FIRST DRAFT

HUMAN LIFE PERIOD IS GETTING LONGER



Everyone has the same life process. Everyone is born and everyone dies. However, experiments show that nowadays human life period is increasing day to day. According to research a child born in 2003 can expect to live 77.6 years up from 77.3 years before and 75.4 years in 1990. That’s why these days if you look around, you can easily see too many old people and they still look healthy. There are three reasons why these people are living longer than before. These three reasons include better nutrition, new technologies and using improves protection ways from wild life.
First of all, better nutrition is directly related to human life period. Since people need some proteins and vitamins to continue their life in a healthy condition. That’s why it is very important find food healthy and easy. Nowadays, people who work in an agricultural area can produce food with using new technique. These techniques cause two advantages. First one is producing many different kinds of food in a short time and second one is low price. Therefore, everyone find food very easy if they just try to go shopping center and, they can but it cheap price. However, in the past people did not know how to produce food easily and how to supply food from another place.
Second reason and the most important one is new medical technologies. In the past, some unknown virus caused disease and a lot of people died for this reason. Nowadays, people who got educated about medicine can make research and find the reason of these viruses. Medicine companies have laboratories and too many scientists work on new medical treatment and they produce different kind of medicine against to different kind of diseases. For example, if you have influenza, you can just go and buy some drug about flu. This was the basic example for treatment of sickness. Furthermore, even if you are cancer, you can go to hospital and you can get operation about your cancer type. Nowadays, medicine can find any type of illness that’s why it helps the increasing life period. On the other hand, one or two hundred years ago, scientist could not find the treatment way of fatal illness. Therefore, if some contagious fatal illness occurred, they could not prevent these diseases and so many people died because of this reason. For instance, in 14th century thousands of people died because of plaque epidemic and they did not know the treatment of these contagious sickness.
The last one is using improve protection ways from wild life. Nowadays, people can use every natural resource for supply benefit to their life. For example, we use oil, gas and coal for heating and protecting from cold. Furthermore, we produce cold proof clothes to be warm. A lot of clothes companies work for us and we just go and buy some new clothes. It is really easy for us these days. Also, not only we can protect our body against from cold or hot but also we can protect to other natural disasters such as earthquake, storm, flood, or tornado. Since we can build durable home and we can supply everything inside to it. However, in the past our ancestor did not find these possibilities easy and they could not fight nature effectively.
In conclusion, according to these reasons, human life period is getting longer. Maybe in the future scientist will be find the secret of deathless because nowadays human can achieve to use nature for their nutrition and they can protect themselves from the natural effect of the Earth.

Thanksgiving day is coming but in my country we do not have this kind of special day for remembering the people or something to thank. Also in my oppinion, we should remember and say thanks everyday instead of one day. First of all, I want to thank to my family because, they always support me not only good situations, but also bad situations whenever I meet. I am 24 for years old, I am civil engineer and now I continue my education in U.S.A . If they did not support me on every conditions, I would not as succesful as now I am.Also, more important than other reasons, my family made really important effect on my behaviour. Now, wherever I go, people respect to me thats why I owe to my family and I know that I can not pay this forever. Secondly, I want to thank my high school teacher because, I was a naughty boy and I did not want to go university. One day he talked with me and he said that your math skill is good but you should try to study. If you try to study, you can enter to university so easy than other students and after that I changed my life oppinion and now I am here.

Speacial Conditions for Lies




People sometimes meet very diffucult sitiuations. If they try to explain or try to make someting for fixing up this situation, maybe it will get worse than before. At this point, they feel the speacial weapon in their mind. This weapon is lie and sometimes it can solve problems that looked very hard before. Lies look worked in a short period but after that it usually causes more problems than before. Thats why, if you are not in really emergency situation, you should not use this weapon. These circumstances are helping other people, solving basic problems, making suprise for your friends. Firstly, you can tell lie if you want to help your friends or close circumfrences. For example, your close friend and his girl friend are in argument and you want to finish this arguement. You can find a white lie in this point and you can provide them to meet again. This lie does not effect the other people except from your friends, so it will be fair. Secondly, you can tell lie if you want to solve some basic problem or basic situation that you do not really want to do. For instance, it is very common problem among teenages, one girl or boy want to meet with you but you do not want to do this but also, you do not break his or her hearth. In this point, you can say I have a girl friend, or I like another person. This will be again white lie because it will not effect other people except from these. Thirdly, you can easily tell this type of lie because you want to prepare a suprise to someone or you want to say something important but you want to say later. For example, you want to make a suprise party for your girl friend and she always ask something about this ofcourse you shoul find a lie because party must be suprise. In conclusion, telling lie is very bad habit but If you use this for helping people, solving basic problem abd some special activities which has no bad effect on people, it will give good result.

Does it matter what strangers think of you? Do you care if everyone likes you or are you content just being yourself? Write a paragraph explaining your answer.



People need to live together and communicate each other. In this relationship, they have some opinion about other people when they meet and do something with them. Actually, I care some people if they are really important in mylife. I always give worth of their opinion about me. Also, If they want to give advice to me, I always listen to this advice. I have a humanist character, so I like all kind of people. I do not separate people for their skin, origin ect. I do not like to be alone. That's why you can always see me with some people.

DARK FOREST




Last summer, a group of teenagers wanted to go to Van Lake for vacation. They were very wild. Their names were Martin, Kenny, Deniz and Jale. On Saturday morning, they left their city. Firstly, they had to pass through the forest to get to the lake. However, they did not know the way around the forest. For this reason, they stopped their car before entering the forest and they searched for someone to ask how to get to the lake. Finally, they found a house, and they walked toward the house. They knocked on the door, but nobody answered. When they turned back to the car, they were surprised to see an old man in front of them. He had long hair and a long beard, but he looked very kind. They asked him how they can pass through the forest. He explained the way. They understood and they wanted to try this. They thought that they would find the way very easily. However, they lost their way a few hours later. At this time, they wanted to separate into two groups. Martin and Deniz went to left side and the others went to right side because they saw two paths and they had to try the two ways to find the correct way. One hour after separating, Martin and Deniz met a strange man who was a ranger. They wanted to ask something about the way but he did not want to answer them. He was a young strong man and he looked very nervous. He just told them to get out of there immediately. They were really scared because he looked very scary and he had an axe in his left hand. After they left him, they continued on their way for a few minutes and suddenly they saw two death people. They recognized them easily because they were their friends. For that moment, they heard a sound from their back side. When they turned, they saw the ranger in front of them. They tried to escape from there but they could not because after few minutes running, they met the old man. They tried to explain the story but he looked very strange and he carried riffle. He pulled his gun to teenagers, and this time everyone heard a metallic sound like an axe voice. Suddenly, the old man dropt to ground. They turned their head to back, and they saw the ranger. He helped them and saved their life. When they tried to say thank you to him, they did not see him. He disappeared suddenly. They did not understand until they arrived to the lake because they arrived to the lake they went to police station. After they entered through the door, they saw a picture. This was ranger’s picture. They were surprised because under the picture it was written a date. This date showed to 100 years ago. He died 100 hundreds years ago but that day he saved their life.
