
and “LET’S HELP INNOCENT
ANIMALS OUTSIDE”. We should
at least take animals in need to the
animal shelter. So below for you, I
am giving the telephone numbers of
animal shelters in Istanbul. Thank you
in advance for caring for those that
need us most.

Do You Still
Drink Diet Cola?
After reading this article, you must
think twice about drinking diet cola
because actually diet cola isn’t diet.
We are unaware of the risks of drinking diet cola. We spend money on
diet cola just as much as we spend on
beauty products such as creams, masks,
balms etc. But it is the greatest enemy
against us.
According to research in the USA,
drinking diet cola leads to lipidoses
(lipid storage disorder) in the abdominal region and causes a fast aging
effect. Chemical substances in diet cola
cause accumulation of body fat in the
abdominal region and this is called
“diet cola belly’’. Additionally, according to a research by Purdue University,
chemical substances in diet cola are
more harmful than the ones in normal
cola because it includes
sweetening agents such
as carbonate, coloring
agents, aspartame
and others.
As a result, diet
cola isn’t as innocent
as we think. I hope
we can choose to live
healthily by choosing the proper food
and drink. BE

become mixed into the life of London.
There are many places to visit in London.
If you are interested in history you can see
The Tower of London, Kensington Palace,
Westminster Abbey or the Museum Of London.
The Tower of London has changed continuously for 900 years. At one point it was the Royal
palace, people who were in prison were even
executed there!
London has some unique natural attractions.
I think, the best example of this is Hyde Park;
you can have a rest there or visit Serpentine, a
lake in Hyde Park, which can be navigated by
boat; and of course do not forget the St. James.
I definitely suggest you visit Richmond Park
to watch the beautiful red deer.There is also
Trafalgar Square in central London. The square
has statues of lions and there is always a bustle
around the fountain. Many tourists feeding the pigeons and demonstrations of all kinds. Trafalgar
Square has also hosted many collections such
as the National Gallery. More than 2000 exhibits
are in this gallery. In my opinion the most interesting one is “The Virgin of the Rocks”, which
was created by Leonardo Da Vinci. What a pleasure to see! You shouldn’t miss it!
SECRETS OF SLEEP
In this issue we’re going to talk about
the importance of qualified sleep and
how to get it. So we’re going to ask
questions and respond to them by using
expert opinions.
1) Why Do We Need To Sleep?
According to consultants there are
several reasons for the necessity of sleep:
• To save energy by slowing down the
biological activities
• To refresh the body and mind. And
thus to grow up.
• To strengthen the memory
In contradiction to known information, sleeping is not the requirement to
have the body rested. Just laying down
is enough for this. But sleeping is necessary for brain activities. According to the
test in which human subjects were made
not to sleep for a week, the subjects had
temporary blindness and deafness.
2) How Much Should We Sleep?
There is not an exact answer for this
question. Because it depends on people’s age and their circumstances. For
instance;
• Babies ( 14-15 hours )
• Kids ( 12-14 hours)
• School-age children (10-11 hours)
• Adults (7-9 hours)
Here are two basic tests to learn the
suitable hours for yourselves.
Hilal BAYRAMOĞLU
1st Test:
The most important rule of this test
is to stabilize your awakening time. You
should get up at the same time every day.
• You should set your alarm clock and
get up when its bell rings and shouldn’t
delay it.
• You should go to bed whenever you
need it at night. You shouldn’t force
yourself to sleep or to stay up.
2nd Test:
This test is the opposite of the first one.
You should stabilize the time that you go
to bed. You should go to bed at the same
time every day.
• Go to bed at the time that allows you to
sleep for 9 or 10 continuous hours
• Do not set the alarm if you do not hesitate to sleep over 10 hours.
Both tests will take time but the experts
tell us one of them should be helpful to
learn our necessity of sleep.
3) How Should We Qualify Our Sleep?
• Key aspect of high quality sleep is quite
a dark room. If you cannot make your
room this dark then get a sleep mask.
• Avoid eating, exercising, watching TV,
using a computer or mobile within 2
hours of sleeping.
• Reduce daily consumption of cigarettes
and alcohol.
• Avoid drinking coffee, tea and other
caffeinated drinks shortly before sleeping.
4) What Kind Of Problems Does It
Bring If We Sleep Less Than We Need?
• Putting on weight
• Depression
• Concentration problems
• Increase risk in cardiovascular diseases
• Increase risk in paralysis
• Increase risk in cancer
After all, in accordance with this information, it’s impossible not to have
qualified sleep! Good night to you all!

THEATRE OPPOSITE
There was a dirty and deserted storehouse
which was discovered by theatre lovers and
converted to a stage and redesigned as a theatre. This is how “Theatre Opposite” came
about. Members of Theatre Opposite have
different jobs including bankers, doctors, accountants, lawyers, and financiers but what
they have in common is they are creating
original social based plays instead of performing repeated plays. When I asked Önder
Kanbir why the theatre is so important for
the members of Theatre Opposite, he said;
“We cannot live without writing or creating.
This is an addiction. It is a requirement for
us.” İLKER KÖKLÜK, who is the art director and an actor of Theatre Opposite, graduated from Uludağ University, Department
of Economics. However he devoted himself
to the theatre and wrote numerous plays like

Bollywood Pictures And ‘3 Idiots’
Everyone must watch a Bollywood movie at least once
in their lifetime. I haven’t heard anybody commenting
on Bollywood films in such as ‘not a good film….classic
scenario…..will never watch one again…’ etc. Almost
everybody likes Bollywood films. However, as these movies are
quite long, people may hesitate with the assumption that they
might get bored. I would say they are not boring but enjoyable.
For example, ‘3 Idiots’, a popular film in the Bollywood scene,
lasts almost three hours, but it is a great film. I was so delighted
when I first watched it, I then watched it four more times.
If you haven’t seen this film yet, you must absolutely see it.
Otherwise you may regret not seeing it. Definitely ‘3 Idiots’
deserves cheers with the messages it gives, its scenario, its cast
and the soundtrack. Also, you can experience a lot of different
feelings while watching this movie. I don’t remember any other
movie that has made me laugh and filled my eyes with tears at
the same time.
Of course Bollywood is not represented by only ‘3 Idiots’.
‘My Name Is Khan’, ‘Life of Pi’ and ‘Slumdog Millionaire’
are examples of the most popular Bollywood films and these
movies all deserve high praise.

Frankenstein... AGAIN!
Do you like thrillers? If yes, you
should have already heard something
about Frankenstein. After a lot of
Frankenstein movies were released in
January, the new version will be in theatres: ‘’Frankenstein: War of Immortals’’.
The first movie was shot in 1910. The
story was born in 1818. When this old
story is combined with present day technology, the result is a fantastic movie.
You won’t want to miss it!
The film was directed by Stuart Beattie
Actors: Aeron Eckhart, Miranda Otto,
Bill Nighy

ONE OF ‘3aDaM’
Oguzhan Koc released his first album
a few weeks ago, It’s called ‘’Ben Hala
Ruyada’’. I think it will bring him big success. He is a really talented lyricist. The
songs will remind you of BKM movies.
One of my favourite song in this album
is ‘’Bu yol uzar’’. His voice is pretty impressive. The album includes 10 songs.
Which are all cheerful and peaceful love
songs. This album is a must listen!

Are you a beef lover? You can’t enjoy
meal without meat? Come closer... It’s
Virginia Angus. It’s a really small but a
qualified restaurant in Eminönü. Their
story started about 100 years ago. They
say this is a family business. You’ll realize their experience when you taste your
meal. There is always a small queue in
front of the restaurant but it is worth
the wait. Prices are reasonable. Average
cost is around 20TL. My favorite meal is
Virginia Burger. You must go and taste!

Ümit ÖztÜRk
F
ootball is the most watched and
played game in the world. One
company wants to earn money
from this. This company’s name is EA
SPORTS. At the beginning of the 90s
EA SPORTS, in coordination with
SEGA laid the foundation of FIFA.
After a period, this partnership broke
and EA SPORTS introduced FIFA 98.
Then EA SPORTS introduced FIFA 99,
2000, 2001 and others. EA SPORTS had
71% of the football games market cap
until the introduction of the PlayStation
2. With the introduction of this game
console, a company named KONAMI
introduced a new football game. This
football game’s name is Pro Evolution
Soccer (PES). FIFA now had a tough
opponent. But FIFA had lost many fans
to PES, because FIFA hadn’t developed
for many years. So FIFA had 49% of the
football games market. EA SPORTS
then made a decision. The decision was
“Not to Save the Day, Invest In The
Future.” Changes made as a result of
EA SPORTS brought FIFA back as the
market leader again with FIFA 11. EA
SPORTS FIFA invested in the future
and made many changes relating to this
new look.
EA SPORTS made 3 big modifications, they named these “Innovation
Trait.” These innovations were implemented at the end of the third year.
EA SPORTS brought together the best
T
o
n
h
ec
es
i
g
lo
of animators and programmers and EA
SPORTS created
an army of experts.
This army reaching
400 people travelled
to Burnaby, Canada.
And this army worked
hard because they had to
finish FIFA in 12 months.
Now I want to mention
Innovation Trait.
The First innovation is a Player Impact
Engine. This innovation is the first in the
world and it simulates the laws of physics
when football players contact each other.
The new creation was brought to life in a
studio. The name of the studio is Mocap.
How is it done? EA
SPORTS invited football players to Mocap.
And EA SPORTS’s
staff stuck 60 sensors on the football
players’ bodies. These
sensors are located on
players’ joints. These
sensors tracked their motion to record physics for the
game engine to use.
The second innovation is Professional
Player Intelligence. This innovation reflects the actual properties of the players,
for example, Peter Crouch. He is a master of head balls. If Peter Crouch doesn’t
score with a head ball in a game, it is very
yP
funny. So EA SPORTS created this innovation to express real players’ styles.
The third innovation is Tactical
Defending. This innovation was a very
big revolution in FIFA. But this isn’t just
motion. This is strategy. This innovation
reflects football skills in game, and this
is different, because this innovation requires thinking. So FIFA is becoming
more difficult. In short, these three innovations completely changed the play
of the game.
EA SPORTS FIFA has a method.
The method is created using Head
Scanning Hardware. The purpose of
this method is to make football players
look better. So how? Players step into a
cabin. This cabin has eight cameras and
these cameras process 3D images of the
players. 4 scans of each player with neutral expressions are taken. The scans are
taken in a neutral pose so that they can
change the facial expressions later.
Now came the last 3 stages. Match
expression and cheering. When you see
narrated events in a game, you can easily identify them; this is because they all
need to be created before, they cannot
easily be simulated. FIFA removed these
type of events to improve the game. And
Cheering, FIFA is a family game. So
every cheer isn’t included in FIFA. Some
cheers are censored because they may be
offensive. And the Final Stage is completion. All data is collected and combined
into a database. EA SPORTS FIFA is
ready. Have a good time playing!
That Will Affect Our Lives In 2014
Nazım Yağmur GENÇ
Technology is endlessly moving. New products are changing
our habits. We have witnessed a lot
of technological innovations in our
lives in 2013. At the same time, the
invention of all that existed was the
precursor of many new products
to be released. Many technologies
that could change our lives seriously
may appear this year too. Will phones
become stronger and smarter? What
changes in the internet? Here are what is
waiting for us in 2014.
3D Printers: Having a printer was perceived as a great opportunity in the past.
But now, everyone has one in their
houses or offices. 3D printers will be
one of the key technologies in 2014.
With 3D printers that we use in daily
life, many objects will be able to be produced in a quick and inexpensive way.
Smart phones will be further
strengthened in every sense: Phones will
be more unbreakable in 2014. Phone
producers got some special works toward
this. But not just special mobile phones,
ordinary phones will also see improvements. All the phones are expected to
be waterproof. Structure of the phone
won’t be glass and metal anymore. The
phones are expected to be lighter, more
flexible and thin. Also some phones will be
produced with curved screen.
Computers will be in the accessories:
With the development of chip technology, computers first came to our lap and
then entered into our pocket. The next
step is accessories. Google glass, Sony and
Samsung’s smart watches and Nike Fuel
wristband were the pioneers of this technology. Apple is also working on a similar
product. It will create differences for sure.
But it still won’t take the leadership of
smart mobiles.
Internet of things: In short, communicating with each other through the various
communication protocols will create a
network of intelligent devices that sharing
information system. Our lives may be
affected to a greater degree
in our house with this type of
technology. For example; before we arrive our home with
a car, our house will be heated.
Online education: Providing
education via internet, online platforms are increasing
continuously. Through these
platforms, anyone with a computer and internet connection can follow
lessons of the world’s leading universities
for free. Having millions of users, online
education platforms will become even
more popular in 2014.

Bulgaria has a border with our country, Turkey.
Because of this closeness a lot of people prefer to go
there for sports, holidays, travelling, shopping and
also working. Bulgaria’s population is about seven
million and most of them live in rural areas. The rest
of the people live in Sofia, the capital city, which is
the biggest, the most developed and the most crowded
city. It is possible to see advertisements for Bansko
which is a nice place with pine trees, and the longest ski patches. But you normally have to wait for an
hour to ride the lift up because of the crowds and irregularity. Pamporovo is the second most well-known
ski resort in Bulgaria. It has five million Euros of investment for the winter season. It is located on the
Rhodope Mountains. New lifts are established annually and new ski patches are also created. All ski
patches and lifts are maintained in really good condition. It is possible to rent skis, clothes and boards. You
can also enroll in a skiing course. There are thirteen
lifts which you can use with a ski pass. You can get on
the lifts on your own. If you are alone in Pamporovo,
you can use the single lift but if you have a group of
friends, there is a lift with six seats so you don’t have to
be alone while you are riding the lift up. Pamporovo
has approximately thirty ski patches. Patches are suit-
able for both beginners and professionals. One of the
steepest patches is ‘’The Wall’’. As seen in the photo,
it looks like a wall. If you fall down while you are skiing, you cannot stop yourself till the end of the patch.
The views of Pamporovo are quite beautiful and
adorable. The Rhodope Mountains are surrounded
by pine trees which are really tall. You will find
pleasure in the forest views while you are
skiing. Pamporovo, has a ski patch
which is thirteen kilometers long, it is
one of the longest ski patches. You have a chance to
ski nonstop but it takes twenty minutes to ride the lift
up. If you get hungry, you can find some wooden and
conventional restaurants and taste Bulgarian cuisine.
Palachinka and Pirlenka are my favourite, you should
try them. One of the best restaurants is located in a tall
tower which is on the top of Pamporovo. It is called
Snejanka, which means snowflake in Bulgarian language. You can eat something while enjoying unique
and endless views. At night, you can stay in a hotel
near the ski resort. If you prefer to ski under the stars,
some of the skiing patches are open at night. But I
suggest you stay in the Ribkata Hotel. It is five kilometers away from Pamporovo. This hotel is located
in the forest. There is a lake next to the Ribkata so it
is possible to eat fresh fish. Actually, Riba means fish
in Bulgarian. Those working in the hotel are Muslim
but they don’t speak Turkish. You can just say, “I’m
a friend of Ergün’’ they can do their best to help you.
The nearest city center is Smolyan. You can find everything from food to clothes. In this city, you can’t
see any tall buildings. If you like small villages, pubs,
restaurants, casinos and stores, you mustn’t miss this
place. If you are a European Union Citizen or if you
have a diplomat passport, you don’t need a visa. All
kinds of other passports including green passports
need a Bulgarian visa. For more information, don’t
hesitate to ask me.

D
rogba’s full name is Didier Yver Drogba Tebily, his nickname is ‘’Tito Lokito’’. Drogba was born in the Ivory
Coast of Abidjan on the 11th of March, 1978. He has 6
siblings. When he was 5, he moved to his uncle Michel Goba’s
house in France. He started playing football in Levallois at the
age of 15. Then he was transferred to ‘’Le Mans’’. He played for
the Ivory Coast National Football Team in 2002. Later in 2002 he
was transferred to Chelsea from Marseille. He earned 24 million euros and he became a legend. In 2012 he was transferred
to ‘’Shanghai Sheua’’ but he was not happy and had lots of
problems. So he was transferred to Galatasaray in 2013 and he
is still playing for this team. He married Diakite Lalla in 2011 in
Monaco. They have 4 children with one of them being adopted.
Because of civil war, they have adopted this child and also
helped to end the war. He always donates money for children
in the Ivory Coast. He won the Award of Goodwill Ambassador.
He founded ‘’The Didier Drogba Foundation’. He wrote an autobiography and he donated all of his revenues to charity. In
2009 he was in a Pepsi advertisement and he earned 5 million
euros. He founded a hospital in Abidjan with this money. He
developed ‘’Levallois Stadium’’ so they changed its name to
‘’The Drogba Stadium’’ because Drogba helped this team. Last
February ‘’The Daily Telegraph’’ wrote about Drogba. They
said ‘’Drogba is more helpful than the Ivory Coast president.
He was the ‘’Golden foot Award Winner’’ in 2013. The winner
of ’’The best footballer of the year’’ award was given to Drogba
and the ‘’Best Man’’ award was also Drogba’s given by GQ. He
is a very important person all over the world because he is the
best footballer and a perfect person. I hope you have learned
about him. Maybe one day you will meet him!

“Before saying ‘I’ve
seen the entire world’
don’t forget 79% of
the world is water”
Scuba Diving is an enjoyable and a
desirable activity in the world. If you follow the rules, Scuba Diving is very safe.
However, it may be risky when standardized
safety rules are not followed. If you want to
enrol in a Scuba Diving course, you mustn’t
be overweight or physically disabled. Your
respiratory and circulatory systems must be
healthy. One of the most important things
is an asthma problem and it puts a stay on
diving. Scuba Divers can stay underwater
much longer than free divers. This period
depends on the apparatus but you can stay
for hours or even days. If you are 12yrs or
over, you can go scuba diving (while someone is diving, it is possible to see children
who are under 12). You can be free under
the water. For example, you can fly like a
bird, you can swim like a fish and you can
also do acrobatics like an acrobat. People
travelling a lot often claim that they have
seen the entire world. But they don’t realize that 79 % of that world is under water.
Just think of the amount of water and
try to see the rest of the unknown places
under it. I think the biggest problem is
speaking under the water. Everybody
says ‘’Communication will be difficult and
how we will explain our problems’’. For
this problem, there is always hand gestures or body language. I think everybody
knows at least a few of
them. Decompression
Sickness and Valsalva
Manoeuvre are the biggest dangers.
You must be calm and slow to reduce the
Decompression Sickness while going up
and down. You must also swallow often
to avoid Valsalva Manoeuvre. Wreck diving and Cave diving are some of the most
dangerous types of Scuba Diving. You
must know all the rules to go inside caves
and wrecks. If you want to die mercilessly
and also aimlessly, you should dive into a
cave or wreck without good information
beforehand. There are some diving rules
to obey. First of all, you mustn’t dive on
your own, you must dive with someone;
you must be with another person underwater. Secondly you need an apparatus
to dive. BC, Breathing Apparatus, Tank,
Mask, Fin and Octopus are the essential
equipment while diving. In addition to
them, you ought to carry a compact knife,
a torch and diving clothes with you. You
can go diving in beautiful Antalya if you
like. It is like a pool and a paradise of fish.
There are lots of wrecks that you can see.
Another place is Saros Bay, Aegean Sea.
This is a really nice place. Foreigners usually say that area is similar to the Red Sea.
It is near Istanbul and you can get there in
about 3 hours. For more information, you
can come and ask me! Ergün cOşKUN

Yavuz Sultan Selim’s
Answer To Shah İsmail
Once upon a time, there was a sultan who
was called Sultan Selim the Stern. One day,
Shah of Iran sent a box, which was full of
valuable items, jewels etc. to Sultan Selim.
He opened the box and saw the valuable
items, but there was a problem, there was
a bad smell and it got worse. Of course he
wondered a lot and wanted to find out where
that smell was coming from. Later when
all things were removed he saw a very bad
thing. It was fecal matter. So the Sultan got
very angry and wanted his men to gather a
response for the Shah! Soon the Sultan himself found an idea. They sent a box which
was the same as the one they had been
sent. There were valuable items, jewels etc.
for Shah İsmail in the box. When the Shah
opened it and removed all jewelry, he saw a
box of Turkish Delights but of course he got
suspicious about the box. After they ate the
Delights, Shah İsmail saw a letter which was
written by Sultan Selim. It said: “Everyone
sends his own food.”

about European exchange projects.In
these educations, the young people
learn how they can write projects, find
groups, find a partner and manage
the project. Our aim is to make more
groups and provide more youngsters
to attend to European Union projects
without giving money. Because according to us, joining a project means
learning lots of things, destroying
racism, doing cultural exchange and
taking responsibility against life.Our
students in the club have the facility to go abroad by the grants of the
European Union. Zift Organization
was founded in 2008. The organization consists of 22 groups which has
seven people each, in different 22 cities around Turkey. Groups work with
their own members But to manage
an approved project, the organisator
group wants Zift Organization’s aid.
Zift Organization sends some leaders, members or documents to the
organisator. If the organisator group
needs a partner from somewhere,
Zift Organization finds partners for
them. Istanbul Aydin University Zift

ho is Joey Guertin?
I’m Canadian, my hometown is Montréal.
I’m 37 years old, I can speak 4 languages and
I am learning Arabic at the moment. My dad is English
and my mum is French so when I was a child I learned
both languages. Later when I was around 20 years old, I
learned Italian up until intermediate but I forgot all of it.
As for my Turkish, my spoken level is intermediate “gibi”
but I’ve completed the upper intermediate level. In daily
conversations, we rarely use high grammar and vocabulary so I forgot a lot of it. But if I read something, I usually
understand. I’ve got 4 half-sisters and 1 half-brother but
I’m the youngest. I’ve never been married and I don’t
have children. I enjoy a life of freedom so if I was married
and had children, I wouldn’t be free to travel. So, I choose
to travel the world instead.
If you could choose any lifestyle, what would you do?
Actually, I would choose exactly what I have right now.
Being a teacher is the best thing that ever happened to
me. I’d choose to be sitting here with you and having this
interview.
How long have you been in Turkey?
It will be 3 years on the 8th of March.
What is your favourite quote for life?
It’s a simple one actually; it’s just one word ‘’live’’.
That’s my quote for life, just live.
Which events you’ve never forgotten?
It was very funny. When I was a child, we had a big
house. Behind the house there was a huge garage and I
used to play there a lot. My brother loved to do “gıcıklık”
and so he made a plan with my sisters. He told them to
tell me to go and get something from the dark and scary
garage at around 9pm. My sister told me and I said “No!”
so they told me again I said “No!!”. She added “Are you
scared?” I responded half scared, half proud “Of course
not!” So she responded ‘’Go and get it then if you are not
scared!” so I agreed and I started walking slowly, shaking
like a leaf. It was dark and even the door made a scary
noise while opening it. My brother was there, hidden with
a “Büyük peluş” attached to the ceiling. When I came
in, he threw it on me and “ben avaz avaz bağırdım”… I
screamed loudly. I’ll never forget it!!
Why did you decide to teach in Turkey?
Who
is Joey Guertin?
Naz DELİORMAN – Burak Göktuğ SİVRİ
Actually, it was an accident. I came here on holiday
and then I fell in love in Turkey. One day, I saw an ad on
the internet for an English teaching position. And I told
myself: ‘’Why not?’’ So, I sent my resume and 15 minutes later they answered me as they wanted to talk and
meet with me. So, I called them, and went to Bakırköy.
We had a 5 minute interview then he asked me to start on
Saturday, 2 days later!! I thought about it for a few minutes and told myself: “Why not!!... Yani, öyle başladı!”
What’s your first and dream car?
My first car!! I’m ashamed to admit but it was a very ugly
red 1984 Mercury Lynx. And my dream car... Hmm, actually it would be an old Volkswagen Beetle, green of course!!
Do you know any Turkish bands?
While I was learning Turkish, I used to listen to a lot
of Turkish music. In Canada, we only know Tarkan so I
started with him and he was my first ‘Turkish language
teacher’. I only listen to his Turkish songs as I was not very
keen on his English songs.
What do you think about Turkish history?
I think it’s fascinating. When I was in high school, in both
of my history classes, I had a project. In the 3rd class I made
a project about the Ottoman Empire and in the 5th class I
spoke about Atatürk. I got a really good grade from both
projects. So I learned a lot about your history, I found it really interesting and intriguing. ‘’Atatürk: bayağı etkilendim.’’
What is the most important moment in your life?
Moving to Turkey, actually. The crucial point was when
I decided to do it. One day, I told myself “yeter artık” so
I quit my job and started a new life. But I had a big goal
and that one day changed my life forever, look at me now.
If you truly want something, you can make it happen. All
you have to do is to believe and to fight for your dreams.
Who’s your best friend?
That is an impossible question because it means
only one!! Well, I have 3 really good and old friends…
Genevieve, my partner in crime, Simon, my confident and
Patricia my travelling companion.
Do you want to say something for students?
“I’d love to. Dear students, I believe in all of you. Well,
what I want to tell you guys is simple: BELIEVE IN
YOURSELF. You must always try and never give up…
you will succeed!”
A biography: Ferruccio Elio Arturo Lamborghini
Burak Göktuğ SİVRİ
Ferrucio Lamborghini was born
on the 28th of April 1916. He lived in
Emila-Romangra. He was a Italian industrialist. His parents were farmers.
His family taught him how to farm and
he learned a few things with the tractor.
He then opened a tractor factory in 1949.
Ferrucio got married three times. His first
wife was Clelia Monti. She died in 1947.
They together have got a son. His name
is Antonio. His second wife was Annila
Borgatti. They didn’t have any children
together and they got divorced. His third
wife was Maria Theresa Cane. They have
got a daughter. Her name is Patrizia.
Ferrucio took part in the Second World
War. After he was captured by the British
Army, he repaired cars there. When the
war ended, he went back home. First he
labored for Fiat Topolino in 1948. Later
he opened his own company. This factory
is called Lamborghini his surname. He
had did good business producing tractors.
After that he opened his second factory.
He installed air conditioning and central
heating systems and he got rich.
Ferrucio always loved driving cars. He
had a Mercedes SL300, Jaguar E-Type,
Alfa Romeo 1900, Lancia Aurelia B20
and Maserati 3500GT but that wasn’t
enough for him. He wanted to have a
Ferrari. Ferrucio bought a Ferrari but its
disc coupling became damaged. He went
to the Ferrari factory because he wanted
to get his Ferrari repaired but Ferrari
couldn’t repair his car and Ferruccio then
wanted to talk to Enzo Ferrari. Enzo said
‘’ A tractor manufacturer can never criticize the Ferrari.’’ Lamborghini’s heart
was broken but he didn’t give up. Actually
this sentence encouraged him to become
more ambitious. He repaired his Ferrari in
his own Lamborghini tractor factory. He
saw similar parts between the Ferrari and
his tractors. Lamborghini then employed
Ferrari’s former chief- engineer Gianpaolo
Dallara and their test driver Bob Wallace.
His purpose was to create a faster, more
durable and safer car than Ferrari’s.
He opened an exotic sport car factory.
This factory was opened in Santa Agate
Bolognese on the 30th of October 1963.
He gave his surname to the factory once
again. The symbol of the factory is a bull
because Ferruccio Lamborghini’s horoscope sign is Taurus and bulls are strong
animals. For this reason, he gave these
names to his car models, Miura, Islero,
Espada, Jamara, Diablo, Murcielago,
Gallardo, Reventon, Aventador.
Ferruccio Lamborghini didn’t want
his cars to join the car races. In the past,
Ferruccio himself was a race car driver. He
was a car pilot when he had an accident
and crashed while racing in Mille Miglia
in 1948 and since then he was opposed
to racing. Ferruccio improved his exotic
sport car factory in 1972 because there
was a high number of proposals for his
cars from South America. Later Ferruccio
had a business partner- Georges - Henri
Rosetti. One year later, Ferruccio transferred all of his shares of the company to
Rosetti and bought a farm and a vineyard
for himself. Ferruccio Lamborghini died
on the 20th of February 1993. He suffered
from a heart attack that unfortunately
took his life. Lamborghini was buried at
the Monumental Cemetery of the Certosa
di Bologna Monastery.

My Beyaz Show
Experience
Support Center!
I want to tell you about the day on which
I went and watched Beyaz Show in the audience. Firstly, I went to the Kanal D studio
at about 8 o’clock, 3 hours before the live
show. When I arrived at the building of Beyaz
Show’s studio, I was welcomed really well.
People who work there were very polite, honest, cheerful, friendly and helpful and I liked
all of them. It was really a very nice meeting I
believe. Secondly, we waited for almost one
and a half hours in a waiting room. While we
were waiting, they informed us about the live
show. So, we listened to them and later some
people who wanted to speak on TV entered
the “klostrohobi”, which is a cabin designed
for this part of the show and the others entered the studio and took their seats. Thirdly,
the Beyaz Show team members gave us some
blank papers to write down the answers for
some questions in which they asked. Later
we wrote something and gave the papers
back to them. And then, Beyazıt Öztürk
came into the studio and the whole audience
clapped and cheered him. He told some jokes
to us. Later he left the studio to get prepared
for the live show. Then, the live show started
and we watched them and laughed a lot and
listened to some music. When the live show
finished, we went out and lined up for a photo
with Beyazıt Öztürk. After taking photos, we
left the studio. From beginning to end, everything was absolutely perfect. I gave them
100 points… I think, all university students
should go to “Beyaz Show” at least once in
their lives.

Which behavior of Turkish people do you like? For example most people say Turkish men are really kind.
Turkish people are helpful when we compare them to

try to communicate with foreigners.

two years. This is the most important thing for me now.

Porsche.
What was your first job and where did you work?
I started working when I was at the age of 15. I was a

was. I worked as a salesperson. After these three months,

T
he presentation, which was
presented by Murat Kalelioğlu,
was very beneficial. Mr.
