A good Problem-solution essay from Büşra.

                                             Are You a Student or Worker?

Have you ever experienced both working and studying at the same time? If you have not, you are member of the minority. Majority of students have to work and study because of lack of allowance and they do not want to burden on their families. This situation may cause to some problems such as catching pace of life, feeling stressed about carrying out the school tasks and making both the boss and the instructor happy. Of course, there are several solutions to provide better facility for this majority rather than accepting the results of hardship working.

            To begin with, the first solution can be that the quality of universities should be the same in every city. If this can be managed, university students do not have to move another city for education. They can have a chance to live with their families, hence; they may get rid of cost of food, accommodation and transportation.

            Secondly, government should help students having difficulties to afford their fundamental needs. They can give scholarship as well as credit that have to be refunded later when students are graduated and start to make money. Another thing that they can do is providing the less expensive dorms than the other private dorms.

            The last one is that again related to government, they can make available to find job in university for university students. What is more, they can work and gain money safe and sound. Because, it is likely that university students are in trouble when they work in some jobs that they do not know whether workshops are reliable or not.

            In conclusion, like everyone in society, students also have to work and study to meet their basic needs. Luckily, there are some solutions for that such as making same quality of every university, providing scholarship and government can provide opportunity for university students to find job. I think that working and studying at the same is very hard situation for university students. They have already been responsible for school tasks and other important things related to their lives.

Narration from a guest author (:

                                                  CLOUDS

It was 27^th September. I cannot remember the year. She was trying to wake up like every day she does. She snoozed her alarm clock and slept for ten minutes. After the second snooze she finally woke up.  Then she went to toilet and washed her face. When she looked through the mirror she noticed that her face was blooding! It was horrible because she could not see her face because of the blood. She touched her face and cleaned the blood. She finally could see her eyes. When she saw them, she noticed that she forgot the real color of her eyes. Then she left the bathroom and run to the sitting room because there was voice from there. As soon as she arrived there, she saw that the TV was opened and she looked at it. She was shocked! She closed her eyes and reopened again to see clearly, no there were no differences. She did not make a mistake, it was she! She was on the TV and police were searching her. She tried to raise the volume of the TV but she could not. She could just watch herself on TV but with doing anything. She touched her face before looked her hand if bleeding stopped or not. It was decreasing but her heart attack was increasing. She could not understand anything and decided to go to the doctor to show her face but what if police were going to arrest her? Although she did not know anything about her hunting, she was scared. There was nothing to do and she finally decided to leave home and see a doctor.  While she driving, she saw many cabs but she could escape from them. She achieved to arrive. She ascended the stairs and opened the doctor’s door without knocking. Doctor was surprised because it was not allowed to enter without knocking. As soon as he started to shout at her, she cut his speech and told that she had bleeding. The doctor saw what she said and told his patient that he should leave for few minutes. He examined her and wanted some examinations. She waited for hours and everything culminated. The doctor called her and said to her to sit. He started his speech;

-Have you ever talked with yourself?

-Are you kidding? She replied, I was thinking that I am here for examination!

-You should calm down, I am a doctor and also your doctor you should just answer my question, have you ever tried to touch yourself? Do you really care yourself? You are here because there was something wrong with your body and you thought that if you had not gone to doctor, you would have died. So you scared to die.

-A…Uuuh..Well…I cannot reply you doctor, I cannot.

-If you are really afraid of death, I think you are, it means that you love living and do not want to leave. But if you really do, you should have already answered my questions. You hushed yourself… Let’s get back to the examinations. There is no problem. You just ignore yourself and it is mad at you. That is all. Bleeding is just your body’s reaction. It tries to say something. I will give you a prescription. Try to do it.

He elongated the prescription and there is just a word that written on it;

“LISTEN.”

She drove home. She thought all along the road. When she arrived home she immediately opened the TV and looked for her news but there was not anything about her.

She went to her bed and slept. The day after, she wanted to go to the doctor again, she had many questions. They had really long conversation and she realized that because of her hunger of seeing herself, she just imagined that she was on the TV. The bleeding is just about her eyes, she looked her eyes after a long period and her body wanted to tell her something. That was all. She was relaxed now and after these experiences she started to be more sensitive to herself. There was long and perfect way which is waiting for her. When she realized that, she could start to walk. Clouds the rest...

  By the way, I guess you have been wondering about the information of ‘her’. Maybe you thought that I forgot to give her a name or I forgot to start. No, I did not. Of course she has a name but I do not know her name because I do not know your name. What is your name?

GLOBALIZATION LINKS WITH LANGUAGE

     Throughout history, people are eager to move around the countries. Some situations such as job opportunitiews and financial problems, promp them to migration. In that way, one word, which can be known as ‘globalization’, comes to our minds. If we think about old times, becoming globarized is noy very common for people and countries. But in today’s world, it plays an essential role in human’s lives. There are some causes which have a close with globalization. We can accept the job opportunities and financial issues as two of the most crucial issues. According to these, globalization can be thought as being important for people. On the otherr hand, there are two crucial effects, which can be associated with decreasing employment and icreasing trade. These effects are also link with language. At first let’s look at globalization’s causes.

    Since the old times, people tries to find job and becoming a good positions. Well*paid jobs are one step up instead of other, because people needs to money and it requires labour. When we talk about well paid jobs and also job opportunities, immediately globalization appears. Thanks to it, people can move from their own countries to another one and find a job easily. They bring their language and culture with them and owner of the businesses always prefers to take them to their own companies. Secondly, one of the other crucial cause is about financial issues. Owingto these, countries can develop their economies. For instance people who visit other countries, improve these countries economies.  As we know tourist always tend to buy special things from the countries which they visit so intentionally or not they contribute them. Namely, globalization is very important for these two issues. On the other hand it has two effects which can be accepted as  decreasing employment and icreasing trade. Let’s look at both of them.

     Nowadays, employment is very essential for many people. They are afraid of being unemployed. Although they graduate from university, there are many people who cannot benefit from job chances. So finding a job is playing a big role for everyone. Thanks to globalization, people can find job just with using their cultural effects and languages. In that way, globalization can decrease the rate of worklessness. In addition to this, it also increases the chance which is about trade. Owing to it, different cultures can make a connection with each other and this situation develops their relationships and economies. As we know,  Globalization not only helps people get on well but also pull through countries’economies.

    Consequently,  globalization has two essential causes and effects. It also relevent with language. As we can see, globalization has an important role in our lives.  People also can have more chances to find a job in the different countries.  Owing to globalization, people  can interract with each other easily.

                                       Children and The Electronic Age

     Humans have been around for millions of years. This process of being has brought a new era. People have developed themselves gradually and have wanted more. Now, in 21st century, we are living in era which is called ' Electronic Age '. Although it seems like good, electronic age can be problematic for children. The causes of electronic age are ‘asking for more’ and ‘adapt to the times’ and also there are some effects.

     People are trying to keep up with the time. That’s why, no body want to fossilize. The time passes quickly and continues to change rapidly like technology. Our grandparents and great grandparents grew up in a much different technological time. If you talk with one of your relatives about old times, s/he will probably say that new generation is luckier than their generation and there were no computer, television, mobile phone when they were young. When we look at today, there are high-speed computers, latest model mobile phones, televisions and more. Children are growing up in this way. Another cause is asking for more every time. For instance, a child with a phone, s/he starting to get bored so wants a new phone. Although he has a desk top, he wants a lap top. As soon as, he gets what he wants, he wants a new one which is made with high-technology. That’s why, production is gaining momentum every day. This situation leads to change rapidly. In these supply-demand relationship, it is difficult to keep the children away from electronic tools and technology. Having looked at the causes of electronic age on children the affect can be given as ‘physical and psychological disorders’

     Children, growing up in this electronic age face some serious problems. The increase in the use of television, computer and computer games has become main reason of electromagnetic radiation exposure. According to research, children absorb 3 times more radiation than adults. Furthermore, it affects children’s quality of sleep, memory and process of learning badly. Also, because of electronic tools, there has been decrease in the number of children who read books. In addition, a child who is watching TV more than 3 hours a day, experiencing serious health problem such as; obesity. That’s why watching TV is related to inactivity. In the face of great technology, childhood illnesses are changing. Diseases based on technology can be listed as follows; asthma, allergies, hyperactivity, mental illness, gastrointestinal diseases and like that.

     To sum up, electronic age is still present and people will continue to live with that so it will continue to affect children in serious. The effects of electronic age on children should be kept in mind before meeting children with electronic tools
