THE PERSON OF THE YEAR

If I were a jury member of the committee, I could  want to introduce Frazil SAY. He is a marvelous musician. Firstly, I want to mention his life and then I want to explain the reason why I have chosen him. He was born in Ankara in 1970. His father is a musician as well and his mother is chemist. He has a daughter. He started music in his childhood  and firstly he played  melodica. Then he played the piano. Day by day he developed himself. He has twenty reward. He arranges a hundred twenty or a hundred forty concert every year. In addition to be a pianist, he is also a composer and he  has composed a lot of songs. In my opinion he must be the person of the year because he is a unique person in Turkey according to his talent. I believe that he will develop himself more and more and one day everyone will  think like me.

DROUGHT

I have chosen this video bcause drought is a very important and serious issue and everyone should pay attention to this. Day by day this problem is  increasing. Sources of the water  shrink and our world is getting warm.However, we can decrease the risk and possibility of the drought. For instance, we can use our water more carefully : we can close the tap while we brush our teeth or wash our hands and face. Another example is that we can use deodorants or parfumes less or the parfumes that we use should have a less harmful chemicals.These are a very simple example but these are very benefical for decreasing the risk of drought and global warming. When we watch this video, we will learn the causes of the drought and then I am sure that we will be more careful.

MY LIFE

Hi, my name is Hatice. I like extreme sports such as paragliding, skydiving, gliding, ballooning, bungee jumping etching want to explain some of this sport shortly. Paragliding is that someone should jump a hill with a parachute when the wind which is suitable for paragliding comes and then dances with wind. Skydiving is that people jump from the plane which has four thousand heights. The plane that has not engine and has long wings is used for Gliding. If people want to do this sport, they should jump from this plane. I advise you to these extreme sports strongly. I think life needs adrenaline and people also need adrenalin and excitement. In my opinion if there were not any extreme sports, life would be very boring. In addition to do extreme sports I also want to travel all around the world by bike. I know this is very difficult. This requires money and time but I also know that “nothing is impossible.”As far as I believe, if one really wants to do something, he or she succeeds it. I hope that one day  all of my dreams will be true.

parallelism

1:  Our beagle loves to hunt.  When someone opens the back door for her, he barrels down porch steps into the yard.  She runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy.  Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cats, rabbits, and she sniffs other presences too subtle for human detection.  She spins her tail in quick circles firstly clockwise, then  counterclockwise.  Sniffing and spinning always occur together and they seem to propel her along.

2-Few people know about The Government Printing Office, source of much useful information, in Washington D.C. It is the official publishing house for the federal government. The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subjects which range from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms.  About 27,000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents.  Many of them are inexpensive. Even there is no charge at all for some of them.

3-John Jacob Astor who reaped America's first fortune was a German immigrant, lowborn and uneducated man. He made his initial money trading Indian furs. Although he never learned to speak English properly, he carried on his business to the end in an accent which was redolent of the Hamburg gutters.
