Outline

Thesis Statement : Eating at home is a better option than eating outside
Reason 1 : Eating at home is much more cheaper than eating outside
Example 1 :For example the money which we pay for the materials for cooking never be enough if we want to eat in a restaurant.
Reason 2 :It is more reliable. Because we can't rely on the people who sell food we buy.
Example 2 :For instance the material the seller use is mostly worse than ours.
Reason 3 :While eating at home we can create a more warm atmosphere. We can have a chat with family members confortablely.
Reasons againts (opponent's argumet):Opponents of this is claim think that eating outside is much better. Because if we don't have time it is a good option. Also people sometimes want to eat outside for entertainment. They want to be in a different places. This appeals to them. Or maybe people who work really hard can feel tired and they can't stand working at home, too so they prefer eating outside.
Refutation of opponents argument :They have a point in thinking like that. However they only think the part of working. It is expensive and not comfortable. They don't pay attention to these points.

ÖDEMİŞ

Odemis where I was born in is a town in İzmir. It is quite developed when compared to other towns but it is far away from the city center of İzmir. It is known as a swashbucklers’ land thanks to its bravery throught history. Because while our country was under occupancy, national forces was appeared by organising in here. So it is important in our history. Also it is geveloping a modern life, it is a typical Anatolian town. There are many hitsorical places which is imprtant in the past. Its climate is perfect. You can see four seasons there. There are also some places which is important for tourism like Bozdağ. Because it has abundant lowlands, its econoomy is based on agriculture. It has such a green land that it looks like a paradise to me. It has a lot of paks which show its beauty. It is mostly known for its Turkish folk dances, folk songs, traditional clothes, etc. The most well known food is ‘Odemis kebab’ . Shortly it is so beautiful for me. Even thoug it is not such a big place I think it is more beautiful than Ankara. Maybe I think like this because it is my hometown and it appeals to me so much. Now I have to be here because of my education but in the future I want tol live there. At least in İzmir J

Your Mother or Your Best Friend

If you have a boyfried, you can have some problems sometimes. At these times you want to share your problems with someone but whom? Last week we diccussed this problem in the lesson with our friends.We argued about two options: if we should consult to our mum or to our best friends. Firstly, we commemted on mothers. Allthough they have experience, they can sometimes be sensible. They can be angry in some situations because they don’t want to see us unhappy. However sometimes they can’t develop emphaty because they can’t understand us exactly. We aren’t at the same age and this affects their behaviour , too.But if we talk with our friends they can be more helpful allthough they are younger. Because they are at the same age like us most of time and they live the same things. So they can understand our feelings more easily. However there is an important view. Our friends should be reliable and real friends. Otherwise they can hurt us much more anybody. Despie everything we dediced to consult our best friends, though. If we can find our real friends, they will be helpfull to us in every situation in life.

Compare and Contrast Paragraph

Today I went to two different places in Second Life. These are Spacestation Sci-fi Mall and Edunation. Actually they dind't have so many similarities. However the buildings in both places were luxurious. Also, both of them were really colourful and attracted such a lot of attention that I wanted to be there in real life, too. However their differences were much more. Firsty, while the first one was in outdoor place the second one was indoor. Because the first one was built on an island and the second was a sicience fiction mall. Because the first place is in outdoor there were a lot of trees and every where looked really restful. And besides because it was an island the sea which surrounded it made a major contribution to its beauty. But Spacestation Sci-Fi Mall didn't have anything which is belonged to environment. Morover it had so many shops about sicience materials while there were a lot of houses in the Edunation. IN addition in science fiction mall had a big aquarium at the center of it. Alşo there is a big tortoise in it. That is to say while the first looked more natural thanks to its trees and sea, science fiction mall was artificial. However I liked both of the places. Because They were both appealing from different aspects.

Sacrifice Holiday

Last week we were on holiday thanks to our traditional Muslim Festival Of Sacrifices. Most of students who are away from their house like me went to their hometowns. Although I stayed at my house a week it seems to me so short. In these days I fullfilled my longing. I went to my high school and had a chat with my teachers. It was really beautiful. Because I missed them a lot. And their welcoming me warmly made me really happy. The other day was eve and I met with my friends. We wandered together and had a really good time. The other days were just like the past years, though. We visited our relatives. And of course everybody served the meat of sacrifices an a lot of pastries and dessert. Even though I was bored most of time, I was with my family and it worths everything. I hope the days will pass quickly and I willbe at home again.

I was attending Odemis Anatolian Teacher's Training High School before Metu. It was a really small school. Because our school didn't have a building so we were using a building of a primary school. Of course we didn't have a dormitory. However it wasn't a problem for me. Because Ödemiş is my hometown and I was able to go to school from my house. Actually my school was't likea public school. It was resembling a tutoring much more. Because in the first year of my school my class was consisted of thirty person.However, after I had chosen the foreign language department the number of students in my class decreased to three. Yes, I know it is really amazing. We were only three girls and everybody was joking about our situation.Even because our school was small there wasn't classroom available for us.So our physical education teacher's room was given to us. However I was satisfied with my class. Actually it wasn't like a real class. We learned lessons as if we were having a chat with our teachers. They liked us very much because we were like their children. Of course we loved them as if they are our parents, too. Also we were drawing attantion so much. Our friends and even our teachers laughed at us when they saw us at corridors together. They were making jokes by saying the whole class was strolling together. However there werensome problems too. Because we weren't like a class. During free lessons we were so guiet. Even some of our teachers were trying to make us talk while in other classes they did the opposite. To be honest this stuation made me nervous most of time. Although there were some problems I was really happy in my small class. It was much more like our home and we were all really confortable there.Now I miss my school and my friends so much. I hope one day I have a class like us.

PRIDE

We live in a small village in Ödemiş, İzmir. Almost all families in here earn their keep from farming and stockbreeding.These are really hard works and require labor force. So children have to help their families in fields. Because of this, these children don't pay any attention to their lessons. However this is becacuse the families can't understand the importance of school and they don't encourage their children. My primary school was not really good and most of frieds don't continue their education life. Under these circumstance I went to a good high school. My family were really proud of me and they always supported me . So I tried to do my best and got a high degree at there. After that I won the universtiy and now I am in METU. There was nobody who could go such a good univestiy like me in my village. So everybody talked about me and this appeals to me. Because my family gets happy when they heard my achievements. So I feel good when I think that I can do my best in order not to disappoint them.
