20 Aralık 2008 Cumartesi



I want to ask a question and answer it:
As all of you know, there are so many shopping centers in the cities around the world and families go there to have fun, to do shopping etc. with their children at weekends and not so often on weekdays because parents work. They go these places at weekends, so far you think it is so normal. But just think about people who work in these shopping centers. They work at weekends and they have no chance to be with their families or friends at weekends when their families, friends have time to spend with each other. I think they also want to be with those who close to them like the other peoples who are free at weekends want.Do you think these centers should be open at weekends when you think once more from the perspectives of shop assistants?
I think that people working on weekdays go to shopping centers with their friends,children,families etc. is very normal because they work hard on weekdays and they can not share time with their families and friends and they may not spare time to do what they wish to do with them.They don’t work only at weekends and in my opinion,to go there and do something is their right.They are also individuals and they need to take a rest and to share their time with people they want.However,there are people working not only on weekdays but also at weekends.I think this procedure is wrong because to work effectively,every person need to take rest and do what they want.They have also children,family,other works such as cleaning home,cooking, caring with their children and their necessities etc. but nobody take into consider them.Some companies,bosses etc. think that working more is more money.I tell them ” if you want to earn money,let you work harder rather than forcing their employees to work harder and making them exhausting” because people who can not take rest and don’t spare time for their special life are not already as efficient as the bosses want but they don’t understand them.In my opinion, these shopping centers should be open at weekends bu they should employ different part of people.I mean that a group of people should be worked on weekdays and one other group of people should be worked at weekends.In this way, each group has chance to do something.

TICKET ADVENTURE


I want to tell you my ticket adventure.I bought three tickets to come back to Ankara days ago.I thought that 14th day of the month was Saturday and I told a friend of mine that I wanted him to buy three tickets for that day and they did.I took the tickets from him when I went to my home for Bayram.When I took it, I looked at them but I did not realize that they were for Sunday because I put 14th day in my mind as Saturday.On Saturday, a friend of mine,Elif, came to us to see off me, we had dinner , then I passed to my own room and at the same time , Elif was in kitchen and my father,mother,sister and grandmother were in livingroom.When I was in my room, I received a message from my friend who bought our tickets and I was shocked because he said that we would go the following day.I run to the kitchen and asked to Elif if that day was 14th.When I received her answer , I got worry and I screamed in home " it can't be!". Those in livingroom went out and asked to me what happened. I explained the situation. They, especially my mother, became very happy.However, I could not become happy because I was also responsible for Semih and Özgül' s tickets and I did not know how they would react to this news.Everything and everybody were ready for our coming.Immediately , I called Semih and explained the situation shying.He said that it was not problem for him ; moreover, his mother became very happy so I got relax a bit little. Then, I called Özgül and told her that we would go the following day.She became happy so much that she could not believe and asked whether I told truth or joked again and again. I said that I said truth but she could not believe and called me again after our phone call finished.At last, I could become happy. However, from this time, everybody have made fun of me and have asked to me " what is date today" .I think they are right because I have had problems with dates,as well, everything since that day. I have been distrusting everything these days.However, I have been trying to pick myself up. I hope I will success :)

LIVING ABROAD


Living abroad is something that people , especially the younger ones , often dream about . Is it really worth all the sacrifice ? Like everything , living abroad has both its advantages and disadvantages.The main advantage is that you can learn the language and the culture or customs of the country you live in. Moreover , you can widen your horizons by studying there and making career . A further advantage is that you can make new foreign friends. Of course , you should be aware of the fact that you may meet both well-breds and villains . But usually people , when meeting foreigner , tend to be nice and treat you well .On the other hand , there are certain drawbacks to life abroad . First of all living there may be really expensive . Therefore not everyone can afford it . Secondly , you will certainly miss your family , your old friends , or perhaps your girlfriend. Furthermore , you will have to know , at least , the basics of the language of the country you go to or be very self-willed to learn.In conclusion , I think that living abroad may be very good for everyone . It can broaden ones knowledge of the world , customs and people .

"IF YOU LIVE BY SCARING..." by Şebnem Ferah


This is one of Şebnem Ferah's songs.I like it very much because it tells me lots of things.For instance, it says that " if you live scaring,you only watch the life" I think it is right .In my opinion, unless we are active in life, there is no means of our living.However, if we live enjoying ourselves and other people and we know how to make the life live, we can get something from the life and we can understand what the meaning of life is.In her other words ,she says that if you know flying , you should know also falling and if you want to be loved, you should first know loving.She is definitely right because ,of course, everybody wants to be loved and be respected but if a person don't love herself/himself or other people, I think she/he has no right to be loved.On the other hand, you don't live with pleasure everytime, everything does not go on in a way you want everytime so you should know that you will face some obstacles in life and you should be ready for every situation.In case of its contrary,when you face an obstacle firstly, if you decide to give up, it means that you are scared of life and you don't want to struggle but it is necessary to go on life.She also wants to mean that you will learn the life by living.

FRANCE


If someone asks me if I agree that everybody wants to go new places,my answer:I agree that everybody want to visit another countries,new places so everybody has a lot of dreams about this.I am also one of them;I want to visit lots of places because I think that the more I go to new places,the more new cultures,new people,new languages,new traditions,new food,new rules etc. I will learn.However,if I have to notify only one place, I want to go to France because their language is very kind and so I wonder whether they are so kind in daily life or not.I want to learn their culture,meals,traditions and I want to know French people.Additionally, I know French a bit little so I want to improve my knowledge about French,I believe that if I stay there for some time, I can learn it definitely.Apart from these, I also wonder their fashion;in public or on the media,we always hear their fashion and that almost all the world follow this fashion so I want to see them and whether they follow,too or not.If they do,I want to learn this fashion and I want to search if this fashion is suitable for everybody or not.And finally,I want to see its famous cities such as Paris,museums,towers etc. I hope I have such a chance and I will go there.

THE DOGS




According to the general impression,dogs are faitful animals,they save us from dangers such as thiefs,they give us trust.Some people like them so much that I wonder what kind of kove they have and how they can love an animal so much.I want to give an example about this.For instance, my uncle feeds a dog in our apartment.One of our flats in the apartment is empty and it belongs to the dog.My uncle and his two sons like it very much and give a great deal of importance to it.When my uncle come home first,he asks if the dog's meal is ready or not before asking his own meal's ready.He buys special food and bones for it.The dog which they are feeding at the moment is their second dog.When first one was killed , they got very sad.Because of this,they did eat nothing all day and they did not talk with anybody so in the same day,in the evening,my uncle went to a petshop and bought this one.Day by day,they got used to this one and liked it very much.They talk with it and teach it some things.When I watch them,I not only have a fun but also get surprised because I can not understand how a person can like an animal so much.For instance,I can not go out when the dog is in front of our door.If I come across it randomly,I scream,everybody hear me and come to help me.My cousins laugh at me very much because of my situation.Maybe it is very normal but I can not like the dogs so much;I don't hate but I don't like at the same time.I can not find a sympathic part of the dogs.I like them only as long as they are away from me.
