1.1

A boat is a small vehicle that moves on water. People use boats for many things, like fishing, traveling, and having fun. Boats come in many shapes and sizes.

Bir tekne, su üzerinde hareket eden küçük bir araçtır. İnsanlar balık tutmak, seyahat etmek ve eğlenmek gibi birçok şey için tekneleri kullanır. Tekneler birçok şekil ve boyutta gelir.

1.2

Boats have been used for thousands of years. The first boats were made from simple materials like wood and reeds. People used paddles to move them. Over time, boats got better. They started using sails to catch the wind.

Tekneler binlerce yıldır kullanılmaktadır. İlk tekneler ahşap ve saz gibi basit malzemelerden yapılmıştır. İnsanlar onları hareket ettirmek için kürekler kullandı. Zamanla tekneler daha iyi hale geldi. Rüzgarı yakalamak için yelken kullanmaya başladılar.

1.3

There are many types of boats. Rowboats are small and moved by paddles. Sailboats use sails and the wind to move. Motorboats have engines that make them go fast. Canoes and kayaks are narrow boats moved by paddles. Ferries are bigger boats that carry people and cars across rivers or lakes.

Birçok tekne türü vardır. Kürekli tekneler küçüktür ve küreklerle hareket eder. Yelkenliler, hareket etmek için yelkenleri ve rüzgarı kullanır. Motorlu tekneler, onları hızlı götüren motorlara sahiptir. Kano ve kayıklar, küreklerle hareket eden dar teknelerdir. Feribotlar, nehirler veya göller boyunca insanları ve arabaları taşıyan daha büyük teknelerdir.

1.5

Boats can be made from different materials. Some boats are made of wood. Others are made of metal or plastic. The material used depends on what the boat is for. Big ships are often made of metal, while small boats can be made of wood or plastic.

Tekneler farklı malzemelerden yapılabilir. Bazı tekneler ahşaptan yapılmıştır. Diğerleri metal veya plastikten yapılmıştır. Kullanılan malzeme, teknenin ne için kullanılacağına bağlıdır. Büyük gemiler genellikle metalden yapılırken, küçük tekneler ahşap veya plastikten yapılabilir.

1.6

1.7

Fun fact : The longest boat in the world is called a supertanker. It is used to carry oil across the ocean. Some supertankers are over 400 meters long! They are so big that they cannot fit in many harbors.

İlginç gerçek: Dünyanın en uzun gemisine süpertanker denir. Okyanus boyunca petrol taşımak için kullanılır. Bazı süpertankerler 400 metreden daha uzundur! O kadar büyükler ki birçok limana sığmazlar.
