GLOBAL CIRRICULUM

            Global cirriculum can take an important role in teaching. It emphasizes the same education that is the same for all children around the world. Not to pay attention culture, religion, language, there is an education which has knowledge as main part. I think it is useful way in teaching from any perspective you look.

            Students can share theis ideas, inventions, studies. Nobody pays attention where or who is. They can learn together. As all of us know, education starts with childhood in family. Child takes first informations from his/her parents. Of course, they are related to culture. Also some traditions about another culture must be told to child. Then, when he/she goes to another country, he/she mustn’t be all foreign to their culture. Furthermore, they won’t have communication difficulties, if they learn about different culture. According to some people it isn’t effective way for teaching, but I don’t think so. It is effective way for teaching.

            To sum up, the thing that I want to tell is, with the global cirriculum, there will be unity in education and world’s rapid of development will raise day by day and there will be more wise people.

What a big game ! - ender demirci

WHAT A BIG GAME !

            If you come across a game like this, what will your reaction be? They learn all about you and game begins. There is a man who is chosen as victim fort his game. Furthermore, he is chosen in his birthday by his Brother. His Brother gave him a fun game card and when he called, the big game started.

            the first reason is the game was established an amazigly effective story. Events followed each other so logically. So many special people was there fort his game. They played so well. Even if his old waitress in his house.

            Second reason is he had so much difficulties and there were so realistic, all of them was edited professionally. They seemed almost kill him but no. For example, before his cab sank, a window knob had been given to him and cab had a special design. When somebody entered Christine’s house and fired, they did not use bullet, they were fake.

            As a result, all the events he experianced was a game, because if it was real, they could easily kill him. I think the only thing that he must understand is the importance of life, because his father died in his ages and he chose the same way.

What a giant of the tourism! - ender demirci

WHAT A GIANT OF THE TOURISM!

            Can you imagine a city where has a huge tourism potential, but at the centre of the city you cannot find anything to do? While you are going to 15 kilometers away from city centre, you can find endless opportunities to enjoy, why didn’t you find at the centre? You don’t have facilities except for some cafes and live music bars. Can you guess where am I talking about? It is Muğla where has been known as a tourism city where has not a social life.

            Firstly, Muğla is an undeveloped city, because of lacking shopping centres, facilities, somewhere we can go etc. You get bored with your life there. Think, your only pastime activity is sitting in a cafe. What a boring situation!

            Secondly, I think people don’t give importance to the centre of Muğla. They investigate to countries and so centre of the city doesn’t develop. There is no job opportunities for people. Everything is limited. Municipality doesn’t work well. They do same things all the time. They don’t do anything to develop city. You can walk all around the cith in half an hour. Posibility of meeting same people is so high once, twice or more time.

            As a result, this condition must be realized and stopped in a short time. Investigators, people, municipality, government of the city have to do something to develop city.

Unusual Treatment-ender demirci

UNUSUAL TREATMENT

Do you believe if someone come to you and say you will recover while you are laughing? I think you said him “he was kidding”, but in my opinion laughing can be a solution for some health problems. Most people may know Norman Cousins.he laughed himself all the time. He was so ill and he would die soon. However, he didn’t accept this result and made some researches about that illness. As a result he found an important detail. His mood is so effective for his health. Then, he thought and found his own solution: laughing! I think that was the right choice. Laughing might be helpful for his health.

            Laughter is so beneficial for our body. For exanple, it regulates anger, depression anxiety, tension and stress. We know when we get sick or ill we need pshychological or medical support. In these conditions laughing may again be a solution for us. We need to happy, because we are already in a bad mood. Then, if we talk about medicine addicts, they think the only solution is medicines. I think it is completely wrong thought. Sometimes we need medicines, but not everytime. People must understand it. Then, people have to learn to look life in a laughter way.

            To sum up, Norman’s story must think us about laughter’s importance. To feel better, to ignore some badness always laugh!

Compare and contrast paragraph-ender demirci

  COMPARE AND CONTRAST PARAGRAPH ABOUT TWO FILMS

Angela’s Ashes and Miracle worker are the two perfect films which provide us life is full of difficulties. Firstly, the movie Angela’s Ashes generally mentioned about financial difficulties but The Miracle Worker was written on physical difficulties. These two subfect emphasized effectively in both films. Secondly, both of these two films realized in growing of the children. For example, deaf child Helen and poor family’s son Franki. If you live misery and lack of something, life will be more and more difficult for you. Although everything, even if nobody believes you overcome difficulties you must try hard. In my opinion Angela’s Ashes is more effective than The Miracle Worker, because it emphasize the difficulties of life more effectively and closely to real life. Shortly, the only thing we may infer from these films is “Never give up!”

AYŞEN ERASLAN(OPINION ESSAY)

                                        IS IT HELPFUL OR NOT?  

    Most cultures have traditional treatments that have been used for many years.These treatmens may not be scientific,but they seem to work.I believe that alternative treatment is helpful when it is supported by conventional treatments.
    The term nonconventional medicine or alternative medicine describe healing treatments that are not part of conventional medical training like yoga,massage therapy, acupuncture,laugh therapy or herbal medicine.Many of these alternative techiques come from all over the world and people use them to feel themselves much better...Especially,in recent years nonconventional medicine has become popular among people because medicine has lots of side-effects apart from its benefits.Today's people are looking for ways which are less harmful although there are lots of doctors who are successful on their field and support alternative medicine to some extent.
     People often turn to nonconventional treatments when they have a long-lasting problem that conventional medicine hasn't completely cured.For example,someone who has seen a doctor for years about cancer might try using alternative treatments in addition to medicine treatment.However,some people feel that it is not worthy spending money or time for these kind of things which have not been proven scientifically,but I don't think so,it will be beneficial as long as it is used with medical treatments.
    In short,nonconventional medicine is a way which has been used since ancient times.Its safety and effectiveness haven't been completely proven yet,but this doesn't mean you can't try them.At first,consult your doctor and then decide what to do!

                            SKIING BECAME A DISASTER

            Everything was wonderful. We planned to have an exciting weekend with our friends in Himalaya. However, we all weren`t aware of the miserable things waiting us the next day. If we had known what was comming next, we wouldn`t have had so great expectations.

            The day went on as it was planned. We prepared everything especially our ski-equipment. We met immediately with our friends at the  same cafe as usually. We talked about things we have done the year before and had fun. Helen looked at her watch and warned us to get ready.The bus would arrive in 15 minutes. The conversation was so deep that we hadn`t realized  the time passing.

            Everybody was laughing and acting like primary school children. Meanwhile, I was looking out of the window and began to dream… The bright, blue sky was smiling to me, which symbolized to me that our holiday would be amazing. The mountains covered with snow captivated me. Suddenly a piece of paper awoke me. Jack asked me loudly: ” Won`t you join us? ”I refused to answer him and threw the piece of paper back and joined them.

            After we arrived at the hotel, we left our bags and went out with our equipment. The guide warned us to be in groups at least of four and to use the minumum voice while talking. We decided to walk to peak. The weather was cold and gloomy. It made us feel stranger. Promptly, Elizabeth heard the wolf`s noises and screamed. We heard the echo of her scream several times. The ground began to shake and I felt like everything was going to collapse. Intentionally we crouched down, but unfortunately Jack lost his balance and trundled. While we were trying to catch Jack, a horrible noise was coming closer to us. It seemed like the sky was shouting to us. The sliding and approaching of the snow took only a few seconds.

            When I opened my eyes, I felt something heavy on me. It was real dark but I was able to realize the snow laying over my body. As soon as I understood that it was an avalanche, I tried to stand up and find my friends immediately. I heard the voice of Helen`s crying. I told her to be quite lest there could be another avalanche. After calming her down, I looked around and the all the snow around us was smooth as if nothing had happened. We found the glove of Jack while looking for the others. We ran towards it and started to dig around the place the glove was laying. Actually he was laying there. I saw his hand, which was almost frozen. We got him out of there with hard work. As the guide told us before, we rubbed his body with snow. Slowly he regained consciousness, but he trembled. Helen stayed with him and I looked for Elizabeth. But there was no help, I couldn`t find her. So I called the emergency  to help us. They arrived within half an hour. The emergency team asked us whether Elizabeth had a cell phone with her. Fortunaly she had it and the emergency team could find her with the help of the cell phone`s signal. At the time we found her, she was almost frozen and the emergency took us immediately back to the hotel.

            In the evening we realized what a big disaster we had. Luckily no one died. We were all happy to be alive. Maybe it was a lesson to us and we learned that a very little mistake could cause big troubles. I don`t think that we will be psychological able to ski in the next few years. Even today, I have nightmares about that incident and cannot forget it.

         POLLUTION CAUSES AND EFFECTS                                

AIR

Cause: Factories and cars let out fumes and chemicals in smoke polluting the air.

Effect: Pollutants in the air make it hard for people to breathe causing lung disease. When it                    rains the chemicals in the air cause acid rain hurting the animals and plants.

LAND

Cause: People throw litter on the ground. Many people don't recycle and throw away so much garbage that we have landfills growing in our cities.

Effect: Many animals eat the litter and become sick and can die.  Litter lying around covers the land from the sun and the grass and plants can die.

WATER

Cause: Many companies dump their toxic waste in many rivers and lakes.   Ships spill oil in oceans and rivers. People throw litter in water.

Effect: Toxic waste and oil spills cause many animals and plants to die.  Litter also is eaten by animals or they get caught in the litter like six pack plastics causing the animals death. 

COMING DISASTER

Pollution is a major problem all around the world. It has adversely affected the lives of millions of people and caused many deaths and health disorders. Pollution is created by a chemical or other agent that renders part of the environment unfit for intended or desired use. And the environment also refers to the place where you live. Natural processes have released toxic chemicals into the environment throughout the history of the earth. Currently, the pollution generated by human activities presents the most serious problem. Also my hometown, Izmir, gives much harm to environment, too. It has many causes and effects.

Air pollution is a mixture of solid particles and gases in the air. Car emissions, chemicals from factories, dust and pollen and mold spores may be suspended as particles. Ozone, a gas, is a major part of air pollution in cities. When ozone forms air pollution, it's also called smog. Some air pollutants are poisonous. While breathing them can increase the chance you'll have health problems. People with heart or lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from air pollution. Air pollution isn't just outside – the air inside buildings can also be polluted and affect your health.

            Harmful chemical pollution and excess nutrient runoff remain top concerns for environmental and land managers in coastal areas. In addition to nutrient pollution, land-based discharges from industrial, urban, and agricultural commerce also generate real concerns. Land-based discharges include chemical contaminants like trace metals, pesticides, and pharmaceutical agents, as well as biological contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and protozoans. These contaminants can degrade surface waters, sediments, and other components of coastal habitats, and can pose risks to human health and natural resources. Many animals eat the litter and become sick and can die.  Litter lying around covers the land from the sun and the grass and plants can die.

            We all need clean water. People need it to grow crops and to operate factories, and for drinking and recreation. Fish and wildlife depend on it to survive. Many different pollutants can harm our rivers, streams, lakes and oceans. The three most common are soil, nutrients and bacteria. Rain washes soil into streams and rivers. The soil can kill tiny animals and fish eggs. It can clog the gills of fish and block light so plants die. Nutrients, often from fertilizers, cause problems in lakes, ponds and reservoirs. Nitrogen and phosphorus make algae grow and can turn water green. Bacteria, often from sewage spills, can pollute fresh or salt water.
            In conclusion after all this effects and causes, it is high time that we need to take care of problems of pollution seriously, or it could have effects on our future generations. There are many things to do in Izmir to improve these effects.

          THE DIFFERENT REMEDIES

Some scientific studies show that medicine can not completely treat the patients. So, they should try to find out new methods. Therefore, they may use the collection of different cultures called  ‘alternative medicine’ to help the patients. It usually works.  In addition, some remedies called alternative medicine will usually help the patients recover their illness and maket hem feel beter. They should be good and effective treatment  ways.

There are many ways to feel ourselves better with some treatments. For example, studies show that acupuncture, hypnotize, relaxing activities may be used for feeling or getting better. They came from Far Easten Countries. Plus, they are becoming common. What’s more, some herbal mixtures could be drunk to reduce the pain and to improve our health. In generally, herbal mixtures are used in South America and in some South Africa countries. Furthermore, we should do some exercises to keep fit and health. Some of them could be team sports or some of them could be an individual sports. Some sports were national and then they became union. Therefore, all the world know and do them. For example,  yoga is Chinese sport, but then it became union and also today it is used for physical treatment.

Consequently there are many effective ways to improve our bodies and healt by the help of the alternative medicine. Because, sometimes only medicine treatments don’t work.  

                          THE SAME EDUCATION IN THE WORLD

            The global circulated education anywhere in the world should be done for the students. Therefore, I agree with the global circulated education. If not, as being, we can have difficulty in understanding each other and it won’t be equal for anyone.

            First of all, we can have education anywhere in the world if we want. It won’t be difficult for students to have the education anyway. We understand the lessons given and have no trouble to learn anything. Hence, we will have the lessons in USA and England. The global term will be the same. Everyone learns the same topics. In this way it is easier to have an education for exchange students. The difference education system can occur to separates. Thanks to the same education system everyone learns the same things. Not better than Africa not worse than Japan. Everyone can have rights to follow the new methods and the new techniques, researches in the schools.

 In addition, the good teachers’ lessons can be watched by the students by the help of the videos and DVD’s or lives broadcasting.  All the new discoveries can be informed to the people at the same time.  The classmate activities can be showed to the inexperienced young teachers. The professional teachers tell their own stories to the people by sharing help the people understand sharing which helps the people understand their cultures. Moreover, the new global language can be appeared for example English or Spanish. 

            In consequently, I agree with the same education in the world. Everything will be better in this way for students. Everyone will be equal in the education.  As it is seen, we might have a lot of advantages if we have global educational system. So, these advantages help us improve our lives better and easier.

CLASSIFICATION ESSAY (MERVE DÖNMEZ)

                                        SPEAKING AND WRITING

       Expressing ourselves differs from every person to person. We express ourselves how we feel well, so it changes from a person to person. some of us  like to speak while some like to write to express our feeling in an effective way, so there are two basic styles to express our thoughts, feelings in an effective way.

       First one is speaking which we use mostly to express ourselves because there is an eye contact with the person to whom we are talking. Eye contact is the most important thing while you are talking to someone because you want her to listen to you, so you can understand if she is listening to you or not by looking at her eyes. A person who concentrares on listening to you looks your eyes to make feel her listening. On the other hand, we express ourselves with our gestures while speaking to someone. We can use our gestures to make speaking more effective and to make people listen to us carefully, so speaking is an effective way of expressing ourselves.

      The other one and also the last one is writing to express ourselves effectively. By writing, people explain the things which they can not say by speaking. Writing is different and it has its own nature. Sometimes writing helps us feel ourselves more relax and more relieved. There are some people who can not express themselves by speaking, and so they choose writing to express, to explain themselves and their thoughts. They use more effective words and structure by writing, for example; they can use idioms, more adjective for only one word, and also they can use inverted sentences to make inversion instead of intonation which we use for speaking to make emphasize, so writing is also an effective way to express our thoughts and feelings.

      Both writing and speaking are related with eachother, so they can not be seperated from eachother. The only thing is that one of them can mostly be used by a person. This changes from to person to person. Both of them are effective way for people to express themselves.

         Obstacles are around of us in our life.We encounter with too many obstacles everyday or we encounter with people who have lots of obstacles which are very difficult to endure.In those two films we have watched there are people,main characters,who deal with undurable obstacles.Helen Keller is blind and deaf in The Miracle Worker while Frank is struggling with poverty in Angela's Ashes.Their obstacles are different from eachother's,but;they are ambitious in order to overcome their obstacles.When I compared those films,I found The Miracle Worker more impressive than Angela's Ashes.In Angela's Ashes,Frank deals with poverty,misery and tormented life,but;I think at that time there may be lots of families just like them even if this is a real that Frank is strong to overcome his problems compared with the others.However;I think, Helen Keller achives that thing which is impossible.She is blind and deaf,but;she overcome this obstacles with the help of her parents and especially with the help of her teacher.At first,she is wild and she learns alphabet of hand and at the end of film she is really calm and also she is able to speak a bit.This is really extraordinary situation because she is deaf.How can be a person who can't hear any voice,but speak?I think this achivement is more impressing one comparing with Frank's achivement.As a result in these two films, main characters overcome their obstacles in spite of difficulties.They both yearn for dealing with them thanks to their ambition,willing and patience

                           POSITIVE ATTITUDE

        Not only conventional medicine is enough but also emotional state is very important while struggling with serious illnesses.There are effects of positive things on us as we are effected easily from negative things.It is neccessary to try to keep ourselves.Positive attitude is really important while they are examined by doctors, professionals.It helps people in healing.

       Thinking different and positive things is one of the acting positive attitude.It provides to forget some illnesses and helps us concencrate on the other part of life.Even,we can see things which we could't see before.We realise that actually there are too much people who have lots of problems,more serious ailment than us and also sometimes we realise by thinking in positive attitude that some people are not lucky like us.Knowing this trigger our self confidence and our brains and so we decide to overcome our illnesses.

        The other one is making something which will be albe to make us happy,excited,laughing person,and also having full of fun because happiness excitement and laughing have much more positive effect on us than the others.Being happy has an fundamental impact on body's basic health and healing mechanisms.On the other hand laughing reduses stress hormones.It is also a very efective coping mechanism when we are suffering from deadly diseases such as cancer...etc.For example Norman Cousin chooses laughing for his healing in adition to conventional medicine.He watches comedy films make himself funny because he thinks that Laugh Therapy which is his own idea will be useful for his ailment,and in the end he lives 25 years after learning his ailment.Positive attidude in healing shouldn't be neglected on accont of its help.

       Consequently,we,people,needs to spiritual things which will make us powerful against those serious illnesses in adition to conventional medicine.They are both necessary to heal us.Firstly we must have resistence to overcome and at that time doctor can be able to do something to make us healed.

      LEAVING HOMETOWN DUE TO THE UNEMPLOYMENT

Is there any solution than going to another city? People in my hometown started to be in search of good quality of life standarts, needs started to be inadeque for them with the developing technology and with the increasing of needs. Unemployment is the biggest problem . there three basic causes of unemployment.

Firstly, my hometown is a rural area. Formerly people used to make money from agriculture and livestock. Almost every family had their own animals which are small scatt and big scatt . Additionally, they had their own field to farm. Farming was very common at those times ;but, agriculture and livestock lost its effectiveness dy by day winth whe developing technology in big cities. People got become making less money from it. İncome from agriculture and livestock decreased and so people started to go another city to live in a better condition by finding good works than staying in their hometowns.

The other main cause is factories. There are three factories near my hometown; but, they aren’t as they were in the past. They fired lots of worker from my hometown and from the other villages when they were first opened. However, they got become not doing work, they got become not buying goods to export with the economical chrisis and because of these reasons they laid off the workers. People stayed in a bad stiuation. Some of them went another city while some of them were staying in their hometown.

Finally, the last important cause is that some tradesmen closed their work places because of economical factor and because of not doing money from their works. Many young people were out of work because closed work places. They were the main possibility of work , so being closed of them effected people,too much. It leaded people to leave their hometown like the other causes.

Consequently, people had to leave their hometown. Some of them experienced difficult days because of being in a different city; but, some of them are very pleased with their conditions. However, government can support the villager much more, businessmen can realize investments for residents who live in small areas. Something can be done to develop these areas’ conditions.
