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.

Building a House...



People usually build their houses with the materials that are easily available to them.In some areas, most of the houses are made from wood.We can see this in the north parts of Turkey and in some other countries, such as North America and Scandinavia.These areas have large forests.When it is like that, wood is easy to get.And it is also inexpensive.In some other areas where there are few forests most people build their houses with stones and bricks.These two materials are a bit cheaper.In tropical regions, houses are sometimes made from plants which are grown there.For instance; in some parts of Africa and Asia, houses may be made from bamboo.And we can see houses which are made from ice in the very cold areas, such as Arctic.

Television's Affect On Family Life


In the 1950s, people thought television had a positive effect on family life.While watching television, all family members were together in one room.Since everyone was quiet and watched TV, it also put an end to the common family arguments.These days ,however, psychologists think that watching television may not be so good for family relationships.They believe that it may be better for the family to have arguments sometimes, instead of being quiet all the time in front of the TV set.When TV is on, there is usually little or no communication among the family members.Most of the communication happens in one way:from TV program to an individual.

People's Interests In Bees


People have always been interested in bees.This interest may have begun with the honey that bees make.In fact, researchers have found evidence that people have been eating honey for many thousand of years.In the more recent past, people were curious about how bees made honey.They admired the way bees worked so hard.Some languages even developed expressions about people working like bees.In English, for example, we talk about a busy bee.Now scientists have a new reason to be interested in bees.They have discovered that bees are able to communicate with each other.Research has revealed some surprising facts about this, but there are still many mysteries.
