DAYS AT SCHOOL Whenever i remember those days at school especially elementary school i remember bad memories mostly.We were so afraid of our teachers.They were so strict and set some tough and unbelievable rules for the class.Class and school were just for studying . There were no other relations between students and teachers.Besides teachers ,principals and principals assistants were so tough too .I remember sometimes i was afraid of passing them let alone saying HELLO. I do not know why the educational system was like this . You just had to go to school and keep silent in the class and just listen to the teacher. Sometimes we were afraid to ask about our misunderstandings.Teacher shouted " where is your attention". He shouted and students got ashamed. Another bad thing is they used to comparing students with each other in order to encourage them to study more but they did not know it was a good way to hurt their students.But now it has gotten so different .Students and teachers have friendly relations with each other .Students feel relaxed and comfortable at school and they are not afraid of going there and school is really their second house. What do u think? Do you agree or disagree? I am willing to read your comments and corrections.

FRIENDSHIP IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP IN LIFE i believe friendships are important but not the most . we have some other relations in our life for example relations with our mother , father, wife , husband ,.....but i believe friendships are the most lovely ones.we feel more relaxed in a circle of friends. we tell our friends the darkest and deepest secrets.sometimes we need to be away from our family and our friends give us this time.our friends put themselves in our shoes simply because we are of the same generations. we have the same desires and feelings.we have the same point of views. so we can help each other more than others.but besides all these bright sides we should be very careful about finding our friends.every one is not worth being friends with .for me honesty is the most important point.and then trustworthiness.one important thing that we should consider in our relations is not sharing all secrets with our friends.we can tell our friends our secrets but not every secret.

MONEY IS THE KEY TO EVERY DOOR I do not see eye to eye with this sentence . Actually these days most people think money is the significant part of their life . They just look for ways that they can make money through these ways.I know money is good .Money talks . We need it but we can not have every thing by our money . There are some other important things that we need them in our life . For example good health , friendly relations , happiness , etc . Maybe i have lots of money but my family is broken . I am not relaxed at home .My children do not respect me. They just love my money not me .Or i have money but i suffer from a sickness . By my money i can go to different and expensive doctors to cure my illness but i can not change my destiny . Maybe my destiny is dying through this sickness ,so how i can change it by my money . I believe it is not important how much money i have . First it is important how i use the amount of money that i have and then having happiness and enjoying my life should be important for me . When i see my family members are healthy , we are together and we are happy, that is enough for me . Money is achievable and finally it comes, more or less. What do u think?

WHY LEARNING ENGLISH Actually i did not think about learning another language . I Thought i did not need any other language . But after taking a tripe to MALAYSIA i decided to start learning English . You do not know how much difficulty i had to make myself understood . When i went shopping i could not ask for prices or i could not ask the sales men to give me what i meant . I just used some simple words that i learned at school .One day i took a taxi but because i had not tell the taxi driver my destination properly i got lost . It took me a long time to find my hotel and i was really frightened . After coming back from my tripe the only thing that i did was registering in an English institute . And now i am really interested in it and every day i get more motivation to continue my way .
