DOWNLOADING FROM INTERNET

If you take heed of singers,filmmakers and their rights,downloading Mp3,films and software programs from Internet for free isn't acceptable behaviour.But these days,downloading is becoming common and people have valid reasons for that.For example,CD and DVD aren't cheap enough for them to afford so these things are in the second place in their lifes.People think that singers,actors or actresses can make money from different things such as concerts and there is no need to buy their CD or DVD.Easy access to films or songs is tempting reason for people.Via this facility of Internet,they can readily reach films which aren't showed on the screen.And also they can listen songs which are just put on the markets.Some people claim that while downloading for free,we violate human rights.They put forward this idea because downloading isn't regal action and we ignore rights and efforts of singers and filmmakers.That's why their desire to produce new works is decreasing day by day.However even if downloading is illegal action,there isn't deterrent application.Therefore people go on downloading.In addition to this,producers don't take account of financial conditions of people.

ENJOY YOUR LIFE

Life is too short and there are so many activities you can enjoy while doing,so many places you can learn different things while traveling.Therefore living in more places rather than one place and benefiting from their facilities supply you with experiences you cannot forget.

You can get rid of monotonous life and you can also be active while living in more places.You can make something such as rafting or eat something such as sushi.These may be first in your life.Around the world,there are different cultures,lifestyles and cuisine waiting to be discovered.While traveling,you can identify them and you can have a chance to evaluate them.Therefore you can have different perspectives of life.

Some people may disagree with these ideas.They claim that living in more places puts some problems in front of you.For example,you cannot have a regular life.Sometimes you may have difficulty in adjusting different lifestyles or cuisine.

To a certain extent,they are right.But life cannot be totally good.If you want the best,you must sacrifice something such as a regular life and you must travel around.

ALTERNATIVE

Literature is the way of exposing thoughts or feelings in an aesthetical way.Literature is the way of evaluating other people's works.Sometimes these people are authors or poets.But sometimes these are just ordinary people.However literature cannot appeal to everyone.As to literature taught in schools,it forces students to read specific poems or articles.Whether students want to read or not isn't important.And also students' thoughts about pieces are ignored.There is certain knowledge and student must absorb that.For example,a poem may associate varied things in different people's minds.These things may constrast with teachers' thoughts.But teachers ask students to think like them and this obliges students to memorize something.That's why,literature should be elective course not must course.Teacher should teach theoretical knowledge and students should be free for thinking.

IS IT ACCEPTABLE?

Euthanasia is to kill deliberately someone who has incurable disease.They may be in coma or they may have unbearable pain.Sometimes they can decide to put an end to their life on their own.But sometimes their family or their doctors can decide to end their suffering on behalf of them.However is it acceptable?Do people have a right to give up surviving when they have incurable diseases?Do their family or doctors have a right to decide in the name of people who are in coma.

There is always hope in one's life.Suddenly they may recover from an illness or people who are unconscious may not want to die.As for doctors,their duty is to rehabilitate people or lessen their suffering not to terminate their lifes.According to some religions and some laws,euthanasia is unapproved.Therefore when euthanasia is carried out,these facts should be taken into consideration.

TRAVELING

Imagine that you and your family desire to see different places on holiday.By which transport vehicle do you want to travel?By bus or by airplane?Which of them are better for you.

In fact,you can reach places you want to go by bus or by airplane.Both of them provide this facility.And also in both of them.there are hosts or hostesses waiting on food and beverages.At the same time,if need arises,you can ask host or hostess to assist you.Previously,there was immense gaps between airplane and bus in terms of prices,yet if you book tickets in advance,you don't have to pay money as much as you did.But as everyone knows,if you choose an airplane for transportation,you will arrive at places fast on the other hand if you choose a bus,it will waste your time.However airplane may pose a danger to people having a fear of heights so bus becomes more safer than airplane for those people.In terms of comfort,airplane is eligible hence it supplies you with more spaces and more comfortable seats.Unlike airplane,you have an opportunity to see around while traveling by bus.

To conclude,there are advantages and disadvantages of both means of transportation.

TWO DIFFERENT PLACES

I have seen two places in Second Life.One of them is Info Island and the other is Utwig.Both of them are situated near the sea and also are full of palm trees.At the same time,Info Island and Utwig have an undefined objects which stand in the air.Similarly,they have houses standing in the air.Info Island is surrounded by green areas on the other hand Utwig is covered with snow.In Info Island,Christmas is celebrated so there are Christmas trees in almost everywhere.However In Utwig,the season is summer and everywhere is filled with flowers which having divergent colours.

FAULTY BIRTHDAY

Sometimes some mistakes may turn into a wonderful events and it may be enjoyable much more than you expected.

One day,my friend,Merve, came to school in the excitement of giving a significant information about our english teacher.We were eager to getting to know what it was.She told us that birthday of our teacher was at following week and she acquired this knowledge from Facebook so we decided to organize a birthday.Firstly we accumulated money for present and some of our friends became in charge of this duty.And then, I and some of my friends decided to prepare cakes and pies.When birthday time came,we brought present,cakes and pies to class.But our teacher said that we celebrated his birthday before,because the date appearing on Facebook wasn't correct.This made us unhappy.However when our teacher said that it didn't pose a problem to him,we ignored this fault and we continued to entertain.

That day was different experience for us and our teacher.At least,I think so.

If someone is committed to go after their dreams,opportunities will appear suddenly in front of them.My brother,Hakan, and his friend,Selin, had a chance to display their talent by the agency of competition of short film.Initially,Hakan and Selin wrote a story about lack of communication in the home and send it to 'Plato Film Okulu' where they acquired knowledge about how to handle a camera at the same time they enjoyed making the acquaintance of celebrities like Sinan Çetin,Ayla Algan and Yılmaz Erdoğan.Next,they returned to Kastamonu so as to turn their sory into a short film.Hakan,Selin and their friends had been endeavoring to make this for one month before they went to İstanbul again.Finally,the day which results were declared arrived.But unfortunately,they couldn't come first.But ı and my parent took pride in their effort and determination.

A couple of days ago, our neighbor,Selin, told me about a really strange event she witnessed in the wedding ceremony of her cousin. it was a wonderful wedding, she narrated, everyone was enjoying the great music and atmosphere and everything was good till that moment when that noise was heard. An argument broke out between groom and photographer. At first nobody understood what was happening. And then, they went on the ceremony. But Selin wondered what they were fighting about and as she was a good friend of the photographer, and asked him about it. The photographer told her that he had taken some pictures of the groom and a girl hugging and kissing each other and showed them to the groom telling that the bride would also learn about this. “He treated me not to show them to anyone and that’s why we fought” he said to Selin. While they were talking about this, they couldn’t notice that the bride was listening to them until she walked in tears and wanted to see those pictures. And she slapped the groom. It was shocking. At the end of these shocking event, the ceremony was over and they couldn’t get married.

MILESTONE

There is a milestone in one's life.On those days,everything can change in a very short time so people will either give up or continue to survive where it left off.
My close friend whose name is Betül had had a traffic accident after school's party and it was a milestone for her and parent,friends of her.When ı heard that event,ı was told that there wasn't anything wrong with her situation so ı was very relieved.But this didn't last long.When ı went to hospital,ı learned that she was concussed and spend brain hemorrhage.That's why we were waiting desperately for the expiry of 24 hours to learn whether she was able to manage to survive.After she spent five days in hospital in Kastamonu,she was sent to Hacettepe with a helicopter because of her critical condition.I had a chance to call on her in Ankara after YDS.Nurse told me to say something but when ı entered into intensive care,ı couldn't say anything.She spent about fourty days in intensive care in Ankara.Then she was sent to Kastamonu for rehabilitation.I and some of my friends met her.At first,she didn't react,walk,talk and eat.She was like a baby on those days.As the time was passing,everything resumed again.Firstly,she commenced speaking.Unfortunately,she didn't take ÖSS and YDS because of accident.

Now she gets better day to day.She thinks about preparing for exams again.I expect she will go to the university she wanted most.Since she is determined,strong person,ı believe that she will overcome this difficulty.

BUILDING A HOUSE

To begin with,our group consisting of seven members went to place near the sea.In first step,we decided to build ground of our house.One of the member of our group carried out this task by locating box on certain point and enlarging it to wanted dimension.After first step,we attempted to put up walls of our house.And then,since we didn't compromise about how high and big they should be,we constructed three walls which have divergent height each other.In following step,we didn't amend our walls therefore we deleted all of them so we returned to beginning situation and there was limited time.In last step,we endeavoured to build our walls urgently.We were able to manage to construct four walls which have equal height each other and also a roof which actually didn't resemble a roof.
To sum up,we didn't construct a house exactly.Hence time was over and we didn't make a plan.

FOG

Fog is everywhere.Fog is up the river where it flows green aits and meadows.Fog is also down the river where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great and dirty city.Fog is on the Essex marshes and fog is on the Kentish heights.Fog creeps into the cabooses of collier_brigs.Fog lies out on the yards and hovers in the rigging of great ships.Fog droops on the gunwales of barges and small boats.Fog is in the eyes and throat of ancient Greenwich pensioners who wheeze by the fireside of their wards.Fog is in the stem and bowl of afternoon pipe of the wrahtful skipper.Fog is down in his close cabin.Fog cruelly pinches the toes and fingers of his shivering prentice boy on the deck.Lucky people who are on the bridges peep over the parapets into a nether sky of the fog as if they were up in a ballons hung in the misty clouds.Fog is all round them.

ABOUT METU

There are lots of divergent people ın METU.Their purposes about coming METU are also different from each other..That’s way we can put them into many groups.Firstly we can categorize them in terms of first letter of their surnames.For instance,people whose surnames beginning with A involve in section 1 and attend a class for section 1.Secondly we can also classify them according to place they came from.Some people came from abroad.Others came from big or small city.People coming from big city get used to living in Ankara easily.Because they are accustomed to intensive tempo of big city.On the other hand,people coming from small city may have difficulty in acclimatizing.Lastly we can divided them into two groups from the point of their goals.First group receives education for the purpose of their proffessional career and second group study in METU so as to advance their perspectives.That people participate in extracurricular activity and they also participate in different colony such as colony of education.They make friends from other department.They are interesting in sports or music.So they would like to enjoy studying in METU.
As ı mentioned at the beginning of essay,there are lots of divergent people in METU.Therefore we can vary groups.

CLASSIFICATION OF PEOPLE USİNG SL

We can divide people using sl into two groups.First group uses sl for useful purposes.They want to learn different culture.They talk them about their lifestyle,custom etc.They also want to explore different places.People like us would like to improve reading and writing.Some think sl is a good tool for learning and is a good way to keep in touch with people.Second group uses sl for fun.They want to make friends.They wander around.
No matter what their purpose are,sl is an interesting game for learning,developing our perspectives,discovering and also for enjoying.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THE TECHNOLOGY

What is the technology?When that question is asked,almost all people say that it is a kind of activity making our lives easier and it can be used for practical purposes.But as it happens in everything,technology has also some disadvantages.
To begin with,it prevent us from communicating people around us.For example,if we focus on computer,we can't pay attention around us.Then we start to get isolated.Some devices of technology such as phone,computer,tv,microwave machine etc emit radiation posing serious threat to our lives.Thanks to some technological devices like atm and on-line services,we can do our works without depending on other people.But this result in increasing the proportion of unenployment.Besides these impacts,some people can't make anything useful in front of computer or tv and this makes them lazy.
To sum up,we can enhance disadvantages of technology,however,we must benefit from technology.

My Best Friend

Çağlanur Bektaş is my best friend.She has a black,curly hair.Her hair is in accord with her black and big eyes.Her height is about 1.60.She is slim and short person.In my opinion,she is funny.If you are in with her,there is nothing saddening you.Because she finds a way to amuse you.She's a self-confident and determined person.If she wants to acquire something,she tries to do her best to acquire.She's also emotional as well as being funny.She's good at writing poem,story etc.She won prizes in this field.She's interested in acting.We can see her at the end of the school on the stage.She earns reputation with the acting of "Sürahi Hanım".She is also keen on playing badminton.

AYÇA AKDEMİR

Hi friends,
I would like to introduce myself as far as ı can do on this blog.I'm Ayça Akdemir.I'm from Ordu.But ı have lived in Kastamonu since ı was born because of my father's job.Kastamonu is a developing,small city but ı like greenness,tranquility of this city.I graduated from Göl Anatolia Teacher Training High School.I have a brother younger than me.I hadn't got on with him before ı came METU.Unfortunately,there aren't any sports ı'm interested in but ı like jogging.It is relaxing.I like listening music from Şebnem Ferah,Teoman,Manga,Evanescence and like this while reading a book.I enjoy reading science fiction and adventure books.
METU is my first choice.But at first,I didn't want to start.Because living in a dormitory,getting used to new environment,regularity,friends and so on are difficult for me.I don't have a chance to develop my writing,listening and pronunciation in high school because of YDS and ÖSS.I expect that METU is wonderful university for developing in this fields.By the way,ı also expect that ı improve my knowledge of computer and technology in this course.
That's all about me and my expectation.
THANKS.
