You didn't realize that I loved you
One day you will realize
Unforgettable days and hours
Anybody could see my love except you
Remember, I was always with you
Even you were with her
Between love and hate I was
Envying your love to her
Accustomed to live without you
Understood thet I would never be with you
Took eveything that I had and gone
Instantly I learned you searched for me
Finally you're aware of my love
Unable to reach me, cause I'm no longer fall in love with you
Love teaches me how I'll live without you

'IMAGINE' BY SÜMEYYE GÜNDÜZ


Imagine there's no people
It's unbearable if you only live

No happiness below us
Above us only darkness
Imagine all the people 

Leaving one by one


Imagine there's no people
It isn't hard to think
Nothing to say or do
And no remedy too
Imagine all the people

Leaving one by one



You, you may say  I'm a pessimistic

But I'm not the only one

I hope some day you'll find someone to talk
And the world will be livable for you

Imagine no future you have
Just live if you can
No need for love or hope
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people

Leaving one by one



You, you may say I'm a pessimistic

But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll find someone to talk

And the world will be livable for you

EXERCISES ON PARALLELISM

-Our beagle loves to hunt. When someone opens the back door for her, she barrels down porch steps into the yard. Then she runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy.  Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells. These are smells of cats, rabbit smells, and other presences which are too subtle for human detection.  She sniffs and spins her tail in quick circles.  First it spins clockwise, then it spins counterclockwise.  These two activities  sniffing and spinning which seem to propel her along always occur together.

-Few people know about The Government Printing Office, source of much useful information, in Washington D.C. It is the official publishing house for the federal government. The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subjects which range from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms.  About 27,000 publications are offered through the Superintendent of Documents.  Many of them are inexpensive. Even there is no charge at all for some of them.

-John Jacob Astor was a  German immigrant who reaped America’s first fortune. He made his initial money by trading Indian furs.  He was lowborn, uneducated, and never learned to speak English properly.  However, he carried on his business to the end in an accent which was redolent of the Hamburg gutters.
