I live in Istanbul City of Turkey.
I want to tell you a little about my country. My country is a country that is very rich in terms of culture and people of many nationalities live. One of the reasons why it attracts so many people is its geopolitical position. Turkey is a very beautiful country with a temperate climate and covered with seas on 3 sides. Due to its temperate climate, it is a place suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry, with a large number of jobs.
Of course, with all these beauties, there are also some downsides. After all, the rose is beautiful too, but it has thorns.

The Three Rs(Reasons)

What are the 3 most common reasons why I love my country?

• Travel in Turkey.
  This may sound simple to you, but Turkey's natural and historical beauties are the main reason why many people from other countries come here. For me, this aspect of my country is very dominant. East, west, north and south are beautiful. Our shores to the seas are very suitable for holidays. It is also very famous in terms of cultural tourism. People from another religion or culture may also feel like they belong here. I think this is a great feature. It does not end with describing the natural, historical and cultural beauties of my country.
• Hospitality in Turkey.
  Hosting guests is very important in our culture. If someone comes to visit, great importance is given to the comfort of those who come first. The most special meals and desserts are prepared for those who come. Wonderful tables are set. The highest level of satisfaction is provided for visitors. There is also sincerity. Hospitality ends in the first hours, that person is like a host now. This is the case in most parts of my country. To express our happiness, we usually cook our most delicious meals and serve them to our guests.
• Food Culture in Turkey
  This is perhaps the most well-known aspect of all. Turkey has 7 geographical regions and each region has its own unique dishes. Really!!
  For example, people living in cities in the West and Aegean do not like to eat bitter. However, hot dishes are very popular in our Eastern Region. Even if you are not used to bitter foods, you will get used to it after a while and maybe your taste buds will get used to bitter foods. For example, this is me. My hometown Trabzon is a city from the Black Sea region. Normally, we don't like pain in our city, but I ate the pain so much that I like the pain even more now.

I talked about the positive aspects. Now I will talk about the things I want to change.

The Three Cs(Changes)

What are the disturbing things I want to change in my country?

• Traffic
  First of all, the biggest and unsolvable problem I want to talk about is traffic.
  Traffic is a very annoying problem in my country, especially in big cities. Let me explain it like this. The distance between the house I live in and the school where I teach is about 2 km. We could go on foot very comfortably in 20 minutes, and by car, we went in 45-50 minutes depending on the intensity of the traffic. can you believe this???
  If we are going to a far place, then it is much worse. You have to leave the house very early. This problem has not been solved for years and unfortunately I do not believe it will be solved.
• People Throwing Garbage On The Ground
  We all know that while some substances are mixed with the soil, some substances such as plastic do not. This causes environmental pollution. It even causes forest fires. For example, last summer, forest fires broke out in many places in my country. This may be due to other reasons, but fire ash or plastic waste that people leave in forests can cause fires.
  Visually too bad. The garbage collected from the seas every year is too much. I don't think there would be such a problem if everyone threw their garbage in the trash cans. But unfortunately it is very difficult to explain this to people. At the very least, we should raise our children consciously in this regard.
• People Who Don't Treat Animals Well
  There are many animal lovers in our country. But besides that, there are too many people who are unloving and selfish. There is no creature as innocent as animals. All they want is food and love. However, for some people, even if we do not provide food, it can torment them. We have to love and care for them. Yes, not everyone can take them home, but at least we shouldn't be mean. We may be scared, we may be nervous, but that doesn't mean we have to behave badly. They are our mute friends. Look into their eyes and they all want love, some food :)
