SMOKİNG

Lately, whether or not smoking should remain legal has been discussed all over the world. While opponents of smoking claim that smoking is risky for health especially for heavy smokers, it should remain legal for two main reasons. Firstly, smoking is a human right. People have the right to do whatever they want and one of the rights is smoking. Anyone puts pressure on that they can not smoke as humans who smoke are deprived of choosing freely. That is violation of human rights. Secondly, forbidding smoking attracts people's attention. According to reports, crime rates have increased due to finding illegal ways to buy a pack of cigarette. To illustrate, In USA at the big depression times people sold alcohol and cigarette at secret places and earned a lot of money illegally. Despite those strong arguments supporting this issue, the defenders who want that smoking should be illegal claim that smoking affects non-smokers negatively. The proponents of the issue have a point, but it is prevented by prohibiting smoking indoor. People cannot smoke some places such as hospital,school, business office. This protect not only smokers but also non-smokers' rights. To sum up, it is crucial that smoking should be legal due to human rights.

REMEMBER ME

I and my roommates have been waiting this film for months- uh sorry waiting Robert Pattinson=) We have loved him since we read his books which he plays in leading role. We were influenced and went to the film ,which summarizes the books, as soon as they released. After we watched the films, we said that we should watch again:) And one day we saw that- Remember me's fragman- I do not know how many times we pushed the start button and watched again and again. We decided to go to this film together.

Three days ago was that time. We were excited when the light was turned off and we just watched it up to the end. In the end, we looked each other , said: ''Woww! Tyler cannot be a human!'' at the same time. Although the film is wonderful, it cannot compete with Tyler:)

The film tells that a rebellious young man -Tyler- who has a strained relationship with his father since tragedy separated their family. Tyler's brother suicided after he worked with their father because he was a musician but his father wanted to work near him. Therefore, he went into a tailspin and suicided. Tyler did not think anything except his sister after this event became. Love was the last thing on his mind until the day he met Ally. Her spirit inspires him and he begins to fall in love. Through their love, he begins to find meaning in his life. However, unexpected end was waiting their love.

The end of this film is surprising. We did not expect the end like that; in spite of everything, we were crying when the lights turned on. Tyler! Tyler! Why did Tyler smile delightfully=)=)

SUNSHINE

In a poor district near Lima a young man steps out of his home- a tiny house with a plastic roof. He looks up at the early morning sky. Another day with no sunshine. The weather has been terrible recently. He cannot remember the last time he saw the sun. Heavy grey clouds fill the sky and his heart feels cold with sadness. There is no sunshine when she's gone, he thinks. There is only darkness everyday and she has not called for so long. He wonders if she's gone for ever. He tries to imagine life without her. What if she stays over there in Madrid cleaning the houses of the rich?
He turns as he hears a noise; one of the children is waking up. They miss her so much. The house just is not a home without her. Everyday they ask him, 'When is mama coming home?' and what can he say? One day. Soon my baby. 'And why is not she here papa?' Why? Because they need the money, and there are no jobs, and over there she can earn in a day what you earn here in a month. It is not easy to feed five hungry children but it is not easy for them to live without their mother.
He sighs. Time to wake them up and get them ready for school.He knows many people who send their children to work, to wash cars or to beg, but she has always said that her children must get an education.
However, it is hard. He misses her too. He misses her smile,her voice, the songs she sings even when things look black. He knows she loves him. But why has not she called? Perhaps she has found someone else. He feels like crying, but he cannot. Not in front of the children.
A dog starts barking. He turns back to the house to start another day.
Suddenly, a ray of sunshine breaks through the clouds and lights up the doorway just as Veronica steps through the door. He feels the warm sun on his back. The little girl has just woken up and is rubbing sleep from her eyes. She looks so like her mother. She yawns and he hears her mother's voice. He hears his name, 'Nacho! Nacho! Is Veronica speaking? Behind him he hears footsteps. He turns round. The sun is too bright and he cannot see clearly. He puts his hand up to his eyes, and then thinks, 'I have not woken up! I am still dreaming!' But then Veronica shouts out, ' mama!' He knows that sometimes dreams come true..

To summarize, broadening our horizon, gaining experience of work-life and improving our language skills are positive effects of joining work and travel.

'' Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful nor conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other people's sins but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust,to hope and to endure whatever comes.''
