Sevgili Ö¤renciler,
‹nsanlar neden seyahat ederler diye kendimize bir soral›m. Neden kendi evlerinin rahat ortam›ndan ayr›l›p bir baflka ülkeye veya kendi ülkelerinde bile olsa bir
baflka kente gidip gezmek isterler? Ço¤u kez bu isteklerinin alt›nda merak duygusu yatar. ‹nsano¤lu bilmediklerini ö¤renmek, görmediklerini görmek ve farkl› deneyler yaflamak ister. Bu merak ve istek de günümüzde milyonlarca insan›n farkl›
yönlere ve yerlere seyahat etmesi anlam›na geliyor. Bu seyahatler para kazanmak
amac› gütmeden keyif amaçl› yap›ld›klar› zaman da ad›na turizm deniyor.
‹nsano¤lunun yolculuk yapma iste¤i 20. veya 21.yüzy›la ait bir olgu de¤il. Tarih boyunca insanl›k gezmifl, gezmeyi sevmifl. Tarihçiler, ilk turistlerin veya gezme merakl›lar›n›n Romal›lar oldu¤unu söylüyor. Merak ettikleri yerlere rahat ulaflabilmek için yol haritalar› haz›rlay›p, konaklama yerlerini iflaretlemifller. Günümüzde, ça¤dafl seyyah daha h›zl› veya daha rahat seyahat etme flans›na sahip. Ancak, yine de davran›fllar›n›n veya isteklerinin Romal› seyyahlardan farkl› oldu¤unu söyleyemeyiz. Gidece¤i yere rahat ulaflmak, ulafl›mda kolayl›k, konaklamada
rahatl›k, gitti¤i yerde hoflça vakit geçirmek, iyi karfl›lanmak, iyi a¤›rlanmak, evine
döndü¤ü zaman da gitti¤ime de¤di diyebilmek.
‹flte bu aflamada onlar›n yolculuklar›n› kolaylaflt›racak ve daha zevkli hale getirecek olan turizm çal›flanlar› devreye giriyor. E¤er bir bireyde gezme iste¤i oluflmuflsa, bu iste¤in olufltu¤u andan itibaren, evinde oturuyor bile olsa, bir süreç bafll›yor. Planlama, ulafl›m, konaklama, gezi program› gibi aflamalar› içeren bir süreç.
Bu sürecin yolculuk yapan kifli için sorunsuz geçmesini sa¤lamak da turizm
sektörünün farkl› alanlar›nda çal›flan sizlere düflüyor. Gelen turistler, daha do¤rusu konuklar ile iyi iletiflim kurmak, onlara yard›mc› olmak, onlar› evlerinde hissettirmek ve gerekti¤i zaman onlara bilgi aktarmak hep sizlerin sorumlulu¤unda.
“English for Tourism” kitaplar›n›z› haz›rlarken tüm bu aflamalar› ve iletiflim ihtiyaçlar›n› göz önünde bulundurmaya çal›flt›k. Bu iki kitapl›k serinin ilkinde size
‹ngilizce birebir iletiflim kurma becerileri kazand›rmaya yönelik konulardan oluflan bir kitap haz›rlad›k. Bu serinin ikinci kitab›n›n alan›n›za yaklafl›m› birinciye
göre biraz daha farkl› oldu.
“English for Tourism II” kitab›nda Planning a Trip; Tours and Tour Guides;
Types of Tourism; Mass Tourism; Niche Tourism: Health Tourism, Ecotourism, Faith Tourism gibi turizm alan›na daha genel bir bak›fl aç›s› sa¤layan konular bulacaks›n›z. Günümüzde turizm ve turist kavramlar›nda farkl› yaklafl›mlar›n olufltu¤unu ve daha özelleflmifl turizm türlerinin var oldu¤unu düflünecek olursak bu seçimimizin do¤rulu¤u anlafl›lacakt›r. Kitab›n›z ayr›ca ülkemizle ilgili bilgilerle de donat›ld›. UNESCO’nun Dünya Kültürel Miras› listesine giren ülkemiz görsel zenginliklerinin yan› s›ra, zengin kültürel miras›m›z, müzi¤imiz, mutfa¤›m›z gibi konularda da sizlere bilgi aktarmaya çal›flt›k. Kitab›n›z›n son ünitesi ise turizm alan›nda
s›kça rastlayaca¤›n›z yaz›flma örnekleri içeriyor.
Önsöz
Kitab›m›zda sekiz ünite bulacaks›n›z. ‹lk kitab›n›zda oldu¤u gibi, her ünitenin
kendi içerisinde okuma, okudu¤unu anlama, dilbilgisi aç›klamalar› ve ünitenin
kapsad›¤› konu ile ilgili olan ‹ngilizce kal›psal yap›lar›n bulundu¤u bölümler bulacaks›n›z. Bu bölümler sizin ‹ngilizce dil bilginizi gelifltirmek ve katk›da bulunmak için haz›rland›. Özellikle, kal›p kullan›mlar› çal›flman›z ve günlük yaflam›n›zda da uygulaman›z›n dil gelifliminizi h›zland›raca¤›na inan›yoruz. Her ünitemizin
sonunda ‘Faydal› Bilgiler’ bafll›¤› alt›nda bir ek bölüm bulacaks›n›z. Bu bölümde,
ünitenin konusuna göre farkl› alanlarda size alan bilgisi sunmaya çal›fl›yoruz. Ülkemizi ve kültürümüzü anlatan bu bölümlerin konuklar›n›za bilgi aktar›rken sizlere ›fl›k tutaca¤›na inan›yoruz.
Her üniteyi size verilen takvime göre düzenli çal›flman›z, ünitelerde yer alan
sorular› yan›tlaman›z ve elden geldi¤ince uygulamada kullanman›z konulara hakim olman›z ve anlam›n›z için yeterli olacakt›r.
Her iki kitab› haz›rlarken iki farkl› yaklafl›m› birlefltirmeye çal›flt›k. Size s›rf dil
a¤›rl›kl› bir kitap haz›rlayarak mesle¤inizle ilgili konular› d›flar›da b›rakmak istemedik. Ancak, bizler turizm alan› uzmanlar› da de¤iliz, size s›rf turizm içerikli bir
kitap da sunamazd›k. Sonunda orta yolu bularak her iki alan› da birlefltirmeye çal›flan bu kitab›m›z› size sunuyoruz.
Hepinize baflar›lar dileriz.

Planning a Trip in 10 Steps
Step 1: Establish a Budget
It’s important to establish a budget as early as possible, sometimes even before
you know your destination, travel dates or itinerary. Some destinations are generally
cheaper than others, but there are ways to save everywhere: travel in the offseason, pick budget accommodations, and plan a shorter trip.
Step 2: Pick a Destination
Now that you know how much you can spend, you can decide on where you
want to go! Pick a particular place that’s on your must-see travel list, and plan your
vacation around that. Research it online and discuss it with family members or
friends. Websites are a great place to browse travel photos, journals and videos
posted by real people sharing their experiences. Visit countries’ tourism Web sites
Resim 1.1

4
for detailed information.Keep in mind weather conditions, types of recreations
(beaches, culture, shopping), and facilities (transport, eating out, etc.).
Step 3: Create a Rough Itinerary
Suppose you want to go to Turkey. Don’t go ahead and buy a roundtrip flight to
Istanbul and reserve a hotel room — at least, not yet. You should prepare a dayby-day itinerary of your trip to Turkey before you book a thing. Research sites and
cities you really want to explore, and then figure out which ones you have the
time and budget for. Check out alternative ways of travel to your destination.
Step 4: Set a Date and Book Transportation
After choosing where you want to go and deciding on the dates, you will also
want to look at transportation options. As transportation fare will probably be the
most expensive part of your trip, you’ll want to book it before anything else (car
rental, hotel, etc.). If your schedule is flexible, you may be able to find less
expensive rates for transportation on different days of the week. Once you get an
idea of prices you can choose to book them right away if it fits your budget, or if
you are more than six months away from your trip, watch them for a while. Check
the prices at different times of the day to see if they drop so that you can save
some extra money.
Step 5: Book Accommodation
When booking accommodations, consider two factors: value for the money and
traveler reviews. Everyone likes to get a good deal, but check out travel websites
and read about other travelers’ experiences to see if the location would be to your
liking. Pay attention to the area of the lodging and determine if it is close enough
to local attractions for you. Also consider factors such as free breakfast, a gym or
spa if those things are important to you.
Step 6: Book Local Transportation
Find out how the locals get around the destination to which you’re traveling, and
act accordingly. You won’t need a car rental in city centers where subways, buses,
or bicycles are among options. For intercity travel, trains or buses can be good
options. Also, a car rental may be your best bet if you plan to go outside the city.
Book your rental car by using the websites of major car rental companies. Be
mentally prepared to drive in a foreign country, which can be a horrifying
experience when faced with incomprehensible traffic signs, narrow streets or
roadblocks.
Step 7: Search for Attractions
When you finish planning your transportation and accommodations, begin
researching about what you plan to do while you are at your destination. This is
the point where you check out all the details such as museums to visit or favorite
local restaurants to eat at. Be flexible and give yourself plenty of options.
Step 8: Consider Travel Insurance
There are several kinds of travel insurance: trip cancellation insurance, flight
cancellation insurance, medical insurance, etc. If you want to buy travel insurance,
many airlines and travel providers sell insurance that you can purchase. Check
5
1. Ünite - Planning A Trip
your medical insurance coverage to see if you’re covered abroad. If not, you may
want to purchase supplemental medical insurance.
Step 9: Plan for Key Logistics
Start taking care of the key logistics such as money or phone a few weeks before
your departure date. Call your credit card companies to let them know you’ll be
traveling abroad. Research the locations of ATM’s in your destination. Find weather
your cell phone plan and equipment allow you to make calls abroad. In addition,
check whether the country you want to visit requires an entry visa. If you plan to
rent a car, do not forget to check whether you need an international driver’s license.
Step 10: Pack
Instead of packing the day before your trip, start thinking about it at least a week
before you leave. Check the weather, put together a packing list, and take a look
at your suitcase to make sure its wheels work and everything’s going to fit.

Rental Car Agent :
Situation 1:
Brian is planning a trip to Turkey with his son.
He wants to reserve a rental car for traveling
from Istanbul to Eskisehir. He searches the
websites of major rental car companies but he
finds all the information and options quite
confusing, so he decides to call the local car
rental agency to get a better idea. The
following is the phone conversation between
Brian and the rental car agent:
Good morning. Thank you for calling Happy Wheels Rental
Car Company. My name is Jason. How may I help you?
Hi. I’d like get a quote for a rental in Istanbul, Turkey.
Sure! I can help you with a quote and a reservation. What is
the pick-up date?
August 15th.
And you are returning on?
On the 25th.
OK! And the pick-up location?
What are your locations in Istanbul?
Just a second please! ... Well, we have three locations in
Istanbul: Ataturk International Airport, Sabiha Gökçen
International Airport, and Taksim.
I’ll be staying at my friend’s apartment; it’s pretty close to
Taksim; so I guess Taksim will be fine for me.
All right. I put Taksim for pick-up... Will you return it to the
same location?
Our flight back to the U.S.A. is on the 25th, can I return it to
Ataturk International Airport?
Sure, no problem! But the price will be a little higher.
OK! I’ll return it to Ataturk International Airport then.
All right. So I put Ataturk International as the return location.
... Do you have a size in mind?
Yes, I want a mid-size car.
Rental Car Agent : OK. Let me check to
see if we have one
available on your
dates... Hmmm. It’s
doesn’t look like we
do. We have a couple
of economy, compact,
and full-size cars
available.
Well, what is the main difference between these cars?
The main difference is size. The economy car is the smallest,
and it seats fewer passengers and can hold fewer luggages...
How many people are with you?
Just me and my son.
Well, the economy car would work.

But I’m really tall and trying squeeze into a very small car. I
don’t think so.
Well, if you need more room or comfort, I recommend the
full-size car. It also has a nice stereo system, CD player, and
cruise control, and power locks and windows.
Well, I’m not so concerned about how it’s equipped. I just
want to make sure it is comfortable to drive. And what is the
daily rate for that anyway?
Well, let’s see here. Oh, yeah. It’ll come to fifty-seven ninetyfive a day.
Wow, a little expensive. But what’s the cost for mileage?
All of our cars have unlimited miles, but of course, that
doesn’t include gas.
Good... By the way, I’ll need a car seat installed in the car
for my 3-year-old son.
Sure, and that’ll only be one dollar extra per day. Will you
need a GPS device, it’s only three dollars extra per day, and
I strongly recommend one if you are not familiar with the
roads in Turkey.
Yeah, of course. Thanks for reminding that to me, I’ll
definitely need one.
All right. So your estimated total comes to six-hundred and
nineteen dollars and fifty cents.
How about insurance?
Well, this price includes the liability, if you want a loss
damage waiver, it is eight dollars per day.
What’s the difference?
The liability is the basic insurance that covers other people
or vehicles in the event of an accident. Loss damage waiver
provides coverage for the car you are driving.
I get it. I don’t think I need that because my credit card
company will already provide loss damage coverage.
All right then, I just need a valid credit card number to make
the reservation. This is for holding the car for you; you will
make the actual payment when you return the car on August
25th.
OK. Just a second... OK, the number is...
Situation 2:
‹kinci konumuz yapt›¤›m›z bir otel rezervasyonunu de¤ifltirmek.
Brian has already booked a room at a hotel
in Eskisehir by using one of the major travel
websites. However, now he needs to change
the dates on his reservation but he cannot do
it online due to some restrictions of the

Good afternoon, thank you for calling
sweettravels.com, this is Tracy speaking,
how can I help you today?
Good afternoon. I made a reservation
with your website two weeks ago but I
need to change the dates now, I tried it
online but the system wouldn’t allow
me...
All right sir. Let’s see what I can do for
you. Do you have a confirmation number?
Yes. It’s SWC21119811.
OK, just a second, I’m checking your
reservation... All right, here is the
problem, your reservation is a nonrefundable one, we gave you a special
price, you have already made the
payment, and the reservation cannot be
cancelled or modified now, this was the
condition for the special price.
I know, I understand... but I’ll be
travelling with my 3-year-old son, he
needs to see his doctor before we leave,
the doctor had to change the
appointment, so I have to change all the
dates in my travel itinerary. The number
of days I stay will not change but I’ll need
to check in on August 15th, and check out
on the 25th.
I understand... Let’s see... Can you hold
for a second please?
Sure.
(about a minute later) Thank you for
holding. I just talked to my supervisor,
here is what we can and cannot do for
you... we cannot cancel the reservation,
or we cannot modify the dates keeping
the same special price, but we can change
your dates if you agree to pay the regular
rate.
Will I still get the same room type?
Sure, you reserved a deluxe room with a
king-size bed and a child bed, it won’t
change, but you’ll have to pay eleven
dollars more per night, for ten nights your
extra will add up to one-hundred and ten
dollars, that of course includes free
parking, free Wi-Fi, and breakfast buffet.
That’s fine with me. Thank you very
much.

reservation within the day... Is there
anything else I can help you with?
No, thanks. You’ve been most helpful.
We appreciate your business sir. Have a

Thanks, Good bye.
Situation 3:
Üçüncü örne¤imiz ise uçak bileti almak ile ilgili.
Brian is talking to a friend of his, Jeremy,
about his flight to Istanbul.
Jeremy : So when is your trip to Istanbul?
Brain
: It’s on the 5th of August.
Jeremy : You must be very excited. Did you
buy your plane ticket?
Brain
: Yes, it was the first thing I did, I
bought it two months ago.
Jeremy : I’ve never been to Turkey. How
long does it take?
Brain
: It’s around ten hours if you choose a direct flight.
Jeremy : Wow!
Brain
: I know, it is rather long. We’ll take off at 4 pm from New York and
we’ll be landing the next day around 9 am in Turkish time, it will be
2 am here in New York. Of course, this is the flight schedule without
considering any delays, the actual time could be longer with the
delays.
Jeremy : And this is a direct flight. I can’t imagine a flight with stops.
Brain
: You’re right. There are some options with different stops in Europe
but with the layovers it takes more
than 24 hours from door to
door.
Jeremy : I see. So you are lucky you’re
flying with a direct flight.
Brain
: Yeah. Actually, I’ll feel better if
I can find an aisle seat. I feel
like I’m squeezed into a
shoebox in window seats,
especially during those longdistance flights to overseas.
Jeremy : Haha!

Tours and Package Holidays

Package holidays are also known as package tours. They include all the
necessary things for a good holiday. Package holidays include transport to and
from the destination and transfers between the airport or the station or the port
and the hotel. They also provide tourists food and accommodation at the
destination. If tourists need other services such as a guide or a holiday rep, package
tours are available.
24
Tour operators are the professionals who bring all the elements together to
create a holiday. They buy or reserve in advance from airlines, shipping lines, and
hoteliers. As they buy hundreds of seats and rooms from these tourism partners,
they pay a much lower price than an individual. The tour operator then turns this
into individual packages known technically as inclusive tours (ITs). These are
marketed to the consumers through travel agents or by other systems.
Tour operators sell different types of holidays. The really big operators, the
mass market operators, produce low-cost holidays to traditional sea, sun and sand
destinations like Spain, Greece or Turkey. Other operators limit their product to
customers who want a very specific type of holiday. These specialist operators sell
adventure holidays, holidays for single people, holidays for motor-racing fans, and
so on. Domestic operators specialize in tours for people who want to spend their
holiday in their own country. Incoming tour operators are specialists in providing
holiday packages to visitors coming from abroad.

No problem. That’s what I’m here for.
Are we allowed to take pictures once we get inside the museums?
Oh, I’m glad you asked that. I forgot to mention that taking
photographs inside the art galleries and the museums is not allowed.
However, you can take pictures of the grounds and the outside of the

Today, we will be going to

As we go by the narrow
roads, the mountain will
look more majestic to you.
Visitor 1 : I guess we are safe here, are
we?
Yes, you don’t have anything to worry about. We do the daily tour
up the mountain every day, and these tours have been going on for
over ten years without any accidents. You will notice wildlife as we
go up. It is very common to see deers and even bears.

That’s Mount Gürbüz. And to the right of that with the three small
peaks is Mount Alaca. Now, if you look straight ahead, you will be
able to see a large eagle’s nest. Can everyone see?
Are there any baby eagles, eaglets?
That’s a good question. I haven’t seen any yet, but we usually see
them around this time of the year.
What’s that lake down there, to the left of the green meadow?
I’m glad you asked. That’s Karagöl, The Black Lake. It’s actually a
man made lake that was built as part of a conservation effort over
thirty years ago. During the 60’s there was a lot of clear cutting of
forests in the area, and much of the wildlife was lost. After Karagöl
was built, ducks, swans, and geese have returned to the area.
Is this the highest mountain in this region?
No, actually, Mount Efe, which you we will be able to see in just a
minute or so has the highest peak. But, this is the highest mountain
for recreational purposes like skiing and guided tours.
Is it possible to ski throughout the year?
No, it warms up enough to actually suntan up here in the summer.
Oh, look everyone. There are two deers feeding in the clearing right
in front of us.
Thanks. That should be a great photo. So, what is there to do besides
skiing at the top of the hill at this time of year?
Oh, there’s plenty to do. We have horseback riding, snowmobile
tours, and a petting zoo for children.

Welcoming tourists:
Hello everyone. My name is
‹smail Gezdirir. On behalf of GezGör Tours I’d like to welcome you
all to Kabahisar. The bus ride to
your hotel will take about forty
minutes. Right now I’d like to take
a minute to introduce you to the
area and discuss some brief safety
precautions. Firstly, I ask that you
remain seated until we reach our
destination and that you do not eat or drink while on the bus. Secondly, please
realize that it is against the law to get drunk in public. Enjoy your vacation, but do
drink responsibly and do not drink and drive.
Describing the location:
I promise you are going to enjoy your stay here in Kabahisar, Türkiye. This is
a beautiful, quiet city where you can relax, sit by the beach, enjoy great meals and
feel very safe. You can walk into town and enjoy the fountains or take a moonlit
walk along the water. Please do not swim here. This is not a safe place to swim
because there is a strong undertow. Güzelsulu is the place to go if you want to
enjoy swimming in the blue sea. You can take a short bus ride from your hotel.
There you will also enjoy entertainment and dancing.
Introducing special events and offers:
Suntan tours offers a variety of special discounts depending on your travel
plans. We have golf packages, as well as guided camel-ride tours, and fishing
boats. There will be a short information session at 2 p.m. in the lobby of the hotel
tomorrow where you can learn all about these offers. We recommend that you do
not purchase packages from street vendors as they are not always hundred percent
reliable. They also may charge you more than what they say. Please take my
advice and allow Gez-Gör tours to book all of your day trips and activities while
you are here.
Offering advice:
If you need to exchange your dollars into Liras, please use a bank or exchange
office. We don’t recommend exchanging your money at the hotel because you won’t
get a fair rate. Some restaurants will accept US dollars or Euros, but you are advised
to exchange your money and pay with Liras. Or, if you prefer, you can always use
your credit cards. Also, if you want to get around the city, or travel to Güzelsulu, we
recommend that you take the local bus rather than a taxi. The bus costs about one
Euro and the driver can give you change if you don’t have the exact amount. If you
decide to take a taxi make sure that you ask for the price before you go.
Closing remarks:
We’re going to be arriving at our hotel in just a few minutes. Please sit back
and enjoy the view of the ocean on the left hand side of the bus as we enter the
city. I ask that you remain in your seats until we have come to a complete stop.
Javier will be meeting us at the bus to help you with your bags. Please double
check to make sure your bag has been taken off the bus. On behalf of Gez-Gör
Tours, have a wonderful vacation in Kabahisar and I hope to see you tomorrow at
the information session.
( ) 1. Tourists are allowed to move around the bus.
( ) 2. It is forbidden to eat or drink on the bus.
( ) 3. It is legally forbidden to drink too much in Kabahisar.
( ) 4. Kabahisar is a very nice place to swim.
( ) 5. Güzelsulu has fun and music as well as an ocean beach.
( ) 6. Tourists can play golf during their vacation if they want.
( ) 7. Gez-Gör tours sometimes provide unreliable and expensive tour packages.
( ) 8. It is better for the tourists to pay cash rather than credit cards.
( ) 9. Taxis in Güzelsulu are very reliable.
( ) 10. ‹smail Gezdirir is the manager of the hotel.

Tourism is basically divided into two main categories: Mass tourism and Niche
tourism.
Mass tourism involves people traveling in large numbers in a short period of
time. They usually travel for fun during their vacation time. Traveling has become
faster and easier in recent years. Therefore, more people travel and try to go
further away from their homes.
Niche Tourism, on the other hand, is the type of tourism that answers the
needs of special interest groups or individuals. Niche tourism can be called special
interest tourism. These interests can be rural, environmental, urban or cultural. For
example; niche tourism for people interested in physical activities or sports includes
adventure tourism such as mountaineering and hiking, the sport travel for golf and
scuba diving. There are many types of niche tourism. You will find the definitions
and names of different types of tourism below.
In all these different types of tourism it is important that a region or a place is
developed for tourism activities. However, these activities must not damage or
finish resources of that region. The term sustainable tourism is used for the
development of a region’s tourism industry in such a way that such improvements
do not damage or finish the resources and attractions that make that specific
region attractive to tourists.
Types of special and individual tourism
accessible tourism
tourism that serves the physically disabled also called
inclusive tourism
adventure tourism
tourism that takes visitors to far away and exotic places
for different types of activities
agritourism
tourism that takes visitors to agricultural areas for
agricultural activities
birth tourism
traveling to another country specifically for child birth
so that the child will be the citizen of that country
bleisure travel
this is a recent term created to mean the combination of
business and fun (the word is formed from business and
pleasure/leisure)
cemetourism
tourism that takes visitors to cemeteries
clubbing tourism
tourism that takes visitors to night clubs and
entertainment venues
cultural tourism
traveling to experience the arts or history of a location
dark tourism
traveling to places associated with death or suffering
disaster tourism
traveling to visit scenes of disaster such as hurricane
(natural disaster) or human disaster such as Ground
Zero in NY
ecotourism
tourism that takes visitors to natural and unspoiled
destinations without disturbing the environment
edutourism
traveling for the purpose of education, self improvement
or intellectual satisfaction; also called intellectual tourism
ethnotourism
traveling to visit and study primitive or less known
cultures
extreme tourism
type of adventure tourism where visitors try dangerous
or physically risky sports and activities
gastro-tourism
traveling to enjoy and experience the food and drinks
of a country or a region. There is a term associated with
this type of visitor gastronaut which means a person
who travels for the purpose of tasting food and drinks
in a region.
health tourism
traveling to find alternative treatments or to visit a health
spa or undergo medical treatment also called medical
tourism
hobby tourism
traveling done by groups of people who share similar
interests and hobbies.
hunting tourism
traveling for the purpose of hunting game animals
usually in the wild or in places created specially for
hunting
39
40
medical tourism

nature-based tourism traveling for the purpose of seeing natural sites and
enjoying different outdoor activities such as bird
watching, fishing
space tourism
a new and very expensive traveling style that involves
going on to space
sport tourism
traveling to participate in a favorite sport such as golf,
to watch a favorite team play or watch a well known
sports attraction such as Formula 1
togethering
a very special type of travel where the family members
travel together or travel to be together in family reunions.
vagabonding
traveling independently for a long period of time on a
very limited budget usually going from one country to
another, from continent to another
voluntourism
traveling for humanitarian purposes or to volunteer for
such activities. The person who does this is called a
voluntourist.
weather tourism
traveling to view and experience extreme weather
conditions such as tornados or hurricanes
Adopted from http://www.travel-industrydictionary.com/weather-tourism.html
There is no precise line between these types of niche tourism. Sometimes
individual visitor may combine one or two different niche tourism types we have
just explained. For example a visitor who is going to watch a hurricane will be
combining weather tourism and adventure tourism.

Mass Tourism and Its Effects
Part 1 - What is Mass Tourism?
The words tourist and tourism are quite modern, but tourism is much older. People
have always traveled to distant parts of the world in order to see great buildings
or works of art, to learn new languages, or simply for pleasure. Nowadays, however,
organized tourism is an enormous industry all over the world, and many national
economies depend on it. In the past tourism meant traveling to foreign countries,
but now it also includes traveling within your own country. The last century saw
the growth of mass tourism, with package tours to holiday resorts in the sun. Mass
tourism means large numbers of people visiting a specific location because of its
attractiveness. The form of attractiveness may change: it may be warm weather
and beautiful beaches, such as Turkey’s Mediterranean coast; or it may be a very
large, historical city, such as Rome. No matter what the attraction is, mass tourism
means that a lot of visitors arrive for vacation and they spend money on hotels,
restaurants, entertainment, tours, etc.

Mass Tourism and Its Effects
Part 2 - Negative Effects of Mass Tourism
Coconut Island is a beautiful, tropical island with, of course, coconut palms,
golden beaches and clear blue sea. I’m sorry, I made a mistake there. Coconut
Island was a beautiful island. There are still coconut palms, golden beaches and
clear blue sea but not like before. So, what happened?
Well, the beach is full of people, sun beds and umbrellas. The sea is full of
speedboats, noisy jetskis and surfers. There are fewer palm trees because there are
more and more buildings. Hotels, holiday resorts, guest houses, restaurants,
swimming pools... you name it, Coconut Island has it. Paradise is no longer here,
but the Paradise Hotel is.
Perhaps I’m the only one who has a problem with this? The tourists seem
happy: the weather is wonderful, the food is tasty and cheap, and the sea is warm.
The local people seem happy: there are many people selling things on the beach,
49
3. Ünite - Mass Tourism
there are lots more jobs and better roads. The developers are certainly happy,
there is building work everywhere. So, why am I unhappy?
Well, I have a friend who was here five years ago. Her photo album is full of
wonderful pictures of empty beaches. Also she has pictures of small, wooden
bungalows on the beach. No need to book, she said, just turn up and you have
the place to yourself - very basic, very cheap, very quiet and very peaceful.
Not anymore! The beach is never empty - it’s packed all day! There is music
blaring from the cafés, children are shouting and screaming, and the hotels are
very expensive. Most of the hotels are full of holidaymakers who booked their trip
months ago. I’m lucky to have a small room at the back of one hotel, and it’s still
expensive.
But perhaps this is progress? Not only are the roads better but there is also a
new medical clinic. The local kids now speak English ‘Mister, mister, you want tshirt?’ and there are many new businesses opening all the time.
Then I see an old woman trying to cross the road from her house to the shops.
It’s no longer a small, quiet road but a large and very busy one. She looks nervous
and waits for someone to walk with her. The children no longer ride bicycles but
race around the island on motorbikes. It’s not so safe either - my friend stayed in
a bungalow on the beach that had no lock. Now the hotel room says it’s a good
idea to put things in the safe box.
Is this progress?

• Sometimes we use two or more adjectives while describing things or places:
- We rented a nice, old house for our vacation in the mountains
- In front of the house there is a beautiful, large, round, wooden table.
• Adjectives like large/round/wooden are fact adjectives. They give factual
information about age, size, color, shape etc.
• Adjectives like nice/beautiful are opinion adjectives. They describe what
somebody thinks of something or somebody.
• Opinion adjectives are usually used before fact adjectives.
- A nice, long summer holiday
- delicious, hot vegetable soup
- wonderful, sandy beaches
• Sometimes two or more fact adjectives are used together. Very often (but
not always) fact adjectives are used in the following order:
1. how big?
2. how old?
3. what color?
4. where from?
5. what is it made of?
- big brown eyes (1-3)
- a small black plastic ball (1-3-5-)
- an old Turkish song (2-4)
- a large wooden box (1-5)
• Adjectives of size and length (tall/short/long /big/small) are usually used
before adjectives of shape and width (round/thin/wide /narrow).
- a tall, thin boy
- a short, narrow street

Top 10 Things Every Travel Agent Should Do Right Now
The ideas in this list are things that
every travel agent can do in order to
adapt to today’s environment, in
which travelers want personalized
attention, good value, and the
convenience of the Internet.
1. Specialize: Pick a few
destinations or activities and
resolve to be a better expert at
them than anyone else.
Consumers now have access to
so much travel information,
particularly at their fingertips
via the Internet that they have
themselves become “generalist travel agents.” When they seek help, they’re
seeking a true specialist.
2. Personalize: Differentiate yourself from self-service online solutions, instead
give consumers highly personalized service, recommendations, etc.
3. Develop a repertoire of unique experiences: It’s all about selling experiences.
The more unique, the more value you’re adding. The more you can get
clients access to special events or people, the more differentiated you are.
4. Be complex: Consumers can book the simple trips themselves. Travelers
really need agents for complex trips such as longer international trips or
cruises. Your energy and specialization should be on these complex trips.
5. Work with net rates rather than take commission: Especially for custom
tours, agents should consider getting net rates from suppliers and rather
than taking commission. This gives pricing flexibility and better cash flow.
6. Constantly do a self-check: Am I delivering the best value? The market is
continuously changing. For all the products and services that you offer,
check if you are getting competitive rates?
7. Be prepared to answer questions about yourself: Be prepared for the following
suggestions: “Tell me about yourself and your agency,” or “What makes you
different from other agents?”
8. Be a “trusted advisor”: Most agents can sell a lot more if they can be perceived
as a trusted advisor. This means good relationship-building and trust-building
skills.
9. Have a good website: Agent websites need three key things: good design +
interesting content + easy to maintain/update.
10. Engage with social media: Have a Facebook Page for your travel business.
Get your clients to be fans and to post reviews of your services.

Ecotourism
What is Ecotourism?
Ecotourism, ecotravel, ecolodges
and just generally being “eco”
have become popular recently.
What is true ecotourism?
There are many terms used
to describe types of ecotourism.
Some words that you often hear
these days are ‘Eco-Tourism’,
‘Adventure Travel’, ‘Sustainable
Tourism’, ‘Responsible Tourism’,
‘Nature Based Travel’, and
‘Green Tourism’.
Eco-tourism: The Ecotourism
Society defines it as ‘responsible
travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of
the local people’. A walk through the rainforest is not eco-tourism unless that particular
walk somehow benefits that environment and the people who live there. A rafting
trip is only eco-tourism if it raises awareness and funds to help protect the watershed.

Adventure Travel: While travel to another country is often adventurous, it is
not necessarily ‘Adventure Travel’. Most dictionaries define adventure similarly: ‘an
unusual experience including some level of risk and uncertainty’. ‘Adventure
Travel’ includes this idea of risk and some unconventional means of transport. A
canoe journey deep into the Amazon basin meets this definition. While a city tour
of Paris might have some level of uncertainty, it is not by definition ‘Adventure
Travel’.
Sustainable Tourism: Any form of tourism that does not reduce the availability
of resources and does not inhibit future travelers from enjoying the same
experience. If the presence of large numbers of tourists disturbs an animal’s mating
patterns then that visit is not sustainable.
Responsible Tourism: Tourism which operates in such a way as to minimize
negative impacts on the environment. A wilderness camping trip using ‘Leave No
Trace’ ethics would be considered responsible tourism.
Nature-Based Travel: A more generic term for any activity or travel experience
with a focus on nature. Large jungle lodges fall into this category as do cruise ships
to view penguins in Antarctica. These types of trips may or may not be
environmentally sustainable or responsible.
Green Tourism: Often used inter-changeably with eco-tourism and sustainable
tourism but more accurately described as ‘any activity or facility operating in an
environmentally friendly fashion’. A lodge with composting toilets, gray water
system, and solar powered lighting is probably ‘green’.

Health Tourism
Turkey Aims To Be
Health Tourism Hub
Turkey aims to become a second
Dubai in terms of special health
services designed to target
health
tourism,
including
hospitals, rehabilitation centers,
thermal spa facilities, care
facilities for the elderly and
holiday villages.
“The creation of special
health zones and healing centers in Turkey is underway and drawing the attention
of foreign investors”, Dursun Ayd›n, head of the Health Tourism Department of
the Turkish Ministry of Health, told Anatolia News Agency. “With the new legal
code, the ministry plans to develop health tourism and create a model concept for
the rest of the health sector in the region”, Ayd›n said. In achieving this goal, the
ministry also plans to improve the inflow of foreign investment, increase
employment, bring in skilled foreign healthcare workers, speed up the use of
medical technology and encourage the production of services and investments, he
added.
Dubai and Iran have special health zones and healing centers, but the Iranian
health zone is currently still in the project phase, Ayd›n said. Oman, Saudi Arabia,
Brazil, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico are also planning to set up special health
zones.
The announcement of management firms for Turkey’s health zones will be
made in December, and investment, building and zoning operations will begin
next year, Ayd›n said.

Good afternoon. Thank you for calling Happy Travels Travel
Agency. How can I help you?
Hi, I am planning a trip to Turkey for my vacation and I need
some suggestions.
Absolutely! Actually you are very lucky because we have
wonderful deals for some top resort hotels in Antalya and Bodrum.
Thank you but I have been to those wonderful resort hotels of
Turkey many times before. This time I am more interested in
locations where I can find spas.
I see. Just a second please, I’ll pull up the spa file here. ... OK. For
spas, we have many wonderful options. Let’s start with the spas
of ancient cities: there is a wonderful spa near Pamukkale, in the
ancient city of Hieropolis; another one is nearby Koyce¤iz Lake,
in the ancient Lycian city of Caunos.
Ancient cities? Interesting! So these spas must be in use for many
hundred years.
Of course. For example, there is one in Balcova, ‹zmir, located on
the site of the Baths of Agamemnon and used for the therapeutic
qualities of the waters since the Roman times.
Wow!
Another wonderful location for spas is Bursa, the first capital of
the Ottoman Empire. We actually have many other options. Why
don’t you give me your e-mail address? I’ll send you a brochure,
you can read it and call us back for extra information and
reservation.
Oh, that’s a great idea. My e-mail address is ...

Top 10 Ecotourism Destinations in the World
Alaska: Alaska, known as “The Great Land”, is
reputed for its snow-capped mountains, the
tundra region, and the Arctic zone in the north.
Alaska is home to a fascinating wildlife
population such as humpback whales, brown
bears, sea lions, and eagles.
Amazon: The Amazon, the lungs of earth,
produces 20 % of the world’s oxygen. The
Amazon rainforest is home to hordes of floral
and faunal wealth. The densest part of the
Amazon belt can be found in Brazil. The most
attractive travel can be in the Bahia’s Atlantic
forest, where you can feel the essence of
rainforest and be fascinated with the sight of
scores of wildlife.
South Pole: The only time where you can
head towards the White Continent is during
summer when the ice melts to make way for
eco-tourists. Can you imagine that about 20,000
tourists head towards Antarctica every year to witness gigantic glaciers, icebergs,
whales and of course penguins.
Blue Mountains, Australia:
The Blue Mountains area has
roughly 550 square miles of
valleys, and rocky terrains. The
region has ample floral wealth,
and the faunal wealth comprises
of some 400 species. Rock
climbing,
canoeing,
and
bushwalking are some of the
interesting
activities
Blue
Mountains offer.
Malaysian island of Borneo:
The slopes of Mount Kinabalu
and the dense forest trails of the
Bario Loop are great hiking
terrains. The Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre is excellent to spot the
primates. For tourists who prefer staying in eco-friendly places, the Sukau Rainforest
Lodge will be a great place to live in.
71
Botswana: Known as the
‘jewel of Africa’, Botswana is
rich in natural wealth. The
Savannah plains, the extensive
desert regions, the riverside
forest and captivating wildlife
are real beauties. You can stay
in several eco-friendly resorts
in the Savannah region and
watch wildlife comprising of
leopards, lions, zebras and
rhinos.
Costa Rica: This country is
symbolic to ecotourism. The name Costa Rica was given by Christopher Columbus,
meaning “Rich Coast”. The country has four active (but not harmful) volcanoes,
lush rainforests and hot springs. Costa Rica has jungle lodges where you can stay.
Wildlife here includes many animals ranging from monkeys to tortoises, and
tourists can take active part in rafting, hiking, and scuba diving.
Dominica: Dominica is the Ecotourism Island of the Caribbean islands, and it
is considered to be the whale-watching island. The tourists can watch 40-ton
whales swimming freely on the shores. Dominica also has waterfalls, rainforests,
and hot springs. Visitors can stay at rainforest lodges, listening to the natural music
from the jungles.

These islands still remain home to world’s most unique creatures and was declared
the first World Heritage site in 1978.
Himalayas: The Himalayas are the world’s largest mountainous range. Nepal
and Northern India provide access routes to the Himalayas. Hikers can stay in the
rustic Himalayan lodges. Mountain camps, comprising of guides, cooks, and porters
are highly popular.

Brazil: Home to the highest per capita number of practicing cosmetic doctors

also to smaller cities. Common procedures, such as breast augmentations and
facelifts cost from $3,000 to $6,500.
Costa Rica: Many tourists take advantage of Costa Rica’s medical services,
mainly cosmetic surgery and dental care. San Jose area is home to hundreds of
board-certified doctors, surgeons and dentists.
Hungary: Hungary has more dentists per capita than any other country. They
are found not only in Budapest, but also in some small towns. Many European
Union visitors come here for major dental care, including cosmetic oral surgeries,
full-mouth restorations and implants.
India: More Americans travel here for cardiac and orthopedic procedures than
for all other treatments combined. India offers top private hospitals, especially in
the larger cities of Bangalore, Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai. Medical travel to India
is growing by 30% a year, thanks to increasing numbers of Americans, Canadians

Malaysia: With more than a quarter of a million medical travelers each year,
Malaysia compares favorably to India, Thailand, and neighboring Singapore in
terms of its medical facilities, skill and costs. As well as having special burn
treatment centers, Malaysian hospitals have created “well-man” and “well-woman”
packages for preventive care.
Mexico: More than 70% of Mexico’s U.S. patients reside in California, Texas or
Arizona. Patients from San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Tucson and Brownsville
make the two- to six-hour drive across the border to a clinic and stay a couple of
nights in a hotel. Many come each year for checkups, dental cleanings, physicals
and other treatments that cost much less than in the U.S.
Singapore: Singapore has a health care system that the World Health
Organization ranks as the best in Asia and sixth best in the world. It’s no wonder
that Singapore attracts many international patients. Singapore’s specialties cover a
broad range, including cardiology and cardiac surgery, gastroenterology, general
surgery, hepatology, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopedics and stem
cell therapy.
South Korea: South Korea has earned a reputation for spinal surgeries, cancer
screenings and treatments and cosmetic surgeries. Many South Korean hospitals
are fully digitized, with electronic health records as the standard.
Thailand: An established leader in cosmetic surgery, Thailand attracts patients
from nearby Japan, Vietnam, China and South Korea. Eventually, Westerners joined
the flow to Bangkok and Phuket, primarily for elective surgeries whose low cost
makes up for the long flight and other travel expenses.
Turkey: Medical tourists may be surprised to know that this Eurasian country is
home to more JCI-accredited health care facilities than any nation outside the U.S.
Health care costs compare extremely well even to those in Asia, and the medical
system has plenty of doctors who are Western-trained and fluent in English. The
Turkish government enforces strict quality standards in every area of medical
technology, facilities and personnel.

Urban Tourism
People are attracted to big cities just to experience a variety of things to do and
see. Cities, since the ancient times, have been the melting pots of national culture,
art, music, history and architectute. Some cities also have natural beauties to attract
visitors. The type of toursim where the visitors prefer to take their vacations to
enjoy different aspects of cities is called urban tourism. Urban tourism is also
called city tourism.
Here are some factors that make a city preferred tourist destinations
and make them visitor friendly:
Here are some components that can make a city visitor-friendly and attractive:
• Historical quarters-cities with historical
backgrounds: Historic districts are
generally very pedestrian-friendly.
They give the visitors a nice
experience when they walk around
the city itself. Rome (Italy) and
‹stanbul are good examples to this
type of cities.

•
Waterfront-cities that have the
sea or river: Cities with the waterfront
have always caught the attention of
tourists. For example, Venice is very
popular because of the canals it has
running throughout the city.
•
Conference
centers
and
exhibitions-cities
that
provide
opportunities for businessmen and
researchers: Cities need to offer facilities
that allow large organizations like Trade
Shows, Conventions, Conferences, Meetings, Events, or Exhibitions. A city
which is well known in the convention and business tourism attracts many
visitors. The visitors attend conferences or exhibitions, and at the same
time, they enjoy other attractions in the city.
• Fairs, carnivals and events - cities that offer fun or attract special interest
groups: Organizations such as Olympic Games, International fairs, Sports
organizations, Cultural and traditional festivals attract many visitors to the
cities. For example, Cannes Film Festival, Rio’s traditional carnival,
Oktoberfest in Munich, Shopping Fest in ‹stanbul attract a great number of
visitors to these cities. Cities try to host upcoming sports events or to organize
business or educational meetings. The ongoing efforts made by National
Olympic Committee of Turkey to host the Summer Olympics in ‹stanbul
reflect the importance of the issue.
•
Eating facilities - cities with special
cuisines: Many visitors of a town or city
prefer spending serious amount of their
money on food. Some tourists prefer a
destination just to experience the
famous delicious tastes by the local
cuisines. Gaziantep and Hatay of
Turkey can be very important
destinations for urban tourism with their
traditional cuisines.
•
Tourism workers and inhabitants
of a city - cities with native people who
like to support tourists: Friendliness is
very important in tourism business. Most
visitors would like to hear or see a warm
‘welcome’ by the service providers in
the cities or towns they stay. The locals
in a city must not consider the visitors as
‘dollar-bills’. The visitors take the goods
and bads with them when they go back
home. Turkey, with its history and
traditional hospitality welcome its
visitors and help them leave the country
with good memories.

Faith/Religious Tourism
Visitors from specific faiths like to visit locations that they consider holy sites. The
form of tourism where people travel to such holy places is called Faith tourism or
Religious tourism. People may travel individually or in groups for different reasons.
One of the main reasons for religious tourism is pilgrimage. This is when people
visit holy places at a certain time according to their beliefs. However, religious
tourism does not only cover pilgrims. Non-religious people also like to visit holy
locations because many of these places are interesting not only in terms of religions
but also culture and history of the civilizations.
Travel agencies organize tours to temples, churches, places where there are
religious records, and a variety of other spots that have some kind of historical or
mythical importance. There are many sites throughout Europe, Africa, Central and
South America that are regarded as holy by Christians and sites throughout Middle
Asia and Anatolia by Muslims, Christians and Jewish People.
Religious (Faith) tourism is a growing market in the tourism industry. In other
words, faith tourism is a big business which is also considered as one of the fastest
growing segments in travel today.
Faith Tourism in Turkey
Turkey plays an important role in the three largest religions in the world:
Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. For more than a thousand years, Turkish land has
been at the intersection of civilizations; it has been a melting pot of eastern and
western traditions and a place where diverse beliefs meet. Anatolia has been home
to diverse civilizations. This crossroad for civilizations has also been a crossroad
for religious beliefs. There are historical and holy sites from the early days of
Christianity. However, when Jewish people had to leave their homes during the
Mediaeval Ages, they came to Anatolia and built their own temples. Turkey is
home to holy sites and religious architecture for Muslims, Christians and Jews.

Well known locations for faith
tourism for the followers of Judaism,
‹stanbul’s synagogues are open to
visitors for worship and sightseeing
purposes. Archaeological excavations
of early Jewish settlements in Sardis
near Salihli have revealed one of the
world’s oldest synagogues from 220
B.C.
For visitors from the Christian
faith, a trip to Mount Ararat will show
them what is believed to be the
landing place of Noah’s Ark. Many
religious and holy fathers of
Christianity lived in Anatolia and built
the early churches. The Christian sites
in Turkish land are visited by many
tourists, either independently or with
organized tours.
The Islamic sites in Turkey are
numerous. Only ‹stanbul, the former
capital of the huge Ottoman Empire,
is home to various sites that are sacred
and blessed for Muslims. All in all, any
visitor to Turkey will be impressed
with the greatness and diversity of
religious constructions and sacred
places of worship.

An Urban Visit: Destination Europe
Mr. Eurier is talking to a travel agent about possible European destinations for his
short vacation with his wife.
Travel Agent : Good morning. Welcome to Eurotours. I will be your assistant
today.
Mr. Eurier
: Good morning. I am Rich Eurier. My wife and I are planning
to have a one-week trip to a European city next month.
Travel Agent : Nice time for a Europe visit! What are the exact
dates, sir?
Mr. Eurier
: The exact dates are from 11th to 18th of March. I’d like to have
some information about popular destinations.
Travel Agent : Alright, Mr. Eurier. A popular tourist destination is Stockholm.
The city, the beaches and the sea are unpolluted if you’re
concerned about it.
Mr. Eurier
: Good. What are the main attractions there?
Travel Agent : Hmm. The Vasa Ship Museum, the Old Town, Birka Island, the
Tivoli leisure park, the archipelago with its 24.000 islands, and
the eight royal palaces in the surrounding area.
Mr. Eurier
: What are the other options?
Travel Agent : Ok, let’s see. What about Amsterdam? It has over five million
visitors every year.
Mr. Eurier
: It looks crowded, but, what are the facilities?
Travel Agent : It has the old town with canals from the 17th century, historical
monuments and museums. I personally recommend Van

What about the locals there? Are they friendly enough?
The friendliness and tolerance of its residents is legendary.
There are many festivals and events. And it’s one of the top 10
tourist destinations in the world.
Festivals? Are there any festivals or special events on the dates
of our vacation?
Unfortunately, there aren’t any.
OK. What about British cities?
Hmm, let me see. St. Andrews?
What? Where is it?
It’s 80 km from Edinburgh on the east coast of Scotland.
What makes St Andrews special?
It’s a small town with 15.000 residents. And only 20% of its
visitors are foreigners, most are English or Scottish. Excellent
for a peaceful holiday! And the locals are so kind.
It can be too peaceful for us. We’re looking for a livelier place.

River Liffey in Dublin
Retrieved from http://collegetribune.ie
You wouldn’t say ‘no’ to Dublin.
Dublin? Is it really fascinating?
It’s a 1000-year-old Viking city. Green valleys, fishing villages,
beaches, parks are all around Dublin.
Are there any historical sites there?
Sure, there are. You can visit castles from the Middle Age,
museums such as the Dublin Writers’ Museum, the National
Museum of Ireland, and James Joyce Museum.
Any festivals?
St. Patrick’s festival and Dublin theatre Festival.
Can we go there by ship as well?
Yes, of course. There is a tourist port in Dublin. Just about a
hundred cruise ships visit Dublin every year.
Any other destination that we could reach on cruise?
Let me check, Mr. Eurier... I can recommend you Rhodes,
Greece without any reservation.
Oh, a friend of mine was there for a conference last year.
Yes, it is a popular conference town with more than a hundred
conferences each year.

What can we do there for one week? It’s an island.
The port, the bay, and the beaches are the main attractions.
Also, you can see the four kilometers of ramparts dating from
the 14th century surrounding the whole upper and lower town.
March may not be a good time to visit Rhodes, I think. I would
like to ask for more options if you don’t mind.
No problem, sir. What criteria apply for your choice?
We would like to eat delicious food.
OK. I would recommend you Volterra, Italy. The town holds a
real gastronomic tradition. Also, the region has an exciting
historical, cultural, artistic and archaeological legacy as well as
beautiful countryside.
Does the town offer a waterfront?
I’m sorry but no, sir.
I’m very sorry to take your time that much but I’m looking for
a destination full of history, with waterfront, offering tasty
food, providing easy transportation, organizing festivals and
events, which is also inhabited by friendly and hospitable
residents.
Then I can recommend ‹stanbul, Turkey.
Can I find all of these there?
Sure. It is the capital city of both Byzantium and Ottomans.
You can visit many mosques, churches, palaces, and so on.
Also, you can enjoy the Bosporus with its great view. The food
is definitely delicious. There is a blues festival on your dates
next month, too. And the hospitality of Turkish people, it’s
priceless. All these things will make ‹stanbul the capital of
conferences and events in ten years, experts say.
Thank you very much. Then, we’re going to ‹stanbul...

Bu radyo sohbetinde üç farkl› din insan› ‹stanbul hakk›ndaki görüfllerini belirtiyorlar.
A radio show hosts three religious men from three major religions. They talk
about ‹stanbul from a spiritual point of view.
The Host
: Welcome to our weekly show, ‘The Merge of Religions’. Today,
we’re going to talk about Turkey’s religious sites. Our guests
are Mr. Christiansen, a Christian priest, Mr. Jewel, Jewish rabbi,
and Mr. Güzel, an Imam for Turkish Muslims.They all live in
‹stanbul.
Guests
: Thank you.
The Host
: I’d like to start with Mr. Güzel. What are the major points in
Turkey for Muslim visitors?
Mr. Güzel
: There are quite a lot of historical and spiritual sites in Turkey
for Muslims. As you know, Anatolia has been the home to
Muslims for a very long time.
The Host
: Then, let’s talk about ‹stanbul. What are the major Islamic
figures in ‹stanbul?
Mr. Güzel
: First, we should mention about the mosques. The Blue Mosque,
The Süleymaniye Mosque and Külliye, The Fatih Mosque, The
Eyüp Sultan Mosque, and The Beyaz›t Mosque are the major
ones among hundreds of mosques in ‹stanbul.
The Host
: Oh, Beyaz›t Mosque? Can you give more information about it
for our audience?
Mr. Güzel
: Sure. It is at the square of Beyaz›t, which is mentioned with its
name. This great mosque and its külliye were constructed by
the son of Fatih, Bayezit II in 1501 - 1506. The Külliye consists
of a theology school, a school, an
imaret(soup kitchen in a historical
sense), a caravansary and a Turkish
bath. It has two minarets which are 87
meters away from each other. Plan of
the Beyaz›t Mosque is similar to Hagia
Sofia. But it is separated from it with
especially a perfect architectural
application which includes a different
characteristic having worship order of
a culture.
The Host
: Thank you very much. Let’s talk to Mr. Christiansen. I think
there are fewer churches in ‹stanbul than mosques. Am I
right?
Mr. Christiansen : You’re right. But some of the mosques are former churches
or monasteries. You can understand them from their
architectural design.
The Host
: For example?
Mr. Christiansen : The Hagia Sophia is the most famous example.
The Host
: Any others?
87
Mr. Christiansen : ‹mrahor ‹lyas Bey Mosque, for instance. It was known as a part
of the Studis Monastery. It is located in Yedikule and was built in
the 5th century. Also, Eski ‹maret Mosque, which belonged to
Monastery of Christ Pantepoptes, was converted to a mosque by
Ottomans. Zeyrek Mosque is one of the examples of Byzantium
religious architecture. We can add Aya ‹rini and Chora Church to
these historical churches. However, there are also churches that
are active such as Saint Antoine, Virgin Mary Suryani Church,
Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, Bulgarian Church and Anglican
Church.
The Host
: Thank you very
much. And Mr.
Jewel, are there any
religious spots significant
for Judaism?
Mr. Jewel
: Sure, there are.
Some of them are still in
operation. Neve fialom
Synagogue, Italian
Synagogue, and Aflkenazi
Synagogue are in Galata. There’s another one located at a close
distance to famous Haydarpafla Train Station, Haydarpafla
Hemdat Israel Synagogue.
The Host
: Can you give more detail
about the Neve fialom
Synagogue, please?
Mr. Jewel
: Of course. As I
said, it’s located at
Galata, on Büyük Hendek
Street. It means “Oasais of
Peace” in English. It was
opened on March 25, 1951
and is still the most
modern and outstanding synagogue of ‹stanbul. It has
witnessed a lot of religious ceremonies such as weddings, bar
mitzva (maturity ceremony) and funerals, and Head Rabbinate
Appointment ceremonies.
The Host
: Thank you very much for your information. So, as your last
words, what would you like to say to our audience? Do you
have any messages?
Mr. Christiansen : Yes. I can say that ‹stanbul is a junction of cultures and
religions. Come and visit.
Mr. Jewel
: Religious places are not only to worship but to feel
culture and tradition of a city. Experience it in ‹stanbul!
Mr. Güzel
: I completely agree with my friends. ‹stanbul is the place of
tolerance and respect. It’s impossible to collapse this synergy
created by the humanity in ‹stanbul. Come and be a piece
of this harmony.

The program was founded with the Convention Concerning the Protection of
World Cultural and Natural Heritage, which was adopted by the General
Conference of UNESCO on 16 November 1972. As of 2012, 962 sites are listed: 745
cultural, 188 natural, and 29 mixed properties, in 157 states.
In order to be listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site, a country must first
take an inventory of its significant cultural and natural properties. This is called the
Tentative List. There are ten selection criteria: six cultural and four natural. A site
must meet at least one of them to be included in the list. These criteria are:
Cultural criteria
1. Representing a masterpiece of human creative genius
2. Exhibiting an important interchange of human values, over a period of time,
or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or
technology, monumental arts, town-planning, or landscape design
3. Bearing a unique or exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a
civilization which is living or which has disappeared
4. Being an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural, or
technological group or landscape which illustrates a significant stage in
human history
5. Being an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use,
or sea-use which is representative of a culture, or human interaction with
the environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact
of irreversible change
6. Being directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with
ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal
significance
Natural criteria
7. Containing excellent natural phenomena or areas of exceptional natural
beauty and aesthetic importance
8. Being an outstanding example representing major stages of Earth’s history,
including the record of life, significant on-going geological processes in the
development of landforms, or significant geomorphic or physiographic
features
9. Being an outstanding example representing significant on-going ecological
and biological processes in the evolution and development of terrestrial,
fresh water, coastal and marine ecosystems, and communities of plants and
animals
10. Containing the most important and significant natural habitats for the
conservation of biological diversity, including those containing threatened
species of outstanding universal value from the point of view of science or

World Heritage is perhaps the most significant recognition that can be given to
the natural and/or cultural value of a site. Therefore, they have to be protected
well. According to Article 53 of the Geneva Convention it is prohibited to;
• commit any acts of aggression directed against the historic monuments,
works of art or places of worship which constitute the cultural or spiritual
heritage of people;
• use such objects in support of the military effort;
• make such objects the object of reprisals.

Protection of locations and sites that have historical, cultural or natural value is
very important. Turkey must try to protect these sites by establishing rules.
• It is necessary to prepare appropriate management plans with effective
implementation for the World Heritage Sites of Turkey.
• Conservation and protection measures can be strengthened by identification
of buffer zones for prevention of construction activities in the adjoining
areas to World Heritage Sites.
• It is essential to develop and implement an efficient ‘Visitor Management
Plan’ in the framework of Management Plan for these sites.

• Strong efforts should be made to increase the awareness of local population
living in the vicinity of World Heritage Site about significance of the site.

A Visit to Selimiye Mosque and Its Social Complex
A group of students are interviewing their history teacher about Selimiye Mosque
and its social complex in Edirne, Turkey.
111
Student: Good morning Dr. Selim Bilir. We would like to learn about the Selimiye
Mosque and its social complex.
Dr. Bilir: Good morning. Welcome to my office. I’ll be pleased to give you
information about this site. Please do not hesitate to ask your questions.
Student: Where exactly are Selimiye Mosque and its social complex? Can you
give us information about the location?
Dr. Bilir: OK. It’s in Edirne. Edirne, which was known as Adrianople until the
Ottoman period, is located at the northeastern Turkey, and is easily
accessible by bus from Istanbul and Çanakkale. Edirne was the second
capital of the Ottoman Empire.
Student: Are there any other historical
buildings in Edirne?
Dr. Bilir: Sure, there are. But, this is the
most famous one, not only in
Edirne, but all over the world.
Student: What are the other buildings
around the mosque?
Dr. Bilir: Actually, it is a complex. The
complex, which was built in the
historic
centre
of
Edirne
comprises two madrasas, I mean
Islamic schools, a primary school,
a clock house, a library, a
courtyard, and a covered bazaar
besides the wonderful mosque.
Student: Oh, it sounds great! When was it
built?
Dr. Bilir: It was built between 1569 and
1575.
Student: Where does its name come from? What does it mean?
Dr. Bilir: It takes its name from the reigning Ottoman Sultan Selim II. It’s common
to name the mosques with the Sultans’ names who have financed the
mosque. I’m sure you remember Süleymaniye Mosque in ‹stanbul that
we visited the other day.
Student: Oh, yes. I see. I’ve heard that it was built by the same architecture. Am
I right?
Dr. Bilir: Yes, Sinan, who is considered as the best architect ever, built this
complex as his masterpiece work.
Student: What makes Selimiye Mosque so special?
Dr. Bilir: The mosque is unique with its single dome and four slim and elegant
minarets.
Student: What else?
Dr. Bilir: When looking from the roads leading to Edirne, the four minarets seem
as if they are only two as they are symmetrically placed. There are 384 windows in
Selimiye Mosque in total, together with court windows. And the dome’s architecture
is called ‘beyond possibility’. It is structurally superior to Hagia Sophia, the dome of
which is frequently compared to the dome of Selimiye Mosque. The Selimiye Mosque
and its social complex was announced in the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 2011.

genius of the architect Sinan, the

most famous of all Ottoman
architects in the 16th century.

its excellent universal value, is well-maintained. Also, it is very important

Safranbolu.
Journalist: I would like to thank you on behalf of my readers. You wanted to

Journalist: Where does its

UR:
The name of the
town derives from saffron, since Safranbolu was a trading place and
a center for saffron cultivation.
Journalist: What is the importance of Safranbolu’s location?
UR:
The City of Safranbolu is an example of a typical Ottoman trade
town. It has played a key role in the caravan trade on the main route
between Europe and the Orient.
Journalist: What makes Safranbolu special?
UR:
It’s a typical Ottoman town that has survived to the present day. The
architectural forms of the buildings and streets in the city are examples
of their time.
Journalist: What are there in the Old Town, then?

The caravan trade was the main commercial link between the Orient
and Europe for centuries. As a result, towns of characteristic type
grew up along its route. With the coming of railways in the 19th
century, these towns suddenly lost their importance and most of them
were adapted to other economic bases. Safranbolu was not affected
in this way and as a result has preserved its original form and buildings.
This is the first criteria.
Journalist: What else?
UR:
Safranbolu, which was quite rich with its key role in the caravan trade
for many centuries, was able to set a standard in public and domestic
architecture that exercised a great influence on urban development
over a large area of the Ottoman Empire
Journalist: Even these are enough, I think. Any other criteria?
UR:
Yes, one more. It needs protection. The end of the caravan trade had
a negative effect on Safranbolu. Its closeness to the Karabük
Steelworks has given it a new socio-economic role, but it is still in
danger to external pressures. So, continuous efforts must be made to
preserve the traditional City of Safranbolu.
Journalist: Thank you very much for your information. What would you like to
say as your last words?
UR:
I recommend everybody to see the City of Safranbolu before they die

An interview takes place between a journalist, an anchorman, or presenter of
a program (interviewer) and someone who has been invited to the program or to
a specific place to speak about a particular topic (interviewee). The interviewee is
115
often an expert on the topic or someone who has strong opinions, for example a
cinema critic talking about a new film.
The Language of Interviewers
In every interview, we find examples of real questions asked to the interviewees.
Also, an interviewer can agree or disagree with the interviewee. Sometimes, he/she
can help the interviewee say more with his/her comments or questions.
During the interviews, the interviewer’s job is to prompt or help the interviewee
to talk. If the interviewer uses too many direct questions, the interviewee will soon
stop speaking. Therefore, the interviewer uses comments such as conclusions,
summaries, and sometimes contrasting opinions to help the interviewee speak
about the topic.
Now, look at the questions and other statements made by the interviewers in
the situations given in ‘How Would You Say’ section above:
Situation 1:
• Where exactly are Selimiye Mosque and its social complex? Can you give us
information about the location?
• Are there any other historical buildings in Edirne?
• What are the other buildings around the mosque?
• Oh, it sounds great! When was it built?
• Where does its name come from? What does it mean?
• Oh, yes. I see. I’ve heard that it was built by the same architecture. Am I
right?
• What makes Selimiye Mosque so special?
• What else?
• Oh, really? I know that there are some criteria to be listed in World Heritage.
• I see. Any other criteria?
• What about integrity?
• Authenticity?
• This place is great! It deserves all of the praises!
Situation 2:
• I want to start with the city. Where is Safranbolu?
• Where does its name come from?
• What is the importance of Safranbolu’s location?
• What makes Safranbolu special?
• What are there in the Old Town, then?
• It sounds great. When was the City of Safranbolu taken to the World Heritage
List?
• What were the main criteria for this site to be cited in the list?
• What else?
• Even these are enough, I think. Any other criteria?
• Thank you very much for your information. What would you like to say as
your last words?

A LOOK AT LANGUAGE
THE RELATIVE CLAUSES
‹ngilizcede Relative Clause ismini verdi¤imiz yap›lar hakk›nda bilgi aktar›yoruz.
Ayn› özne veya nesneyi paylaflan cümleleri ayr› ayr› söylemek yerine bu cümlelerin ortak özne veya nesnelerini relative pronoun kullanarak birlefltirebiliriz.
How to Form a Relative Clause?
a) Relative pronoun replacing a subject or relative pronoun as subject:
Look at these two sentences.
The visitor is at the reception desk.
The visitor has a dog.
It is strange to give two different types of information about the same subject
in two different sentences. It is easier to put these two sentences together by the
use of a relative pronoun.
The sentences share the same object ‘the visitor’. So it is possible to combine
these sentences as:
The visitor who (that) is at the reception desk has a dog.
Let us have some more examples. Notice that these sentences share the same
subject noun.
The bell boy lost his key.
The bell boy was not careful.
The bell boy who lost his key was not very careful.
Notice that the relative pronoun is used right after the subject noun.
Here is another example. Notice that the subject noun is not human.
The sauna is on the first floor.
The sauna opens at 8 o’clock.
The sauna which (that) is on the first floor opens at 8 o’clock.
The relative pronouns used for animate (live) subject nouns can be who or
that; for inanimate subject nouns which or that is used.
b) Relative pronoun replacing an object or relative pronoun as object:
Look at these two sentences. The object noun in one sentence is identical to
the subject noun. Therefore, we have a different type of a replacement.
The hotel is on the beach.
117
118
I like this hotel.
Combined with a relative pronoun we have:
The hotel which (that) I like is on the beach.
Now let us look at two sentences where the object and subject nouns are
animate.
The waiter served the customer.
The customer was not nice.
The customer whom (that) the waiter served was not nice.
In this kind of relative clauses it is possible to omit the relative pronouns. So
the above sentences can be rewritten as:
The hotel I like is on the beach.
The customer the waiter served was not nice.
c) Relative pronoun replacing a possessive or relative pronoun as
possessive:
Look at the following sentences: In these sentences we have possessives nouns.
I know the man.
The man’s (his) car was stolen.
I know the man whose car was stolen.
The student writes well.
I read student’s (his) composition.
The student whose composition I read writes well.
When the possessive nouns belong to the inanimate nouns the relative pronoun
is still whose.
Mr Jones has a painting.
Its value is unimaginable.
Mr Jones has a painting whose value is unimaginable
d) Relative clauses starting with a preposition:
The customer is the woman.
I told you about the customer.
The customer is the woman about whom I told you. (very formal English)
The customer is the woman whom (that) I told you about.
The relative pronoun can be omitted.
She is the woman Ø I told you about.
For inanimate possessive nouns:
The music was good.
We listened to it last night. (here it refers to the music)
The music to which we listened last night was good. (very formal English)
OR
The music which we listened to last night was good.
OR
The music that we listened to last night was good.
OR
The music Ø we listened to last night was good.

Divrigi Great Mosque and Hospital are an ornately decorated mosque and a
medical complex recognized for their lovely carvings and architecture. In 1228-29,
when Divrigi was under the rule of the Bey of Mengücek Emir Ahmed Shah, he
commissioned the mosque which stands fully in one piece. The next-door Hospital
was built simultaneously with the mosque by Turan Melek Sultan. The geometrical

and floral patterned reliefs
found on the main door in
particular attract great
interest.
The
architect
probably was inspired by
Armenian and Georgian

dating back to the 4th century
- can also be seen there.
Religious Byzantine paintings

The Historic Areas of Istanbul hold unique monuments from the Byzantine and
Ottoman civilizations. Istanbul’s history is a very long one: already in 395 (then
named Constantinopel) the city was made capital of the Eastern Roman Empire.
The Hagia Sophia dates from this Christian era: it was constructed by Emperor
Justinianus. The Blue Mosque is located just across the street from the Hagia
Sophia. It was built during the 17th century. On the outside are the 6 minarets as
its main characteristics . Inside it is decorated with blue tiles and numerous carpets.

Hattusha is the old capital of the
Hittites, people that lived during the
period of the Egyptian pharaohs. Its
heydays were from 1375 to 1200 BC.
The archaeological site of Hattusha
is notable for its urban organization,
the types of construction that have
been preserved (temples, royal
residences, fortifications), the rich
ornamentation of the Lions’ Gate and
the Royal Gate. The Hittites built their
capital on a site that could be well
defended. It was surrounded by a
wall, to fortify it even more. The wall
was decorated with two gates, the
Kings Gate in the southeast and the
Lions Gate in the southwest

Mount Nemrut comprises the

of
Antiochus. In the first century BC,
the Roman-Persian king Antiochus
I of Commagene (a kingdom north
of Syria and the Euphrates) ordered a
grave and temples to be built on this site. On two sides of the mountaintop terraces
were set up for meters high statues of the gods and himself. The statues represent
Apollo, Fortuna, Heracles and Zeus. The heads of the statues have fallen down in
the course of years, and have been erected again on the place they fell. They are
all about 2 meters high. It is suspected that the grave of Antiochus himself is
hidden under the mountaintop, beneath a heavy layer of debris.

Xanthos-Letoon is an archeological site consisting of two separate locations that
represent the Lycian civilization. Their art work is well known. Some of the
monumental tombs that were taken to the British Museum, the most famous being
the Nereid Monument, the Harpy Monument and the Payava Sarcophagus. Xanthos
was the name of a city in ancient Lycia. It was a center of culture and commerce
for the Lycians. The archeological excavations at Xanthos have yielded many texts
in Lycian and Greek, including several bilingual texts that are useful in the
decipherment of Lycian. The sanctuary of Leto called the Letoon near Xanthos, was
one of the most important religious centers of the Lycian region. The foundations
of the Hellenistic temple dedicated to Leto, and her children, Artemis and Apollo,
have been excavated. Archaeologists have excavated much of the ruins; discoveries
include the Letoon trilingual, bearing inscriptions in Greek, Lycian and Aramaic,
which has provided crucial keys in the deciphering of the Lycian language.

the area. Later excavations
revealed several cities built in
succession to each other successfully. One of the earlier cities (Troy VII) is often
identified with Homeric Troy. Troy is a legendary city and center of the Trojan
War, as described in the Epic Cycle, and especially in the Iliad, one of the two epic

The Neolithic Site of Çatalhöyük consists of two tells with remains from the
Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods. This was a large settlement, and the sites were
permanently inhabited. Mud-brick houses have been found as well as wall paintings
and other decorations. Burials were mostly beneath house floors. The site dates
mainly from 7,400-5,500 BC. A wealth of goods and tools were excavated here,
including stamp seals. The settlement was first excavated between 1961 and 1965.
It has a unique level of preservation for a site of this age.
The findings from the excavations are on exhibit in Ankara Anatolian

Turkey’s cultural fabric is made up of a rich combination of diverse cultures
rooted deeply in history. By virtue of its geographical position, Turkey lies at the
axis of the cultures of the East, the West, the Middle Eastern, the Mediterranean
134
and Islam. Anatolia is one of the world’s oldest human habitats - hosts of civilizations
have called it home - and it enjoys a unique cultural richness with its thousands of
years of history. Anatolia’s cultural variety is so rich that we can see great cultural
differences even in areas geographically quite close to each other. This colorful
portrait holds just as true for Turkey’s music. There are several types of Turkish
music. A) Turkish Classical Music or Turkish Art Music; B) Turkish Classical Music
(in the western tradition); C) Turkish Folk Music; D) Turkish Military Music; E)
Turkish Pop Music.
Turkish Classical Music or Turkish Art Music
Turkish music has passed through many stages along its journey from the depths
of history to the present day. Within the Ottoman Empire, a musical culture
developed among the urban ruling class, who lived separately from the common
people. This musical culture was a high tradition, nourished by divan literature.
The mystical orders of Islam that existed within Ottoman culture also contributed
to the development of this music. This urban upper-class music developed and
from the 16th century on produced musical masterpieces, becoming one of the
greatest musical cultures of its period.
This music is known today as “Turkish Classical Music” or “Turkish Art Music”.
Turkish Art Music or Turkish Classical Music survives today as one of the major art
music of the non-Western World. It is also among the most structurally intact of all
the art music of the core Islamic World.
Turkish art music can be considered within the makam music that is common
from Central Asia to the entire Mediterranean basin. Turkish music is a monophonic
musical tradition founded on the principle of makam. Though the Turkish makams
resemble the makam traditions of surrounding cultures, they contain their own
unique characters of style and execution. The name “makam” is the term applied
to the whole of rules that describe melodic progression patterns (seyir) within
musical scales.
Over four hundred makams exist in Turkish music; however the vast majority
of these are no longer in use today. Basit (simple) makams, Sed (transposed)
makams and Birlesik (compound) makams. To name a few: Basit Makams: Hicaz,
Humayun, Uzzal,Zirgüleli Hicaz, Hüseyni, Muhayyer; Transposed and Compound
Makams: Nihavend, Kürdili Hicazkar, Hicazkar, Hüzzam, Acem Kürdi.
There are numerous composers within this tradition. Some of the notable ones
are Itr›, Dede Efendi, Hac› Arif Bey, fievki Bey, Zekai Dede, Tatyos Efendi of the
pre 20th century and Münir Nureddin Selçuk, fierif ‹çli, Selahaddin P›nar, Sadettin
Kaynak of post 20th century.
Turkish Classical Music (in the western tradition)
Western influence had already begun to be felt in Ottoman music towards the
middle of the 19th century. These increased towards the end of the century, and
led to efforts to change Ottoman music from monodic to polyphonic. With the
declaration of the republic in 1923, Cemal Reflid (REY), who was then studying
music in Europe, returned to Turkey and began to teach at a music school
established in Istanbul. At the same time, a number of talented young people were
sent by the republic to various cities in Europe to study music. After they returned
to Turkey, the group that would later be called ‘Türk Beflleri’ (the Turkish Five)
and which prepared the groundwork for Modern Polyphonic Turkish Music,
135
7. Ünite - A General Outlook to Turkish Culture
emerged. The common aim of the group was to use the traditional themes of
traditional Turkish music together with the values of Western classical music that
they had studied to produce a new polyphonic structure.
The Turkish Five consisted of Cemal Reflit REY, Ulvi Cemal ERK‹N, Hasan Ferit
ALNAR, Ahmet Adnan SAYGUN, and Necil Kaz›m AKSES. Later, others produced
and are still producing works in the same field, including Ekrem Zeki ÜN, Nevit
KODALLI, Ferit TÜZÜN, and Muammer SUN
Turkish Folk Music
The Turks have lived in Anatolia and Thrace for nearly 2000 years. Along with the
musical culture they brought with them from Asia, they have participated in cultural
exchange with the local people in these regions.
Consequently Turkish folk music in Anatolia displays
a special structure comprised of several independent
musical regions.
As opposed to the Turkish classical music, Turkish
folk music shows the local characteristics of the rural
population. Its subjects all are the natural and social
events experienced by the people. The variety in its
musical structure, instruments used, those who
perform the music, and their social positions, are direct
reflections of the people’s lives.
Turkish folk music is fed by two main sources:
türkü (Turkish folk song) singers and âfl›ks. Türkü
singers sing the songs that are performed in all sorts
of celebrations, special rituals, certain religious
gatherings and funerals throughout Anatolia. The
musical patterns as well as the lyrics they use are anonymous.
The Afl›ks (minstrels) are one of the most distinguished and brilliant performers
encountered within the Turkish culture. Generally, they sing lyrics and poetry to
the accompaniment of the saz. Afl›ks are artists that give voice to all of the social
events of the societies in which they exist, and write footnotes to history.

Turkish Military Music
The effective use of music in armies
and in war is an old custom seen in
the history of ancient civilizations. The
music used in the Turkish army started
three or four centuries B.C. This
shows the importance of music in
military life.
Turkish Military Band was called
Mehter. This military band existed
during Ottoman Empire for hundreds
of years. In 1826, it was abolished
and was replaced by new bands
modeled on western style.

Turkish Pop Music
Towards the end of 1950s popular music began to take its place in the musical
scene in Turkey. Popular western concept was introduced and famous western
singers became popular. American style music especially rock’n roll became very
fashionable. Some young university students began to form rock groups. In the
beginning Turkish words for western songs were written and sung by Turkish
singers. Later original lyrics were written for Turkish rock and pop songs and they
were sung by Turkish singers. The first song of this type is “Bak Bir Varm›fl Bir
Yokmus” (Look, once upon a time...) was sung by ‹lham Gencer and his group.
In the 60s there was an increased interest in folk culture. Therefore, pop music
created out of folk songs became very popular. This national folk type of music
was called “Anadolu-pop” (Anatolia pop). In the 60s original compositions written
in Turkish became more popular. Names like Baris Manço and Kurtalan Ekspres,
Erkin Koray, Mogollar and Cem Karaca were the new talents in the Turkish music
scene in 60s. Among these musicians, Timur Selçuk has a unique place. His
compositions were composed to lyrics by master poets.
70s and 80s saw the development of pop music along the Anatolian Pop and
western pop. New names appeared on the scene and more popular music groups
were formed. Some sang to the folk tunes some to the tunes of the classical Turkish
music. Sezen Aksu, Zülfü Livaneli, Modern Folk Üçlüsü, MFÖ are some of the
names who are still prominent and productive in Turkish Pop Music today.

Miniature Art
Miniature is the name given to finely detailed small paintings. Miniature paintings
are used to illustrate documents and books. They try to tell the story of the book
in detail. Therefore, miniature art is related to books. They sometimes detail war
scenes, map or documents; sometimes reflect abstract ideas like heaven and hell
or draw daily events in detail like sultan’s court, hunting scenes, wedding and
circumcision ceremonies.
The first examples of Turkish-Ottoman paintings come from the period of Sultan
Mehmet II (1451-1481). Sultan Mehmet was patron to the arts. Ottoman miniature
painting developed further during Sultan Suleyman the Magnificant’s time. Many artists
were trained in the palace. The Ottoman miniature style included different styles such
as Persian. However, by the eighteenth century the Ottoman painting tradition took
new directions and moved in the direction of the Europen painting tradition. This
brought an end to the Turkish miniature tradition of thousands of years.

The art of painting in the western tradition has been developing for the last 150
years in Turkey. Westernization in Turkey was begun by Sultan Mahmud II at the
beginning of the nineteenth century, was continued by his sons Abdülmecid (18391861) and Abdülaziz (1861-1876). The westernization of Turkish painting
accelerated in those years and the Republic years continued these efforts.
The first experiments with painting in the western sense were made at military
and engineering schools, Mühendishane-i Berri-i Hümayun, and Mekteb-i Fünunu Harbiye, present day Istanbul Technical University and Military Academy
respectively. Painting classes taught how to prepare maps and technical drawing.
Mahmud II had his own portrait painted and hung on the walls of state offices,
and Sultan Abdülaziz was interested in painting and personally painted himself.
The first and important Turkish painters, such as Osman Hamdi Bey, fieker Ahmet
Pafla, Süleymaniye Seyyit and Halil Pafla, received their education in Paris and Europe.
The most important development from the point of view of the art of painting
was the establishment of the state school of art towards the end of the century. We
know that a private school called the Painting Academy had been opened in
Istanbul in 1874 by the artist Guillemet. Students at the school presented their
works to the public at an exhibition in 1876. However, the first body to offer
instruction in contemporary painting in Turkey was the Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi,
later known as the Fine Arts Academy and the present day Mimar Sinan University,
which opened on March 1, 1883. Painter and museum expert Osman Hamdi Bey
had been brought in to head the school the previous year, and it was written that
the school would be offering courses in ‘painting, carving, architecture and
engraving.’ Training in painting henceforth tended to move to such new schools
away from the military academies.
Following the establishment of the Republic, work in the field of painting was
encouraged. The Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi was turned into the Fine Arts Academy
in 1928. The bringing in of instructors from Western countries, and the sending of
Turkish students abroad, continued during this period. Among the artists who
graduated from the Fine Arts Academy in the early years of the Republic were
such figures as fieref Akdik, Refik Epikman, Mahmut Fehmi Cûda, Ali Avni Çelebi,
Zeki Kocamemi and Turgut Zaim.
139
From the 1950s on, a wide variety of artistic trends, movements and ideas can
be seen. Artists influenced by these different trends produced various works,
though none was able to establish superiority over the others. Malik Aksel came
to be known for his research in the field of popular science. Turgut Zaim established
his own style with his landscapes. Bedri Rahman Eyübo¤lu produced works
inspired by handcrafts. Dabri Berkel is prominent in the field of abstract art.
‹brahim Balaban is a self-taught artist inspired by the poet Naz›m Hikmet. Fikret
Mualla, who worked in Paris, proved himself in the international arena. Neflet
Günal is known for his realistic depictions of people in rural areas. Adnan Çoker
turned in the direction of abstract art, and Salih Acar was heavily influenced by
nature.
Recently, artists such as Mehmet Pesen, Kay›han Keskinok, Nedim Günsür,
Fahir Aksoy, fiadan Bezeyifl, Nuri Abaç, Mustafa Asl›er, Turan Erol, Orhan Peker,
Ruzin Gerçin, Ömer Uluç, Özdemir Altan, Dinçer Erimez, Mehmet Güleryüz,
Devrim Erbil and Altan Gürman, as well as members of a later generat›on such as
Nefle Erdok, Oya Kato¤lu, Mustafa Pilevneli, Süleyman Saim Tekcan, Burhan
Uygur, Ergin ‹nan, Gürkan Coflkun (known as ‘Komet’), Gülsüm Karamustafa and
Balkan Naci ‹slimyeli have all made a name for themselves. Another artist well
known abroad for his forward-looking works is Bedri Baykam, from a younger
generation still.
Marbling (Ebru)
Marbling is the art of creating colorful patterns by sprinkling and brushing color
pigments on a pan of oily water and then transforming this pattern to paper.
Marbled paper, called ebru in
Turkish, was used generally in the
binding of books. However, Seljuk
and Ottoman calligraphers and
artists used marbling to decorate
books, imperial decrees, official
correspondence and documents.
New forms and techniques were
created and turned into perfection.
The variations of ebru developed in
time were called gelgit, tarakl›,
hatip,
bülbül
yuvas›,
çiçekli
(respectively come-and-go, combed,
orator, nightingale’s nest, flowery).
Turkey remained the center of
marbling for many centuries.
After the 1550s, booklovers in
Europe prized ebru, which came to
be known as ‘Turkish papers’. There
is agreement amongst scholars that
the so-called Turkish Papers played
a colourful influence on the book arts
in Europe.

Turkish Cuisine
When one talks about the Turkish cuisine, the term should be understood as the
totality of foods and beverages which provide nutrition to the people living in
Turkey, the ways of preparing and
preserving
them;
techniques,
equipment and utensils required for
this, eating manners and all the
practices and beliefs which are
developed around this cuisine. With
a long history, the Turks have a rich
culinary culture.
Turkish Cuisine basically consists
of dishes prepared with cereals,
vegetables with meat, soups, cold
dishes cooked with olive oil, böreks
(pastry filled with different filling)
and of course desserts made with
either with milk or pastry based. One also must remember that bread is one of the
key nutriants in the Turkish cuisine. Turkish cuisine also has some very unique
foods such as pekmez, yogurt, bulgur etc. In Turkey, eating habits vary from
region to region. These habits also show differences from urban to rural areas.
To give a few examples of this culinary wealth: in the Black Sea region alone
there are over twenty different dishes incorporating corn. Also in the Black Sea
region there many different ways of preparing hamsi, a sardine-like fish.
In Kayseri, there are different varieties of past›rma, the ancestor of the pastrami
of the west. They say that there are twenty varieties of past›rma with different
character and flavor such as S›rt, kuflgömü, kenar mehle, e¤rice, omuz, dilme,
flekerpare to name a few.
There are also a great variety of eggplant dishes, salads and types of kebab
(roast meats). B›ld›rc›n kebab›, çevirme kebab›, kuzu çevirme, çöp kebab›, çubuk
kebab›, flifl kebab›, deri kebab›, pideli kebap, Adana kebap, saç kebab›, tas kebab›
and tand›r kebab› are just a few of the many examples.
The reader also must remember that it was Turkish cuisine who gave the world
the Turkish coffee and Turkish delight. We will talk about them in the Useful
Information section of this unit.
In short, Turkish Cuisine, while rich in variety and taste-bud friendly, also
contains examples which could provide a source for healthy and balanced diets
and vegetarian cuisines.

Life Style
Turkey represents the cultural synthesis of many civilizations that can be observed
in the rich social structure of Turkey. Turkey considers itself both European and
Asian, and cherishes this diversity as an asset. Turkey can be regarded as a cultural
bridge between the East and the West.
Turkish Baths

Çemberlitafl Bath,

Turks used steam baths called ‘manchu’ in their homeland of Central Asia. Later
when they moved into Anatolia they brought their bathing tradition with them.
Then, they combined the Roman bath culture with their own. This new synthesis
is the Turkish Bath. Baths were used by
everyone. Men and women came to
bathe at separate times. Bathing was
and still is in some places part of social
life especially for women. They
celebrated important occasions at the
baths, for example: the ‘bridal bath
ceremony’, which was held one day
before wedding festivities commenced;
the ‘forty-day bath’, which marked the
fortieth day following the birth of a
child. So baths carried their own
traditions.
The bathing accessories used by
women are works of art today, and an
indication to us of how rich Turkish bath
culture was. To give few examples;
every family had a pair of ‘bath bowls’,
143
the larger one for the men, the smaller for the women. They were made of silver
or bronze or copper, decorated with reliefs, inlays or fish. There were also soap
dishes, combs and rubbing and lathering mitts. However, one of the most significant
bath accessories were/are the bath clogs. The bath clogs that were worn on the
feet were carved out of wood in special shapes. They were decorated using various
techniques. Being quite high off the floor, they ensured that the bather’s feet never
came into contact with the soapy water. Since they were made of wood, they also
ensured that the bather did not slip and fell while bathing. Of course one of the
most significant outcomes of this bathing tradition is the soft and sought after
Turkish bath towels.

From the days of the Ottoman Empire to the
present, coffee has played an important role in
Turkish lifestyle and culture. The serving and
drinking of coffee has had a profound effect on
political and social interactions and hospitality
traditions throughout the centuries.
Coffee was first brought to Istanbul in 1555
by two Syrian traders. By the mid-16th century, Turkish coffee became part of
elaborate ceremonies involving the Ottoman court. For both men and women,
coffee has been at the center of political and
social interaction. During the Ottoman period,
and in present day Turkey, women socialized
with each other over coffee and sweets. Men
socialized in coffee houses to discuss politics
and to play backgammon. Over the years,
Turkish coffee houses have become social
institutions providing a place to meet and talk.
Today, Turkish coffee houses continue their role
in society as a meeting place for both the
cultured citizen and the inquisitive traveler.
Istanbul offers many new and delightful caferestaurants where friends and family meet to
discuss topics of the day over a cup of traditional
Turkish coffee.
147
Derived from the Arabica bean, Turkish coffee is a very fine, powder-like grind.
Turkish coffee has various levels of sweetness ranging from bitter to very sweet.
Turkish coffee is served hot from a special coffee pot called cezve. Rich in tradition
and flavor, Turkish coffee remains a favorite today, not only in Turkey, but also
among discriminating coffee drinkers around the world.
Turkish Delight
Turkish delight or as Turks call it Lokum is a favorite confection in Turkey. The
recipe for lokum was first invented by Hac› Bekir, the court confectioner for the
sultan who was tired of hard candy.
Hac› Bekir’s confectionary shop is still
there where one can buy different
kinds of lokum.
It is made of corn starch,
caramelized sugar and cream of tartar.
For flavoring rose water, mastic or
lemon may be used, and the additions
of chopped pistachios, hazelnuts or
walnuts make lokum tastier. Lokum is
packaged in small bite size cubes with
icing sugar to prevent them from
sticking.
Lokum was introduced to the western world in the 19th century. There is a
rumor that the world Turkish Delight for lokum was first used by an English
traveler. In the past, before the packaging industry took over, it was customary to
put lokum into silk handkerchiefs.
Musical Instruments of Turkey
Ba¤lama
Ba¤lama is the most commonly used string folk instrument in Turkey. It takes
different names according to the regions and according to its size such as Baglama,
Divan Sazi, Bozuk, Çö¤ür, Kopuz Irizva, Cura, Tambura, etc.
Cura is the smallest member of the baglama family with the highest pitched
sound. The member one size bigger than cura which gives a sound that is one
octave lower than cura is the tambura. And the one with the deepest sound is the
Divan sazi whose sound is one octave lower compared to tambura.
Baglama has three main parts called Tekne, Gö¤üs and Sap. Tekne part is
generally made from mulberry trees as well as from woods of juniper, beech,
spruce or walnut. The gögüs part is made from spruce and the sap section from
homespun or juniper.
There are pieces called burgu (screw) at the end of the sap which is opposite
to tekne part to which the strings are tied. These screws are used for tuning. There
are pitches on the sap tied with fish line. Baglama is played with a Mizrap or
Tezene made from cherry wood bark or plastic and fingers are used in some
regions. The later technique is called Selpe.
There are three string groups on Baglama in groups of two or three. These
string groups can be tuned in a variety of ways. For example in the tuning style
called baglama Düzeni, the strings in the lower group give ‘la’, middle group

strings and upper group strings give ‘mi’ notes. Besides this type of tuning there
are Kara Düzen, Misket Düzeni Müstezat, Abdal Düzeni, Rast Düzeni etc. styles.
Karadeniz Kemencesi
Karadeniz Kemencesi is a bowed Turkish folk instrument. As can be surmised
from its name it is an instrument widely used in the Black Sea Region. Its body is
made from mulberry, plum and juniper woods. The wooden part of the bow
generally rose wood or box wood. Horse hair is tied to the ends of the bow.
Kemence is a three-string instrument. While kiris strings from gut used be put
on kemences, these days mostly metal strings are used.
Kemence is an instrument without pitches and and it is possible to get from it
all types of chromatic sounds easily. It is generally played by pressing two strings
at the same time and getting parallel quarter notes. It is furthermore played with a
special technique which is achieved with wrist movements.
Zurna
Zurna is a Turkish folk instrument of the wind type. Because of its strong sound it
is generally played in the open air, on occasions such as village weddings, sending
off the boys to military service, sport encounters, folk dances and similar ceremonial
events. It was the first melody instrument of the Mehter teams (Janissaries Band)
in the Ottoman period. It was also used in some traditional theater (orta oyunu)
performances. It is generally accompanied with a drum. Because of the difficulty
of its intonation and its high sound level, it is not used in musical groups. However,
in the recent years it started to be used by some folk music groups.
Zurna has a sound range of nearly two octaves and has eight melody keys with
seven of them on the front and one on the back. The key at the back is so located
as to come between the first two notes towards the reed section at the front. The
keys are generally round with 6-8mm diameters. The length of the instrument
changes between 30 - 60 cm and widens out like a funnel starting from the part
the melody holes end. This section is called the kalak. At the blowing end there is
a thin pipe like rod over which the reed goes. This rod is called Metem. A separate
circular piece with a hole in the middle is put over the Metem to help the breathing
technique. This piece is called Avurtluk. The most common zurna playing technique
is the continuous playing technique where while the air collected in the cave of
the mouth is blown out from the reed, inhaling through nostrils occurs
simultaneously.
There are seven holes besides the melody keys on the kalak section which are
smaller in diameter. They are called seytan deligi (devil’s hole) or cin deligi (genie’s
hole). They can be closed with wax or a similar material according to the sound
hunting of the player.
The instrument which changes between 60 and 30 cm. in length as we have
already mentioned is divided into three types according to its sound : Kaba Zurna,
Orta Kaba Zurna and Cura Zurna (Zil Zurna). They are generally made from wood
of trees such as plums, apricots, walnut, saber etc.
Kaval
Kaval is a Turkish folk instrument of the wind type. It is known as the instrument of
the shepherds. It is also called Guval and Kuval in different regions. The belief that
the shepherd leads his sheep flock with his kaval is a wide spread belief among the
people. The word kaval is probably a derivative from the word “kav” which means
hollow on the inside.
Its sound range is about 2.5-3 octaves. It is widely used instrument in the folk
music groups of today and can be used as a solo instrument within an ensemble.
Kaval preserves its sound characteristics when played together with other
instruments.
As kavals are not produced to any defined standards what can be said about
its dimensions has to be very general. Its length may vary between 30 cm and 80
cm and its diameter is approximately 1.5 cm. It has 7 melody keys on the front and
one underneath. Besides these, there are also 4 other keys at the lower section of
the instrument called Seytan Deli¤i and Hazreti Ali.
Kavals are divided into two main types as Dilli Kaval and Dilsiz Kaval and are
generally made from the wood of the plum tree.
Davul
Davul (drum) is the oldest known percussion instrument. It can be in different
sizes and is generally used in open spaces on occasions such as weddings, folk
dances or different ceremonies. It consists of a circular wooden frame and a hoop
made from two skins and covered with skin which is put on the frame with the
help of strong strings or leather ribbons.
It is played while hung on the shoulder with knitted or leather strap. The skin on
one side of the drum is thick while on the other is thinner. The thin one is made
from goat, the thick one from sheep skin. The thick skin side is hit with a tokmak
and the thin skinned one with a light wooden stick. It is possible to scan or treble
with the thin stick. The drum can either be played hung to the shoulder or holding
it under the arm and using hands.
Davul is especially used during Ramadan to wake people up before beginning
the fast.

Dear Mr. Dolu
Thank you very much for your enquiry dated May 16th. However, we very
much regret that the hotel is fully booked for the week of May 31st - June 6th.
There might be some last-minutes cancellations, but we shall not know
definitely until the end of next week. If, by then, you have not found the
required rooms, perhaps you will care to contact us again, and we shall
certainly do our very best to accommodate you.
We are very sorry that we cannot be more helpful at the moment.
Yours sincerely,

Re: Holiday in Alanya Complaint.
Dear Ms Sover,
Thank you for your letter of 18th September. I was sorry to hear that you
were disappointed by the service you received on your holiday.
I have investigated your complaint that the villa was not cleaned by the maid
on the last two days of your holiday. I have spoken to our representative in
Alanya and it seems that the problems were due to the fact that the maid was
ill. Unfortunately, we were not able to find a replacement at such short notice.
Please accept my sincere apologies. I can assure you that we will take steps
to ensure that this does not occur again. As a sign of goodwill, I enclose a
brochure for next year and a voucher which entitles you to 10% off the
advertised price of any holiday booked before 31st January.
Yours sincerely,
Kadir Temizel,

A LOOK AT LANGUAGE
AMAÇLARIMIZ
Bu bölümde
yaz›l› dille konuflma dili aras›ndaki farkl›l›klar üzerinde duruyoruz.
OBJECTIVES
Yaz›l› dilin daha formal oldu¤unu hat›rlayarak ‹ngilizcede kullan›lan kal›plara
dikkat edin.
In the use of languages, there are
always differences between spoken
language and written language. Also,
different languages have different levels
of informality and formality. Certainly, the
level of formality depends on to whom
you are communicating, why you write or
speak to that person and the context (the
situation of speech or writing).
In general, written English is more formal than spoken English. There are some
reasons for this. First, we do not personally know the readers of our texts, therefore
we need to be clear in our words and sentences. Second, writers do not have the
chance to see what the reader does not understand in their texts, so they must
explain the ideas and concepts more clearly and in great detail. Finally, writers
cannot know the readers’ attitudes towards the ideas or opinions in the written
texts, thus, they have to be quite formal in their writing.
Here are some characteristics and differences between formal written and less
formal spoken English (Reid, 2000: 5-6):
161
Characteristics
Example (Formal)
Example (Informal)
more-formal
vocabulary

less-colloquial

fewer questions and
exclamation
sentences

fewer personal
pronouns
Most consumers prefer Brand
A
I love Brand A, and you will,
too!
more complex
sentences

for their children’s education,
leaving behind their lives in
Pakistan.
My father and mother came to
America. They came for their
children’s education. So they
left their lives in Pakistan.
Two recent research studies
more specific
(Anderson, 1998; Li, 1997)
evidence (more detail)
report that…
instead What do you think X means?
of
You’re right!
Ya know what I mean?
In addition to the table above, be careful about the use of the following types
of language in formally written texts:
Contractions:
it didn’t
(Use “it did not”)
They’ve
(Use “They have”)
Hesitation fillers:
Um, well, huh (Use the punctuation marks and transition words)
Imprecise words:
Lots of
(Use “many”)
Nice
(Use “excellent, pleasent”)
Big
(Use “large”)
Things
(Use “reasons, problems, issues”)
Like
(Use “such as”)
Abbreviated forms:
e.g.
(Use “for example”)
i.e.
(Use “that is”)
etc.
(Use “and so on”)
SIRA S‹ZDE
Read the following sentences and write F (formal) or I (informal)
in the column.
YOUR TURN

The project will be completed next year.

A LOOK AT LANGUAGE OF HOTEL LETTERS
Bu bölümde size otel yaz›flmalar›nda kullan›lan baz› kal›p ifadelerden örnekler
sunuyoruz. Bu ifadeleri bir çok yaz›flma türünde kullanabilirsiniz.
Here are some phrases used in business letters:
Greeting
Name unknown: Dear Sir/Madam,
Name known: Dear Mr…/ Dear Mrs… / Dear Ms..+ surname
Reason for writing
I am writing to … I am writing with regard to …
I am writing on behalf of …
Asking questions
I would be grateful if … I wonder if you could ….
Could you …?
Referring to their letter
/points
As you stated in your letter, …. Regarding …/ Concerning …
With regard to ….
Closing expressions
If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Signing off
If Dear + name: Yours sincerely,
If Dear Sir/ Madam: Yours faithfully
(Dear + first name : Yours,)
Name
Your first name + surname printed clearly under your signature
HOW WOULD YOU WRITE IT?
Bu bölümde sizden benzer mektuplar yazman›z› isteyece¤iz. Örnek mektuplar için
ünite sonundaki cevap anahtar›n› kullanabilirsiniz.
If you want to reserve a room:
Include all relevant details in your letter, including your complete contact
information, date and time of arrival and departure, number of days of your stay,
type of room and any special needs or requests such as a smoking or nonsmoking
room.
Use a professional tone when writing your letter. Your salutation should be,
“To Whom It May Concern” or “Dear Sir or Madam.” Also include today’s date at
the top of the letter. The body of the letter should be to the point. It should
specifically state what you need and how you will pay.
Hotel reservation letters can vary in style. But, just make sure you give the
reservation staff all the information they need to make sure there are no
misunderstandings or disappointments on arrival.
Every specific piece of information should be in a separate paragraph. This
makes for easier reading.
Keep it short and sweet (it’s not an essay), and don’t forget the following
information:
1. Opening (example):
Dear Sir/Madam
My name is (your name) and I would like to book a (type of room) in your
hotel for (number) nights.
2. Dates and times: (important)
I/We will be arriving on (date, including the day of the week) at approximately
(time). Departure will be on (date, including the day of the week) at (time).
Notes: -State the date and approximate time of arrival and departure because it
helps the staff know which guests will be arriving first to prepare the way for
them, so waiting time for your room is kept to a minimum.
-It’s always a good idea to also include how many nights you will be staying in
brackets. This is a good way for the reservation staff to double check the length of
your stay as hotels count nights and not days when preparing your invoice.
-Remember, even if you arrive there at 2 o’clock in the morning, that night
counts and you are seldom entitled to remain in your room after 12 o’clock noon
on your departure date.
3. Number of people: (important)
How many adults? How many children? (always include children’s ages).
4. Room type(s) and preferred location(s):
Single, double, suite, ground floor, top floor, overlooking the sea, etc.
5. Board preferences: (important)
Self-catering/bed & breakfast/half board/full board/all-inclusive
Note: make sure the hotel you are considering has the services you desire as
not all hotels offer things like all-inclusive, and what you get for each type of
service may vary from one hotel or country to another depending on their policies
(find out before making your reservation to avoid disappointments).
6. Special needs/desires: (optional)
Some people may have health conditions which may require special attention
(migraine sufferers would probably want a quiet room far away from any
163
164
entertainment facilities, for example). Business men/women may need an internet
connection in their rooms, while others may just have special preferences
(overlooking the sea, rooms on upper floors, etc). These should be specified in
your letter.
Note: Obviously the needs of those with medical conditions will be given more
importance than other preferences if the hotel is fully booked, so don’t be surprised
if you cannot get what you wanted unless you have the option and have paid for
it specifically.
7. Facilities: (depending on the hotel)
If there are special facilities (sauna, jacuzzi, etc.) which need to be reserved
before using them, you may wish to do so in advance to avoid waiting.
8. Contact information: (important)
Especially your phone number, cell phone and/or fax number.
*The main thing to remember is to include all the important information above
and keep the hotel reservation letter short. The hotel staff prefers it that way and
it helps to avoid confusion.

If you want to confirm a reservation of a room:
Confirmation letter is very important in order to make a people sure that their
request is obtained and being handled. Include all relevant details in your letter,
date and time of arrival and departure, number of days of the stay, type of room
and any special needs or requests such as a smoking or nonsmoking room as
requested by the guest.
Just like the reservation letter, use a professional tone when writing your letter.
Your salutation should be, “Mr./Mrs./Ms./Dr., etc” as indicated in the reservation
letter. Also include today’s date at the top of the letter. The body of the letter
should be to the point. It should specifically state the details of the payment and
other facilities you may provide your guests with.

Dear Mr Terly,
Thank you very much for your interest shown in our hotel. Enclosed you will
find our hotel brochure and the room rates.
Inside the brochure you will find the restaurant, but it is closed. We only
serve drinks at the reception.
You asked about other facilities such as fitness room, conference halls and
restaurants. But we have none of these. We are a low-class hotel with 10
rooms and we don’t need these facilities.
I am not sure if you really mean our hotel? Because your questions look like
you expected a high-class hotel.
Anyway, I hope to welcome you in our hotel.
With kindest regards.
Osman Yatar

Dear Sir,

OBJECTIVES
N N
My husband and I have recently returned from one of your Golden Group
holidays in Tunisia.
We chose this holiday in preference to many others as we were assured both
in the brochure and by your agency staff that this particular package catered
for retired couples like ourselves. We understood that our specially organized
activities would be run by mature friendly hostesses. However on arrival at
our destination we were met by a very youthful rep who very curtly told us
that there were only two other people on the golden group package and that,
as a result, we could join in the activities organized for other groups or fend
for ourselves. Since our tastes do not include hard rock or late-night pub
crawls we asked to be moved to another hotel. We were told that if we did
this it would have to be at our expense.
As a result we decided to stay where we were and to organize our own
entertainment.
Now that we have returned home we feel obliged to draw your attention to
our deep dissatisfaction with the service we received. Not only were we
deceived by the information in your brochure but we were not properly
treated by your staff in the resort.
We hope that this matter will be rectified to our satisfaction in the near future
and look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Yours faithfully
Katherine Hopper

Preparing curriculum vitae (CV) is an important footstep
in searching for any job or training. The CV is often the
first contact with a potential employer. It should grasp
the reader’s interest directly and to express why they
must give you an interview. Below are some important
considerations given by the European Union:
(Adapted from www.eea.europa.eu)
Take care over the presentation of your CV: Set out
your qualifications, skills and competences clearly and
logically, so that your specific attributes are easily seen.
Give proper attention to all relevant detail, both of
substance and presentation; there is no excuse for
mistakes in spelling and punctuation!
Concentrate on the essentials:
• a CV must be brief: in most cases, two pages are
enough to show who and what you are. A three page
CV may be considered too long in some countries,
even if your work experience is outstanding.
• if your work experience is still limited (because you
have just left school or university), describe your
education and training first; highlight work
placements during training (see online examples);
• concentrate on essential information that brings
added value to your application: work experience
or training which is old or not relevant for the
application can be omitted.
Adapt your CV to suit the post applied for:
Systematically check your CV every time you want to
send it to an employer to see if it corresponds to the
profile required; highlight your advantages according
to the specific requirements of the prospective
employer. A good knowledge of the company will help
you tailoring your CV to the appropriate profile.
Keep to the structure of the template:
The Europass curriculum vitae allows you to present
your qualifications, skills and competences in a logical
order:
• personal information;
• description of your work experience;
• description of your education and training (which
may appear before the heading ‘Work experience’
for users with limited work experience; to invert the
order of the two headings, use the ‘copy/paste’
command in your word processing software);
• detailed inventory of your skills and competences,
acquired in the course of your training, work and
daily life.
Notes:
• print your curriculum vitae on white paper;
• retain the suggested font and layout;
• avoid underlining or writing whole sentences in
capitals or bold: it affects the readability of the
document;
• do not split an entry under one heading over two
pages (e.g. your list of training courses) - to avoid
this use the ‘page break’ command in your word
processing software;
• the boxes containing the various headings should
not appear when the document is printed.
Be clear and concise:
Your profile must be appreciated by the potential
employer after a few seconds’ reading. In consequence:
• use short sentences;
• concentrate on the relevant aspects of your training
and work experience;
• explain any breaks in your studies or career;
• remove any optional heading (e.g. if you have no
‘Artistic skills and competences’ (see page 2 of the
template) or if you consider that such skills and
competences do not bring added value to your
application, remove the whole entry using the ‘cut’
command in your word processing software.
Have someone else read your CV on completion:
Check your CV carefully once you have filled it in to
remove any spelling mistakes and to ensure it is laid
out clearly and logically. Have someone else read your
CV so that you are sure the content is clear and easy to
understand.

Sample Letter:
Dear Sir,
Teenagers have just as much right to vote in the
election as adults. As citizens of this country, many
of us care deeply about what happens to it. Some
people think teenagers are too irresponsible to
make the important decisions involved in voting
but many of us are far more mature than most
adults. In conclusion, we should be given a chance
to prove ourselves as the mature and responsible
young people we are.
Yours faithfully,

Letter 1 is in Turkish, so the guest does not understand
it.
Letter 2 is almost OK but it does not give specific and
enough information about the hotel, its facilities and
the contact information.
Letter 3 gives the best information for the customer.
Letter 4 is not meeting the needs of the guest.
