TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND CAUSES
A signification number of cases happen due to the fact that drivers break the traffic rules. For example, a lot of drives drive too close to the front cars. Also some drivers turn vehicles to another lane improperly. For the extreme cases, some drivers participate in car racing illegally or drink driving. Moreover, many passengers ignore the safety rule and refuse to wear seat belts. In case of accident, they can’t be protected and probably get wounded or even die. Pedestrians are also responsible for the signification number of accident cases. Many people cross a road illegally and dangerously such as crossing the road without any crossing facilities or crossing signal. They ignore the safety rules for convenience. It is probably that pedestrians suffer form injure or death in case that they break the traffic rules because the traffic in Turkey is very busy. The traffic flow is very high. Many cars are traveling on the road anytime. It is dangerous for pedestrians to cross a road without using any safety facilities. Many pedestrians are not conscious the importance of road safety and the consequences of breaking traffic rules.
Why do people ignore important traffic laws that cause devastating car accidents? This is an important question because we need to know reasons of people ignorances,so we can take the precautions.The reason is not clear,but most of the accidents happen because of people’s listening loud music ,changing clothes,eating,making up and talking on the cell phone in the car.These can cause a major traffic accident .we can add to these many countless reason like speed ,rainy weather etc… Whatever reason people break traffic laws, when such recklessness causes a car accident, innocent people can suffer.
Another reason is ignorance of traffic rules.This is the most important reason of traffic rules.Especially;passing at the red line.Because of this ignorance many pedestrians die.At this point,drivers and pedestrians need to be careful or else the resulf of this can be catastrophic for both side.Despite all these according to authorizeds most of the accidents happen because of the drivers.If we wants to give an example to this we can say that falling sleep while driving the car.This kind of accidents mostly happen at the time of Ramazan Feast and Sacrifice Feast.At these times,people make long travels to visit their familys because of these long travels they get tired and on the way they sleep while they are driving.They can have a rest but some of the drivers not doing this because of their this ignorance accidents happen and not only them but also pedestrians die.
In conclusion,ın Turkey many accidents happen so we need to be careful while diriving and we should obey the traffic rules.Moreover; we can give information about traffic rules and we can to emphasize the importance of obeying traffic laws to reduce traffic crashes, injuries and death.Another way to reduce traffic accident is to increase penalty. If drivers follow the traffic guidance strictly, the number of cases is likely to reduce. Citizens can help enforce traffic laws. Fasten your seat belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.

LEARNING ENGLISH (CLASSIFICATION ESSAY)
When you compare with the others ,it’s grammar is more important than them because if you want to learn this language, firstly; you must know how to make sentences and the rules of this language .For the beginners it will be difficult to learn all the rules of English because there are many rules but l think most important rule is verbs.While using the verbs you must be careful about it’s tense because verb’s writing and reading is changing according to the time that you use the verb, so you need to memorize these verbs.The other rules are easy to learn.
After you learn the grammar of English you should start to memorize the words because you will need the words to make good sentences and without words it will be imposible.Everybody must learn new words and you should make sentences with these words because it will be easy to memorize them ,while doing that you can encounter with a problem ‘’Forgetting what you learnt ‘’ l mean you will learn words every day and you would have learnt so many words that while learning new ones ,you will start to forget the ones that you learnt.With speaking we can solve this problem.
There is a saying ‘’ A language lives as long as you speak it’’ so if you don’t want to forget what you learnt ,the best way is practise it with speaking ,but while doing that you can also have problem because you can be learning this language in a country that English is not spoken as a main language.However; you can use internet to communicate with people or you can go to the touristic places where foreign people come and you can speak with them.These will help you.
ln conlusion,English is a widely spoken language and people are trying to learn English for better life but it is not that easy to learn English.Therefore; you need to know the basic parts of English.I mean grammar,vocabulary and speaking.After you had a good vocabulary and grammar it will be easy for you being an English speaker.
SMOKING BAN IN TURKEY
In Turkey many people start smoking at very early ages and their number is getting higher and higher.Something had to be done and at last government ,with a law ,banned smoking in enclosed public places.According to this law people who light up cigarette in those places will face penalties of 69 Turkish liras.Smoking ban is stil in effect ,so what do you think about this law?I believe that nonsmokers also have a right to breathe clean air.
In my opinion ,people must care the rights of other people because nobody has got any right to disturb other people .Moreover;we are giving harm to them .As you know,in an enclosed place ,nonsmokers are affected more than smokers are .It is very harmful and I think ıt should be banned even at open air places because people see them while smoking and they get affected by them .
Smoking is not good for our health ,either.At first ,we can’t notice the harmful affects of smoking but as the time passes we start to have health problems.For example ;my grandfather died because of cigarette .When he died ,he was 60 years old .I mean you can die at an early age or
you can lose your arm or leg and to stop all these I support this law.
Another reason is economical .People pay large amount of money to buy a package of cigarette.Furthermore;cigarette is giving them nothing instead it gives them harm and it is like ,you are paying money for something to kill yourself slowly .When people are aware of that it is being too late to change everything ,but I am hopeful about our future.Despite all these ,ıt is a shame to see some people who are against this law. They are against this law because they are just thinking of their economical profit .
In conclusion ,I think that smoking ban ın Turkey should continue until satisfactory results are taken .Legal options that we have now are not enough because ıt is possible to see people smoking in enclosed smoking areas,so we must understand someting if we want a good life ;we must be strict about this law.
