Başarılı olan öğrenciler bölümlerden ders alacak, yeterli puanı alamayan öğrenciler, İYS-1 başarı sıralamalarına göre seviye sınıflarına ayrılarak, İngilizce hazırlık eğitimlerine başlayacaklardır.

Example:

JESSICA MATTHEWS

 

Jessica Matthews went to her uncle’s wedding in Nigeria. As a Nigerian American, Jessica visited every summer to see her cousins and other family members. She was not surprised when there was a power cut, or ‘black out’ because the electricity usually went off at least once a day. She was not surprised when the family used kerosene lamps (which are smelly and unhealthy) so that the wedding could continue. But Jessica was upset by her cousins’ reaction. ‘Don’t worry about the lamps’, they said. ‘You’ll get used to them.’

Jessica didn’t understand why her cousins accepted the situation as normal. In contrast, the children around her in Nigeria thought anything was possible when it came to football. They wanted to play like Pele, like Ronaldo — and they believed this dream would come true. Jessica wished they could play and have the opportunity to change their society.

Two years after the wedding, Jessica had the idea for an invention during a science class at university. She combined the problem of power cuts with the solution of football: she wanted to build a football that created energy. Since that class in 2008, she’s been working hard to find out.

In 2011, Jessica started a company called Uncharted Play. It took several years to develop her football, and people in the sports industry said it would never work. But after many different designs, the finished football — called a Socket ball — works perfectly. It is only 28 grams heavier than a normal ball, but inside it contains special technology. The movement of the football creates power. After 30 minutes of play, the ball can power a small lamp for 3 hours. In fact, every ball comes with a free lamp too! Uncharted Play also developed a skipping rope that uses the same technology.

Jessica still sells the Socket ball, but her business has developed and grown. In the company’s New York office, Jessica has invented new products using the same idea of energy from movement.

 

1. What does “black out” mean in the first paragraph?
2. A lights out; leaving in a hurry.
3. A period of time when electricity stops working.
4. A feeling of consciousness after fainting.
5. A period of time when electricity comes on again.

 

2. According to the text, why was Jessica sad?
3. Her cousins accepted some difficult conditions as normal.
4. She believed that Nigerian children were eager to change their society.
5. Football is very dominant in Nigeria and affects children badly.
6. She couldn’t find any solutions to the problem of power cuts in Nigeria.

 

3. The Socket ball _____________________________________
4. was accepted by the sports industry at the beginning.
5. broke down after 30 minutes at the first match.
6. didn’t create power at all as expected by the inventor.
7. took several years to complete and  reach its final design.

 

4. The word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________________.
5. football that creates energy
6. her company name
7. a normal football
8. a skipping rope
