SITES CLOSED

Today, a lots of people can create sites easily and they can put what they want on the site. Sometimes they are benficial for us and everybody while some of them consists of inessential and harmful things. It is difficult to control all sites; so they are closed by government. I think that it is normal and true. Today,the most of children can use computer as you play with their toys and dolls and they can reach harmful sites and they learn bad things from them. Families don't always control their children. When children can't reach them at home, they go to internet cafes and they can do there. So, radical solution is to ban and close them.

TO COOK AT HOME

If somebody asked to me ''Do you prefer to cook at home or to eat out?'', I would say without hesitation ''I prefer to cook at home.'' because it is cheaper than to eat out. When we eat out , the price which we have to pay consists of ingredients' price and cooker's salary. Besides, sometimes we may have to tip waiter or waitress and they add profit to price. Hence, we have to pay more money than food's normal price. However, when we cook at home and eat our food, the food is costed little money for us and we spend less money.
Some restaurants have suitable prices and we don't have to tip. But in such restaurants, we don't know wheither the ingredients which are used in foods are healthy or not. Maybe , they may not be fresh.
In our country, fortunately, to tip waiter or waitress is not a tradition while in some country it is a tradition. Imagine that people around you look at you as if you were rude when you don't give tip.I think that it is very nonsense. When you cook at home, you give tip yourself.
Only when we are very tired and bored, we should eat out. If you save money, you should eat out very rarely besides never.

DOWNLOADING ILLEGALLY

To download films, MP3 without paying any money and to buy books less money shouldn't be viewed as stealing, in my opinion because they are very expensive and their values is under their real price. A lots of people can't afford them. Every people deserves to enjoy them, in fact, to buy books, to listen musics and to watch films. Before artists, singers and authors view piracy as stealing, they should think firstly that the prices of their works cheapen. All of them always say to pirates ''labor thiefs''.But they are wrong because they don't need money and they get money enough to maintain their life anyway. Moreover, they have luxurious lifes.
In our country , they are illegal to download films or MP3 via internet and to buy books pirately. However, they aren't followed sufficiantly to hinder them by authorities because our country has more important problems than them.

ARGUMANTATİVE PARAGRAPH-2

THESİS STATEMENT: To download MP3, films without paying any money or to buy books less money shouldn't be viewed as stealing.

OPPOSİNG SENTENCE 1: To download MP3, films and to buy books less money aren't legal in our country so illegal situations are crime.
REFUTATİON: Although they are illegal, they aren't followed regularly to hinder them by authorities.

LITERATURE COURSES

I think that literature shouldn't be must course, it should be elective course because literature can't be taught to students by force. Literature is taught willingly. Otherwise it becomes a torture for students. If a student doesn't like reading poems or books, literature is a ordinary course for him or her.He or she only wants to get a high grade and keep high his or her grade. However, if a student loves literature, it becomes a enjoyable course for him or her.He or she doesn't view it as memorizing certain things. He or she takes it willingly goes to the lesson fondly. Besides, when literature is must course, teachers feel that they have to make students memorize some things. Otherwise in the lesson, theachers do more enjoyable things. For example; they reads poems and discuss together on the it or they discuss on the common books which they read. The only worries of students don't become to get high grade in the exam. They learns great works and their authors, poets in that way; not by force.
We took literature as must course in high school and we had to memorize the names of authors, poets and their works. Yet, I can remember none of them today. I am certain that the most of us can't remember.Literature can be taught by reading, not memorizing.Therefore, literature's being must course doesn't help students learn their authors, poets and works which belong to their culture; on the contrary it causes that students hate literature.

EUTHANASİA AS MURDER

I think that euthanasia is just a murder. Not to let somebody who is able to breathe live is a murder, not something else. Whatever reason there is, every person has right to live and we can't take this right from his or her hands. That medical costs are very high don't become a reason because everybody does his or her best for her or his loved one. Even though he or she doesn't have money necessary to discover his or her patient, he or she try to find that money. Somebody's life can't be compared with money definitely. Only thing we should do is to do our best. Absolutely, there is a solution. However, to kill is not a solution.
As we can see the example in the text, maybe they are able to survive for a while. The girl mentioned in the text died but she was able to breathe on her own for nine years.I think that every disease on the earth has a solution and they can be cured.I think that there is no incurable disease on the world. Only problem is that science hasn't found a solution for it yet. However, science is improving more and more and I am sure that incurable diseases will become curable ones one day thanks to science. The most of disaeses which couldn't be treated in the past can be treated today. The desaeses which can't be cured today will be cured in the future. I believe that by all my hear.If the girl's family had waited for more a little time, maybe the girl might have lived today.
We haven't been given the right to take somebody's life by God. God gives life to people and only God takes their lifes.We can't that and we shouldn't do anyway.

LESSONS İN TRADİTİONAL WAY OR ONLİNE LESSONS

If we ask students and teachers about lessons in traditional way or online lessons, they choose the latter as far as I can guess. They think that online lessons are more profitable and practicable. Actually, I agree with them in terms of this situation. Students and teachers can reach more information thanks to computer, in fact, internet.They can spend less time and gain time in their lessons, maybe because of this, they can learn more things.Students can surrender their homeworks to their teachers via internet. Students can see on the monitors of their computers topics which their teachers teach them.We know that learning by seeing is helpful for students. This is a proven truth scientifically.However, there is no writing in online lessons.Everything is written while we learn something in lessons.However, in my opinion, we can learn something by writing more easily.I think that writing is more effective than seeing in terms of learning.If we write what we are learning, we can revise them and we can understand the topic more quickly.In tradational way, lessons are told face to face.We can see our teachers' faces and they can see our faces.We can see our teachers' frowning, smiling, gestures.
Actually, there are schools where there is no desk, chair and schools which is heated with stoves.So it is nonsense for me to discuss this subject while the conditions of these shcools can't be done better.

TO COMPARE AND TO CONTRAST TWO PLACES

We have gone to two places in second life.Actually,I think that they are very different from one another.They have very few similarities between them. I think that first place is a shopping place.There are a lots of shops there.It is a covered place. There are a lots of pictures on walls in first place. As far as I could wander in it, I saw three small boxes.Two of them are police boxes, but I didn't understand what the other box is.In first place, there is a big aquarium and there is a big creature, several fishs inside it.It has three floors, so there are stairs in first place.
Second place is a open place unlike the first place, So it is a spacious one while the first place is a depressing one.Second place is near the sea, so it has seascape. There are several pictures like the other place. There are a lots of trees there. There are five flags which belong to different countries.There are armchairs and chairs to be sit down.There are several shops like the other place. Also in second place, there is a small box, too.However, I didn't understand what it is. There is a swing in second life.So, second place may be a park according to me.Consequently, the most important similarity between them is that they are the places where people go in their spare time.
