FREE DOWNLOADING OR NOT?

Free downloading something, such as mp3, films, videos, from Internet should not be illegal. Because, there are so many users this way all around the world that, maybe, they don't know it is illegal. Actually, we, students, even can enter the Internet to download something easily. And, the sites where everything is downloaded are so common and don't have any legal warnings. While we downloading something, there is no any ban for not downloading. So, we can think that it is not illegal. In fact, There are some people who have a strong punishment because of free downloading. However , those examples are not so many. Thus, those punishments aren't deterrent and don't prevent people from doing it.

As a result, if somebody wants to avoid downloading for free, there will be more concrete obstruction. If not, it should be legal, then.

WRONG TO KILL SOMEONE DELIBERATELY

Euthanasia means to kill deliberately a person who is very ill and going to die, in order to stop him/her suffering. There has been an argument, which is if euthanasia shoul be or not. I think it should not be implemented.

Because, even if the patient has a very incurable illness, we cannot know whether there will be a cure for the illness causing the patient to be bounded up with a machine to live in the future, maybe one, two or five years later, or not. If we implement euthanasia soon, I can say that we intentionally kill the person and it means we have a crime actually. Then there should be punishment, ı think. I see the people who implement and are contented to euthanasia as murderer. Moreover, when we look each religion such as Islam, Chiristianity, judaism etc. we cannot say euthanasia is suitable according to religious rules.Because, in religious rule, we cannot see that to kill a person deliberately is unacceptable, except from some cases.They say that only God knows when, where, how a person will die, not any people. When we look what the opposite ideas are. They say that if a person lives in pain, ending his/her life can be much better. Nevertheless, we cannot know when the cure will be found, maybe today or tomorrow. In conclusion, if there is a way to have a cure soon or later, we should wait only, but not to order to kill anybody.

WHAT IS WRONG?

There are some websites in the Internet having a ban on them not to visit legally, which is acceptable to me actually. Firstly, the reason why the government bans these websites is content they have, I think. The content may be opposite of what the government has a national or something else virtues. I mean, if you were a government , you would want everyone in your state to have a respect towards the national virtues of government. Naturally, in the border of your country you would not want anyody to disobey your rules. For example, when some websites have content in which there are disrespectful showing, essays etc. about someone who are important for your state in the past, it should be a ban or resrict on them. A few years ago, a website called 'youtube', a video sharing site, had a video having an unacceptable things about Atatürk, our first leader. Then, the government gave a restrict on the website that the school or related to government school cannot enter the websites any more. Someone said about this case that it was a press restrict and it should not be. However, I can say against this idea that to abuse someone's special life cannot be considered a freedom. In conclusion, if there is something wrong about virtues of government has, there should be a ban.

MONEY OR FAMILY?

There is an argument that which one is the most important; to have little money, but much time with your family or to have much money. but little time with your family. Firstly, I think family and friends' relationship is more important than money. It means that not money but family gives us happiness or inner needs such as love, the sense of belongings etc. you can have cars, houses, etc. with your money but you annot take your happiness, etc. For example, there are a lot of example of people who are rich and have a lot of but not happy. Secondly, we will not stay in the world as long as we want forever. Therefore, we shouldn't spend most of our time by only working. We should have and spend time with our family and friends, too. As a result I can say that we can live a little money, but not without happiness, love etc.

Outline for the topic; 'What do you think about downloading MP3s, films and different software programs from the Internet without paying any money?'

Thesis statement: Downloading something, such as mp3, film, videos, movies, for free from Internet shouldn't be illegal.
Reason 1: There are so many users this way for downloading that, may be, they don't know it is illegal.

Refutation of against statement: Those examples are not so many. Thus, that punishment is not deterrent, actually.
Conclusion statement: If somebody want to avoid downloading for free, there will be more concrete obstruction. If not, there should be legal.

face to face education online education

COMPARE THEM (WHICH ONE IS MUCH BETTER)

We discussed the adventage and disadvantge of online and face to face education in our courses last week. Firstly, we formed a group with some my classmates. And we started to talk about this topic. We all have a common belief that traditional, face to face education is always much better than online one. There are o lot of reasons for it. First of all, in traditional education , you can use your all senses, such as eyes, ears, touch etc. You can say that we have them in online education,as well. But we don't have any lively contact with our teacher in online education. And, in learning business, lively things are much better. So, we must see who teaches us, how s/he teaches etc. We must use our senses,that is. Second reason, in learning, people are given trust. In face to face education, you can give and take the trust. But, in online, we don't have always.In spite of everything, we can't say that the online education is unnecessary. It has some good quality,as well.

Finally, I think both of these education styles are necessary. We can use both together for forming a good education....

Finallly, I think that

.......
When I was a high school student, we had a project with some foreign schools. Sometimes, they came our school, Turkey. Sometimes our school's student and teacher visited them, too. They included Spain, Greek, Bulgarian, Portugal etc. I did't travel this countries, but some student in our school went one of this countries and saw them. When I was in my last year in high school, some Spain students and teacher came and stayed for a while in our school, almost five days. We , language students, spent times with them. At the beginning, we couldn't speak them very well in English. We couldn't contact with them vey well. We tought that we couldn't speak, but we realised that their pronounciation wasn't good. So, we couldn't understand them and they couldn't us, too. But, towards to the end of their visit, both they and we could understand each other very well. And the last day, while we were seing off them, they were weeping, Because, they liked us and didn't want to leave Turkey.Because, we became good friends with them. We have still contacted with them.

VERY HARD?
When we look at all over the world, we will see that there is always debate among people. There is no difference in ABD, Europe, Asia, Africa etc... in everywhere. Our world is very problematic actually. Why people have a debate among them? I ponder always for it. I found a main problem; it is 'not liking each other'...It affect also the other things.For example, not liking each other results in untolerance, selfish, debate, a problematic world, not welfare, not smiling, always tear, upset children in war place, youth in gap, even and the most important WAR. But, all nice things in the world results from generally liking each other.
When we ask the people why they don't like the others, we will see that the reason generally is differences. But, differences is a obligatory concept, not willing among people. Just think, if we were the same exactly, would the world be to life well or enjoyable? So, I think we should our differences are our richnesses. If we like and tolerate, the world will be much nicer to live than now.
Is it very hard? I think no!!!

THE DIFFERENCES

There are two pictures in front of us.They were taken from SL. Now, I will write about differences between them. Fistly, in the first picture, people have different activities, for instance,drinking something, sitting somewhere, having a flesh air, even swinging on a swing. It is a place for resting for a while. There is a shopping centre in the second picture. there are movie halls where you can buy and see the movies. There are also other shops where you can have and buy everything you want. It has not got any flesh air in contrast to first pictures. It is a closed place, with roof and walls. The first place can be used in summur and spring season, but the second place can be used in all seasons. It is the most important qualitiy in the second place.
In spite of every quality and unquality, The both places have some important functions.

THE MISSING ROSE

The Missing Rose is a novel. I don't know what you know about it. Its author is a Turkish, Serdar Özkan. It is international best seller, also. It has been translated from turkish into almost every languages all over the world. Its plot is organised in both abroad and İstanbul(turkey), anyway. Because of these, I decided to buy and take it my own library last month. I took and read it. Its narration was very good actually.Because, while a am reading a book, I don't prefer to finish in a one day or lees than. I read books eveyday and partly. But, I has finished a book firstly in my life in a less than one day. The book is The Missing Rose.The resons were its narration, plot and even good printing. That is, there are a lot of reasons for this book to be a bestseller. Its subject is also universal actually. I advised you this book strongly.

BUILDİNG A HOME WİTH A GROUP

In the SL program, you can make everything as possible as you can. We, me and my classmates, signed up this program for covering Advanced Reading and Writing course.

This week, our teacher, Sedat Akayoğlu, wanted us to build a home, but with a group.Firstly, we made different groups with four, five, six people etc.There were almost six people in our group, for instance. We came together to decide how , where we could do this business.Fortunately, we found a space for building our home.Now, there was a problem. How could we do it? Secondly, or teacher showed us how we could do it.We learned everything for building. Then, we shaved the business. Oe of us built the floor, the others built four walls. And I built the roof and the stairs etc. Then, we painted the parts of home with different colours. It took a long time, actually. But it was enjoyable, also.

Finally, when we finished everything for building, we took proudly a fotograph in front of the building which was our own art. Now, look at the our home and comment on it!

ABOUT STUDENTS AND THEIR PURPOSE IN METU

You know that there a lot of students in metu.They have different life in school, society etc.So they have also different purpose to attend this university.We can classify them three groups as to what they think about beinf in metu.

The students in first group want to have a job soon after graduating from metu.They keen on finishing the school soon and having a good job.Fortunately, metu has a good name for hiring person for every company, pivate school,etc.So the students in this group want to use this advantage.

The second group's purpose is to continue the education in university for having a good degree.They can attend course and develop themselves very well.These courses may be master courses.Some students in group prefer also to stay in university as a teacher for university students.for example, I can join this group,also.Because I want to be teacher for university students.

The third group has a very different purpose about university.Firstly, they have a rich life, family, generally.Anyway they don't need to work for surviving.Because, they have enough money for their whole life.So,they don't have to have any diploma after university.Their most important purpose may be to experience university life.What is university? Which kind of people come there? etc are questions that they want to answer.

people in second life

The aim of the people in second life can be classified in three catagories.For the first category, we can say that people use it just for fun.I have just met someone in secondlife.He is from Romania and said that he use it just for fun.For the second category, people use it for meeting new people.Another people I have just meet said that she wanted to find new friends.So, she uses second life for it.For the third and last category, people use it as a tool of practising your english( just like me) or another language.

My selected Picture is in a place where I want always to see. If you ask why, I can say that the three colours is in harmony each other. Those are gren, blue and brown. Those colours bring my mind always the nice things.For example, gren is peace, blue is freedom...
Anyway, I am in a stage for seing the scenery more easily. A huge tree in my left is vey nice. In my right, thre is a big painting full with a lot of trees and bushes in green. In my front also, there is a great sea. It is very beautifull full with blue. The floor is all Brown. Also, there is some small balls, blue and pink, around me. In fact, They are a symbol of love, small hearts. Thet can be seen as a ball from far, but they are small hearts. So, you can name this place as a garden of love.

MY FAMİLY
Hi! Everybody,
This week, I want to mention about my family. Maybe, there is somebody knowing that I have a large and crowded family. We are nine people in my own family.there are my parent, my three sisters, my three brothers and me. Also, we live together with my grandmother and grandfather, my father’s mother and father. That is, we are eleven people in only one home.Do yo agree with me? We are really a large family, aren’t we? If you ask how we live together, I can say that we have two for everything,kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, lavabo, living room etc. So, it doesn’t matter generally.
I want to say that there isn’t a large gap between our olds.For example, there is only one year between my biggest brother’s old and my biggest sister’s old. Like that, there is only one year betweem my old and my little brother’s old, too.So, I can say that we grew all together and we were child all a few years ago and now we are all young. It was difficult to understand each other when we were child .espeacially, I didn’t like my sisters and brothers when I was child. Because, I didn’t want to share my things with them, but I had to, like the others. So, we always had a fight together. But now, We are all young…and more than, we, four of seven siblings, are in various üniversity. My little sister became high school this year, also. Our least brother is in primary school.And, our biggest brother graduated from üniversity two years ago. So, we are all far away from each other. That is, we are different places in turkey. For example, I am in Ankara, my biggest sister is Manisa, my the other big sister is in Elazığ and my little brother is in Rize. So, I can say that we have a such longing that when we come hometown in holidays we don’t want to upset each other.
See you later!!!!
