MALE Yan›m›zda kald›¤›n bir y›l boyunca annen-baban mümkün oldu¤u kadar çok fley

ö¤renmeni bekliyor senden.

FEMALE Tamam ama flimdi George arabada bekliyor. Gerçekten olumlu etkiliyor beni o. Hem

Çocuklu¤unuzda durmadan kitap okuyorsunuz diye bafl›n›z derde girdi mi hiç?

aras›ndaki fark› bilen kaç arkadafl›n›z var? Düflünün, onlar “keflke ben de zaman›m›

Onlar sa¤a sola baflvurup yana yak›la ifl ararken sizin güvenceli hem de sevdi¤iniz

7. Read the text and then answer in ENGLISH the questions that follow.

SANAT KÖfiES‹

Bu hafta, son günlerde hakk›nda pek çok mektup ald›¤›m Arabesk konusuna

de¤inece¤im. Arabesk, sözcü¤ü Arap tarz› anlam›n› tafl›r, sanatta bir üsluptur,

stildir, anlay›flt›r. Arabesk, dünyada mimariden resime, resimden müzi¤e

kadar çeflitli sanat dallar›nda görülür.

Türkiye’de 1950’lerden sonra Anadolu köylerinden flehirlere bafllayan yo¤un

göç nedeniyle arabesk kültürü flehirlerde daha çok hissedilmeye baflland›.

Köyden flehirlere göçenler sorunlar›n›, arabesk zevklerini ve müziklerini de

yanlar›nda getirdiler. 1980’lerden sonra alabildi¤ine artan arabesk, yoksul

mahallelerde oturan bu göçmen halk taraf›ndan çok sevilmekte ve yaflam›n

birçok alan›na bugün damgas›n› vurmaktad›r.

Arabesk müzi¤i yoksul insanlar›n düflüncelerini, karamsarl›klar›n› ve

umutlar›n› çok iyi sergilemektedir. Belki de o yüzden arabesk flark› ve

türkülere minibüs ya da yoksul mahalle müzi¤i denmektedir. Genellikle

arabesk müzi¤i, insanlar› kederlendirmekte ve fazla dinlendi¤inde

karamsarl›¤a sürüklemektedir.

Her ne kadar “Müzik ruhun g›das›d›r.” denilse de arabesk müzi¤in fazlas›

insanlar› bunal›ma sürükleyebilir. Bu yüzden, arabesk bestecilerinin, halk›n

sa¤l›¤›n› düflünerek, arabesk müzikte reform yapmalar› gerekir.

YÜKSELEN YILDIZ!!!

Y›ld›zlar Yar›flmas›n›n daha ikinci haftas›nda elenen ve elefltirmenler hakk›nda ver

yans›n eden Y›ld›z Günefl’i Türkiye’de tan›mayan pek kalmad› galiba. Müzik

sayfam›z için, Y›ld›z Han›m’›n yar›flmayla ve kendisiyle ilgili görüfllerini alma

görevi maalesef bana verildi. Kald›¤› otele geldi¤imde koltu¤a rahatça yay›lm›fl,

t›rnaklar›n› törpülüyordu. Bana zaman ay›rd›¤› için kendisine teflekkür ettikten sonra

yar›flmaya neden kat›ld›¤›n› sordum:

“Arkadafllar› k›ramazd›m. Sesin çok güzel, neden kat›lm›yorsun? deyip durdular, eh

kat›ld›m iflte”…

Biraz duraklad› sonra “Asl›nda benim için bu yar›flma çok önemli de¤il. Erovizyon

falan olsa neyse.”

Derin bir soluk al›p, panel hakk›ndaki görüfllerini sordum. Kendinden emin bir

tarzda “Türkan fiirin de kim oluyor? Müzikten ne anlar o? O sadece televizyon

sunucusu ama elefltirileriyle insan›n moralini bozmay› da iyi beceriyor. Giydi¤in

elbisenin müzikle ne alakas› var yani?” dedi.

Bu sorular› yan›tlamaya hiç niyetim yoktu, susup dinlemeyi tercih ettim: “Derya

Durmaz baflka bir alem. Daha kendisi yeni bir sanatç›, orada olmay› hakediyormufl

gibi kalkm›fl müzik elefltirmeni olmufl. Ben yaln›z Erkan Zaman’›n elefltirilerine

de¤er veriyorum.”

Yar›flmadan hemen elenmesine ra¤men Y›ld›zc›k, kendisine, sesine ve fizi¤ine

güveniyor. Sesinin harika oldu¤unu vurgulad›¤›nda, hiç düflünmeksizin, “Sahi mi?

diye sordu¤umu duydum.

Y›ld›z olman›n pek kolay olmad›¤›n›, çok emek, yetenek ve e¤itim isteyen bir ifl

oldu¤unu söyledi¤imde, Y›ld›z konunun önemini geçifltiriverdi:

“Ben yetenekliyim ayol. Allah vergisi bir sesim var. Çocuklu¤umdan beri emek de

verdim bu ifle. Her gün flark› söylüyorum ben biliyor musunuz? Banyoda bile flark›

söylüyorum. Kendimi yetifltiriyorum. Televizyondan devaml› müzik programlar›n›

izliyorum. Ünlü olmak için daha ne yapay›m ki?”

Bir an söyleyecek söz bulamad›m, sonra “Yani sizin gibi banyoda bile flark›

söyleyen herkes y›ld›z olabilir mi? Üstelik jüri sesiniz için çok detone, terbiye

görmemifl filan bir ses demedi mi?” diye sorabildim.

Hiç oral› olmadan yine umursamaz bir edayla:

“Dedi ama ben de¤il Türkiye, dünya çap›nda bir y›ld›z olaca¤›m. Bu hafta

elendi¤ime ald›rmay›n siz, onlar sadece benim ünümü artt›rd›lar.” diye vurgulad›.

“Ne kadar do¤ru, baksana ben bile seninle görüflüyorum” demek geçti akl›mdan,

ama ona baflar›l› bir gelecek dilemekle yetindim ve vedalaflt›m. Görüflme için bana

teflekkür etti ve “Eminim yine görüflece¤iz ama o zaman bu kadar kolay randevu

vermem yani.” dedi.

Onu hayalleriyle baflbafla b›rakt›m.

GENÇLER NEREYE G‹D‹YOR?

Bu haftaki yaz›mda gençlerden söz edece¤im. Hani flu gelece¤imizi, Cumhuriyetimizi

teslim edece¤imizi sand›¤›m›z gençlerden. Allah korusun hepimizi onlardan!

Ben de¤il gelece¤imizi, bugünümüzü bile teslim etmem onlara. Neden derseniz, bir

kere hiçbirisinde öz disiplin yok, bencillik çok. Hiçbir ça¤da görülmemifl, inan›lmaz

bir bencillik yaflan›yor günümüzde.

Bir de her yere geç gitmeye al›flm›fllar. Okula geç gidiliyor, aile sofras›na geç geliniyor,

arkadafllarla buluflmaya geç kal›n›yor, gece vakti eve geç mi geç teflrif ediliyor.

Okulu bitirip ifle baflvurduklar›nda ya da ifle bafllad›klar›nda ne olacak? Yapt›klar› iflten

ne hay›r gelecek? Hayata haz›rl›k, sorumluluk diye bir fley bilmiyorlar.

Gençleri hayata haz›rlamak, topluma katk›da bulunan yurttafllar olarak yetifltirmek çok

mu zor? Bu durumda kabahatli kim? Her ne kadar “E¤itim ailede bafllar.” desek de

sorumlu bence okul dedi¤imiz kurum de¤il mi? Yaln›zca ders ö¤retmekle bitmez ki ifl.

Okul ise “Ana-baba görevini tam yapsa, sonuç böyle olmaz. Etraf›n›zdaki baflar›l›

gençlere ve ailelerine bir bak›n.” deyip ç›k›yor iflin içinden.

Siz ne dersiniz? Kabahat kimde acaba?

BOOKWORMS WANTED

Did you have a hard time as a child because you were reading constantly?

Did your friends tease and bully you in your adolescence for the very same reason?

Now is the time for revenge!

Here is how: The City Library is providing jobs to bookworms like you. Your love of books is now

opening doors for you. Keep studying at University and work at the library in your

spare time. You don’t need any experience for this job. We are certain that a young

bookworm like you can sort the books according to their subjects easily and place the

books neatly on their shelves. For example how many of your friends can tell the

difference between Mustafa Kemal, Orhan Kemal and Yaflar Kemal? Imagine, while

your friends are feeling sorry saying that ‘I wish I was a bookworm too’, you will be

earning money working at times that are convenient to you.

While they are desperately looking for work, they will see that you are working away

on a job that is secure and that you enjoy and they will envy you. You wouldn’t take

better revenge of those who once teased you, would you?

Please send your written application by 19 November.

Your job is waiting for you!

Dear Listeners,

This is Emine Demir from the Youth Radio. We are in front of the concert hall now. Theexcitement is at its peak. Serkan’s voice is loud and clear. You should feel the electricity in theatmosphere (air).

There is also a lot of noise outside. People who missed out on concert tickets are excitedlywaiting to at least catch a glimpse of Serkan at the end of the concert.

I…, I…, I am dear listeners very excited too. Look where the man who sold shoes at the grandBazaar only five years ago is now. Who would have thought that Serkan who grew up in poverty withouta mother would turn out to be a famous pop star and come to Australia for a concert?

I will be talking with him in a few minutes. My questions are ready, but I’m shaking a bit andthinking that I am so lucky.

Yeeess, listeners, I am now walking slowly towards Serkan’s make-up room.

Yes, it is only a matter of time for me to meet Serkan.

Yes, listeners, I am at the door, the door of Serkan’s make-up room.(Knock, knock, knock.)

ARGUMENT ABOUT EARRINGS

MOTHER Where are you off to Eren? Wait, wait. What’s that terrible thing on your ear?

SON What mum? Don’t you always say that ‘times have changed so much’? There are so manypeople wearing earrings. Why can’t I?

MOTHER If you went out like that I’d die. Don’t you dare go out like that. Take it off. If your fathersees it he’ll be very angry.

SON I don’t care who sees it. I’m sick and tired of being treated like a child.

MOTHER Come to your senses son. In our culture men don’t wear earrings. Who are you trying toimitate? Does Salih or Ekrem wear earrings?

SON I’m not trying to imitate anyone mum. I want to be ‘me’. You never let me do anything Iwant to. I like wearing earrings, OK?

MOTHER Don’t be ridiculous, remember the episode with the $10?

SON Yeah, that’s right. The earring is not the issue mum. You just don’t trust me. I told a lie twoyears ago and you never forgot that.

Question 7

ARTS CORNER

My topic this week is Arabesque about which I received so many lettersrecently.

The word arabesque means Arabic style; it is an art form, it is anunderstanding. Arabesque is reflected (can be seen) around the world invarious art forms ranging from architecture to painting, from painting tomusic.

In Turkey after the 1950s the arabesque culture has been more evident in thecities as a result of massive migration from villages to cities. Those migrantsbrought their problems, their arabesque taste and their music with them to thecity. The widespread arabesque style seen after 1980s is well liked by thesemigrants who live in poor neighbourhoods.

The arabesque music displays the, thoughts, pessimism and hopes of poorpeople. Maybe that’s why it is named as the music for the ‘minibus, and thepoor neighbourhood.’. Generally the arabesque music saddens people and iflistened too much it leads to pessimism.

Even though ‘Music is the food for the soul.’ too much of Arabesque musiccan lead to depression. Therefore arabesque music writers should makereforms in their music thinking of people’s wellbeing.

Question 8

A RISING STAR!!!

It seems like everyone has heard of Y›ld›z Günefl, who has been eliminated at only the second week ofthe Star Search Contest and then bitterly critised the panel. I was unfortunately assigned to interviewher for our Music Corner and find out more about her views on the contest and herself. When I arrivedat the hotel (where she was staying), she was sitting quite comfortably filing her nails. After I thankedher for giving me her time, I asked her why she entered the contest. She said she ‘could not let herfriends down.’ They kept saying she had a great voice so there she was.

She paused for a moment then said ‘after all this is not an important contest for me, it is not Eurovisionor anything.’

(After a deep breath) I asked her views about the panel of judges. Confidently she said ‘Who doesTürkan fiirin think she is anyway?’ ‘What does she know about music?’ ‘She is only a presenter on TV,she knows how to upset contestants really well. What do your clothes have to do with music?’

I had no intention of answering these questions. I chose to listen and she went on and on . . . ‘DeryaDurmaz is something else, isn’t she? She is a new performer, but there she was as a panel member, asif she deserves to be there. I only value Erkan Zaman’s comments really.’

Although she was quickly eliminated from the contest Y›ld›z believes in herself, her voice and herfigure, she stressed that her voice was great.

Without thinking I found myself asking ‘really?’ then I said that it was not easy to become a star, thatit would require a lot of effort, talent and training. She brushed it off saying ‘I am talented. Allah giftedme a great voice. I have been working on it since I was a child. I sing every day you know even in theshower . . . I train myself. I also watch music programs on TV all the time. What else can I do tobecome famous?

Nothing sprang to mind.

I then asked ‘so you think that everyone who sings every day even in the shower like you can becomea star? Furthermore didn’t the judges say you were out of tune, untrained etc.?’

She did not seem disturbed when she answered: ‘They did, but I am going to be a star anyway not onlyin Turkey but in the world. Don’t you worry about my elimination. They just added to my success.’

‘How true’ I thought. ‘Even I am having an interview with you’. I felt like saying; but I sufficed to wishher a successful future and said goodbye. She thanked me and said ‘ I am sure we will meet again butyou won’t get an interview this quickly then.’ I left her with her dreams.

Question 9

WHERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE GOING?

My topic this week is youth. You know, the young people to whom we hopeto hand over our future and our Republic. God save us all from them!

I wouldn’t hand over our present to them let alone our future. If you ask why,firstly they have no self-discipline but plenty of selfishness. Nowadays we areface to face with an incredible selfishness that has not been seen ever before.

Another thing is that they are in the habit of going everywhere late. Going toschool late, coming to the family dinner table late, going to meet friends lateand coming home at night later than late.

What will happen when they finish school, apply for jobs or start working?What good will they do in their jobs? They don’t know anything aboutreadiness for life or responsibility.

Is it too difficult to prepare young people for life and bring them up as citizenswho are contributing to society? Who is responsible for this? Even though wesay that education starts in the family, isn’t the school the responsible party?Just teaching the kids is not enough. The school evades the issue and says ‘ifparents did their parenting properly the outcome would be different. Look atall the successful young people and their families around you.’

What do you think? Whose fault is it?
