HERE IS MY BODY PARAGRAPH!!!!!!! One example of activities that you can do in İstanbul is having a Bosporus Tour. Istanbul is a semi-island that has lands in Asia and Europe. At the same time, it is surrounded by Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. The Bosphorus(Boğaziçi) Strait divides the province in two parts: the European side and the Asian side. You can take ferry tours from Kadıkoy or Uskudar and Eminönü. This tour enables you to see wonderful parts of Istanbul from the sea. You can take great photos and have a chance to have a look at the both parts of the city in a short period of time. Another example is shopping.The city has biggest shopping malls of Turkey. There are almost one hundred malls. Since the city has a great population, the international companies know that Istanbul ıs a profitable market. That’s why, most of the international companies like H&M, Bershka, and Zara have branches in Istanbul. At the same time, it’s very cheap as there are many alternatives. You can also find traditional things like carpet and spices thanks to KapaliCarsi and Spice Bazaar.The last example is visiting historical places.Istanbul is one of the oldest cities of the world. It was the capital of Ottoman Empire. Before the Ottoman Empire, Byzantine and Roman Empires were reigning the city. Therefore, the city has plenty of historical places. Topkapı Palace is one of the most famous of these places. The Emperors were living in this place, and you can see the culture of the Empire there. There are also many mosques whish are crucial for Ottoman architecture. Not only mosques but also churhes can be seen.In addition, you should also see Galata Tower, Maiden’s Tower, and Bacisilica Cistern.
CONCLUSION • Signaling(transition) word • In conclusion,… • In Summary,… • To summarize,… • To sum up, • To conclude,… • In short,… • In brief,… • All in all,… • Summing this whole thing up,… • RESTATEMENT • SUMMARY • CLOSURE
FOR EXAMPLE, Summing this whole thing up, you can do different things if you visit Istanbul. It can be an unforgettable experience for you if you are interested in history. On the other hand, you can find unique pieces to buy. You can enjoy the scenery. I feel myself lucky to have seen this magnificent city before, and I hardly recommend you to visit it.
