MY OWN LITTLE WORLD(sample descriptive essay)

The door to my study is nearly always closed. It's the place I go to read and work in tranquility. Today, however, I'm inviting you in for a visit.
As you open the door, notice the Guatemalan crucifix with its bright gold and maroon flowers; it joyfully reminds me to dedicate my work to God. Although the room is small, I hope you find it cozy. A big cheerful window lets in the morning sunshine, which saturates the room with its warmth and embraces us with light. Birds chirp outside, beckoning you to enter.
An old-fashioned doctor's desk with brass drawer handles sits in front of the window, its wood full of nicks from many careless moves and tow once-teething puppies. May I introduce you to Ralph, my friendly computer, who sits on top of the desk? When I turn him on, he'll crackle "hello" and blink an inviting amber command on the screen. That's my dog Chico under the desk, snoring in harmony with Ralph and the birds.
Against the left wall are my book cases, sagging with the wise weight of cheap paperbacks and a few expensive gold-spined volumes interspersed. A bronzed Indian chief in a watercolor squints knowingly at us from the wall. Won't you have a seat in the tattered old green armchair nestled in the other corner? I know you smell the freshly perked coffee. I made it specially for your visit. Use my favorite cup there on the tray; it's the one with red and blued balloons around the rim. Stay as long as you wish, but when you're ready to leave, be sure to close the door behind you. I like the peaceful security of this, my own little world.

SECRET BEAUTIES(comparision and contrast essay)

I have been in two different places which gave me an impression that in the future I must live in a small,natural place.One of them is Abana,where I enjoy the taste of silence and the other is Amasra which hugs me with its sincere hospitality and takes my all sorrows away...In fact,they are extremely similar to each other apart from a few differences.
First of all,both are situated on the coast of Black Sea Region,so there are lots of wooden-detached houses which have a breathtaking view.Amasra has many historical houses,castles and mosques.People especially native tourists come to see these touristic places.Because of its closeness to big cities such as Ankara and İstanbul it is always a favourite holiday place with its clean beach and green nature.Similarly,Abana has many wooden mansions.They are so magnificent that you can't help yourself taking some photos in front of them.Furthermore,when you walk around you can see lots of shops,cafes and restaurants where people eat their traditional food and buy souvenirs.
Despite their similarities,these places are a bit different.Life in Abana is more comfortable than Amasra.The first thing I notice is the people wearing jogging suits and walking in the Hacıveli Canyon.It is a wonderful canyon for people who want to be in nature.The second difference is the population of Abana.Especially in winters I can say that it is a dead place.There is not anybody apart from old people,but Amasra is always crowded with its dense population.
In conclusion,these are two place I like.For me both were so sincere and charming that I didn't take my eyes off.When I was in these places I felt that I was in my hometown.I am sure that If I have a chance to go again,I won't miss this oppurtunity.

DO YOU WANT TO BE A DIFFERENT PERSON?(opinion essay)

Is there a point in marrying someone from another culture?I think there is.It is really exciting and interesting.It makes you more different than you were.Apart from these there are some advantages of marrying a foreign person.
First of all,he/she helps you find an opportunity to learn different cultures,traditions and new places.You can go his/her hometown and see the differences between our culture and your lover’s own culture.This broaden your horizons.The other advantage is if you marry a foreign person,you can have a chance to learn his/her own language easily.For example,many experts say that while learning a foreign language making practice is the most effective way.When you marry him or her you will have lots of time to make practice.You have to this because communication between couples is extremely important.However,some people say that marrying someone from another culture is impossible due to cultural differences .I strongly disagree with this because people can overcome every problem if they want.Don’t forget there is not any problem in the world which can not be solved.
In short,If you have a lover from an another country,give him/her a chance and see the differences in your life…
