TURKISH EATING HABIT

Turkey has a different eating habit considering other countries,and also food is very important for Turkish citizens.I think that we have an affluent cuisine.Our country have variety of foods in different part of it.For example;in the north part of it,seafoods are very common,and delicious.They eat fish,and hamsi,etc,and also they can do variety of foods with fish from rice to bread.And in the east part of it,people eat spicy foods with meat,as iskender,adana,raw meatball.In addition to them,in the south part of Turkey,people usually eat vegetables.They don't like eating meat.Their cuisine is far from the cuisine in the east part.They think that eating vegetable is healthy,so they prefer eating vegetables.As you can see,our country has a rich cuisine ,and each of them is worth tasting.

COPING WITH BROTHERS AND SISTERS

I have a brother and a sister,and i think that coping with a brother or a sister is always a hard work.Because when they make something bad ,your parent sees you as a responsible person in that event.Because you are older than them,and you know everything exactly,and you are responsible for their behaviors,or what they do.The other problem is that when coping with your brother or sister,you are a mature person,but when it comes to do something different you are still a child in the eyes of your parent.For example,my brother and my sister are always quarrelling with each other,and i don't even know the source of their quarrel,but all the same i am a responsible person for their quarrel.Although everything,having a sibling is a gratefull thing.Because ,if you have sibling it means that you have somebody to share your life.

PERSONALITY

People have different personality traits.This difference is because they live in different places,and have different environment.I think environment is important in personality traits because you learn everything from your environment.Our first environment is our

families.When we begin to grow up ,our environment starts to enlarge ,too.So we know a lot of people and a lot of information from them.These people and information form our personalities.In summary,our environment is important in our personalities because people and their knowledge influences us.

COMPUTERS

Computers have changed our life extremely.This change is sometimes good,sometimes bad.On the good side,you can find almost any qouestion easily and quickly by means of them.However,you must check the information because it cannot be true.Moreover,you can meet new people online,so you can get a lot of information about people,countries and cultures.In addition, you can keep your notes which you study,as filed on your computer.On the bad side;computer plays aren't good for children because some plays are about wars and weapons.Moreover ;when you work on computer too much your eyes start to become red.Furthermore;people who are always dealing with computers have some difficulties communicating with other people.In coclusion ,computers can be good or bad,but it has an important place in our lives,so be carefull when using them.

An unforgettable dream

I have an unforgettable dream.When i was a child ,i was afraid of gypsies,and beggars.This day i saw a gypsy and a beggar in our city.I was scared.When nigt came,and i went to my bed,i was only thinking them,and couldn't sleep.Sometimes later i slept,and i saw a dream of a gypsy.She came to me ,and kidnapped me.I was only crying when i woke up.Then i called my mother ,and she came to
me ,and relaxed me.It was very bad for me,and i
couldn't go out for days.

Some people believe that students should be given one long vacation each year. Others believe that students should have several short vacations throughout the year. For me ,several vacations throughout the year is suitable ,and good for students.Because we want to get rid of school sometimes owing to our exams,or our homeworks,but we can be more motivated if we have several vacations throughout the year.For example; this term is very good ,almost we don't understand how it pasted;however, i worry about the next term.Because there will be no vacations that term,so it will be bad.As for this term,it is nice,as we have vacations throughout this term...

Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. I think that it is not reasonable to feed an animal,or to have a close relationship with them.Because, even you clean up them many times a day,tou must accept that they are dirty creatures ,especially cats,dogs,and birds.I don't like them ,as they have feather.I cannot understand people who feed them,they have microbes in their features.To sum up,feeding an animal at home is dangerous for our health,so i don't support the idea of feeding them at home.

People have different ways of escaping the stress and difficulties of modern life. Some read; some exercise; others work in their gardens.Stress derives from being abnormally thinking habits.To escape this illness,there are some ways.For example ;doing exercise,playing games,living life actively are some ways of escaping from this illness.As you see the most important way is being active both physically,and mentally.

LIVE PERFORMANCE

Attending a live performance (for example, a play, concert, or sporting event is more enjoyable than watching the same play on television.Because,when you attend a live performance ,you also feel as if you live the setting.It is also impressive, and efective for us. For example, i watched the live performance of ''Cumhuriyet'' . It was very effective,then i watched it on television.When i watched it on tv.,i didn' feel somethinh special,so i recommend you to visit live performance.;)))))

ROOMMATE;))

Many students have to live with roommates while going to school or university.It has some pros and cons.For example;living with friends is good and enjoyable,on the other hand it teaches us many things as sharing life ,and being patient,and above all how to save money.But it has also some disadvantages;for example sometimes you can face some hard events and strange people.And sometimes you can come upon events which you don't expect.It is definetly hard.

Some people prefer to get up early in the morning and start the day's work. Others prefer to get up later in the day and work until late at night.I think this difference takes place because of people's having different characters.I think that getting up early,and starting work earlier is important.Because almost all of us complain about having little time,and to solve this problem we must consider getting up early.We shouldn't get up late to keep up with the day.On the other hand,each person has her own living style,so this differs person to person.

ATTENDENCE

Some universities think that attendence is a must,but others think that attendence should be optional.This subject lead to some arguments in education.I think that it should be optional,because a university student should know her/his responsibilty and there is no need to force them to attend class.And also if attending is useful for students or not is the thing that students can decide,so attendence shouldn't be must for us.

EFFECTIVE TEACHER

Teachers must know how to be effective to their students.For example,i had an English teacher who gave us fotocopies in each lesson throghout one year.We couldn’t understand the topic from her fotocopies ,and we explained that we didn’t like this type,but she ignored us.Then we dediced not to do her homeworks not to listen her lessons ,and to chat in her exams.we applied it.This event ococured in the first year of my high ,that is prep class.As you know in prep class we had English lessons most part of the week,and we went to school that year in vain.Because she ignored us ,and her aim was only to pass time.Me and one of my friends wanted to choose english department,and she didn’t pay attention to us.When we come to firsst year,we had another English teacher,and he paid attention to us ,taught us how to prepare for yds,how to study English,etc.We accomplished to learn it thanks to him.I think that a teacher must have some characteristics.For example,she/he must be businesslike,guider,friendly,serious,deliberate,knowledgeable,credible,adaptable,humoroussupportive,and open minded.these are vital parts of being an effective teacher.I hope we will become an effective teacher.

DO YOU THINK THAT OUR BRAIN SLEEP

The answer of this question is exactly NO.Because according to a research,sleeping is an action because of changing brain activity.In addition to this scientists say that they observed eye movement, muscle activity, and brain waves during sleep.Sleeping consists of two parts.The one is Slow Wave Sleep(SWS),and the other is Rapid Eye Movement(REM).SWS is a slow stage of sleeping ,and REM is a long stage of it.To sum u, our brain doesn’t sleep,when we are sleeping.

SHOPPING LIST

Shopping is a habit.I think making shopping list doesn’t work,instead it helps us to waste money.When making shopping list,we think all the productions ,and it makes us buy unnecessary productions.Then think the other option,supermarket.I think they make us waste money,too.When you enter a supermarket ,you buy many things you don’t need.Try to be careful,and avoid subjecting to these affects.

MY HOROSCOPE

My horoscope is leo,and my birthday is in August.My horoscope's charecter is that leo is outgoing,warm, likely, confident, creative,but sometimes leo can be dogmatic ,and afraid of rejection.Leo' s symbol is leon,element's is fire ,ruling planet's is sun.On the other hand, leos enjoy working with group,and they tend to be leader.They are the reflection of power in the nature.

DESCRIPTION OF FAMILY

When we hear the word of family, a smile comes to our face. Because it remembers us the enjoyable time in life. Family can mean a lot of thing for everybody, as we generally spend much of our time with our family. Being in a family environment is very important for us.We share many things in our family ,and we learn how to live with people in peace,so family means good and happy things for us.

The Meaning of Life

One day, a rich man took his son to the village to show him how poor people live.They stayed at a house whose owner is farmer and poor.The other day, they returned to city.When their returning.the father asked her son how he found that trip. The child said it was good.Then father again asked if he understood how poor people lived in the village.And then the child returned to his father and said that yes i saw how poor we are.Because we have a dog and they have four dog.We have a small pool in our garden,and they have long rivers.We have lamp in our garden,and they have stars in the sky.We have a small garden, and their garden streches to the horizon.When he was speaking,his father cannot say even a word.And finally the child said that i saw how poop we are!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in Istanbul

We always complain about living in Istanbul,even most of us don't like this city because of its traffic congestion,air pollution,and environmental pollution;however we cannoy dispense with it.Some people associate it with woman,when i first heard that i only laughed.But now i'm thinging that similarity,and they are completely right.What makes this city so wonderful,its sea,air,water,or its bosphorus???O n the other hand when thinking about it,you notice that there is no point in living in Istanbul.But there is something i cannot tell that they make you put up with it.Istanbul cannot be told,but it is lived.It's name is probably attractiveness,so it looks like woman.and you inevitably love it.Acquiring it means the closedown of an era....

THINK TWICE!!!

When speaking, or doing something one must be carefull.When we say something without thinking, it may lead us to make mistakes that cannot be amended.Than, reggetting is odd, because you make mistake deliberately.It is very important to think twice before doing something. In a society ,your behaivours are considered to be mirror of your character, so be careful about your behaviour.When taking this into consideration, don't forget, to what extend your behavior affects you!!! Try to be moderate in your life.

TURKEY'S POOR READERS

As all of us know,we are bad at reading or using our leisure time by reading, as you can conclude from there,we cannot develop or modernize without reading, and cannot be aware of what is happening around us.Many of researches about reading says that Turkey isn't good at reading.For example; from a research on that topic you can see it.It says that a Japanese reads 25 book ,and a Swiss reads 10 book, a French reads 7 book in a year.As for Turkey,the situation is something like a diseaster.The diseaster is that in Turkey SİX PEOPLE read ONLY A BOOK in a year.Let's take action to change this, and try to explain the people around us the importance of reading.

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS

Most of us see dreams when sleeping,but why we see some certain dreams or what leads us to see dreams is important.People can see dreams according to what they live, and what affect them mostly, what they think about, or wonder during the day.Sometimes ,people can see dreams according to what they make up during the day.In addition to these,people can dream what they desire,or admire something like these affect our dreams.Wish all of you see good dreams.

Is Technology Useful For Us?

Technology is developing day by day,and it is almost impossible to keep up with it.It has pros and cons;for instance,if you use it,life become easier and you can get any information quickly whenever you want.On the other hand,it has some disadvantages;for example,when you use it improperly,it can damage your health,brain,body,etc,so when using it,take care of yourself.
