Alıştırma 1. Read Yes Man changed my life and answer the questions.
2 boşluk- YES MAN CHANGED MY LIFE
- by Richard Collins
- Yes Man is the best book I’ve ever read. It’s the true story of a year in the life of author, Danny Wallace. Before Danny Wallace became the ‘Yes Man’, his life was boring and he felt old. So he decided to make things more exciting. He started saying “yes” to every question people asked him. And he did it for a whole year. From the day he started, it completely changed his life and he had all kinds of adventures.
- It’s a fantastic story. When I finished the book, I wanted to change my life like Danny Wallace. So I took some holiday from work, and became a ‘Yes Man’ for a week. This is what happened.
- Day One
- I started on Saturday morning. At 10 am, I got my first question. I saw a poster in the window of a travel agent’s. It said, “Tired?” (Yes – I slept badly the night before, so I was tired). Under this, it said, “Do you need a holiday?” (Yes, definitely.) So I went in.
- The travel agent asked me where I wanted to go. But before I could answer, she said, “Somewhere hot?”
- I don’t like hot weather, but I said, “Yes.”
- “A beach holiday? Maybe in Greece?”
- I don’t like the beach. I prefer cities. But I said, “Yes.”
- “What kind of accommodation? A hotel? Or a ”
- I hate hotels, but before she could continue, I said, “Yes.”
- Five minutes later everything was ready. My flight was the next day.
- Day Two
- I arrived at my hotel on the island of Zante at lunchtime. It was very, very hot. I just wanted to check in and unpack my suitcase, but the receptionist said, “We have a minibus to the beach in ten minutes. Do you want to go?”
- You know the answer I gave her.
- It was about 40°C at the beach. Luckily, I brought suntan lotion. A man came towards me: “Sunglasses? Do you want sunglasses?”
- I had some in my bag, but I said, “Yes.”
- Five minutes later, another man came: “Beautiful hat, sir?” I tried not to look at him.
- Three hours later, I had two pairs of sunglasses, three hats, a watch and a woman’s necklace.
- It was difficult to carry all my new things back to the minibus.
- I decided: no trips tomorrow, just rest. When I got back, the receptionist asked, “Did you like the beach?”
- I didn’t, but I said, “Yes.”
- “Oh, there’s a water skiing course tomorrow. Do you want me to book a place for you?”
- I can’t swim very well and I don’t like the sea. I wanted to cry

Alıştırma 2. Read Tim’s travel blog about arriving in Jakarta, Indonesia. Choose the topic he does not write about.
- Indonesian Adventure
- TUESDAY 22ND APRIL
- JAKARTA – EVENING
- We’ve arrived and it’s really exciting! It was a long flight, but I slept most of the way, so I’m not tired. When I got off the plane, I noticed the heat first – 32 degrees! It’s really humid, because this is the rainy season.
- Everything they say about the roads in Jakarta is true! When we left the airport, there was a huge traffic jam. It took a very long time to get to the centre of town.
- We got a taxi to the hostel (where we’re staying). The taxi driver was very friendly, but he didn’t speak much English. I just showed him the address of the hostel on a piece of paper and he brought us here. I think we paid him too much, because he seemed very happy when he drove away! Sam’s telling me to get ready to go and eat, so I have to finish now – more tomorrow.
- WEDNESDAY 23RD APRIL
- JAKARTA – THE NEXT DAY!
- Sam and I had a delicious meal last night in a small local restaurant – we were the only tourists there, so it seemed to be a place for local people. I decided to have nasi goreng because it’s the Indonesian national dish. It was really fresh and full of flavour. I felt tired when I got back to the hostel and fell asleep immediately.
- Today we visited the Old Town. There are lots of old buildings in different styles. They’re very attractive and very different from anything you see in the UK. I took a lot of photos ...
