OPINION ESSAY

DO YOU THINK THAT ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE IS GOOD EFFECTS ON THE PEOPLE?

Whether you agree or not, I believe that alternative medicine gives harmful effects to people who are using. A lot of people saw non-conventional medicine as miracle. They always believed strongly if they use this medicine, they will protect from illness themselves without thinking its side-effects. However; taking doctors’ advise or going to the doctors’ is beter and healtier than using alternative medicine.

Nowadays, if people catch a cold or another illnesses, there are a lot of ways to keep them from getting worse or cleaning them up all together without any kind of medication. They are called ‘ koca-karı ilacı’ in Türkish such as drinking mint-lemon tea if you’re cold or putting beaten bread on the bruised / being hurt place. They are beneficial sometimes, because they are so easily coming over when it is compared with cancer or tumor… etc. A lot of study don’t support this medicine and the people using it. A Norwegion Multicentre Study examined the association between the use of alternative medicine and cancer survival. 515 patients using Standard medical care for cancer were followed for 8 years.22% of these patients used alternative medicine concurrently with their Standard care. The study revealed that death rates were 30% higher in alternative medicine users than in those who didn’t use alternative medicine.

As I said both introductıion and body paragraph, alternative medicine has negative effects on the people using it. If you want to have longer and healtier life, you must give up using alternative medicine and start to prefer to conventional medicine.

MY THOUGHTS ABOUT 2 FILMS

When I compare two films, I want to say I liked Miracle Worker more than Angela's Ashes .I do not know why, but I get impressed from it.Angela'a Ashes is one of the most impressive films.As I knew its content, I liked another film.Miracle Worker is ,in fact, a perseverance girl.If I were her teacher,I thougt that I would not put up with her.She was so saasy girl.However, I thougt Keller,her behaving type was so normal because as you knew , she was both deaf and blind.Angela'a Ashes was so effective film , too.They tried to live in that poorness and difficultness.As consequences of them, the children started to die or starve.:(.Shortly, both of films are so effective, succesfull and well-done.

DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY

A VISIT TO A ZOO

The rain had been failing continuously for the last three or four days. We had been virtually imprisoned in our rooms. Some of my friends and I decided to enjoy this Sunday thoroughly. We started 10 A.M and reached the Edward Memorial Zoological Garden, Lucknow,at 11 A.M. As we entered the gate, we noticed two [airs of monkeys of a special type. Standing near the boundary, some small children were giving them bananas. These monkeys, know as Gorillas, walked like man to take them. There chattering was also, more or less, similar to the voice of man. They could imitate the various actions of man. One of them walked with a stick in his hand. They interested us very much. In fact, gorillas and chimpanzees are the nearest relations of man in hierarchy of evolution.
Just a few steps ahead, on the left hand, we saw the bird's section. They were kept in very large enclosures surrounded by wire gauze. Inside the enclosures, there were trees, a small tank, a few water-pots etc. There were birds of numerous types. They attracted us very much. Their multicolored winds and different notes were very charming. Some ducks and cranes were swimming in the tank. Cranes looked very beautiful. We also saw two ostriches. They were white with beautiful red, long necks. The neck could be thrown out to a long distance like a spring. We liked them very much.

Then we turned towards the right hand. There were large enclosures with very strong and big iron gates. Though the iron bars of the gates we could see a pair of big lions. They very sight of them was frightening. Few small cubs were also playing inside it. But the condition of the lions was quite pitiable. It was other chambers, close to this chamber, there were panthers and tigers. They also did not appear to be quite comfortable inside their enclosures.
To the right of these enclosures, we observed a large trench. In some parts of if there was water. Tress were also growing in it. At first sight, it appeared to be a neglected area. But when we came near it and observed more keenly, we found at some distance a big Rhinoceros walking freely in it. We were told by a guide that its skin in very tough. A bullet could not pierce it. It would be rebounded. It was used for making shields. We were all surprised to learn this. Indeed, it was a frightful animal which we have never seen before.
One thing which we observed there, was the feeding arrangement for the different animals. The zoo authorities gave the most suitable diet to the different animals. Lions and other meat -eaters were given meat. Birds were given food grains which they liked. Those animals which liked to eat grass and green leaved, were left in grassy field. Thus they were kept in the most natural way. Still some of the animals who are great freedom lovers did not like artificial arrangement which were provided for them.

After spending about four hours in the Zoo, we decided to return. I felt that a great a addition has been made to my knowledge. Thus Zoo is a place of education as well s of entertainment. It may be suggested in the end that the animals kept in a Zoo must be treated sympathetically. Big animals, like the lions, leopards, etc, should be given their fill of food. They should not be kept hungry.

DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY

Summer at the Cabin


The cabin was built in the 1950's when my Great Grandpa rode up there, and it looks like not many repairs have been made since that time. The cabin is about 15 feet by 20 feet, and is made out of pine logs. There are places where you can see between the logs because the chinking is falling out. The cabin faces to the east. It has a small porch that was made by leaving the first four logs of the cabin about six feet longer than the rest. There is a small set of corrals in front of the cabin. There is an old shed to the north of the cabin, and the outhouse is behind it.

The porch has a hole in it where a horse stepped through it when someone forgot to put the chain across the doorway. In the rafters hang old horseshoes that we tack on when one of our horses loses a shoe. Half the porch is cluttered with tools, shovels jacks, chains, shoeing equipment and an axe. The other half is full of firewood.

The only electric thing in the cabin is the phone. Propane or wood runs everything else. There is only one propane light in the cabin. To light the rest we use Coleman lanterns. There isn't any running water in the cabin so we have to haul water.
The floor to the cabin is made out of scrap lumber. It used to be rough, but has been worn smooth with time. There are places where it has rotted out and has been patched. There are also places that have been burned by sparks from the two stoves, and people spilling the ashes. Inside the cabin, behind the door, is a long bench we stack pop, canned stew, and many other things on. In the corner is the dog food, which we keep inside so the squirrels and birds don't get it. However that doesn't stop the mice. At night you can hear them run across the floor and into the sack. We trapped mice for three weeks before we stopped hearing them at night.

A large hand made table is pushed against the left wall of the cabin. This is where we eat and play cards. I also sleep under the table at night because it is the only open space. At each end of the table is a homemade chair, and for the length of the table is an old bench.

Farther along the left wall is a four-post bed. It is the only bed in the cabin so we draw cards to see who gets it. Getting the bed isn't that big of a deal because the springs are bad and the mattress is covered with stains. I think the best part about getting the bed is that one of the three windows is above it.

On the back wall is a slab of wood that we use for a shelf. It holds a deformed deer antler, a coyote skull, and the shells for the guns. Below the shelf is the gun rack where the rifles set. On the top rung is my old Winchester 30,06, next is a Ruger .223. After that is a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun. The last two rungs are taken by the .22 rifles. A company I have never heard of before made one. The other is a very old Savage. In the corner is a four point Mule deer head that the pistols hang off of. There are two Ruger .44's, and a Ruger .22 pistol.

Starting down the right wall, the first thing is the sink. The dirty dishes are piled in and around the sink. Under the sink is the bathtub. It is a big metal tub that we use to take baths and rinse the dishes.

Next along the wall is a small table that has a Forest Service map tacked to it. The map tells us where the ponds, gates, and fences are. Beside the map is the turnout paper. It tells us how many cows each person turned out. Then is the dead list, where we write down all the cows we find dead and who they belong too.

Farther down the wall is the refrigerator. It is full of left overs, sandwich meat, mayo, cheese, mustard, pickles, pop, and medicine for the cows. Next is the freezer. It's full of meat, bread, and a bucket of vanilla ice cream.

That is the cabin at cow camp where I spend part of my summer. Even though it may not sound that great, I think it is one of the best places I could spend my summer. It is really cool to be where my Great Grandpa had ridden, and said the best times of his life had been. I don't think I will ever get to go anywhere that has that effect on me again.

ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

BURGLARY

The burglary is done by the people who think themselves as helpless.This is sometimes become because of physicological problems.In the past, there were a lot of burglary events but nowadays it gets more and more because of the unemployment.When it is thought, the burglary is betrayal of the people’s to themselves and other people.

Firstly,those whom think the burglary as a solution betray them ; in the other word, they deceive themselves.Every one has physicological problems or can have no Money to get by.However, they shouldn’t steal something from anybody.This is a wrong behaviour.They can find a way to earn the Money.The ony help is not the burglary.If they do this, they lose their trust to themselves.They have iner conflict.

Also, the burglary is wrong and unacceptable behaviour, because it is aganist the community’s rule.Those whom maket he burglary are punished without being listened their excuses.In the same time, this people are excluded from the society.Nobody believes their reliable any more.If a person burgle once, he/she is always seen an unreliable person.

It is true that some people in the society look the burglary as an escaping and the easiest way to earn the Money.So they always try to do this wrong behaviour without thinking their outcomes.However, the burglary should never be solution to have the Money.Instead as I said above, these people can find a job and earn the Money in the moral way.In the end, they lose neither their own reliable nor the society’s reliable.

I believe that even though unemployment is increasing nowadays, as long as the society is gtting more and more well-informed this burglary will decrease day by day.Both people and the world will be happy and full of relianle.

CLASSIFICATION ESSAY

THE TYPES OF TEACHERS

Teachers are very important for us.After family, they give us lessons ,teach us.They take this responibility .In the same time we are the trust to them.There are a lot of teacher types such as democratical,authertical,funny, and boring.

Firstly , let me talk about democratical ones.Every student wants to be behaved equally.This type of teachers is exactltwhat they want.These teachers don't make a distinction among students.They treat every student in way they deserve.For example;some teachers some students make distinctions to the some of the students-they are maybe their relatives or acquaintance-.Even thse students are not succesful, they make them pass the course.

As another type of tecahers , autheritical ones may be given as an example.These teachers don't behave the students tolerantly.They don't always give them a right to show their opinions or thoughts.This causes that the tudents don't like these teacherS and come to the school unwillingly.These teachers want to be done what they want by heir students.If opposite becomes, they are angry with these behaviours and their students.

Another teacher type is funny ones.These teachers always make jokes to their students during the lessons like Recep teacher and in my opinion this type is the most liked one.Therefore, the students both aren't bored in the lessons and are succesful and come to the school willingly.

As the last one, the boring ones.They are opposite of the funny ones.The lessons of these teachers never pass according to the students .Teachers tell the subjects monotously.This makes the students bored.

As I mentioned above, there are a lot of type of the teachers and they are very important for both students and their succesfull.I hope that you won't bored during the course .I hope that your teachers are the funny and democratical ones.
