THE EXPECTED GUEST...


When a couple has their first baby, everything changes in their lives.For example, in the past parents need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning, but now the baby makes them wake up=)Instead of spending their evenings watching TV or going out, they now spend their free time in admiring their baby.And their life is also more carefully planned.While they used to go out to see their friends whenever they wanted to, that is no longer possible.If they want to go out without the baby, they must arrange for a babysitter.Unlike the neat and tidy rooms which they had once, the house is full of baby things.Even when they talk to their friends, the difference in the topic of conversation is noticable:It's always about the baby=)

DEPRESSION AND ELDERLY PEOPLE


Today, many elderly people in industrialized countries suffer from depression.There are several reasons for this.In the past, most older people lived with or other members of the family, and they usually had some responsibilities around the home.For example, older women could help take care of the children or prepare meals.Older men could help thier sons at work or around the house.These days married children often prefer to live on their own, sometimes far away from their parents.Thus, older people maybe cut off from family ties.They may also feel cut off from the world around them.The many rapid changes that have taken place in technology, entertainment, and travel have led some older people to feel that they do not belong to this world any more.

DEVRİM ARABALARI-REVOLUTION CARS...



After having a tiring week with exams and assignments, I suggested my friends to go to the cinema.At first I didn't know which film to go.While wondering in the dormitory, I saw the poster of a film whose name is ''Devrim Arabaları''.At that moment I thought that I should see that film.Its casting seemed so good.There were a lot of well-known players.I wondered what was its main theme.Then, Özge, Nurten and I went to see that film yesterday.We waited for its starting impatiently.When the film started, I began to understand the real things.Turkey was in a difficult time. Cemal Gürsel wanted to make our cars by ourselves, that is to say, Turkey must produce its own cars, made them in Turkey.Some people working for the government didn't want that.But some engineers thought that they could achieve this and make a good start.They had four to months to make 'one car'.Its name was going to be 'Devrim'.But later, they were wanted to finish two cars in four months time.And..they could manage this despite all negative things-very little funds and people not wanting that project.Few minutes after Cemal Gürsel got on the car, the benzine run out off.And it was said that Devrim stayed on the road..There were some perfect expressions in the film: 'No success is out of punishment.' and ' As a matter of fact, there would be no allowance for a car whose name is Devrim to wander in the streets.'I think you should see this film...

NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SHOPPING MALLS


While shopping malls have an effect on people's lives, not all of their effects have been positive.Most of the shops and services found in malls are parts of large corporations.These businesses take away customers from smaller shops in near towns, forcing many of them to close.That has led to fewer individually owned businesses and less local control over jobs.In addition, malls are harmful to the environment.They are often built on land that is important to the survival of birds and wild animals.Wherever they are built, they cover large areas with buildings and parking places-instead of trees or grass.Thus they contribute to the loss of nature.And finally, malls are usually built far away from the city or town center.This means that people must go to those malls by their own cars, resulting in increased air pollution and heavy traffic on nearby roads.

TRAVELLİNG TO A COUNTRY


I want to visit most of countries in the world.I don't know why, but when it is asked which country I want to visit, England comes to my mind.ıt is the most populous and ethnically most diverse nation in the UK.The buildings there spectacular, I think.There are some important castles and forts in England, including Warwick Castle, the Tower of London and Windsor Castle which is the largest inhabited castle in the world and the oldest in continuous occupation.ıts climate is temperate, but the weather is usually rainy.So it has the scene of green.Dishes forming part of the old tradition of English food include fish and chips, apple pie,mash, steak and kidney pie and so on.These are facts about England.It is important to go to a foreign country to improve our english.This country doesn't need to be England, of course.But I want to start from somewhere.

CHARACTERSISTICS OF A FRIEND


Being friends with someone may sound simple to some people, but it is not as it is seemed. If you make friends only for spending time together, you can be friends with everyone. The first thing I pay attention in a relationship is honesty. I can say that it is the foundation of friendship. Of course, this is not the only thing I look for in a relationship. Humor is a good element for a healthy friendship. If your friend is a serious person, it is inevitable that you will get bored very quickly. You can share something with your friend, so it is also important to have some common ideas about life.My friend's being a punctual person is also important to me.If he or she is late again and again, I can get bored with this situation, too.
