MY FAVOURITE PLACE(revised descriptive essay)

Every time when I find an oppurtunity to go somewhere I go to my beautiful village.It is my favourite place..It takes approximately one hour from the main city,Ankara,by car to reach.I like it in terms of its clear nature and location.I spend my childhood there with my grandparents.They grew me up and treat me like their child.I love them very much.perhaps I like this small village so much as I grew up there.Yeşilöz is a beautiful vllage which is located in a wonderful green valley.It takes its name from its charming green environment.There are lots of trees on the streets.Also,it is sorrounded with mountains and it has a river which flows into the other villages.Once,it used to be so clean that people would drink its water.However,nowadays it has started to be dirty so animals living there have been affected very badly.Unfortunately,if some precautions aren't taken to save them,we will encounter more trajic situations.Despite this terrible situation I like to be there...Our small,wooden house is by the river.Whenever I am in the balcony I take a deep breath full of clean air and smell the colourful flowers in our front garden.This makes me more energetic and happy.I feel secure,peace and happy.My most favourite time in the village is nights.We can hear the sounds of frogs and see the wonderful visual combination of flyfires.This is breathtaking...When there is a moon,I enjoy looking at the stars.I spend enjoyable time after the dinner taking with my small family.We sit in our balcony and tell funny stories looking back to our past experiences.All these sensations give me an impression of happiness,freedom and peace.Whenever I am there,I forget all other sorrow things.For these reasons,Yeşilöz is my favourite place.

Every year all of my villagers celebrate a special festival whose name is "Çınar Dibi Festival".It takes place in July,but its exact date depends on the day when everyone is in the village.In this special day every person especially people living there make some preparations a few days in advance.

To get ready for this festival a number of items must be prepared.Firstly,the mayor of village posts lots of posters to annunce the date and the locatıon of it.Then,women clean all streets and prepare some special foods for our guests.They are really delicious and different.

In addition to announcing it,the mayor arranges some activities such as theatres and competitions to make it more enjoyable.He also invites some singers working in TRT.At sunset a group whose name is"Ankara Seymenleri"comes to square to show their traditional dance.Thanks to them this festival becomes a day we will never forget.

In the evening,men light a fire in the centre of the village.Around it both women and men get togetter to watch this huge fire.At the same time,drummers come to square and people dance around the fire even some of them jump over the fire.Despite being dangerous it is the most common tradition in my village.

In conclusion,it is an enjoyable festival for me.I look forward to this special day every year with my friends.I hope that it will last every summer without delaying.
