Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing.
Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


Many people have been debating whether or not should sometimes do things they do not enjoy doing. Some people
think they never should do things they not enjoy doings, however
others think we should do things even if we do not like to do it. In some situation you have to do something even if you are not enjoy doings.

First of all I want to draw your attention to is in many situations people find themselves between two or more options and they have to choose between them and they actually do not like any of these options, as example, I have been in a company for three years and really I do not like this job at all and everyday I have look at newspaper and try to find new post. I have no options either I left this job or I pursue in this post until I have a proper job. As you can see I do not enjoy in this job but I have to do it.

Second, sometimes we enjoy think but actually this thing is not the best things. people should do optimum thing not only the thing they enjoy to do it. For example my brother has 18 years old and he is now preparing for secondary school test. He is never enjoy
studying and he always enjoy to go outside and visits his friends.
My father always tell him do not do that just prepare well for your exam; it seems to me that if my brother only do enjoyable things for him he will lost his future. So he has to do the good things not only the enjoyable thing for him.

In conclusion, People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing for many reasons , first of all sometimes we do not have many options and we dont have our optimum option in our hand. second, sometimes our enjoyable option not the optimum one.

PostSubject: Independent writing- Task2   Fri May 29, 2009 8:50 pm

I disagree with the statement that people should do tasks that they do not enjoy.

Each individual is unique in character and has unique tastes and choices. Generally it has been proven that a person can excel in a task only if he/she enjoys what he/she is doing. Forcing someone to do something that they do not enjoy will not only result in poor outcome of task but will also eliminate the fun involved in doing it.

Another reason why people should not do the tasks that they do not enjoy is because it can have a positive impact on their behaviour. They will know to stand up for themselves and believe in what they do. They will know how to say "no" to things they dont like and not just do it for the sake of others inspite of them disliking it.

I have a personal experience to support this argument. I do not enjoy drinking alcohol and I have been in situations where people have tried to force me into drinking alcohol. Since I do not like doing it, I have stood up for myself and believed in myself which makes me proud of what I am today.

In conclusion, I strongly emphasize that people should never do things that they do not enjoy doing

I agree with that people should sometimes do things they do not enjoy. Living in an urban society with it's strict obligations and rules sometimes forces people to do things they don't like. I bieleve people should give up some fun inorder to achieve some good living conditions.

That choice has many aspects. One of them is the financial aspect. As people may be forced to maintain a job they don't enjoy much only because it's salairy is good. People also may stay most of their time working away from having fun and enjoying their time. People have some responsiblities towards thier families for example. These reponsibilties would propably acquire funding like kids going to school.
Another aspect is the social aspect. People don't live alone by themselves but they live within a society. Such a society may have some rules or obligations that people are indirectly forced to do. For example, In most of the eastern societies girls cannot return home late in the night, even tought they couldn't be doing something wrong. Also there are some actions that aren't publicly acceptable in some societies such as males having tall hair or wearing shorts in some easteren society.
What i meant to say is that people could be free but still have some things to do to maintain their position in society and to respect it's believes and culture.

PostSubject: The college years are the best time in a person’s life.   Tue Jul 21, 2009 2:43 pm

Although some people complain over the college years, I strongly agree that the college years are the best time in a person's life. After finishing the college, lives of people start to change. For instance, having great friendships, having no life responsibilities such as earning money, caring children are the most important supporters of my argument.
First of all, people generally need to find a job to earn money, after the college finished. It is a new responsibility for people who never experienced a job before. In college years, the only responsibility of a student is to pass the exams successfully. According to my experience, it was very easy, because I had much free time to prepare for the exams. However, I have to work a lot to earn money nowadays. Many of my family members think that after beginning to earn money, a family should come secondly. This statement is probably same for a lot of people living in my country. Then, most of the people will probably have a child. This is harder than to be in a college since the additional responsibility for another person begins to take place.
Secondly, I was proud to be in a college due to having great friendships. For example, I had a friend, John, who is the man I spent three years to live with. We shared the same room at dormitory. Hence, we ate same meals and we went to same places to have fun. All these activities lifted our friendship above. Unfortunately, I cannot contact with my dear friend now, because I do not have enough time to hang out with friends.
In conclusion, the college years were the amazing times for me. I never had an experience like those years. The more the time passes, the more responsibilities dramatically cover the people's life, which makes the rest of life more boring than it was in college times. After living these situations, I defend that the best times of my life ended years ago, while I was graduating from college.

PostSubject: Describe an event from your country’s history, and explain w   Tue Jul 21, 2009 2:45 pm

Republic of Turkey has a huge historical background to discuss. It can be considered as a continuation of the Ottoman Empire. The most important event in the past about the Republic of Turkey is the military takeover at 1980. Its importance comes from the military takeover’s effect on economy and political future of the country.


Firstly, one of the major effects of military takeover is on the economical situations of citizens. After the government changed, generals restricted the people to go outside. Streets became empty and local trade nearly stopped. Thus, economic problems begin to take place mostly in cities. For instance, markets selling personal care stuffs lost their profits. Because, nobody cares personal health when a military takeover occurs, because going outside is prohibited. In short, economic problems of people were the first result of military takeover.


Secondly, the other effect of military takeover is on the political future of the country. After the administration of country changed, politicians were sent to jails to prevent their supporters to rebel. Generals were in the power until a new election starts. It took 20 years to set up the election. Therefore, political problems had occurred. For instance, generals didn’t know how to improve relations with the other countries from all over the world. Thus, relations of Turkey with the other countries couldn’t go very well. If the real politicians took place instead of soldiers, relations of the countries would be better. To sum up, political adventure of Turkey has been affected badly from military takeover.


In conclusion, military takeover, done in 1980, has an important place in Turkey’s history. It had effects both on economical welfare of the citizens and political situations of the country. People lived economical problems during the time of soldier’s interruption. Moreover, political background of the country started to change in response to military administration.
