It was a rainy day of November. Steven was looking out from her wife’s ward in the hospital. The light could not illuminate the street properly, only some children running along the street could be seen. They were laughing each other but wind was too strong to hear anything from outside. A little later the children disappeared in darkness. Steven sat the seat standing opposite of the bed and looked his wife, Barbara. Thinking the day when they met in a restaurant in San Francisco. They were waiting for this for nine months and now they had a baby of their own after looking other babies for livelihood for mouths. It would not be easy for them to bring up a child but it was their most important dream. Steven started to work in a bar and now he earned more and Barbara was a waitress but it is too difficult to make a living in San Francisco. Steven was thinking of this and what to do. He suddenly decided to move another city but then decided not to do. They had a house in there and jobs but they might not find them in another city. Suddenly Steven’s mobile phone rang, he tried to open it quickly not to wake up Barbara but she opened her eyes and looked around. Steven kissed her and went out of the room. It is Steven’s boss and asking when he could come to work again. After a short conversation, Steven entered the room. Barbara tried to take the flowers standing in a vase on the table. Steven ran and gave them to her and sat near her. She wanted him to give her glasses and read a few pages from book which was her best. After reading some pages, Steven noted that she was sleeping. He took his bag and went to entrance floor to talk with the doctor. He knocked the door and entered the room. The doctor was watching a program about UFO, he turned off the television and walked slowly to his trombone and started to wipe it. Steven started to bleat but suddenly the doctor took his head phone and called a man. He wanted him to discharge Barbara from hospital the following day. He turned to Steven and said “will you want this?” Steven could not say anything, he thanked and closed the door. He went to ‘check out’ to live and the nurse in front of the computer wrote his name and gave him a pay slip. It was too much for him to pay he called his best friend but he also had no money to give. His friend sold his notebook and sent the money to Steven so they could go their home. They were so happy for this baby and wanted to go home as soon as possible. They run across the road and then wanted to run another but in this second a car crashed them and except for baby the couple died

I have been writing paragraphs on this blog since the beginning of this semester.However, I have many difficulties about finding a suitable topic to write. I always think what to write but cannot find anything. In spite of making a great deal of effort , I do not manage to find. I look the newspapers to find a topic which is full of diductive and entertaining index , however, there is nothing important in Turkish newspapers. I read my friend’s proses but I still cannot find. They can write very well and find different, interesting subjects to write but I connot. I try, try and try. I am afraid of becoming a philosopher. I watch my environment in lab to find a suitable one but I cannot. While I am watching the other people they also look at me and they look as if they think ‘what a crazy and an anormal(stupid) young.’

I want to present one of the most attractive cities in the world. It is the capital of Spain, Madrid. It is placed in the center of the Iberian Peninsula, and is encircled by mountains. It is home to the Spanish Royal family as well as the Spanish Government. It is a modern metropolitan city and an economical and industrial center of Spain, and, with its population of nearly 3.5 million people, is also the biggest city in Spain. The weather in Madrid varies a lot depending on the season, from hot and dry in the summer and with some rain in the winter.
Madrid has something for everyone! Whether you decide to spend your time admiring art, traveling through the eternal aged streets, or enjoying a restaurant you're sure to be amused, startled, and captivated by all you see and experience in Spain's capital city. It's no doubt why Spain's capital city arouses such a enthusiasm in those who have experienced it. Madrid never loses her liveliness to inspire the heart and change the lives of all who visit. Madrid is one of Spain's most trendy destinations and is well-known for its large quantity of cultural heritage. Madrid is considered one of the top European destinations concerning art museums. Madrid has a lot of interesting attractions that offer both culture and amusement. The city is full of great monuments, like the royal palace, the Plaza Mayor or the many sculptures, and for people interested in art, the museums Del Prado, Reina Sofia have some of the most preposterous compilation of famous Spanish visual artists like Picasso, Velazquez and Goya. If you like to be entertained, Madrid has two big amusements parks and there are regular international concerts, big flea markets, parades and other activities going on. To sport fans Madrid can offer everything from skiing during the winter, to golf all year round, as well as intercontinental sporting events and the possibility to practice nearly any sport at the University facilities. If you like going out at night, Madrid has a very interesting nightlife throughout the whole week and which is available all year round. You can either go out for a snack, eat at a very nice restaurant, go to the cinema or one of the many theaters, or find nearly any type of bar or disco. Experience Madrid and absorb all the magic it offers you. You'll not only be glad you do, but you'll possibly be altered forever.

EFFECTIVE TEACHER
In our highly educated world, educators are looking for new effective methods to educate students more cheaply, fast and influentially. The most important one is educating effective teachers to provide effective teaching. So what makes a teacher effective? And should teachers’ jobs, their careers, really be only giving and wanting students to answer questions in each spring? The effective teacher must be a leader who can inspire and influence students through expert and referent power but never forceful power. This teacher knows his subject well and is kind and respectful toward his students. He also has high standards and expectations with encouragement, support, and flexibility. This teacher authorize students and gets them to do things of which they did not think they were capable. This teacher has students who surpass him. The effective teacher is an innovator who changes strategies, techniques, texts, and materials when better ones are found or when existing ones no longer provide a substantive learning experience for her students.

Yunus Emre was a Turkish poet and Sufi mystic. He was probably born in 1238. He has a immense influence on Turkish literature, from his own age until the present. Following the Mongol invasion of Anatolia, Islamic mystic literature thrived in Anatolia, and Yunus Emre became one of its most distinguished poets. He is one of the first poets known by name to have composed extensively in the Turkish language and his poems.He remains a popular figure in a number of countries, stretching from the Balkans to Azerbaijan. Now he is a world wide poet. His poetry gives no weight to the separations of religion, sect, race, color or status. He never discriminates among human beings, his embracing attitude welcomes all humanity without any sense of differences; he does not separate, he unites people in his humanism.


Yunus Emre the mystic is my name,
Each passing day fans and rouses my flame,
What I desire in both worlds is the same:
You're the one I need, you're the one I crave.
