TRAVELLING OR STAYING AT HOMETOWN

Travelling that is going from a city or a country to another. It is one of the most enjoyable hobbies.Some people don’t want to go anywhere , however; it is benefit for several reasons.The first reason is ,travelling brings new cultures, new people and new places. You will learn lots of different things via travelling.You will meet new people, see different places and learn different cultures.Further, you will have a chance to compare your own culture with others.The second reason is that stressing. If you always stay at your hometown or in the same place, you will be bored and stressed and also angry but if you travel you will be relax and free also.Opponents of these ideas claim that travelling is tiring and stressıng but travelling is not like this because you will be funny and happy with new things and if you stay at home, you will be bored and you will be tired from sitting on the same place.You will be much more stressed. Their other opinion is that if you always travel, you cannot accustomed to living in a certain place, however;we don’ t have to live a certain place we can live different place with different people, so we will look at the world with different perspectives and we will learn to live with different cultures. If we always live in a certain place, we cannot know other people’ opinions and perspectives , that hinders our socialization.Consequently, we are disagree with this opinions.

TO KILL SOMEONE INTENTIONALLY

Euthanasia is that to kill someone in a coma intentionally. Some people think that it is a right to kill a person in a coma, however; it is wrong completely for several reasons. The first reason is that people find money for treatments somehow and it is wrong to say that if you haven’t got money you will die some people think that the prices of treatment are high and euthanasıa should be done.However; we cannot buy people’s health with money.The second reason is that thefamilly sufferings ıf the person in a coma dies, it will give much more bitter to her or his family. If he lives even in the coma, his family knows that he is alive and they will touch him at least, hear his breath also, this is much better than death.The third reason that we cannot know he will be good or not, this is God’s business. In some situations even doctors can be wrong , they cannot know the patient’s situation and we cannot kill him only for this reason. The opponents of these ideas claim that euthanasia should be done for a person in coma because the prices of treatments are very high and his family suffers from this situation , the death will be better and another, his situation won’t be good , he will be much worse. However ; we can find money for treatments and also there are lots of instituties for these things , they will help.The suffering of families , if he dies, familly will suffer much more because they cannot see him anymore, this is more bitter and also we cannot know his situation and for this reason, we cannot kill him. Because of these ideas we cannot agree with euthanasia, it is completely wrong for human beings.

DOWNLOADING FROM THE INTERNET

Thesis statement:downloading films,MP3s from the Internet must be legal.

Reason for 1) original CDs and casettes very expensive.

For example: Tarkan's latest album is very expensive but you can download this album from the Internet costless.

Reason for2)Saving CDs and casettes is too difficult but films MP3s downloaded from the Internet are saved easily in flash memory.

for example: We cannot move all CDs we have, but we can move a flash memory in which there are some films downloaded from the Internet.

Reasons against:some people think that downloading must be illegal because it hinders selling of
CDs and casettes and also hinder popularity of singers.they think also saving CDs and casettes is
better for nostalgia.

Refutation of opponent's argument: We cannot buy all CDs we like because they are very expensive, generally students buy these things but if they are expensive, they cannot buy them never this also hinder the sellings. ıf downloadings is legal, we can listen to singers much more and it doesn't hinder singer's popularity. If we try to save CDs. we can lose them and also nostalgia will be lost but ıf we download from the Internet we cna save them in a flash memory and we cannot lose them so, we can be caught up in yesterday(nostalgia).

ALWAYS TRAVELLING OR STAYING YOUR HOME

Supportive sentences:1)travelling always is tiring for people.

THERE IS A PROBLEM

I discussed a topic with my friends two days ago. The problem is ' if you have a problem with your boyfriend, what will you do? Should you talk with your close friend or your mother?If you talk with your mother, she can be angry and she will shout at you may be she won't let you go out , she can't understand you or she is very sensitive and will start to cry for you and you will have a bigger problem. On the other hand, if you talk with your close friend, she will understand you because she can have an experience in the past and she can give some logical advice to you. If your boy friend is friend of your close friend, your close friend can talk about this problem with your boy friend. Consequently, if you want to have a bigger problem you can talk with your mother but this way is much more dangerous than talking with your close friend but if you talk with your friend she will understand you she will support you. This is your choice.

TWO DİFFERENT PLACES FOR VIEWING

I have visited two places in Second Life.I have seen lots of things different. Both are different from each other.Firstly, I have gone to Oise Bristol Edunation III and it is a place to be relax, there are lots of trees, two or three houses. This place is near the sea sea looks like something which is infinitive and there is a cliff. I saw some boats for travelling in the sea and the houses of place are decorated for rest, these houses are doublex. On the other hand, I have visited Novatech, it is completely different. It was a techno centre, it has dark colours, there are no trees and no natural things, it is completely mechanıc.You can see robotic things.There was a aquarium in the middle of the place and an animal in it like a monster, it was different. There are some computers and systems. Consequently, the places I have visited are completely unique. Bristol is completely for rest and holiday, it is natural it can be preferred for people wanting to be relax but the other place is mechanic, it is the best place for people keeping on technology and mechanics.

OUR UNIQUE HOUSE

I have got a lesson called Advanced Reading and Writing and we built a house in Secondlife in this lesson this week. Firstly, we made a group with five people and we shared our duities, we determined our place and then we started to build. One of my friends started to build a ground for house.After the ground was built, we decided to build walls. We built four walls for this house but accidently one of the walls was destroyed. After these things, we costructed a roof suiting our house. Before we determined the colour of the house, we had built a door for entering the house. Lastly, we painted our house's walls, ground and roof with green, red, blue and pink colours.After all these preparations, we put some seats in house for sitting and having a rest and then we took a photo of our house. It was very good for living there.

THE WEATHER OF ANKARA

I have been living in Ankara for a while and I have liked this city but there is something I don' t like the weather of Ankara. Ankara has a very different climate. Ever since I came to Ankara, I haven't known what I should wear. Sometimes in mornings the weather is cold but in the afternoon of that day the weather gets warmer and warmer. On the other hand, we can see sunny mornings but don't believe this weather because in the afternoon it can be rainy. So, I don't know what I can. For example, one morning The sun was shining, according to this weather, I decided to wear thin clothes like t-shirts. I came to school then towars to the afternoon, it started to rain heavily like cats and dogs. So I got wet very badly and the next day I became ill. I felt myself terrible. I had a bad flu and cold. finally, I'm good now but I know the weather of Ankara any more and I don't believe if it is sunny in morning it will go on like this.

PEOPLE IN METU ARE VERY DIFFERENT

Metu, my school, is different from other schools. Like Metu, students in Metu are different from each other. We can classify the students of Metu in three groups. Firstly, one group is hardworking students' group, the other group is social and hardwoking students' group and the last group is only social students' group. The first group students usually study their lessons, they don't want to do anything different from studying. Their only goal is studying and graduating from school with a high degree. They don't want to lose their time with social activities. The second group students who are social and hardworking like studying but not only studying, they also like participating in social activities.Sometimes, they spend their time with their friends, they can take part in sport activities like football, tennis, badminton etc.Furthermore, they like studying they study their lessons hardly especially, in mid-term and final exam weeks.They are good at both sides; studying and social things. And the last group in this group students spend their time only on social things. They are very social students but they can't be hardworking students. Because they don't study their lessons and they don't want to attain lessons. In this situation they can't be hardworking.Consequently,students in Metu are different. I think being in second group is better because I can be a social and hardworking student

OPINIONS ABOUT SECONLIFE

I have been using Secondlife for two weeks and I have asked some people 'Why do you use Secondlife?' they said different things. If I classify them, I obtain three groups.One of them, the first group, the people in this group say ' We use Secondlife for communicating with different people, creating different things,meeting people and inviting them.' The second group people said they wanted to improve their English by practising in secondlife, to see different ideas, different people, different places and the last group in fact, there isn't a group there is only a man and his explanations about Secondlife are very different, he uses Secondlife, because everybody is in there, every people from all over the world can attain Secondlife. Consequently, lots of people use Secondlife for different purposes, especially for communicating with different people, to learn different cultures for practising, etc. We can understand from here, Secondlife is useful for everything.
