There is one common question.When I was child , everbody was asking me "Do you love your mother or father?"Of course ,I was not able to answer this question,but we always ask this to other children.Parents really take care of their children.That's why I can't choose one of them.They have different places in my heart.Also,we get our personality from them.Some people choose their mom as a role model,and some of them choose their father.My parents are both role model for me.We have some similarities each other.Sometimes I get angry easily ,and I can't keep my feeling in my heart just like my mom.I want to help people who are poor like my father.Also,my father likes all animals.I and my father were playing with our dog,and I was really enjoying that time.He tought me to love animals.I know how it is important to help other people , and love animals.My other personality is that I always forgive other people that I argued with them before ,and I forget everthing, but if they contunie to break my heart that time I never forgive them.Also,my relatives said that my face similar to my father.I'm happy to similar with him because I really love him....I love my family, and I miss them..

Last summer, we went to Sumela Monastery.It was definitely

fascinating.It has been built at an altitude of approximately 1200 metres between 375-395 years.It's really unbelievable because I can't understand that how they built this monestry without any equipment.They built this building despite altitude.Also,I saw that pictures was painted on the wall.Pictures describes condition of that time.They drew their obstacles on the wall.In additon, it shows us they were interested in painting.This place is really enormous.Also,to arrive there is really hard because you need to climb peak of the mountain.Monastery was surrounded by tree.To be surrounded by tree gives monastery fascinating view.Everything is natural.If you go this place you will hear traditional music while you are walking to peak of the mountain.It makes you feel more fantastic.I hope that the guy who plays this instrument will contunie to play all the time because it really change the atmosphere.I want you guys to visit this place in Turkey,if you are interested in seeing wonderful places...

Last summer,my cousin got engaged.We were really excited.We started to prepare a long time ago before this day to get ready on time.

Everthing was okey.Everybody bought their clothes.They who got engaged rented a place to celebrate their engagemant.Day by day ,we were getting ready.2 days ago before engagement ,I gave my shoes to shoe store because my shoes 's stone fold down ,and that's why I want to put back that stone on my shoes.Day of engagement.I woke up and went to store to get back my shoes.When I arrive there,I was shocked because I was closed.When I was looking around ,I suddenly saw paper that letter was written by owner of that store.It said that one of the his relatives died and that's why he closed the store.In addition ,he will come back after two days.It's obvious that celebration was going to be over.I was so sad,and I was going to cry.:)because I did not want to go to place without my shoes or with different shoes.I called the owner many times ,and I requested him to open store.He was really nice,and he came to store to give my shoes back.After that I was so happy.Then I wore my clothes.I wanted to give style to my hair.I went to beauty salon,and they tried to do something :) but it was worst.I just washed and gave style myself .It was better.Finally.I went to place that we celebrate there.It was fascinating despite of all obstacles for me :):)

I went to Atlantic City to play game on saturday.It was fascinating.All lights were glamorous.On the other hand,to go this place takes a long time,and that's why I got really tired.There were 7 people in the car.One of them was little girl who spoke whole trip:):)When I go to somewhere ,I just want to sleep until we arrive to place,but this time I couldnt sleep because of little girl.I listened to her over the trip.When I was on the way ,I was hopefull that I will win money over there.Finally,I hopefully sat in front of one of the lucky machine.I won 30$.Then I continued to play,of course I lost all my money :):) Even though I dont have money right now,It was really nice.:):) A man who was sitting next to me in casino won 800$.I got some clues from him:):) I will use that clues next time to win money :):)As we all know ,we should't be crazy about game.We should be carefull about it.

To be in front of whole class makes me fell nervous :):) Today was one of the these days. Before my presentation ,I was little scared because you guys did not know anything about Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, and that's why It was little bit more hard to explain for me.I could have messed it up with too many details which is really hard to know or understand for you guys.So I just tried to give main idea as much as I can even though I had written a lot of information before.It was a goog opportunity for me to present Ataturk to you guys.He was really successful person ,and I want you guys to know some informations about him :) Thanks:):)

Hi Barbara !!Your friend was so nice today.She looks so friendly.Obviously ,you have a really nice friendship with her.You had lived in Turkey with her..I think you had some problems in Turkey :) about transportation.We still have this kind of problem.In the US. there are some differences like this that I really like.I think when people go to different country to live there for a long time ,they have some difficulties because they dont use to live there.Also,native people have some advantages just like American people have in here.In Turkey there is no big difference as much as in NY. between foreign and native people.I think all people have equal right in Turkey.For example ,you can work for big company,you can have your own business,you can get phone :),you can get credit card without social number :) I mean you can do everything if you have money :):)

I want to talk about the movie that we watched in class.It was really nice even though it made me feel sad.All people who played in this movie were professional.I like to watch movie that has some lesson in the movie.Also, I really like their relation between father and his daughter.They were like bestfriend.They had an enyojable time together.They really liked to spend time together.He was wonderful father even though he was disabled.He was interested in his daughter more than abled bodies people.Also I like to people who trust other people and dont think anything bad.He was one of the those kind people.That's why this movie impressed me.And I just suggest other people to watch this movie...

You guys know that what happened after class to me!!!!My aunt had called me to come home early before I left school because my cousin wanted to pick me up when she went to airport to welcome our relatives.After I cut the phone ,I was thinking that my mom is coming and they wanted to make me surprize.I got excited becuase I was going to see my mom.As soon as I came house ,I looked at my aunt's face to understand what was going on.Unfortunately , I understood that my mom wasn't on the plane :( but when I was on road to go to airport ,I had still some hope in my heart to see my mom over there.Finally.we arrived and started to wait them.I saw all my relatives who came from Turkey but my mom wasnt over there.It was like really bad for me :( It made me feel sad,too :( I hope,I will go Turkey in summer time again just like last summer but that time I will not stay there asa much as last year because it was too long :)

I need some help to decide about my major which is going to be my choise in college.I was think that I will be an interior designer,but nowadays I'm thinking about different alternative major.I don't want to make any hasty decision.I know that I need to be careful when I choose my major because I don't want to waste time.In additon, I think about to be a dentist.It's kind of design.:)If I will be a dentist ,I will design your tooth :) I really like to change something from bad appearance to beautiful look.I couldn't decide between those majors.I need to search more on the Internet and take more information about it.If you guys have any idea about it,please let me know.:):)

I went to my relative's house yesterday.My aunt meets with her friends and some of relatives ones a mount.It;s like kind of meeting day :) They write all people names who want to join this meeting on the paper,and choose one of them to know whose house they will go this mount.And they collect money for this person who will accept them as a guest but they are getting equal money each other.They don't earn money like this because they just get back their money what ever they gave before their turn.I went to my relative's house to join them with my aunt for just one time.I had an enjoyable time with them.We danced and ate some Turkish food.There were some humorous people over there.We lought a lot :):).This kind of things are popular in my country because women get bored in home and they want to spend time with their friend.That is the one of the way that meet with their firend.Otherwise they couldnt spend time together in this busy life...

I have 2 sisters.My sisters names are Tugce and Ece.They are older than me.When we were child,we always fought each other.:):) it was childish, but when we grew up,we started to understand ourselves.Now we are really close.They are my best friend.I really love them.At the other hand , we have really different personalities even though we are sisters.Some people think that parents affect children's personalities.I think parent's affect children's character but not too much.I think we are creating our personalities ourselves.That's why everbody has different character even they are sisters.

Today is Valentine's day.At the begining of the day was fine because we learned that my aunt will be a grandmother.Her son will have a baby:) We are so excited for that.We had a nice time while we were having breakfast.After that I prepared to go to work.I prefered red color as a clothes:)) I went to work.I saw lots of couples.Everybody was happy today.Some of the girls had balloons for today.It was little funny :) Some of the girls had some flowers:)I just watched them wholw day when I was working,that's why my day was bad :):) I think you guys had a nice day today..HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAYY !!!

I like snow because we have chance to spend time with our family.In regular days , everybody has some works that they have to do.Nobody stays at home.When weather is bad just like yesterday,everbody has to stay at home.I think we can change this disadvantage to advantage.We can have an enjoyable time with our lovely family.We can talk and share some of personal things each other because most of the time we have a busy lives in here,and that's why we don't have opportunity to talk enough.Yestarday,our television did not work because of bad weather,but we spent really nice time together.I really like it.I think sometimes we should be away from other work ,and we need to spend time with our family.

I want to talk about movie today.Last week we watched a movie with my cousin.Name of the movie is "Hope".Actually this movie is Turkish.We call that movie as "Umut".It was really dramatic.At the begining of the movie,we started to cry until at the end of the movie.At the same time we were loughing because we just cried for movie.We know that it's not real but it really made us feel sad.It was about a little boy and his father.One day,a little boy fold down,and his father was worried about him.Then they went to doctor to learn what is going on about him.Eventually, they learned that he is really sick.He has chance to get rid off from this illness,but they dont have that much money to give av doctor for surgery.In the hospital,the another guy saw their situation,and he offered his father that if you sell one of your organ ,you can earn money to rescue your son.At the end of the movie the father sold his heart to earn money for his son.He died ,but his son continue to live his life.I cound't explain well ,but I advise that you guys should watch that movie if there is a version with English subtitle.

When I came the US. , I confronted with many problems.I had a lot of experiences.First of all ,to live so far from your family is really hard.As everybody knows that the most comfortable place is your own house.Also,we are in different mood in here because we always think our family,and we are worried about them.Even we feel happy,at the same time we feel sad because we want our family next to us when we feel happy. We want to share our emotion with them.Now I have some responsibilities that I have to deal with them.It makes me feel strong because I'm doing my all responsibilities myself.In addition ,I feel my family's support behind me.I believe that I'm really lucky because I have the best family for me.I saw many people that they don't feel like me for their family.

English is the most important language of the world.English is being used as a native language by more than 10 countires.English is currrently more widespead universal language than chinese which is the most crowed country of the world.Although china has 885 million chinese speakers ,english covers whole around world with its 400 millioin speakers.
Today, there are about 1 billion english spaekers in the world,and the number is growing day by day.As a useful language english helps other languages' vocabulary worth.In this point the most basic example is ''e-mail''.Like e-mail there are a lot of english word in other languages.

Almost 1 month ago,I went to pennsylvania for snowboarding with my cousin.We left our houses at 5:30 am to react over there earlier than other people because we knew that it is going to be really crowed at weekend.By the way ,we arrived the place at 9:oo am in the morning.We rented our equipment, and we started to enjoy with the snow.It was wonderful weekend for me even though I fold down on the floor several times.We had an enjoyable time with my lovely cousin.She still cotinues to go pennsylvania every weekeend, but I couldn't go there after one time.I did not have free time.Also, it gives a lot of pain if you don't snowboarding offen :):)

I would like to talk about technology.Since technology has started developing it affected a lot of people 's communications.I remember that when I was child,my family was watching tv. in livingroom.We were talking to each other while we watched tv.After little time,my parents bought second tv for my room.Then,my sister got her own laptop.Everybody had different life in the house,but it was disturbing my mom.She thought that we needed to communicate each other.After that she did not allow us to use computer and sit in different room in free time.I realized that we solved this problem and we started to spend more time togetrher.

Yestarday, I was with my friend.When I was looking around for shopping ,she was working.I went back to her work place ,but I saw that she was crying.I was worry about her.Then I ask her "What's going on here ?" She told me that somebody stole her bag when she interested with the costumer.All security came to her place.They tried to help her , but they haven't found thief yet.She was very relaxed who stole the bag because I watched her from camera when she stole my friend's bag.It happaned to us.I want to say that for my all classmates be carefull about your personal thing everytime.

I would like to talk about complications in my life.One of the biggest difficulties is living in different country.We have different culture,and that's why i saw many times that i had problems because of these differences.I have been in the U.S. for 2 years. I have already gotten used to live in here.I start to understand people around me.Also, I could figure out their culture,and I tried to find some similaryties between 2 cultures.By the way,I liked to learn new cultureBeforre I was thinking that I can't stay here ,and i need to go back to Turkey.Now I have many friends from different countries,and I fit in with my friends.I'm so lucky because I had chance to meet with them...

We have already passed second day together in our new class..Yesterday I was so sad because my best friend who is from Korea wasn't in my new class.I wanted to be in same class, but it wasn't possible.We were good partner at last semester as Barbara said.I know we will be nice group each other.We will get close day by day..I hope that this semester will be good for everybody.Also, I hope that we will able to pass college.
