Örnek Akademik Dinleme Metni :
The United Kingdom is a large island located in Europe. It also includes part of
the island of Ireland. It is made up of four nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and
Northern Ireland. Over 60 million people live in the United Kingdom. The vast
majority of the population, however, lives in England. The government of the United
Kingdom is considered a constitutional monarchy. A constitutional monarchy is a
government in which the monarch (king or queen) is head of state. Queen Elizabeth II
is the monarch of the United Kingdom. In reality, however, she exercises very little
political power.
The history of the United Kindgom is full of wars, invasions, revolutions, and
interesting rulers. Numerous castles, fortifications, old cathedrals, and ruins are
evidence of the kingdom's past. The "UK," as it is often called, was once the world's
most powerful nation. Canada, Australia, India, Pakistan, and even the United States
are among nations that used to be controlled by the United Kingdom. It is also the
birthplace of the English language.
There are many remarkable landmarks to see in the United Kingdom such as
the Tower of London, Big Ben, Oxford University and the mysterious Stonehenge.
Oxford University, founded sometime in the 12th century, is the oldest university in
the English speaking world. Many of the United Kingdom's former prime ministers
attended Oxford. Stonehenge, located near Salisbury, England, is a group of giant
standing stones arranged in a circular formation. Archaeologists believe the formations
are over 4,500 years old. No one knows exactly what Stonehenge is meant to
represent.
Örnek sorular :
1. Queen Elizabeth …………………………………
a. runs all the political parties effectively
b. has zero interest in politics
c. wants to establish a new political party
d. does not deal with political issues much in practise

A Success Story
"Katty" Murray is an American inspirational speaker who is best known for her
incredible story of being homeless in her youth, and then overcoming her hardships to
achieve success. This is her story.
Born in 1980 in the Bronx, New York, Katty’s earliest memories are of her parents
spending their welfare payment to buy drugs, while she and her sister went hungry. The girls
survived on ice cubes—sometimes even having to eat toothpaste to satisfy their hunger. Katty
was often bullied by other kids at school for being smelly and looking unclean, and was
eventually forced to drop out of school.
Katty’s mother always told her that ‘one day life is going to be better.’ However, still
repeating those words, she died of complications from AIDS when Katty was just 15 years
old. When Katty’s father could no longer take care of himself and moved into a homeless
shelter, Katty and her sister were out on the streets. Her sister managed to find shelter on a
friend’s sofa, but Katty slept on New York City’s 24-hour underground trains, or on park
benches.
With the words of her mother still ringing in her ears—‘one day life is going to be
better’—Katty had an epiphany. Katty decided that she had to make her own life better now,
or maybe it never would be. She had nowhere to live and had not attended school regularly
for several years, but Katty pledged to become a straight-A student and complete her highschool education by the time she was 19 years old.
Katty attended day and night classes. Studying in a friend’s hallway, she completed a
year’s work in one term. Katty’s dedication caught the eye of one of her teachers, and he
agreed to mentor her. A year later when he took 10 of his top students on a visit to Harvard
University, Katty just stood outside the university, admiring its beauty. Her mentor decided
then and there that Katty might just have what it takes to make it into Harvard. That’s when
Katty heard that the New York Times gave scholarships.
Katty graduated from high school in just two years. She was awarded the New York
Times scholarship for needy students and was accepted to Harvard University in 2000.
Although she was forced to leave in 2001 to take care of her sick father, Katty returned to
Harvard in 2006 and graduated in 2009. Despite all the hardships, Katty never stopped loving
her parents and never doubted that they loved her. She says that they were highly intelligent
people who allowed drug dependence and eventually poverty to take over their lives. Katty
now spends her time and effort making sure that this situation does not happen to others.
Since her graduation from Harvard, Katty has continued her education while
publishing a book of her memoirs. She has met Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton. She has
spoken alongside the Dalai Lama, Tony Blair, and Mikhail Gorbachev. She is the founder and
director of Manifest Living, a company that provides a series of workshops that empowers
adults to create the extraordinary in their lives.
Katty talks to teenagers about resisting the temptations of drugs and gangs. She also
urges them not to use childhood hardship as an excuse not to take opportunities. Katty doesn’t
want her Harvard education and clean appearance now to overshadow her story.
“Remember,” she says, “I was one of those people on the streets you walk away from.”
