Conditionals — If Cümleleri (1. ve 2. Tip)
"Eğer ... olursa, ... olur" yapısı. İngilizce'de iki temel tip vardır: First Conditional (gerçek olabilecek durumlar) ve Second Conditional (hayali/olası olmayan durumlar).
📌 First Conditional — Gerçek durumlar
| If clause | Main clause | Örnek |
|---|---|---|
| If + Present Simple | will + V1 | If it rains, we will stay at home. |
| If + Present Simple | can/may/might + V1 | If you study, you can pass the exam. |
1st Conditional örnekler
If you heat water, it will boil. (doğa kanunu)
If she calls, I will tell her the news.
Unless you hurry, we will miss the bus.
If I have time, I will help you.
📌 Second Conditional — Hayali/olası olmayan
| If clause | Main clause | Örnek |
|---|---|---|
| If + Past Simple | would + V1 | If I had wings, I would fly to Paris. |
| If + were (to be) | would + V1 | If I were you, I wouldn't do that. |
🔀
"If it rains tomorrow, I will take an umbrella." (gerçekçi ihtimal)
2nd Conditional → hayal, şu an gerçek değil:

2nd Conditional → hayal, şu an gerçek değil:
"If I were a bird, I would fly to Africa." (imkânsız/hayal)
"If I had a million dollars, I would travel the world." (şu an yok)

The Algorithm and Your Brain
sarı işaretli kelimeler bu ünitenin hedef yapıları ve kalıplarıdır.
Social media platforms use powerful algorithms to keep you on their apps for as long as possible. If you click on a video about cats, the algorithm will immediately show you more. If you watch content that makes you angry, you will stay online longer — and that is exactly what these companies want.
The problem is becoming serious. A 2019 study of more than 6,500 American teenagers found a clear pattern: if teenagers spend more than three hours a day on social media, they are more likely to report problems such as anxiety and depression. If this pattern continues, many experts warn, young people's mental health will continue to suffer.
Unless we become conscious users of technology, it will control us — not the other way around.
The good news: many young people are fighting back. Some say that when they delete certain apps, they feel calmer and sleep better.
Experts recommend simple rules: before you go to bed, switch off your phone. After you wake up, wait at least 30 minutes before checking social media. If you follow these guidelines, you will probably feel the difference.

If you spend too much time on social media, your sleep gets worse — this is a scientific fact. If I study at night, I will be tired the next morning. I will definitely take more screen breaks when I feel my concentration dropping. As soon as I finish my exams, I will do a digital detox.
2Teknoloji görüşü

In my opinion, social media has more negative effects than positive ones for students my age. If students use their phones less, they will focus much better in class. Unless we set clear time limits, technology will control our lives. I plan to use the app blocker as soon as school starts.
