any idea please for a presentation about Turkey ?
hi ! I'm a French student and I'll make a presentation about the history,culture and traditions of Turkey . I went to Istanbul for a week and I also got a lot of information from the net,but I don't know how to organize them . I just chose 5 regions to talk about ( istanbul,ankara,izmir,antalya and trabzon ) because turkey is too big and I just have 1hour presentation. so could you please help me with your suggestions ? here is my plan 1.a brief introduction about the history of Turkey ( the ottoman empire / Ataturk ) 2. the culture of Turkey 1. Istanbul ( topkapi / blue mosque / dolmabahce / misir bazar ) 2.Anakra 3.Izmir ( main monuments ) 4.Trabzon 5.Antalya 2. The folklore music and dance ( horon / kasik oyunu /kolbasti ) the turkish cuisine ( food like imam bayildi / iskender/ sis kebab / bakleva ...) any idea please ? Thank you in advance :)

well i am only 15 but your plan sounrealal good to me i dont think you need to fix anything i like the organization of the presentation
2 :
as a turk i feel so proud right now, that if i knew french i would have created the whole presentation for you. i think your points are good, but i don't know if you would have a lot to talk about, about Trabzon and Antalya. To me they don't have much significance main points: where turks come from (central asia mostly) turkic empires turkish culture (of today) / Music turkish society religion Ottoman - French Relations Ataturk World War 1 Topkapi palace Turkish Food Turkey in the Korean War http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/country_profiles/1022222.stm feel free to ask me for anything or if you have any questions the reason that i have a low rating is because: apparently i have a whole bunch of enemies on this site that keep track of my answers and give a low rating. However, i updated my privacy settings and this shouldn't happen anymore

A brief introduction about history should cover a little more than the Ottoman Empire and Ataturk. Maybe this could help: http://tripatlas.com/Turkish_people Read the history part, and etymology, add a little about the Ottomans, and Ataturk, Subtract a little, there you are, the introduction is ready. You probably have a lot of information from the internet. But I think these are good links. So, take a look. http://www.allaboutturkey.com/ http://www.kultur.gov.tr/EN/belge/2-14750/culture.html http://www.turkish-cuisine.org/english/index.php http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_cuisine http://www.turkishculture.org/ I'd include Capadoccia and Hierapolis in my presentation, because they are unique. Otherwise, you seem to be on the right track.

Here is a wonderful site that you can get detail information . The site has also slideshows which could be a good resource for your presentation. http://www.adiyamanli.org/all_about_turkey.htm Good luck!

New Jersey is a big state. You don't say which airport you are coming into or where you are going. If you are a student, maybe the school where you are going will have a room for you, or at least be able to tell you where to find one nearby. Here is a link that may be helpful http://hotel-guides.us/new-jersey/nj-hotels.html Good luck.

Here's an important question that will help you narrow it down: How many foreign languages do you know? If the answer is zero, you may want to consider a country which speaks your native language. But, don't fret. I know a lot of people who knew almost nothing about the main language of a country they did a foreign exchange to. If you go this route, consider taking language classes before you leave (independently or through your school or a nearby school), or taking language classes while in that country. If you do know a foreign language or two, even just a bit, go to a country which has that language as its first or second language. Also, how long have you been away from your family and friends? Do you get homesick easily? If you haven't been away from them for long, or you do get homesick easily, you should go to a neighboring country, or one on the same continent; or, you could go to a country that is farther away but you won't be gone for as long. One last thing to consider is this: how open are you to seeing different religions, different people, and different ways of life without instantly pressing your beliefs upon them? Any country you go to which isn't your own will have people vastly different from you. Are you willing to learn about new people and things without trying to change them into who you are? :) Personally, from your list, I'd pick Japan. Not only is it on a different continent, it's pretty much the technological and fashion capital of the universe, but those are some things I'm interested in. Look into a little history and culture about each of these countries before you make your final decision!!!

I think the best thing you can do is to decide what is important to you. Ask yourself questions like: -Do you want to learn a new language? -Do you want to get to know a completely different culture and adjust or you just want something with a little more familiarity? -Do you want to go to a place that has excellent weather conditions? -Do you want to go to a country where most people do speak English? LANGUAGE/CULTURE: I would definitely recommend a country that you do know something about and you can speak its language at a certain level. Even if you don't speak Spanish, it is a good option because that language is pretty easy compared to the others and most Spanish universities offer several classes in English. This way, you would have a good opportunity to learn a new language because don't expect too much from a language that you are not familiar with at all. I don't think anybody could learn more than some words in a semester. That was my experience at least. If language learning is not the reason why you want to be an exchange student, Denmark is also a great option since everybody speaks perfect English there. It is a very nice country, by the way. I'm from Hungary and I can tell you Hungarian is a very difficult language just like most of the languages of the other countries you listed. I have met many exchange students and although they felt great here, I kinda felt that they were a little lonely and sometimes they were afraid to communicate with others. They would have loved to learn the language but that is impossible in only one academic year or even less. If you have any questions, feel free to message me because I might be able to give you some advice if you have specific questions since I have visited or lived in a lot of countries you have on your list.
