.......
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.
