I heard it on TV that one of the thirty wives of the King came with a good many of people to Turkey and spent a lot of money.

Could someone give me a smooth explanation about when 'apart from' means 'in addition to' and when it means 'except for'. Thanks.

For example,what does it mean in the sentence below?In addition to or except for?

''Apart from its exact place, many things are known about the light house.''

I would really appreciate it, if you could illustrare the use of it. Thanks.

If the police weren't satisfied that the witnesses are telling the truth, they wouldn't have started a case against the accused.

1-To obtain the best result, the instructions must be followed closely.

My parents and I watched in awe.

We watched on a hot August evening.

Erratic bolts of lightning illuminated the sky.

The bolts of lightning were from a distant storm.

The girl..............abroad but the idea that she would be far away from her parents made her change her mind.

a- could live

b- was to have lived

I mean if there are any verses directly mentioning hair.

To read Anatole France was once the height of sophistication. Very few books were looked forward to as much as his books; no one ever mentions him nowadays.

By writing or words, you can make anything invisible into visible, bring the dead to life and make trees speak

In our daily lives,we are in moods, such as irritation, anxiety, uneasiness, tension,sorrow and temper tantrums. Yes,it is quite probable that we can all face those problems that are called stress. Nietzsche quotes ‘’That does not kill me, makes me stronger’’; those who are having it must try to recognise this problem first, then must believe that they can modify the reasons which create it, and finally must try to find the best solution.

Whenever I start reading a book, I feel as if I were a small fish lost in the ocean. I never know where I am and where I am being drifted into. I just try to find something interesting through the words with some sort of astonishment and lostness. Then,suddenly I find myself having taken the bait of the author; I am stil on the hook if the novel is good. If not, having been slipped from the hook, distracted, forgotten where I am, I begin to browse through the lines.

Unless the poet fuses his strenuous efforts and infinite patience into his poem, his poem will not hold long and will lose its savour soon, leaving us few vague memories.

In case the value of a man is expressed in fractions, the numerator symbolizes his real personality and the denominator does what he thinks he is; as the denominator gets bigger the value of the fraction gets smaller.

He is one of our poets who coalesces the universal values in the pot of socialist poetry. He involves his poems in every subject related to humans and different lives. Therefore, memories, trips, actual facts flow into his poems from a course created by an exquisite observation.

According to historians, one of the greatest civilizations of the human history was created in Çatalhöyük,Anatolia. Those who created this civilization are counted to be the first farmers in the history. Those people discovered how to feed themselves with the plants they grew and the animals they domesticated. They were also the first to establish the modern family and the urban system. Here came up the worshipping, Mother Goddess and the Goddess of Abundance(a tanslation from Turkish just word by word… I am lost here), named Cybele and Artemis respectively. Those people were also the first to engrave the walls of their houses with wall pictures presumably as beautiful as works of art.

The return of two people who have been away from home for a long time is the central premise of the novel. When they arrive, they both feel that they are alienated from their hometown. All the memories of their chilhood and adolescence are gone due to being replaced with fresher ones. Old pictures, diaries, houses and alleys are almost meaningless, because if you are leading a new life in a quite different place, memories are easy to fade away unless they are fed by surroundings reminding of them.The thing that keeps the memory vivid is to refresh it with reciprocal relationships with your folks .

I am a story writer and work for a publisher. I have editted quite a few books so far. I even titled some of them sharing the writer's enthusiasm. I regarded each book to which I contributed simply a comma as if it were mine. Publishing a book means bread and butter to me.( Well,I am really very confused here, I am trying to say it makes me feel very relaxed and happy). Each book bears the smell of bread and butter mingled with effort (literal translation from my tongue) at the time when it is published. The one you are holding is my first story book: I have not counted up how many.

How manyth president is he?

How manyth student are you?

Or, is there a better way to ask it.

The author, with a moderate and affectionate approach, deals with human conflicts and conflicts between humans and traditions in the swim of life. What he depicts are not super natural events, phenomena and situations. In some place in any country on Earth, there absolutely are strikingly similar lives to ones in those stories. Simple public beliefs are the basis of his stories. Struggling to earn a living, loves which have come to an end are the colourful portraits coming out of his stories

An old Turkish saying goes He who travels a lot knows better than he who reads a lot. In the past, as people could hardly ever have the chance to travel and did not conceive the value of reading ,they would regard those who travelled extensively and report their experiences in the places they had visited as very wise.

Today,however, there are hardly any places left we have not been familiar with due to television. Anybody sitting in front of that magic box has the chance to visit every corner of the world, from the USA to China,and the Arctic to the Antarctic.

The aim of education is not only to fill up children with information. Excessive information will simply develop their memories but not prepare them for the storms of life. It,on the other hand, will probably restrict their individual freedoms,because so much information will render the children void of necessary experiences to apply what they have learned. Therefore, they can not use their minds, think and behave freely. They can not create new solutions on new situations and this will lead them to constantly seek an harbour to be anchored firmly.
