There are two places that are very important in my life.One is Mersin where I was born and I grow up the other is Denizli where I came for my education and I will spend the rest of my time. Both places are sometimes different from each other and sometimes they are in common in some ways. However; both of them play an important role in my life
I want to begin with differences between Denizli and Mersin . Mersin has an edge to sea however; Denizli doesnt.This is the most important point that makes me miss Mersin when I am in Denizli. Because I like sea very much. Even I feel bored or lonely, I immediately go to seaside and I come to myself. It is very relaxing. The second is that Mersin is bigger than Denizli in terms of population or places that you can spend the leisure time. In Mersin there are many touristic places that draw people's attention. For example: Kız Kalesi, Cennet Cehennnem, Eshab-ı Keyf. However; when we look at Denizli, we see that Denizli's touristic places are limited.
Another differnce between Denizli and Mersin is climate. In summer Denizli has dry hot and ıt burns you.However; Mersin has humidity and ıt affects the degree of the hot. When I am in Denizli, The summer bothers me and I can not put up with. May be I am accustomed to mersin..
The other difference is the variety of people. Mersin has many people from everwhere. From Diyarbakır, From Kars but denizli hasnt variety of people like Mersin. There are many people who immigrate Mersin and ıt leads to this variety. Thats why the crime rate is higher than Denizli. Denizli is a safe city. You are comfortable when you walk in the street but İn Mersin This situation changes.
There are many similiraties like differences. When I came to Denizli, I noticed firstly, that the city's people is quite nice and helpful. One day, I asked a man who was in the street that how to go the bus garage. He didnt answer me. Instead of replying, he came with me and showed me the garage. Since that time, I love people of Denizli.Like that, Mersin's people is also very helpful and frankly.
To sum up, there are many things which are good or bad, differnces or similarities.However;Everything that I mention about can add a colour these cities.Finally, If you ask me which city is more likable, I choose Mersin. It is my love forever...

Cosby Park (SAMPLE ESSAY)
Cosby Park
The Great Smoky Mountains is one of the most famous parks in the United States. The park is known for its beautiful mountains and streams, clean air, and frequent rain. My local part of the park is Cosby, located in the Great Smoky Mountains eighty-two miles west of the East Tennessee State University campus (www.nps.gov.grsm.prcoscg.htm). The park is a wonderful, activity-filled stop for any student wanting to get away for a few days.
The drive to Cosby passes by quickly because of all the interesting sites along the way. For example, Newport is home of the Thai Kitchen which has the best food I have ever tasted for only about $8.00 per person. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes such as chicken fried rice, spicy chicken basil fried rice, beef and broccoli and the excellent appetizers of egg rolls and crispy wontons. After stopping for dinner at the Thai Kitchen, you can travel 11 miles west to the Kyle Carver Orchard. The Kyle Carver Orchard was established in 1942 and spreads for over 75 acres. The orchard is known for its fresh cider and delicious apple pies that are fresh baked throughout the day (Heritage Tour 1). After eating your dessert at the Kyle Carver Orchard, you can travel the remaining seven miles to the park.
Cosby is nestled in a prime spot located thirty minutes from Douglas Lake, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Dollywood. The park has a large picnic area that is known for its frequent visits by the bears that love to snack on the tourists' picnic lunches. The park also offers year-around camping with a special camping area designated for those people with horses. The park has 175 camping sites, so the camping areas are very plentiful for any student wanting to camp for a few days (www.nps.gov/grsm/prcoscg.htm).
Personally, my favorite things about the park are its hiking trails, the Low Gap and Appalachian Trails. The Low Gap hiking trail passes through the freezing Cosby Creek and continues along a beautiful scenic path. The paths are for hikers of any age because of their moderate trail grade. The paths host a variety of unusual flora and fauna including deer, snakes, and bears. In fact, I have never been on the trail without seeing a snake slithering along its path swimming in the creek.
My favorite attraction along the Low Gap Trail is the natural spring that is piped down from the mountains. Many tourists carry cups along this trail, so they can drink the fresh water bubbling directly from the earth (Heritage Tour 1). While walking the trails, a hiker needs to take along hiking boots, long pants, a raincoat, and a cup. These items are necessary for any hiker's protection and comfort in the wilderness.
After finishing the hike, campers can return to their campsite where they can roast marshmallows and enjoy the animal sounds of the surrounding forest. I would only plan to camp for a few days because of the poor conditions of the outdated restrooms. These restrooms do not have showers, electricity, flushable toilets, or any other modern day conveniences, but the beautiful foliage, hiking, and rafting still make Cosby a worthwhile site to spend a weekend.
After having a good night's sleep, a camper can wake up and put on their bathing suit and get ready for an adventure. The campers' adventure begins by walking down to the Cosby Creek to an area known as the Night Hole for its ice cold water that the sun supposedly never shines upon. Here, the water is about 12 feet deep and the pools make a great place for rock jumping. Each warm day in Cosby, you can find several groups of tourist waiting their turn to jump off the rock of their choice into the freezing water. The water is a thrilling shock after the long, hot hike to the pools. While rock jumping, a tourist needs to bring along an old pair of shoes because the rocks are sharp along the bottom of the creek bed, but this small discomfort is definitely worth the thrill. Next, a tourist should continue their adventure by making a stop at the Pigeon River Rafting Company located sixteen miles east of the park. The Pigeon River Rafting Company is a new company recently established in 1998. Here, a tourist can enjoy a three-mile rafting trip with several exciting class three and four rapids. For the more inexperienced rafter, the company provides a lazy river ride for children and the elderly where very little paddling is involved. Prices range from $15 to $40 depending on the group number and type of trip taken .
Cosby is an ideal travel location for any student wanting to escape the pressures of college for a weekend. The trip is not very expensive and has various activities such as swimming, camping, and hiking that any student would enjoy.

ARE YOU SURE TO MARRY SOMEONE FROM OTHER CULTURE?( OPINION ESSAY)
Nowadays,ıt is a popular event to marry someone from dıfferent natıon.This habit is becoming common in Turkey.In the past,people approached this task negatıvely.However;the world is changing and opinions are also changing.Once time we did not belive Galileo who came up with a opınıon that the world was turnıng.However ;now,we are not surprısed when ıt is said that a holiday in the moon will come to real.Like that,marrying someone from another culture doesnt make us feel peculiar.We feel that it is a usual experience. According to me,it is exactly wrong owing to the some reasons..
Even when you go abroad as a tourıst, everythıng is strange to you, habit of eating and talking, custom of their life,all things..You think that you can marry someone from another culture which includes these differencies.The man whom you are marrying,from other culture,has been grow up ın thıs culture and also his character is shaped by according to his tradition and his nation's life-style.No matter what he does,he is certainly influenced by his culture.According to place where he lives,he sits,talks,eats and the most important is that he thinks.In this point,I can say that manny marriages are ending up firstly because of opposite ideas in the world.Couples think and act differently from each other.If it is so,debating and discussing will be inevitable and soon, the divorce will also be indispensable ..
There are many reasons like that for example language.You learn that his language but you do not learn and understand what he means exactly everytime.Another reason is religious.The man may be christian and you may be a muslim.In the first times,both are very kind and tactful.In the house, there is a democratic atmosphere but later,one of coupless(husband or wife) trys to be loved his or her own religion. Another reason is national identity..You are Turkish and your husband is a German. Even in a match between these countrıes, a debate can break out..
Some supporter of this idea that marrying someone from another culture is right, think that all these problems can be solved ıf couples love eachother but love is limited and the most important thing is logic..
Briefly marrying is difficult experience and marriying someone from different culture or nation is more difficult than the usual marrıages. You thınk that thousand times before such kind of marriages.. You should not thınk only one perspective.,you should act according to both your heart and your logic...
