Downloading Music for Free

Thesis Statement: Nowadays many people download music for free instead of paying money for it. To me it is not moral downloading music for free. It is like stealing someone's belongings.

Supporting Ideas:

1) Downloading something without buying is not fair. Owners of these products are working hard to creatae them. So we shouldn't download them without their permission.

2) Downloading for free should be illegal. Recently people have started to use this type of downloading too often. Because there is no law against doing it. To hinder that there must be some sanctions.

Opposite Ideas:

1) According to some people downloading for free is a good thing because they think these products are very expensive. So, they assert that the only way of possesing them is downloading for free.

2) They tend to downloading for free because there is no certain law about whether it is legal or illegal. They think it is not a crime so, they go on doing it.

Refutation:

Nowadays, almost all of people download music for free. They claim that it is not a crime so they can do it. However, by doing that they are abusing efforts of singers and in my opinion they are breaking the law.

Euthanasia

One of the most debated topics that we face nowadays is euthanasia. Many people think euthanasia as a right that all people have. Firstly, there is always a hope; no matter how hard the situation is. Many patients, even when there is no hope, may escape death. Sometimes miracles may occur. Secondly, people aren't supposed kill themselves and others. Now that humanbeings enjoy the beauties of this life, then they should fight back the difficulties. Also, we can't understand the feeling of people who are willing to end their lives. But by raising their morale, we can motivate them and make them hold on to life. Consequently, noone has right to kill themselves or others.

Being Lonely


When we ask someone about loneliness, they can say that's terrible. I also think like that but we can not get rid of this. It is a part of life so we should get accustomed to this. When we start a new ralationship we think that we are not alone. Maybe for a while. But after a certain period they leave us. Sometimes when we have fun and spend nice times with our friends, we can feel good. But when we walk out them we start to feel alone again. It seems like we have anything we want but there is always something which hurts us inside our heart. No one is permanent in our life, every time somebody enters our life and then goes out. Consequently, we should be ready for everything because we can't know what we will face in this life.

My High School


I'm from Mersin but I was graduated from İvriz Anatolian Teacher Training High School in Konya. It was established in 1942. This school is thirteen km away from city center. Because of distance we had to go by bus. It is surrounded by trees and mountains. There are a lot of trees around school building. While I was studying in this school, I stayed in dormitory. In those years I encountered everything which you can imagine and these things are very important experiences for my life. I can not forget my school and my friends. They are still very valuable for me. Because I learnt many things and met lots of people in this school. Also I can't forget times which I spent in there. If I have a chance to go to Ereğli, I'll definitely visit my high school.

Early or Late

Getting up early in the morning and starting to work is better than getting up late and working until late at night. Some people doesn't like getting up early and they constantly postpone doing their work. However, if we get up early, we can finish our tasks earlier and spend more time with our friends or family. According to some people, working at night is better because they think it is silent at night and they can concentrate on their tasks well. But, in the morning, brain works more properly and effectively and at night, with our tired eyes and brain, we have difficulty in doing our tasks. People who get up late also have difficulty in adjusting to the new day. The ones who get up early are more active in their work. Nowadays, many people are getting accustomed to getting up late so it becomes their lifestyle. But such a lifestyle doesn't bring any success in work at all. In conclusion, getting up early is an advantage in terms of health, efficiency and having more spare time.

Better Than the Best


You should have a friend, with whom you can share your most private secrets without even thinking. I have such a friend. My brother's name is Metin. Good or bad, whatever he does to me, I know that it's just for my sake. Apart from others around me, only he tells me everything without hesitating, knowing I don't misunderstand him. He knows all about me and understands me when even I don't talk to him about my problems. He knows how to behave when he looks at my eyes. When I don't want to talk, he doesn't even ask me to explain what is going on. He knows, when the right time comes, I will tell him what is wrong with me. When he tells something about me, I know that it's for my own good and I listen to him without questioning. He is the one whom I trust most in the world. We've graduated from the same high school and here we are together again. And I wish we will be together until death comes to take us. I hope one day you will come across such a ''first-class'' fellow.

Airplanes or Buses


Today, most people think that airplanes are safer than buses because accidents occur on roads more frequently. Before airplanes were invented people had to use buses or cars when they wanted to travel and it took long time. They had to use them because there was no alternative. Since airplanes were invented people have started to choose them because they are faster than others. Buses are slower than airplanes but they are much cheaper. Nevertheless airplanes have some disadvantages, they are more expensive than buses and when a plane crash takes place more people lose their lifes compared to road accidents. Besides some people have fear of height so they don't want to travel by airplane. In terms of comfort airplanes are more luxurious than buses so people who like travelling comfortably choose them. To me, both have some disadvantages but we can't deny using them in our daily life.

Contrasting two places in Secondlife

I've visited two places in Secondlife and I will mention about differences between those places. The first place is Alliance Virtual Library. It has two floors. At the first floor, there are some resources about Secondlife and education, but at the second flooor resources are related to scripts, communication and building. Also around this building there are some different things. There is an inactive volcano and a snowman. As well as there are some flags and photos. While, the second place is very different. The second place is a house and it has wonderful landscape. In front of the house there is a sign and a bust. When we enter the house we can see that at the first floor there are a few old armchairs and posters. There is a piano and it seems worn-out. At the second flooor there are posters of some well-known artists. These two places are very different in many ways.

My Twin Brother

I will mention about my twin brother. He is 18. He doesn't like studying. He couldn't score well in the University Entrance Exam and he's at Sereflikochisar Berat Comertoglu M.Y.O. now. He doesn't look like me at all. He is dark-skinned and he is taller and fatter than me. So, nobody believes we are twins. We were fighting everyday when we were children because our interests differed a lot. But as we got older, we started to understand each other much better. He has his own lifestyle. Although we are very different, I love him and care about him. Whenever I have a problem or I feel confused, he helps me solve my problems. I'm proud of him for his being so kind to me and to others. He's the one whom I trust most. Thank God, I have such a bighearted brother.
