1. IDENTITY / NAMES / PROFILE PHOTOS / MEMORABLE OBJECTS

First of all I want to explain what is identity. Identity is the fact of being who or what . Identity
information includes personal details, such as: your name,surname,home adress,date of birth and
also information about your family members . For example about my Identity:
my name is Aytac,surname is Aliyeva ,My date of birth is the 13th of december in 2002.
My mother`s name,surname ,and father`s name is Elnara Rejabova ,Yagub.My father`s
name,surname ,and father`s name is Rauf Aliyev Allahqulu. The place where I live is Sumgait ,
THE first microdistrict, building 45d, apartment 130
My name is Aytaj, from my perspective Aytaj isn`t an unusual name in azerbaijan.
But for the people living in Turkey calling a girl with this name sounds unusual
because,they give this name to boys
Actually,I like my name. My name was given by my uncle.That`s why I am proud of this situation.
I use wo social media application : Watsap and instagram. I don`t use my own picture in profile
photo of instagram. But in watsap, I do. In instagram I use sometimes the photo of nature, the photo
of my lovely things. For example:the photo of earphone. It is such an favorite thing for me. That`s
why I put it in my profile photo.
Finally,I have to speak about memorable object. The most memorable thing is my teddy bear.
She is not big,also not so little. I gave her a name too) Yes , her name is Zehra. In future, I will give
this name to my baby too) I don`t know why, but t I am relaxed when I hear this name.
My teddy bear is white and has a scarf . unfortunately, I can`t show her to you now. Because, I am
in Baku. I miss her here,because I always hug and sleep with her every night.

2.DREAM JOBS / WORKING WITH DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS

When I was younger I believed that I could be anyone and do anything. But as I grew
older , I began to realize that my dreams of becoming a superhero, astronaut were
never going to become a reality. Unfortunately, as an adult I have to be more realistic
about how I am going to spend the rest of my life.
At secondary school I wanted to be an english translater or english teacher. Because,
my favorite subject is English. But,I didnt like the subject of history, and could be
neither an english translater nor an english teacher.
Today,I know what I am. I am an engeneer, and I love my job, because I learn my job
in english language. It motivates me.

I like to work with children. I think, it is because my mother works in the kindergarten,I go there
very often and play with children a lot . I like playing with them.For me İt seems like an island of
children without problems,care and responsible life.
3. EDUCATION AND ITS STAGES / LEARNING ENGLISH / USE OF INTERNET IN
EDUCATION / STUDENT EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
First of all we start our educational life by going to kindergarten. Here we get
basic knowledge. Later we continue our education in primary school. After the
primary school we go to secondary school ,and it is followed by high school
where we prepare ourselves for university by gaining more knowledge. In many
parts of the world education is compulsory up to a certain age. Students are
taught English language as an international language at schools.
The use of the internet in education is important,especially in these days.
Because it contains a great range of knowledge that can be searched at any time.
The internet improves the quality of education. You can download a pdf of any
book or read it online. Students can easily find quality educational materials on
internet for free. For example on youtube you can find many useful videos on a
topic which you don’t understand.
What about student exchange programs? Student exchange programs provide
students with an opportunity to study in different countries. Becoming a
foreign exchange student requires some research. Student should find right
exchange program ,location and host family that suits her. Exchange students
live with a host family. Student exchange programs help students to improve
their language skills and learn other cultures.
4. DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE / LEARNING DIFFERENT SKILLS /
SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE
For this speech, I’ve searched about the types of intelligence: There are 8 types
of intelligence, for instance, logical, linguistic, and musical intelligence, etc.

1.Logical intelligence-if you are good with numbers such as mathematical

operations and arithmetic problems; if you enjoy playing logic and strategy
games; if you enjoy the challenge of mysteries and solving puzzles, then you
are logically an intelligent person.
2.Linguistic Intelligence- if you have a rich vocabulary, and you know what
words to use, and how and when to use them, you have high linguistic
intelligence.
3. Musical intelligence-You have high musical intelligence if
you are highly sensitive to even the smallest sound so that you can hear sounds
that others miss or you are comfortable with music or sound playing in the
background even when you are doing other things.
In my opinion, I have musical intelligence, because I like listening to music
very much and playing the piano.
Everyone has different skills: Creativity, Problem-solving, Critical thinking, and
so on. I have two skills: Leadership and communication skills.
Somebody who leads isn't just one who manages things. What a leader does is
to inspire, motivate, and empower. Anyone whose attitude moves from "I can
do it" to "we can do it" makes everybody better.
I can communicate easily. Having communication skills means less stress
and better relationships.
Success is the ability to achieve personal, professional, and life goals. A
successful person is a person who is capable of making critical decisions to
reach his goals.
How can we be successful? First, you have figured out what is important for
you personally, then you can focus on your visions and goals.
5. DESCRIBING PEOPLE / APPEARANCES / CHARACTER
How can we describe people? We can describe people's appearance, styles,
characters, feelings, etc. Appearance is what someone looks like on the outside.
A person’s appearance can be described in many ways. It is possible to say
something about a person based on his/her s style of clothing, manner of
walking, body shape, hairstyle, hair color, weight, height, skin color, and facial
expression.
Many scientists now believe that there are only five main types of character:
Open, Conscientious, extroverted, anxious, and agreeable. Open people are
curious and like art and adventure. They always have fresh ideas, experiences.
They are open-minded and approach new things with curiosity. They are also
good at thinking about and making connections. They enjoy things that are new,
different, and surprising. But some people believe that they are strange.
Conscientious people are organized and ambitious, but they never make quick
decisions. They are reliable, responsible, hard-working, and punctual.
Extroverted people are often described as being full of life, energy, and
positivity. They are cheerful and love to do exciting things. In group situations,
they are likely to talk often and they are never shy. Anxious people are sensitive
and sometimes they get a bit nervous.
Because they care about small details. Agreeable people are friendly and
generous. They believe that everyone is good and honest.
That is it!
6. FEELINGS IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS
Almost everybody has different emotions (like jealous, ashamed, embarrassed,
happy, sad, angry, and so on) from time to time ,and they can have a big effect
on the way people think and act because emotions have such a big effect on
people’s lives. People’s feelings are always changing. Scientists have
discovered that our emotions are often caused by our thoughts. This means 2
people could be happy at the same time but for different reasons.
You always know how you feel, but it isn’t always easy to tell how someone
else is feeling. Sometimes we should hide our feelings. For example if we see
people we don’t like, it is the best way to hide our feelings. Because all of us
know that being disrespectful could hurt a person’s feelings in a great way.
It is important to pay attention to your emotions . This will help you to solve
your problems and to feel better faster . Emotional reactions can be helpful
when they happen in the right situations. For example,if you feel scared of a
snake,your emotion of fear will help you stay away from snakes. Or,if your
family and friends notice that you are sad after a friend moves away, your
sadness can help them to see that you need their love and support. However,
sometimes these same emotions can be unhelpful if they happen in the wrong
situations. For example, if you are scared of taking a test that you stay home
from school, then you can not get a good grade. Therefore you need to know
how to control your emotions.
7. KINDS OF FOOD / FOOD ADVERTISING / EATING OUT
(RESTAURANT, CAFE)
Food has an important role in our life. We can prepare delicious meals by
combining different types of food.
By eating animal meet,we also accept other animal products. Other important
types of foods are vegetables and fruit. They are rich in many vitamins. Various
types of fruit should be an important part of everyone’s diet cause they contain
vitamins and minerals. One of the best ways to get all the healthy goodness
from fruits is by juicing or blending them. Seafood is another important
category of food. Most types of fish sold in shops are caught at sea. What about
dairy foods? They are made from the milk of animals such as cows,sheep,goats.
But the most well-known dairy product is cow’s milk.
Let’s talk about food advertising. Every year food companies spend billions of
dollars advertising foods to people. For example, photographers use mashed
potatoes instead of melting ice cream for long shots. Another example , they
add dish shampoo to make the coffee look frothy. They also throw plastic ice
into soft drinks to prevent melting.
Some people like to eat out in restaurants, others like to eat at home. It is
cheaper to eat at home. At a restaurant you can eat a wide variety of foods.
Eating out can be fun for people . There are different and interesting restaurants
and cafes in the city. If you like spending time with animals , there are
restaurants like this.
People who want to eat breakfast outdoors are also considered. For me, when I
have free time, my parents and I would cook delicious food at home
together,which create many special moments.
8. WAYS OF SHOPPING

There are 2 different ways of shopping. One of them is offline shopping which is the older method
to buy everything you need by visiting the shop. The advantage of offline shopping is that you can
touch things you want to buy. No need to wait for the product comes to home, by visiting the shop
or mall you can buy anything.
It saves your money. But there are disadvantages of traditional shopping. As we know offline
shopping is a physical activity so it takes our time. During visiting the shop we have always less
choice. We can visit only 3 or 4 shops in a day. Another disadvantage is that offline shopping is only
available for limited hours in the day time. We can’t make offline shopping at night time.
The other way of shopping is online. If you hate crowds when you do shopping, especially during
holidays,festivals,or on weekends, online shopping is suitable for you. But there are also
disadvantages of online shopping. If you do all your business online, you will never have to leave
your home. This might be great for a while,but sometimes you might want to go outside , breathe
some fresh air ,talk to real people and just be a part of the crowd. By the way, you can’t be sure
about the material and quality of the clothes you buy.
Products that looked great might feel cheap when you hold them in your hands. As you can see,
there are good and bad sides of these 2 shopping ways. We just need to know how to use them
properly.
9. SOCIAL BEHAVIOR (BAD, GOOD MANNERS) / SOCIAL RULES (TRADITIONS AND
TABOOS)
Social Behavior is behavior among two or more organisms within the same
species, and encompasses any behavior in which one member affects the other.
Bad Manners:
1)Talking too loud-Sometimes People don`t know How loud they are talking.
That`s why check your volume.
2)Interrupting- Wait until the other person stops talking before you start your
conversation.
3)Flat-Out rudeness-Some people pretend no one else in the world is affected
by their behavior, actions, and words.But they are. It's always a good idea to
start by treating others as you want them to treat you.
Don't ask rude questions that are none of your business or say something that
will embarrass others. And if someone does something nice for you, say,
"Thank you," to show your appreciation. That shouldn't be too difficult.
4)Cell Phone Conversation In Public-When you're talking on your cell
phone in public, remember where you are. Don't discuss anything that the
rest of the world has no business knowing your problem. Wait until you get
home—or at least in your car—before discussing such private stuff.
Good Manners:
1)Being polite to your friends will keep them calling.When your friends
know you care enough to have good manners with them, they are more
likely to include you in activities and events.
2)Others will listen if you give them a chance to speak. Being a good
conversationalist involves more than knowing the right words or talking all
the time. The person you are speaking to will feel that you care if you take
a breather and hear what he or she has to say.
And I can say about today`s problem: Covid-19. In this situation, We must
Follow the rules which are said to us.

10. HISTORICAL PLACES AND BUILDINGS / TOWNS AND CITIES

What comes to our mind when we say historical places? Such places have an ancient history. There
are a lot of historical places in the world. Historical buildings are the key to discover the local
culture. One of them is Pisa tower which is located in Pisa,Italy. The castle became known as the
“Falling tower” and is known around the world for its appearance. Because it looks like it is about
to collapse , but it is well fixed to the ground. The basis of the tower was laid in 1174.
The Egyptian pyramids have the most interesting and secret history. Many predictions have been
made about the pyramids over the years. It was suggested that 10 thousand people worked in
construction. After all the Egyptians did not build the pyramids with aliens or giants. Especially
thanks to the geometry, mathematics and physical sciences they used.
One of the best things about traveling is exploring the history of a given place. Prague is one of the
most historical cities in Europe. In Prague you can find the oldest astronomical clock and the
Prague castle.
Berlin is an old city too. Berlin’s history is something you feel more than you see. It was the capital
of Nazi Germany. It was divided down the middle during the cold war.
There are many historical places in the world that we don’t know much about. But there benefits to
explore and learn them.
11. FASHION
Fashion is one of the most critical industries in our world today. Fashion
depends on the person and differs from person to person. Some people say-
fashion is just an interest or work. Other people, say-Fashion is very useful in
our life. But it can be used by everyone. It is related to culture. For instance,
warm clothes are typical in Swedish fashion while there are thin clothes in
African fashion. Also, if we pay attention, we see that fashion changes from
country to country. Now such cities as Paris, Milan, New-York and London are
capitals of fashion. Because big fashion companies are situated in these places.
İn addition, fashion weeks are held in these capitals.
We can also example big fashion house -Gucci, Prada, Channel and so on.
We usually see newspapers, magazines about fashion. I believe that they are
great for every person.
Fashion changes every time. People get used to this situation. I can say you
about some different styles. For example: Long-sleeved; Crew neck; Sleeveless;
Short-sleeved; Cropped and Turtle Neck.-It is for Blouse
For Trousers: Tight; Loose ; Baggy; Flared; 3-Quarter Pants and so on.
Clothes aren’t fashionable for only their styles. They can be fashionable their
for color and material too. For example: Denim,silk, leather,wool material and
etc.
Finally, I think It doesn’t matter What color and What material of clothes you
wear, First You should dress what you want, Not what is fashion. We can be real
when we do what we like. So we don`t be embarrassed for it. Just relax and
believe our taste (zövq)
12. RENTAL COMPANIES FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES
A car rental agency is a company that rents automobiles for short periods,
generally ranging from a few hours to a few weeks. It is useful for a person who
hasn`t got a car. Most students join this type of company. It is useful for them.
Of course, useful. Here are good opportunities:
1.Booking is easier than you expect.
2.It is more convenient than you imagine.
3.You can choose different sized cars for different trips.
4.You feel less stressed knowing you don`t have to pay for expensive repairs.

Do you know what do you need to rent a car?

1.Meet the renting location's minimum age requirements.
2.Have a valid driver's license.
3. Be able to provide an acceptable form of payment.

In my opinions , If you need a car for a short time, you can join and take
a rental car. Else, you can buy a car which is your style and you can
design it every time.

13. HOMES (DIFFERENT TYPES)/ HOME EXCHANGE

Home exchange, also known as house swapping, is a form of lodging in which
two parties agree to offer each other homestays for a set period. Since no
monetary exchange takes place, it is a form of barter ,collaborative
consumption and sharing. Home exchange can cover any type of residence
including apartments, houses, holiday cottages, boats, or recreational vehicles.
It can include an exchange of the entire home or just a room. The length of the
swap can vary from a weekend to over a year. The swap can be simultaneous or
non simultaneous. Home exchanges are usually arranged via specific types of
social networking services, most of which charge a fee.
Like all homestays, home exchanges offer several advantages over hotel
lodging, including a lower cost and opportunities for cultural diplomacy and
friendship.
Some networks offer the ability to collect a security deposit.
Summer is traditionally the peak season for house swapping, as families travel
during school breaks.

There are different types of homes. If you want to live in every type of home,
you can exchange your home. You can live in someone else`s house while they
live in yours, from a few days to a few weeks. It`s not just about saving money.
It gives you a chance to see places that aren`t on the tourist map.

For example: Cottage-A cottage is, typically, a small house. It may carry the
connotation of being an old or old-fashioned building. In modern usage, a
cottage is usually a modest house.
What about a four-bedroom house?
I like to live in a house which has many rooms. Maybe, there is a garage and a
garden). I think who doesn`t like to be alone, should prefer a house with many
rooms.
If you want to live in a modern flat, I prefer the modern flat with blinds.
Of course, you can live in each of them with the help of a home exchange.

Finally , in my opinion :”East or West,home is best” – you can change your style
when you are bored. But No place will be as comfortable and native as your own
home.)

14. WATER / CLIMATE

Water is an odorless and tasteless substance that is essential for the life of all living things on the
Earth.
A person can tolerate hunger for 40 days but without water, a person can live for 3 days. The body
of all living things in the world consists of water. 60% of our body is water. A quarter of the Earth's
surface (1/4) consists of water. We use a lot of water in our daily life. We use 80 liters of water
while taking a shower, drink 3,5 liters of water in 1 day, use 20 liters of water while cooking and 65
liters while washing towels. To prevent water wastage you can save rainwater and use it to water
your garden. In my opinion by using more dishes than you need you waste the water. Because more
dishes mean more washes. Reducing the amount of water you use can protect our planet.
Scientists used the word “climate” to describe the temperature of an area for a long period. Some
places are dry and hot,while other places are rainy and humid. For example a village in India is the
driest place in the world. But at the same time Antarctica has the lowest temperature. Oceans,seas
,and large lakes can affect the climate of an area. Sunlight keeps the liquid in rivers and oceans
warm. Water evaporation makes the air at the seaside more humid. The reasons of global warming
are the factors that affect the climate, as well.

15. HOLIDAYS ON CRUISE SHIPS

I have always been curious about curise holidays. Cruising is a very relaxing way to travel the
world. Maybe you hate flying, then cruising is suitable for you. Cruising allows you to explore
many places in a short time. You can spend all day touring an island . There is always somewhere
to relax on a cruise ship. At night you can eat four-star cuisine,take in a show,or dance with your
partner. Modern cruise ships have a casino,shops, fitness center,spa,cinema,library and so on. There
are a lot of fun for singles,couples or families. You can have a good time with your family by
watching concerts in the evenings. Cruises can be economical and romantic. They provide a great
experience to people. You will feel relaxed while traveling in the middle of the sea. You also can
order food from restaurant of ship at any time of the day. There are also some pools in it. But there
are also disadvantages of cruise ship too. Taking a cruise is more expensive than traveling by other
ways. You cannot use your own credit card or cash on a cruise.
If I have a chance to travel on cruise ships I would like to go to Maldives.
