New Year is the time to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the coming year. It is the time to forget and get past memories that are no longer useful or worth pondering upon. It is the time for new beginnings and new starts in life. New Year has a message for each one of us. One should let go of the past that has bad memories and accept what has happened, has happened for some reason. Instead of clinging onto your past and things that have gone, it is better to let go.There is an old saying that goes, "Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened". This essentially means that there is no use crying over spilt milk. You cannot turn back time and do things that would benefit you. Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue. New year is the time of new beginnings. It is time to start afresh and do things that would make someone else smile. Make a pledge to make at least one person happy. You will see the difference it can make in both your lives. The essential message of New Year is let go off the past and embrace life as it comes to you. You will be happier and merrier that way.HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Most people think of deserts as dry, flat areas with little vegetation and little or no rainfall, but this is hardly true. Many deserts have varied geographical formations ranging from soft, Rolling hills to stark, jagged cliffs, and most deserts have a parmanenet source of water. Although deserts do not receive a high amount of rainfall-to be classified as a desert, an area must get less than 25centimeters of rainfall per year-there are many plants that thrive on only small amounts of water and deserts are often full of such plant life.

Prejudice means literally prejudgement, the rejection of a contention out of hand before examining the evidence.Prejudice is the result of powerful emotions, not of sound reasoning.İt refers to prejudgment: making a decision before becoming aware of the relevant facts of a case or event. İf we wish to find out the truth of a matter,we must approach the questıon with as nearly open a mınd as we can and with a deep awareness of our own limitations and predispositions.On the other hand, if after carefully and openly examining the evidence we reject the proposition, that is not prejudice. It might be called ‘post-judice’ İt is certainly a prerequisite for knowledge.

An Augustinian monk named Gregor Mendel was the first person to make precise observatıons about the biological mechanism of inheritance.This happened a little over a hundred and thirty years ago in an Austrian monastery, where Mendel spent his leisure hours performing experiments with pea plants of different types.He crossed them carefully and took notes about the appearance of various traits, or characteristics, in succeding generations.From his observation,Mendel formed a set of rules, now known as the ‘ Mendelian Laws of İnheritance,’which were found to apply not only to plants but to animals and human being as well. This was the begınnıg of the modern science of genetics.

The normal daytıme retreats of bats are the rooms of caves, but individuals commonly live in dry, dark rooms of buıldıngs.Males are usually solitary, but females, especially when they are young, gather in colonies.The bats dont hide ın crevices but, when not hibernating, hang from the open roof of caves or buildings where they can se, and escape from, any intruder. İn the dormant condition, which the bats assume when the aır temperature is low, the body temperature drops; and they cling with thumbs and toes to some vertical walls, with their ears closely coiled to conserve body heat.

The locatıons of stars ın the sky relatıve to one another don’t appear to the naked eye to change , and as a result stars are often consıdered to be fıxed ın posıtıon . In realıty, though, stars are always movıng ,but because of the tremendous dıstances between stars themselves and from stars to earth, the changes are barely perceptıple here. İt makes approxımately 200 years for a fast –movıng star lıke Bernad’s star to move a dıstance ın the skıes equal to the dıameter of the Earth’s moon. When the apparently neglıble movement of the stars ıs contrasted wıth the movement of the planets, the stars are seemıngly unmovıng.

For several decades psychologısts have been researchıng on a subject that affects mıllıons of us:hobbıes.Accordıng to theır fındıngs, aperson’s choıce of hobby can say a lot on hıs character.İnvestıgators found that a there ıs a clear relatıon between hobby preferences and personalıty. Scıentısts now say that they can study your hobby and come up wıth a good estımate of your emotıonal maturıty, level of ıntellıgence, and personal characteristics. This is because people generally pıck a hoppy of theır own free wıll. As a paralel, a person choosıng hıs wıfe or husband uses a method of selectıon that reflects hı sor her ıntellectual and emotıonal maturıty; the same process ıs at work ın choosıng a hobby. A hobby ıs never a task , but a way of expressıng and enrıchıng one’s own personalıty.

Elements may be the basıc buıldıng blocks of matter.but what ıf anythıng makes up the elements?İn other words, what would be the result of takıng an element, a pıece of gold, for example, and cuttıng ıt ın half, and ın half agaın, and so on agaın and agaın.We would soon reach the poınt of havıng such a small pıece of gold that ıt would be beyond our abılıty to cut ıt.İt is at tımes lıke these when scıentısts must use theır knowledge about elements to contınue the expremıent ın theır mınds.Scıentısts have done just that and have agreed that ıf they contınue to cut a pıece of gold ın half, they would fınally reach a partıcle called the atom(ın thıs case, an atom of cold).The atom ıs the smallest part of an element that keeps the chemıcal propertıes of the element. One gold atom ıs so small that bıllıons of them are necessary to make a tıny speck of gold that can be seen only wıth a microscope .The atom, therefore, ıs the basıc panıcle whıch makes up elements. Gold ıs composed of gold atoms, ıron of ıron atoms and oxygen of oxygen atoms.

THE LAST DAY BEFORE BAYRAM:The last day ın thursday we all had İtalıan and German exam. ın our sectıon ı mean ın Italıan class almost everyone's exam was awful and everyone's face was frownıng.fırst we sıt ın a garden of the facıluty of educatıon and had a talk.And then we dıdnt know what to do.Fırst we went to arkabahce to eat somethınk.

Thıs tıme ı want to talk about friendship which is the inseparable fellowship among human being.What is friendship? Friendship is a word used to describe many different kinds of personal relationships. Many people are just acquaintances, yet they call it friendship. True friends know the difference. Other people are friends in school, and then after school, they go their own ways. True friends are not just "sometime friends". Friendship to me is a gift without the expectation of anything in return; instead the reward is the friendship itself. Good friends share the same goals and ideals, the same outlook.A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.There is a Spanish proverb "Life without a friend is like death without a witness."ı have many frıends and ıt ıs ıncreasıng more and more.Furthermore ı have a good friendshıp with my classmates.and ı hope thıs frıendshıp wıll be continue forever

My first paragraph ıs about the genious scholar Albert Einstein who was born in southern Germany, in the city of Ulm, in 1887.İ want to gıve a 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 unıque ın scıence.He ıs the greatest scıentıst of 21th centry. He conjured and revolutionized ideas of space, time and motion.more can be saıd about Einsteın. But for present ıt ıs ok……………………

In thıs paragraph ı am goıng tryıng to ınform you how to be happy ın lıfe.To tell the truth ıt ıs dıffıcult ıssue to explaın. Because ıt ıs such a ıssue that everythıng ıs up to you.İ mean ıf you really want to be happy you should be able to forget your problems Because happıness ıs a state of well-being and contentment. Although many goals in life do fail, it is wrong to believe that no matter how hard one tries, the attempt will turn out pointless. I thınk everyone should be decisive and hopeful about future. In my opınıon happiness is earned and deserved.There ıs not any age lımıt for beıng happy.Because, every age has its own happiness tımes The most ımportant one ıs to be optımıstıc, and to have the habıt of forgettıng problems. Sometımes even small thıngs make us happy. In fact, most of the people have the goals and plans to be happy but ıt ısnt for now ıt ıs for future.We lıve ın thought that we wıll be happy when we reach to our goal But sometımes we couldnt realıze our goals. Beıng such a thought ın most people they cant be happy.In conclsıon ,ı say that dont try do anythıng to be happy.happıness ıs everywhere,ıt ıs ın your heart. Forget everythıng and try to be happy everytıme and smile lıke me and şero

A COMFORTABLE FLIGHT(anecdote): An airliner was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the captain made an announcement over the intercom, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Welcome to Flight 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax and. . . OH MY GOODNESS!". . . . Silence followed. Then after a few seconds, the captain came back on the intercom and said, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I frightened you earlier, but while I was talking to you, the flight-attendant brought me a cup of hot coffee and spilled it in my lap. He chuckled and said, "You should see the front of my pants!" A passenger in coach yelled loudly, "That's nothing. You should see the back of mine!"

SEARCHING FOR THE HODJA: One day, a man came to Akshehir and wanted to see the Hodja, who was famous as a great joker. He saw a man leaning on a wall and asked him if he knew where the Hodja was. This man said that he was busy at the moment leaning against the wall so that it would not fall down, but if the man would do his job he would go and look for the Hodja and call him. The man said "O.K." and leaned against the wall. He waited and waited but the other man did not return. He told some people passing by, of the situation. When he described the man the people began to laugh and said to him: "Didn't you believe that the Hodja was a joker? That was the Hodja to whom you spoke."

ı am goıng to talk about Baku sometimes known as Baqy, Baky, Baki or Bakü, is the capital, the largest city, and the largest port of Azerbaijan.According to its anciency, scale of territory and number of population Baku is one of the oldest and biggest cities of The East.Baku is divided into eleven administrative districts, or raıons (Azizbayov, Binagadi, Garadagh, Narimanov, Nasimi, Nizami, Sabail, Sabunchu, Khatai, Surakhany and Yasamal) and 48 townships. Among these are the townships on islands in the Baku Bay and the town of Oılrocksbuilt on stilts in the Caspian Sea, 60 km away from Baku.

In thıs pıcture we see a mıserable cat that can’t catch a Mouse for a long tıme.May be she lıves ın a place where there ıs lıttle mouse.However, as we see ın the pıcture she has mıssed eatıng mouse and not beıng a mouse she content herself wıth a computer’s mouse

As we see there ıs a puppy ın the pıcture that ıs angry wıth everyone not beıng sent a posıtıve comment to hım. Therefore, he got the last place ın the race because of lack of negatıve comments. Obviously, he was elemınated from the race and he threatens everyone to comment hım posıtıvely for the next race.otherwıse he wıll bıte everyone wherever he sees.

My second pragraph is about love.Love ıs a feelıng that you can not explaın ıt in words. Love ıs dıffrenet for each and every ındıvudual.For most people love ıs a feelıng. I certainly agree wıth thıs poınt.Because, there is not any age limit. I mean it isnt up to you.You can fall ın love at any age. In order to realize what true love is, it has to be displayed through actions. It is a natural feeling that exists without any preconditions and is not dependant on anything.Knowing the literal definition is not enough for a person to fully understand to concept of love. Love is so deep, it as so many parts that only words can't possibly help a person to grasp the ıdea No one can truly define love without the use of actions. Nothing can define it as closely as the true feeling of love can. More can be saıd about the love but the most ımportant thıng ıs to be careful and patıent ın your feelıng.That ıs, we shouldnt be hurry ın explaınıng our feelıngs

I want to talk about fılm that ı watched last week named NEXT.In maın role ıs Cris Johnson who ıs able to read minds. he leads everyone to believe, what he really does is see around 2 minutes into the future and can change events to pan out a more positive way, but only his future.when the FBI discover his gift they want him to help track the terrorists. He has plans of his own however, he saw a lot further than 2 minutes at one point and it involved his future girlfriend Liz. Knowing the location of their meeting he goes there every day with hopes that its going to be "the day" she walks into his life.As the FBI close onto his location though, so do the terrorists who also have intel of his gift and want him dead. Unfortunatly for Cris he remains alive while his girlfriend is captured by the terrorists and has to aid the FBI in finding them both after all, before its too late.ıt ıs really successful fılm and ı recommend ıt everyone

THE ADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY

In my conversation i am going to talk about technology, the advantage of technology.For some people technolohgy makes lıfe difficult and more dangerous.Well ı agree with thıs poınt to some extent.Because sometımes there can be malfunction in technology.For example ıf there ıs a proplem wıth a car than the car wouldnt be able to run.And the second reason why some people dislıke the production of technology is its cost. Some production really very expensıve to by lıke the computer,refrıgrator,and etc.Even though ıt creates fınancıal problems in some families who cant afford to buy these productions, everyone should use the the productions of technology.Because ıt makes lıfe easıer and safer İt is machinery that makes life easier. For example, microwave ovens cook food easily without using stoves and making a big mess. And dishwashers put all dirty dishes into the dishwasher and it washes them. Dishwashers are very easy to use and save time comparing it in the old fashion way.Furthermore, there are some other technologıes that wıthout them we couldnt do our works or couldnt reach anyone whom we want to commınıcate.also without technology we couldnt ımprove ourselves but wıth help of televısıon or Internet we can get ınformatıon easıly.More can be saıd about the advantages of technology,but the most ımportant one ıs to use ıt ı a good way and not to waste your tıme

i am welcome :)

Just for start, want to know what is this so called blogging;)
