THE END OF HEAVEN

Tears are swimming in the pool of aches and pains
Lies fly in the sky with an attempt to contradict reality
Honours are left in the pot from which I drink anguish
Hours are in the temptation to lose their originality
Minutes have embodied into an unknown realm
Desert my soul as in the very beginning of heart
Insert the sword of tensions into my very existence
Make me cry day and night, putting a trace of loneliness
Make me lose count of the seconds I feel inside your vein
Kill that insanity, turning me into a rush hour of emptiness
I have given into the time line that charges me with all the ups and downs
There is no expectation for me as to the coming and appearance of tomorrow
I am aware that the things to get born for me are the moments of sorrow
Terrified of that world and the ignition of that body, Okan bleeds like the murdered man
Asking who I really am, I bring myself to the kneels and hands of thunderous tan
The rhymes of any poem have become senseless and pointless as for the fragile turmoil
Now I am starting to make a preparation for the accumulation of gravestone soil

DİL ÖĞRENCİLERİNE OKAN HOCA TAVSİYELERİ

Sevgili öğrencilerim,

Bu Pazar uzun bir maratonun sonunda verdiğiniz emeklerin karşılığını almak için YDS sınavına gireceksiniz. Okan hocanız olarak bu sınava girmeden önce sizlere son tavsiyelerimi iletmek istedim.

1) Öncelikle girmiş olduğunuz ÖSS sınavındaki netlerinizle daha fazla kafanızı yormayın. O sınav geçmişte kaldı. Geçmişle uğraşmanın kimseye bir faydası yoktur. Sınav sonuçları gelmeden hiçbir şey belli olmaz. Hedefiniz şu dakikadan itibaren YDS olmalıdır.

2) YDS sınavına girdiğinizde tüm gücünüzü cümlelerin anlamlarını vermeye çalışmalısınız. Cümlelerin tamamını çevirmeden ya da anlam vermeden işaretleme yapmayın. Özellikle preposition sorularında ezbere göre soru çözmeyin. Mutlaka anlam verin. Gramer sorularında özelikle relative clause sorularında niteleme durumuna çok dikkat edin. Derslerde anlatılan teknikleri mutlaka hatırlayın.

3) Tutmuş olduğunuz notları ve hata defterinizi mutlaka gözden geçirin. Hata defterindeki eksiklerinizi defterinizden kontrol ediniz. Cumartesi günü ders çalışmayı bırakın. Beyninizi rahatlatan aktiviteler yapın. Örneğin; film seyredin. Etrafınızdaki insanlarla özellikle ailenizle kavga etmekten kaçının. Tabi burada velilere de çok iş düşmektedir. Okan hoca olarak velilerden bu konuda hassas davranmalarını rica ediyorum.

4) Size yöneltilecek soruların denemelerden farklı olmayacak. Bu yüzden Pazar günü yapılacak olan sınav son denemeniz olacak. Lütfen olaya bu gözle bakın.

5) Paragraf sorularında kendi yorumlarınızdan ziyade soruyu yazan kişinin mantığını tahmin etmeye çalışın. Unutmayın ki bu soruları yazan kişilerin yorumlarını bulmanız sizden istenmektedir. Bir ya da birkaç kelimenin anlamını bilemediğinizde sınavda karalar bağlamayın. Bunun size hiçbir faydası olmayacaktır. Lütfen hiçbir soruda takıntı yapmayın.

6) Hepinize ayrı ayrı çok güveniyorum. Dualarım sınavda sizinle beraber olacaktır.

Başarılarınızın sonsuz olması temennisiyle
