🇬🇧 I Want to Be a Pilot

My name is Murat, and I am nineteen years old. I want to become a pilot one day.

When I was a child, I was very interested in airplanes. I often watched them in the sky and tried to guess where they were going. At primary school, my teacher once asked our class, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Some students wanted to be doctors or teachers. I said, “I want to be a pilot.”

My classmates smiled, but I was serious. That day, I drew a picture of an airplane in my notebook. I still remember it.

As I grew older, I started to learn more about aviation. I discovered that becoming a pilot takes a lot of time and effort. Pilots need to study subjects such as weather, navigation, safety, and aircraft systems. English is also very important because pilots use it to communicate with air traffic controllers and other pilots.

Last year, I visited a flight school with my uncle. An instructor showed us the classrooms and the training airplanes. He explained that students have theory lessons first. They also need to pass a medical examination before they can begin flight training.

A few months later, I started taking aviation lessons. At first, some subjects were difficult, especially navigation and weather. I took notes, watched videos, and asked my teachers many questions.

Then I had my first flight lesson.

Before takeoff, my instructor and I checked the airplane together. He showed me the controls and explained what each one did. I was nervous, but I was also very excited.

When the airplane left the ground, I looked out of the window. The houses, roads, and fields looked very small below us.

It was an unforgettable moment.

I know I still have a long way to go. I need to improve my English, pass my exams, and complete many hours of flight training.

But I am ready to work hard.

One day, I hope to enter the cockpit as a real pilot and say, “Welcome aboard.”

🇹🇷 Pilot Olmak İstiyorum

Benim adım Murat ve on dokuz yaşındayım. Bir gün pilot olmak istiyorum.

Çocukken uçaklara çok ilgi duyuyordum. Onları sık sık gökyüzünde izler ve nereye gittiklerini tahmin etmeye çalışırdım. İlkokuldayken öğretmenim bir gün sınıfa, “Büyüyünce ne olmak istiyorsunuz?” diye sordu. Bazı öğrenciler doktor veya öğretmen olmak istiyordu. Ben ise, “Pilot olmak istiyorum,” dedim.

Sınıf arkadaşlarım gülümsedi ama ben ciddiydim. O gün defterime bir uçak resmi çizdim. Bunu hâlâ hatırlıyorum.

Büyüdükçe havacılık hakkında daha fazla şey öğrenmeye başladım. Pilot olmanın çok fazla zaman ve emek gerektirdiğini öğrendim. Pilotların hava durumu, navigasyon, güvenlik ve uçak sistemleri gibi konuları çalışması gerekir. İngilizce de çok önemlidir çünkü pilotlar hava trafik kontrolörleri ve diğer pilotlarla iletişim kurmak için İngilizce kullanır.

Geçen yıl amcamla birlikte bir uçuş okulunu ziyaret ettim. Bir eğitmen bize sınıfları ve eğitim uçaklarını gösterdi. Öğrencilerin önce teorik dersler aldığını açıkladı. Ayrıca uçuş eğitimine başlamadan önce sağlık muayenesinden geçmeleri gerektiğini söyledi.

Birkaç ay sonra havacılık dersleri almaya başladım. Başta bazı konular zordu, özellikle navigasyon ve hava durumu. Not aldım, videolar izledim ve öğretmenlerime birçok soru sordum.

Sonra ilk uçuş dersimi yaptım.

Kalkıştan önce eğitmenimle birlikte uçağı kontrol ettik. Bana kontrolleri gösterdi ve her birinin ne işe yaradığını açıkladı. Gergindim ama aynı zamanda çok heyecanlıydım.

Uçak yerden ayrıldığında pencereden dışarı baktım. Aşağımızdaki evler, yollar ve tarlalar çok küçük görünüyordu.

Bu unutulmaz bir andı.

Hâlâ önümde uzun bir yol olduğunu biliyorum. İngilizcemi geliştirmem, sınavlarımı geçmem ve birçok saatlik uçuş eğitimini tamamlamam gerekiyor.

Ama çok çalışmaya hazırım.

Bir gün gerçek bir pilot olarak kokpite girmeyi ve “Uçağımıza hoş geldiniz,” demeyi umuyorum.

A Simple Day

It is Sunday morning, and Deniz wakes up much earlier than usual. When she looks at the clock, it is only 6:10. She stays in bed for a few minutes, but she does not feel sleepy anymore, so she gets up and opens the balcony door.

The morning air is cool and fresh. Deniz makes herself a cup of coffee and sits outside. The street is still quiet, but the city is slowly starting to wake up. A woman is walking her dog, a delivery man is carrying boxes into a small shop, and the bakery across the street has just opened.

Deniz enjoys watching everything from her balcony.

While she is drinking her coffee, she starts thinking about her day.

“What should I do today?” she asks herself.

Then she realizes that she has not really gone out and explored the city for a long time. During the week, she usually goes to work and comes straight home. At weekends, she often does housework, buys groceries, or spends time watching movies.

She decides that today should be different.

After breakfast, Deniz takes a shower and chooses a comfortable summer dress. She puts on her trainers, takes her sunglasses and a small book, and leaves the house without making a detailed plan.

She takes the bus to one of her favorite neighborhoods. She likes this area because there are old buildings, small bookstores, cafés, and interesting little shops.

First, she visits a bookstore and slowly walks between the shelves. After looking around for almost forty minutes, she chooses a novel that looks interesting.

A little later, Deniz finds a café with a few tables outside. She orders an iced Americano and sits near the window. She opens her new book, but sometimes she stops reading to watch the people passing by.

In the afternoon, she decides to walk toward the seaside. The weather is warm, but a light breeze makes the walk pleasant. She buys an ice cream and finds a quiet place near the water.

For a while, she simply watches the boats moving across the sea.

On her way home, Deniz stops at a flower shop and buys a small bunch of white flowers.

That evening, she puts them in a vase, makes some tea, and returns to the balcony. She thinks about her day and smiles.

Nothing extraordinary happened, but she feels happy and refreshed.

Sometimes, you do not need a big plan to have a beautiful day.

Türkçe Çeviri – Basit Bir Gün

Pazar sabahıdır ve Deniz her zamankinden çok daha erken uyanır. Saate baktığında henüz 6:10 olduğunu görür. Birkaç dakika yatakta kalır ama artık uykusu gelmediği için kalkar ve balkon kapısını açar.

Sabah havası serin ve ferahtır. Deniz kendine bir fincan kahve yapar ve balkonda oturur. Sokak hâlâ sessizdir ama şehir yavaş yavaş uyanmaya başlamıştır. Bir kadın köpeğini gezdiriyordur, bir teslimat görevlisi küçük bir dükkâna kutular taşıyordur ve karşıdaki fırın yeni açılmıştır.

Deniz balkonundan etrafı izlemekten keyif alır.

Kahvesini içerken gününü düşünmeye başlar.

“Bugün ne yapsam?” diye kendi kendine sorar.

Sonra uzun zamandır gerçekten dışarı çıkıp şehri gezmediğini fark eder. Hafta içi genellikle işe gider ve doğrudan eve döner. Hafta sonları ise çoğu zaman ev işleri yapar, market alışverişine çıkar ya da film izleyerek vakit geçirir.

Bugünün farklı olmasına karar verir.

Kahvaltıdan sonra Deniz duş alır ve rahat bir yazlık elbise seçer. Spor ayakkabılarını giyer, güneş gözlüğünü ve küçük bir kitabı yanına alır ve ayrıntılı bir plan yapmadan evden çıkar.

Otobüse binip en sevdiği semtlerden birine gider. Eski binalar, küçük kitapçılar, kafeler ve ilginç küçük dükkânlar olduğu için bu bölgeyi çok sever.

İlk olarak bir kitapçıya gider ve rafların arasında yavaşça dolaşır. Yaklaşık kırk dakika etrafa baktıktan sonra ilgisini çeken bir roman seçer.

Bir süre sonra Deniz dışarıda birkaç masası olan bir kafe bulur. Buzlu bir Americano sipariş eder ve pencerenin yakınında oturur. Yeni kitabını açar ama bazen okumayı bırakıp önünden geçen insanları izler.

Öğleden sonra sahile doğru yürümeye karar verir. Hava sıcaktır ama hafif esen rüzgâr yürüyüşü keyifli hâle getirir. Bir dondurma alır ve suyun yakınında sakin bir yer bulur.

Bir süre boyunca sadece denizde ilerleyen tekneleri izler.

Eve dönerken Deniz bir çiçekçide durur ve küçük bir demet beyaz çiçek alır.

O akşam çiçekleri bir vazoya koyar, kendine çay yapar ve yeniden balkona çıkar. Gününü düşünür ve gülümser.

Olağanüstü hiçbir şey olmamıştır ama kendini mutlu ve yenilenmiş hisseder.

Bazen güzel bir gün geçirmek için büyük bir plana ihtiyacınız yoktur.

My Weekly Routine

My name is Kerem, and I am thirty-four years old. I live in Eskişehir and work as a baker. My family has a small bakery near the city center. My job is tiring because I wake up very early, but I enjoy making fresh bread and cakes.

My week starts on Monday. I wake up at four thirty in the morning. First, I drink a cup of tea and walk to the bakery. At five o’clock, I start making bread. My father usually arrives a little later and helps me. By seven o’clock, the bakery is full of the smell of fresh bread.

Tuesday is usually a quieter day. I make bread, simit, and some pastries. In the afternoon, I finish work at about three o’clock. When I get home, I often take a short nap because I am very tired. In the evening, I sometimes meet my friends for tea.

On Wednesday, we make cakes too. Customers often order birthday cakes in the middle of the week. I like decorating cakes, but I am not very good at drawing names with chocolate. Sometimes the letters look terrible. My sister laughs and says, “Maybe you should only make bread!”

Thursday is shopping day. After work, I go to the market and buy flour, eggs, butter, chocolate, and other things for the bakery. I always make a list because I forget things easily. Last week, I forgot the eggs and had to go back to the shop!

Friday is very busy. Many people buy bread and desserts for the weekend. I usually work until five o’clock. My feet hurt at the end of the day, but I feel happy when the bakery is busy.

Saturday is our busiest day. I wake up at four o’clock and make extra bread, cakes, and pastries. Sometimes we sell everything before the afternoon.

We close the bakery on Sunday. I sleep until nine or ten o’clock, have a long breakfast, and spend time with my family. If the weather is nice, I ride my bicycle or sit in a café.

My week starts very early, and I work hard. But I love my job. Every morning, when I see people buying warm bread, I feel proud of what I do.
