OUTLINE OF ARGUMENTATIVE PARAGRAPH

Thesis Statement: Downloading MP3s , films and different software programs from the Internet without paying any money must be illegal because it is money and effort theft.
Reason for 1: Musics, films and different software programs are formed to earn money by art earth That's why we mustn't download them.
for example: If we download music, film...etc, the owners of these works can not earn money and he or she can not live by well.
Reason for 2: Artworkers spend many efforts and money on these works and they are dedicated to these works themselves and their lives.
For example: They can not get response to their efforts although they work hard to form these works if we neglect their efforts.
Reason for 3: If downloading somethings is legal, it means every person starts downloading them and the singers , film makers...etc are not important for us.
Reason against: Some people think downloading somethings from the Internet must be legal because they are too expensive to buy for them. But to bring out these works takes much money for makers .As a result we mustn't steal their money and effort.
Reputation of opponents argument: Downloading music,film or different works is against copyright and is to prevent the owners of them from earn money and hence is unrespect for their livelihood right.

MUST EUTHANASIA BE LEGAL?

My blood is freezing when I hear the term of euthanasia. Euthanasia is such a frightening thing that it is forbidden in most countries except for few ones. Because it looks like murder and most people consider euthanasia as a offence. But the number of people who are against this idea is too many to neglect. They think medical costs are very high, the relatives suffer from the patient's caring, there is no chance of recovery...etc. And that's why 'Euthanasia is necessary and it must be legal! ' say they. I know we should consider these situations but these are not as important as right to live. If we think rationally, we will realise that euthanasia must be illegal. The patient was given to a life by the Creator and it will be gotten only by the Creator. We can not cause this death and we mustn't. Nobody has the right to die, because the death is not right . On the contrary the life we suppose belongs us is actually not ours , it is a deposit given to protect.If we can not protect our life, it means that we have deceive giver, the Creator. In addition to this, as relatives who will allow to euthanasia of the patient, we are charge of this betray. Secondly, t is thought that expenditures are high. Everybody knows this is true but this doesn't change the truth that life is more important than everything. There are a lot of charitie enstitues and charitable people that will be able to this people. They can help these patients instead of allowing to die. Only solution is not euthanasia and mustn't be. Thirdly, they say the relatives suffer from the patient is in coma. But when he or she dies , they will have pain.While he or she is in coma, at least he or she can feel and hear. But if he or she dies, we can never see. Finally, it is suggested that the euthanasia is necessary because the patient has no chance to recovery. I don't understand how they know this. We can not know when a person will die and whether he or she has chance to recovery. May be he or she won't want to die. In an essay which I read, there was an example about this isssue. That is so; a patient who exposes euthanasia survived for about 9 weeks. Hence if euthanasia hadn't be practiced on him, he could have survive throughout more years. As a result, euthanasia must be illegal and we have lots of valid reasons for this ban .

COOKING AT HOME OR EATING OUT

Thesis statement : Cooking at home is better than eating out a lot of points of view.
Reason for 1 : Cooking at home is more economic.
For example: We can cook the meal with less materials.
Reason for 2: Because we cook it by ourselves , it is more healthy.
Reason for 3: It is more realiable since we know what it includes .
Reason for 4: It is more comfortable because we cook it at home.
Reason for 5: We usually meet our families at meal.
For example: We can discuss family problems and solve them at meal , can share good news with family members.
Reason for 6: Cooking at home teachs Turkish culture.
Reason for 7: Cooking at home is more sincere .
For example : We are together familiar people.
Reason against : Some people may defence eating out and they say eating food is more fast compared with cooking at home and cooking at home is wasteful.
Refutation of opponents argument : Cooking at home is healty and it is more important than everything . Fast-foods have no sustenance as all doctors say. In addition,we cannot know how the food out is cooked and what it includes. Therefore we cannot rely on them , moreover we mustn't rely on.

FACE TO FACE OR ONLINE EDUCATION

I discussed this subject with my group friends at last lesson. And all of us have the same idea about that. That is, although both of them have a lot of advantages in terms of not only the students but also the teachers , face to face education is better than online education for the students. We have some reasons to think so. Firstly face to face education depends on eye contact, communication and correlative relation. So it is more sincere than the other. For example I can't understand the subject without eye contact with my teacher. But in online education we don't see our teacher and neither do he/she. As a result of this, the teacher do know neither the students nor if the students understand the subject. Hence the students fail the lesson ans so do the teachers. Secondly in face to face education, the teachers can show his/her features the students and the students have more respect the teachers but in online education the teachers can't so the students regard the computer instead of actual teacher as the teacher. while the students are preparing an assignment , they are careless. As a result there is failure again. However advantages of the online education can not be neglected no matter how its disadvantages are more than advantages for me. Online education supplies profit from time. But still face to face is better.

MY EAGLE FLYING AT HIGH

Beşiktaş is going on being on peak as always. It was thought that Beşiktaş withdrew the championship competition because of a few matchs resulting in unfavourably of Beşiktaş a few weeks ago. But Beşiktaş which hasn't seen defeat for 8 matchs has proven that it wouldn't leave behind of rivals without begining at peak competition. At the moment Beşiktaş is 3nd with average gap . However it is sharing championship with Kayserispor and Fenerbahçe according to the points. But this gradation will change in favour of Beşiktaş next weeks. Because Beşiktaş didn't let down me and it won not only Fortis Turkey cup but also Super Ligue Cup . Beşiktaş has already won Fortis Turkey Cup for last a few years .I hope this tradition won't be spoiled . Beşiktaş's success results from largely the footballers' skills but the role of the technic director also can't be denied. In this season the success of Bursaspor , Ertuğrul Sağlam's team , is the best example of this. Anyway , what is important at the moment is Beşiktaş's being a candidate for championship. The eagles fly at high and Black Eagle is continuing to fly at high.

RISE ,MY BLACK EAGLE , YOU WILL SETTLE ON PEAK PERMANENTLY (I HOPE).

I have visited two different places in secondlife. I couldn't understand the first place which I have visited .I don't know what there is exactly. There are a lot of technologic tools and lots of films which everybody can watch by themselves. There is a pool in which there are an animal like a turtle and other animals I don't know. This place is very boring for me.But I liked the second place a lot. Because there has a green scenery and on the coast . There are a number of trees, a wooden house so that visitor can rest, a cafeteria with comfort furniture and colorful flowers which makes relieve people. In addition there are a lot of colorful chairs - I want to sit on them a lot-. But the other place doesn't have such a glarious scenery. This place is natural but the other place is artificial. Consequently these place are very different and have different effects on visitor.

SOLVING LIFE'S PUZZLE

Solving puzzle is one of my great enjoyments.While I am solving puzzle, I avoid having contact with everything, Because I don't want to interested in anything except for it. If I quit it even for a short time, I can't enjoy it. In my opinion, solving puzzle is a life-style.Because ther are some major necessities to solve puzzle . These are being interested in words, being investigative, being curious... etc. It is impossible to solve it for someone who hasn't these characteristics and isn't enthusiastic about puzzle. Puzzle is like a labyrinth which carries the person to different places progressively and transports the exit in the end. Of course it is irritating to become jammed in labyrinth . But it is so normal at first. Hence all that is important are determination and curiosity of the person. Unless you lose your determination and curiosity, certainly you will reach the exit. No matter how it seems enjoyable to find the exit, I don't like finish at all .Because the thing which is important for me is excitement of finding the exit. It is not boring to solve puzzle for hours for me . Already being a puzzle-lover requires that. Most people are surprised by my hobby .Well I accept that I have a weird hobby but I become angry with some people's reactions. They are always saying to me '' This is not necessary for you . Be engaged in more useful things. ''They are also right .How can somebody which doesn't solve puzzle know benefits of puzzle?
Solving puzzle is just life oneself. If you are hung on it when an obstacle appears in front of you, you can't see your front and can't reach your goal. All that ou should is to neglect that obstacle and to go forward on flat place. I have experienced this a lot of times both on puzzle and in life . There is an puzzle called ''sudoku'' -you might heart it- . I didn't know how to solve this puzzle but I endevaured tıo solve it by thinking I would love that as well as I love the others. I wasn't able to achieve at first but owing to my determination,I became good at sudoku. Even I tried to prepare a sudoku on my own .I failed it but it isn't matter.I succeded in solving it and I believe that I will tackle with preparing as well.
''RELY ON YOURSELF , YOU ALSO WİLL ACHIEVE ! ''

HAPPY DAY TURNING INTO GLOOM

That day we were very happy because my oldest brother had been appointed as a teacher. Being glad for this situation was normal but my brother graduated one year later .That's why our happiness was so great, especially for my aunt who loved my brother as if he had been her son. That day my brother would set out the city which he would carry out her profession , Kahramanmaraş . My two aunt and my grandmother were in our home.He had his breakfast quickly and went to the bus station together my father and my elder brothers after saying farewell .We, ladies, started our breakfast but our older aunt had a pain on her back and he stopped to eat and went to her home. After then, my aunt's circustance became bad.My father wanted to take my aunt to hospital but she wasn't persuaded to be take the hospital . My uncle tried to persuade her but she rejected also him. Next day my aunt was in bed again. My father was trying to persuade her but he couldn't be accomplishing. At the end of the day, she was convinced by my father and they went to the hospital . But the doctors treat my aunt neglectly and that's why they send off her after a superficial examination. However,her case get bad againand my uncle take her the hospital.The doctors must have understood something in that they send off home to her again. But she couldn't even stand up. Finally my father gets annoyed at he doctors by thinking thet they don't care of themselves .As a result of this, the doctors decide to send my aunt to Kayseri. But it doesn't work.While they are going to Kayseri by ambulance, my aunt dies in front of my uncle and my mother's eyes . My broher, who had just started his job, was phoned to to inform about this sad event and my brother returned immediately.
This event had profound effects on all of us. Firstly my mother became ill after this event although she didn't love my aunt (neither did my aunt).Secondly my father was caught an illness called Brucella which took one year to recover for my father . Because of this illness, he had to use walking stick since he had fell down walking on the road.My grandmother and my other aunt was already very sad . And a week after my aunt had died , one of my brothers went to military service but we couldn't be happy. Morover we didn't inform my brother who was making military service at that time lest he might be upset.

THE MISERY

An old Indian master had got rid of complainting about everything of his apprentice . One day he sent out his apprentice to buy salt.When the apprentice ,who were unhappy about everythingin his life, returned ,the old master said to him ''Add a handful of salt to a glass water and drink the water ! ''.The apprentice made the thing which the man said but as soon as he drank it , he started to throw it up.
He replied angrily by saying ''Bitter! '' to the man who asked by saying '' How is its taste ?''.
Then the master brought him out smiling .Quietly he took him to the lake's coast and said to him '' By throwing a handful of salt to the lake, drink water from the lake! '' . The apprentice made the said thing again.The master asked the same question again- '' How is its taste?'' -.The young apprentice answered by saying '' Refreshing ! ''. ''Did you get the taste of salt ? '' said the old man . The young man said '' No !'' .
Then the old man sat down near his apprentice and said those '' The miseries are like salt- neither is it little, nor is it much -. Qantity of the misery is always the same. But the bitterness of this misery depends on that which it is put in . All which you need to do when you have a misery, is to extend your emotions about the thing which causes this misery .That's why don't be a glass, try to be a lake !''

OUR LOVELY HOME

This picture which is on the screen now belongs our handwork-eye straining efforts house which we made through Second Life.We had a lot of problems, some of which resulted from me and rest of which our neigbours caused , while we were building this house.But it was worth to our efforts.I want to explain stages of costruction it.Firstly we formed a 5 person-group. But we did not know what we would and how we would .That's why we were a few excited and anxious. Then the lecturer explained us how we can it. We made up work-sharing and started to build our house .Each of us created small cubes and adjusted theirs sizes( wide,lenght, height) and combined with them.We made a different door at height of the wall for our home. We placed a few furniture.Secondly one of my friends ,Ceren, formed a pyramid and put it on our home as a roof. Finally we painted colorful this house that we built with difficulties so that it could make us happy.As a result we have a house and we are very happy because of this. We would like to visit us in our lovely house.

''Thank you very much for your aids , my dear home-mates .''

I am so sorry I made a mistake again. The last sentence must have been ' You are indispensable for me... '

LONELINESS IN THE CROWDED!

I am get rid of studying lesson, doing homework and everything , even life. Actually these are ones of things which I like most in my life. I like them no more as much as past. This weariness is getting increase more and more because my lovers are far me. I missed my family very much especially my elder brother, Nurettin. He is everything for me. He is my brother, my friend and even my father. If I needed whatever, he came to my aid. I have never loved anybody more than him.When he was doing his military service, I cried everyday since I missed him a lot. I can't put up with being without him. I felt myself very strong while he was together me but he is not anymore. I was left sitting high and dry. I don't know where and how I will fly. I need to get a tip from him. I need to see that he is supporting me. But this is not possible anymore. He is very far me. However still I know that he backs me. He always tells me that I must call him immediately, if I have any problems. '' Of course I will call you everytime , my darling brother. Otherwise how can I tackle with trouble of life .You are for me... ''

I am sorry I made a mistake. Correct is ' Finally,there are many factors which affect which university the students in METU prefer. '

ANALYSIS OF THE STUDENTS IN METU

We categorize a number of groups the students in METU. But it is very difficult because it takes a lot time. So I will divide a few groups into them .
Firstly, we can classify these students according to their nationalities. In METU, there are a lot of students from different countries. For example, these are from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Africa, Kosovo...etc. And secondly we can classify them according to whether they speak english well. The students who studied their high school outside Turkey speak english better than in Turkey.Because they were educated in english, and they know more foreign languages.Finally, there are many factors which university the students in METU prefer .These factors are education quality, social activities ,free life ... So some students come to METU with purpose of studying in a school whose education quality is higher. But unlike these students , some students like social and sportive activities and prefer METU. As a result all students in METU have different perspectives.

PURPOSES OF USİNG SECOND LIFE

People have a lot of different causes to use Secondlife . But most of people purpose developing their foreign languages by using secondlife. They think communicating different people is very important. I also think so. Because those people whom we are conversating on secondlife are from different countries and have different cultures, lifestyles and languages. And we are practising thanks to this. Moreover I am having problem at speaking english fluently. To say truth, Iam bad at speaking english. To speak a foreign language fluently, it is necessary to think spped and reply spontaneously. I hope I will tackle with this problem via Secondlife. And that's why İt is benefit to use SL. But many people use SL for funny and introducing new people. On the other hand, some people use secondlife for lesson. For example we use SL for Advanced Reading and Writing thanks to Sedat teacher.
Thank everybody !
