Albert Einstein

The genious scholar Albert Einstein was born in southern Germany, in the city of Ulm, in 1887.I want to give short ınformatıon about hım.
Albert Einstein did not appear to be a genius at first. Unlike many people, Einstein's father introduced algebra to him. Einstein was so interested in it that when he was fourteen he started his own series of books on natural science. When Einstein got older he became so intensely involved in math that he enrolled in a college in Switzerland. Even though he was enrolled in college, Einstein usually stayed in his room and did studied on his own. Einstein graduated from college in 1900 and from there looked for employment.
Einstein was an unique in science.He is the greatest scientist of 21th century. He conjured and revolutionized ideas of space, time and motion.

WHY DON'T AMERİCANS LİKE SOCCER

Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world. However, it will never be as popular in the U.S. as big spectacular sports for some reasons. The biggest reason is that it doesn't conform easily to the demands of television. Basketball, for example, succeeds enormously in America because it has regular time-outs, which are ideal for Tv commercials. However, soccer, with the exception of its half-time break, has no time outs. The next reason that soccer is not so popular is that Americans love their violence, and soccer doesn't provide it in the way that American football and hockey do. The last reason for soccer's lack of popularity is that it is just too difficult to score in soccer. America love its football games, with scores like 49 to 35, and a professional basketball game with scores below 100 is regarded as a defensive bare. In soccer, on the other hand, scores like 2 to 1, or even 1 to 0, are common place and apparently desirable. The reasons that why Americans don't love soccer seem reasonably.

WHAT WILL FATHER CRİSTMAS BRİNG TO US AS A GİFT?

Yes, only one day has left to new year. 2008 will go and 2009 will come. People have been preparing for it and they have a lot of plans. They all want to celebrate it happily. I always wonder that what will be changed if the year changes. We all have a different ideas about it. Some of us believe that everything will change if the year changes. We believe that new year brings new chances. But, I’m of the opinion that nothing will change. We will be same.We will have the same life. Is there anyone who believes that our character or something of us will change?? I’m not a pessimist. But,it’s a reality. Of course, I wish everything changed in a good way. I hope Santa Claus will bring good things as a gift. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

IF I HAVE THE CHANCE TO CHANGE MY ENGLİSH TEACHER

If I have the chance to change my English teacher, I would change their personality. Before anything else,personality is important than other characters. If one person has a poor personality, it’s impossible for him/her to have an other good characters. Our lives may change according to teachers . So,they can change our lives either positively or negatively. Of course, teachers would prefer to change students life positively if they are real teachers. So,first of all, they should love their students.
I wish I said that I had a good English teacher at high school.But, one thing prevent to say that: they were all cold. One of them was old Russian lady and I don’t remember that she called my name. Therefore,thanks to her,I have never felt sympathy neither to her nor to English.
Eventually I found my favourite English teacher when I came here. She was my teacher in prep school. She was excellent both in the profession of teacher and in personality. She had a good knowledge about everything and her teaching style was nice.So that, we have never bored when we were in her lessons. Also, we could share everything with her.
In my opinion, teacher is a holy profession. So it shouldn’t be wasted because of some people.People should choose teacher as a profession, if they like it.

Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee was born in San Fransisco in November 1940 and raised in Hong Kong until his late teens. He was a loner and was constantly getting himself into fights, with this in mind he looked towards Kung Fu as a way of disciplining himself. In 1959, at the age of 18, Lee got into a fight and badly beat his opponent, getting into trouble with the police. His father became concerned about young Bruce's safety, and as a result, he and his wife decided to send Bruce to the United States to live with an old friend of his father's.Then, he started to study for a degree in philosophy at the University of Washington in America. It was at this time that he took on a waiter's job and also began to teach some of his skills to students who would pay. His father was famous opera singer and that helped him to be introduced into films at very young age. By the time he was 18, he had appeared in twenty films. He regularly gave displays at exhibitions, and it was during one of these exhibitions that he was spotted by a producer and signed up to do The Green Hornet series. His first film was called The birth of Mankind. After his fascinating career, he died in July 1973 while he was acting in The Game of Death.

OBESITY

Many people are concerned about their weight. Society emphasizes being thin, and heavier people often are very aware of their weight and how they are seen by others. We hear in the news that more and more people are becoming overweight and obese. So, what does it mean?

Obesity means having too much body fat. Many factors involved in determining why some people are heavier than others and how much risk they have for developing other health conditions. Some of these factors are genetic- if either of your parents is obese, you are more likely to be obese- and others are related to your culture, environment, and behavior. Basically,you gain weight when you take more calories than your body consumes through its normal functions. Many people overeat when they feel stressed out or depressed. Some people eat in response to negative emotions such as boredom, sadness, or anger.

Whatever the reason is, one thing for sure and that is obesity is unhealthy. It causes to develop some health problems such as high blood pressure ,coronary artery disease, stroke, and sleep apnea. Obese people do need to be convinced of the benefits of losing weight. Although it might mean some sacrifice, displaying self-discipline, and taking less of some pleasures previously taken in abundance, it is worth going through the process.

Because obesity is a chronic disease, it requires long-term management. Treatment focuses on losing weight to improve or eliminate related health problems than to achieve an ideal weight. It consists of modifying your eating habits and physical activity and monitoring your behavior, that is, discovering what triggers you to eat.
