Having a Break After Graduations


In today’s world everybody tries to earn money with the easiest and earliest way. They start to think how they earn money while studying at university. In the other hand some people prefer to enjoy what they do and do not want to think about money. They are just living what life gives them. There are some reasons which make them think like that. These people generally prefer to go off for travels for a year before getting the job after college graduates. Being tired, different cultures and being out of routines can be the reasons.
Firstly, people who graduated from college may have many problems while studying. At least they are thinking about their exams and graduations while studying and it makes them tired. So if they give a chance for themselves they can spend a year with enjoyable things and they can forget about what they suffer while they are student.
Secondly, when a person goes off for the travels, he can see different cultures and he can use his experiences after turn back his hometown for working. He can also be selected by employers because of his different experiences. For employers a person who knows different cultures is a chance. As a result when you decide to go off for the travels it can also helps you to be selected by employers.
Lastly, sometimes everybody wants to be out of routines. Travelling after college graduate is a chance to get rid of busyness. Everybody deserves a break for at least a year. They can spend their time for themselves and do whatever they want.
 In conclusion, everybody has chance to decide how to spend their time after their graduations. They can either start to work immediately or give a break for a year to enjoy. It is your choice what to do but there is one thing which should be remembered; if you forget to give breaks, breaks will forget you, too.

Optimism


In today’s world there are many problems with which we have to be faced. While some people have challenges in their career, other may have in their private life. Although the problems which we have, we should put a good show. Somebody can achieve it. They change their bad opinions with saying; if it happened, it means that it should have happened and this thinking style called optimism. In Longman’s dictionary optimism explained as followed: ‘’a tendency to believe that good things will always happen’’. We can look over optimism with some points which are its reasons, its results.
Firstly, as I mentioned, there are many issues we have to get over but in the same time we should seize the moment and live without remembering these problems. Optimism works in this situation. If you want to forget about negativities and continue enjoying optimism helps you. Secondly, when you are in a bad condition it says that this situation will disappear and you will gain something from what you lived. There is a character which is created in 1913 by Eleanor H. Porter and called Pollyanna. Pollyanna is a very important example about optimism. When a person thinks of goodness very much, others generally say that do not be Pollyanna.
There are also some results of optimism. To begin with, a person who is optimistic forgets about bad things and always focuses on goodness. So, he does not struggle with negativity. He is just interested in good things in his way. As a second one, when we look kindness, we start to make everything be good. For instance, while some people hate rain because of being wet, optimistic people enjoy with raindrops and at the end of the rainy day, optimistic people will gain something thanks to their thinking style. Lastly, thinking goodness calls good things in every situation. Generally, these people do not have to be faced with problems, in other words they do not see badness because they do not look this side.
To sum up, there are many reasons and results of optimism. They seem satisfied, it is your choosing how to live and think but everybody should remember that thinking creates our life and destiny. Now, you have a selection to change your destiny, make your choice.

Types of Teachers


Teachers have been always very important for human beings. Their duty is very big because they are responsible from children and children are our future. Like everybody can be, teachers also can be different from each other. If we want to classify them, we can see three types of teacher.
 The first type is, authoritarian teachers. They are very hard to change, they apply discipline more than it requires. Besides, they always want their students to obey them, otherwise they punish with very hard punishments. They are always alone while giving courses and they want to continue it alone, too. In opposition to they should do, they do not allow their students to share their ideas. As you can imagine, in this type of teachers’ lessons students cannot be successful because they generally do not like their lessons.
The second type is, unconcerned teachers who actually do not like their job so they are not interested in their students. They are neither hard nor supporter for their students. They do not expect responsibility from the students and they also do not try to make them responsible. They usually do not have any aims and they show it to their students that’s why their students fell free and empty. Students who are taught by these teachers, cannot focus on their lessons so they cannot be successful.
The last type is, tolerant teachers that work with a big pleasure because they love what they do.  This type of teachers knows their students well. If their students do something which requires glory, they bless them. They can accept criticisms and they give importance on what their students think and say. They are also very good guides; additionally they have aims and plans so their students know what to do, too. They prepare their lessons with students and always trust and support them. They do not punish, if they really do not need to. In addition they are always objective. We can guess their students that love their lessons and teachers so they can success everything which are expected.
In conclusion, as I mentioned there are three types of teachers. We can see all of them in the same school because people are different. Types can differ from person to person but we can understand that teachers’ behaviours are effective on their students.

Causes of European Union and Its Possible Effects on the Participant Countries


Nowadays in our world, power is very important for countries. When we look for the power among countries, European Union which was found in 1992 takes our attention. European Union’s population includes 500 million people. EU has a really big role on politics but of course there are some causes for EU’s being. EU also affects countries in some ways.
  The first cause for foundation of EU is people’s wishes about being settled population. After crusade their prospects increased suddenly. They thought that if they can be settled population their health treatment can be done easily and they expected some financial sources and they decided to be organized. The second cause is gathering the power in one hand. If the power is summed in one hand, the countries which are the member of EU can manage not only their own country but also other countries. Finally, the last cause is; countries thought that if they come together, think and take some decisions together things would shape up in a better way and easily with the strength of the saying: “union makes strength”. 
  Just like the many reasons for its foundation, EU has some possible effects on countries. The first affect is; countries which are the members of EU can make comments about the internal affairs of the other countries. For example one country has a problem which seems like an international issue they immediately amalgamate and want from this country to do something. The second possible effect is the countries may have adaptation problems. For instance, as everybody knows that Turkiye has been trying to be a member of EU, however when the government wants to change and adapt something through EU, most of Turkish people is starting to be against of being member of EU. Joining EU is still discussed in Turkiye. The last effect is, as I mentioned before union makes strength and as we know that sharing ideas is very important, so the countries which are in EU can share their ideas and move through it. As a result; possibility of making mistake is decreasing for the members of EU.
To conclude, there are many causes and possible affects on some countries weather we know all the causes and effects of EU, it seems that big discussions about EU will never end because difference between different people’s ideas will always exist. But there is a one common thought that, EU can always affect either our social or our private life.
