Christmas and New Year
Christmas
Christmas is a day, a special day, which is celebrated by Christians. It is the birth of Jesus Christ so it is a religous and a cultural celebration. It is the 25th of December and lasts until new year.
The symbols and decorations of Christmas are:
Pine tree, stars, angels, red or green clothes, reindeers, cane sugar, socks, bells, mitletoe, Santa Claus, presents.
New Year
New Year is the time, whenwe begin to a new calendar. It is commonly 1st of January but some contries use different calendar, so their new year is different from us. We celebrate, eat and have fun during the night, which connects 31st December to 1st January and we give presents each other.
Actually new year hasn't got its own symbol or decoration. The people who celebrate new year, took the decorations and symbols from Christmas.

An Eccentric Person
One of the Eccentric People: William Buckland 1784-1856
He was famous with two things: he was the first man, who describes the whole details about a fossil and he was a very eccentric person, when the issue comes to animals and food. He loved natural history. This caused tohis house to become a zoo. He had almost every kind of animal in his house. He was eating his animals continuosly and serving his guests. He said, he wanted to eat every kind of animal. He also mentioned, the worst tastes of animals, that he had eaten were bluebottle flies and mole. His guests said, her served panther, crocodile and mouse. A famous storyteller said "There was a heart of a French King (Louis XIV) at Nuneham in a silver casket. Hebwas talking about itand said "I have eaten a lot of strange things, but i have never eaten a King's heart." before anyonecould stop him, he 'gobbled up' (took and ate) and the heart was gone forever.

Teen Smokers
Teen Smokers
The number of teen smokers is decreasing day by day, except teen smokers in Turkey. The number of teen smokers in Turkey increased in comparisiom for the other countries.. Have you ever thought why it is not a deal for us anymore?
Teen in Turkey have stressful, fast and hard lives. The hard conditions in Turkey is getting more- because of thr issues in Turkey and teens are more stressed, but these are not the only reasons for smoking. For example finding solutions to their problems or trying to feel better about their heart breakings. Also some of them smoke to be cool. We got used to these problems because we see teen smokers in a lot of series and in social media. Tumblr, Instagram and Twitter that we call "cool stuff" make us more curious about smoking and in a while we just see them and did not pay attention that much. If you look closer, you will understand, that these are big issues.
The age of beginning to smoke is between is between 11-18 year old. The research of Türk Kalp Çalışması showed 20% of the smokers are between 11-14 years old and the 80% are under 21 years old. A research, made with elemantary school kids found these results. The percentage of whole boy smokers of elemantary school 11.5 and the girls are 1.9, which is less than boys but still a disappointing number. And the 95% of elemantary school kids know the brands the brands of cigarettes. They need not know the brands.
These results leading us to cunclusion. At first we need to inform teenagers before adults. Teens are our future. Also teens should learn we were not born to be tortured by life. Smoking is not the key. Smoking becomes a torture by itself. Do not be prominent and live your life full.

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to complaint my new shoes that i bought through your website.
I ordered them two weeks ago but it has not arrived till this morning. When it arrived, the colour of shoes was wrong . It is also the wrong size . I wanted 36 but these shoes are 37 . The colour of shoe sales are different too. One of them are more lighter than the other. I did not understand it. The box of shoes was crumpled. Why do not your salesmen pay more attention to their orders and customers ? I would like you to give a full refund. If you do not do it, i will go a step furtherand take this issue to the court.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours Faithfully,

A Birthday Memory
A few weeks ago was my grandmother's birthday. She didn't know about it. We wanted her to make some food and she was angry about it because she thought "This is my birthday and they wanted to cook some food to them" but the food is for my aunt's family. My aunt , cousin and uncle were coming from Ankara. My grandma didn't know it. We weren't at home too. I had my conservatory and my parents picked me up and we drove at home. We bought a cake before we got home . My family and my aunt's family came at the same time so we didn't have a problem. We opened the house door quietly and we walked slowly. We burned the candles. Then we sang the birthday song while we went to the livingroom. My grandma was shocked . Her tiredness was gone. We were so happy.

I can sing loudly in my room. I have a neighboor. I sometimes hear baby cryings from the neighboor maybe they can hear me too but that is okay for me . Generally i love my room and it is comfortable.
My Home
Our home is a flat but it has got two floors. Second floor has got only only one bedroom and a bathroom . First floor has got three bedrooms , two bathrooms and one livingroom. There is a kitchen too. Our kitchen is big. Our flat is not messy but not tidy either because we have a big family and my brother's toys are everywhere.
