SITES CLOSED

Today, a lots of people can create sites easily and they can put what they want on the site. Sometimes they are benficial for us and everybody while some of them consists of inessential and harmful things. It is difficult to control all sites; so they are closed by government. I think that it is normal and true. Today,the most of children can use computer as you play with their toys and dolls and they can reach harmful sites and they learn bad things from them. Families don't always control their children. When children can't reach them at home, they go to internet cafes and they can do there. So, radical solution is to ban and close them.

TO COOK AT HOME

If somebody asked to me ''Do you prefer to cook at home or to eat out?'', I would say without hesitation ''I prefer to cook at home.'' because it is cheaper than to eat out. When we eat out , the price which we have to pay consists of ingredients' price and cooker's salary. Besides, sometimes we may have to tip waiter or waitress and they add profit to price. Hence, we have to pay more money than food's normal price. However, when we cook at home and eat our food, the food is costed little money for us and we spend less money.
Some restaurants have suitable prices and we don't have to tip. But in such restaurants, we don't know wheither the ingredients which are used in foods are healthy or not. Maybe , they may not be fresh.
In our country, fortunately, to tip waiter or waitress is not a tradition while in some country it is a tradition. Imagine that people around you look at you as if you were rude when you don't give tip.I think that it is very nonsense. When you cook at home, you give tip yourself.
Only when we are very tired and bored, we should eat out. If you save money, you should eat out very rarely besides never.

DOWNLOADING ILLEGALLY

To download films, MP3 without paying any money and to buy books less money shouldn't be viewed as stealing, in my opinion because they are very expensive and their values is under their real price. A lots of people can't afford them. Every people deserves to enjoy them, in fact, to buy books, to listen musics and to watch films. Before artists, singers and authors view piracy as stealing, they should think firstly that the prices of their works cheapen. All of them always say to pirates ''labor thiefs''.But they are wrong because they don't need money and they get money enough to maintain their life anyway. Moreover, they have luxurious lifes.
In our country , they are illegal to download films or MP3 via internet and to buy books pirately. However, they aren't followed sufficiantly to hinder them by authorities because our country has more important problems than them.

ARGUMANTATİVE PARAGRAPH-2

THESİS STATEMENT: To download MP3, films without paying any money or to buy books less money shouldn't be viewed as stealing.
SUPPORTİNG SENTENCE 1: The prices of films, CDs and books are very high.
SUPPORTİNG SENTENCE 2: Everybody doesn't have enough money to buy them.
OPPOSİNG SENTENCE 1: To download MP3, films and to buy books less money aren't legal in our country so illegal situations are crime.
REFUTATİON: Although they are illegal, they aren't followed regularly to hinder them by authorities.

LITERATURE COURSES

I think that literature shouldn't be must course, it should be elective course because literature can't be taught to students by force. Literature is taught willingly. Otherwise it becomes a torture for students. If a student doesn't like reading poems or books, literature is a ordinary course for him or her.He or she only wants to get a high grade and keep high his or her grade. However, if a student loves literature, it becomes a enjoyable course for him or her.He or she doesn't view it as memorizing certain things. He or she takes it willingly goes to the lesson fondly. Besides, when literature is must course, teachers feel that they have to make students memorize some things. Otherwise in the lesson, theachers do more enjoyable things. For example; they reads poems and discuss together on the it or they discuss on the common books which they read. The only worries of students don't become to get high grade in the exam. They learns great works and their authors, poets in that way; not by force.
We took literature as must course in high school and we had to memorize the names of authors, poets and their works. Yet, I can remember none of them today. I am certain that the most of us can't remember.Literature can be taught by reading, not memorizing.Therefore, literature's being must course doesn't help students learn their authors, poets and works which belong to their culture; on the contrary it causes that students hate literature.

EUTHANASİA AS MURDER

I think that euthanasia is just a murder. Not to let somebody who is able to breathe live is a murder, not something else. Whatever reason there is, every person has right to live and we can't take this right from his or her hands. That medical costs are very high don't become a reason because everybody does his or her best for her or his loved one. Even though he or she doesn't have money necessary to discover his or her patient, he or she try to find that money. Somebody's life can't be compared with money definitely. Only thing we should do is to do our best. Absolutely, there is a solution. However, to kill is not a solution.
As we can see the example in the text, maybe they are able to survive for a while. The girl mentioned in the text died but she was able to breathe on her own for nine years.I think that every disease on the earth has a solution and they can be cured.I think that there is no incurable disease on the world. Only problem is that science hasn't found a solution for it yet. However, science is improving more and more and I am sure that incurable diseases will become curable ones one day thanks to science. The most of disaeses which couldn't be treated in the past can be treated today. The desaeses which can't be cured today will be cured in the future. I believe that by all my hear.If the girl's family had waited for more a little time, maybe the girl might have lived today.
We haven't been given the right to take somebody's life by God. God gives life to people and only God takes their lifes.We can't that and we shouldn't do anyway.

ARGUMANTATIVE STATEMENT

Thesis statement:We should cook at home to spend less money.
Reason for 1: Cooking at home costs less money than eating out.
Reason for 2:Sometimes we may have to give tip to waiters.
Opponent's argument:Some restaurants have really very suitable prices and if you don't want to, you may not give tip.
Refutation of opponent's argument:The restaurants that have suitable prices may not use fresh vegetables and fruits.

LESSONS İN TRADİTİONAL WAY OR ONLİNE LESSONS

If we ask students and teachers about lessons in traditional way or online lessons, they choose the latter as far as I can guess. They think that online lessons are more profitable and practicable. Actually, I agree with them in terms of this situation. Students and teachers can reach more information thanks to computer, in fact, internet.They can spend less time and gain time in their lessons, maybe because of this, they can learn more things.Students can surrender their homeworks to their teachers via internet. Students can see on the monitors of their computers topics which their teachers teach them.We know that learning by seeing is helpful for students. This is a proven truth scientifically.However, there is no writing in online lessons.Everything is written while we learn something in lessons.However, in my opinion, we can learn something by writing more easily.I think that writing is more effective than seeing in terms of learning.If we write what we are learning, we can revise them and we can understand the topic more quickly.In tradational way, lessons are told face to face.We can see our teachers' faces and they can see our faces.We can see our teachers' frowning, smiling, gestures.
Actually, there are schools where there is no desk, chair and schools which is heated with stoves.So it is nonsense for me to discuss this subject while the conditions of these shcools can't be done better.

TO COMPARE AND TO CONTRAST TWO PLACES

We have gone to two places in second life.Actually,I think that they are very different from one another.They have very few similarities between them. I think that first place is a shopping place.There are a lots of shops there.It is a covered place. There are a lots of pictures on walls in first place. As far as I could wander in it, I saw three small boxes.Two of them are police boxes, but I didn't understand what the other box is.In first place, there is a big aquarium and there is a big creature, several fishs inside it.It has three floors, so there are stairs in first place.
Second place is a open place unlike the first place, So it is a spacious one while the first place is a depressing one.Second place is near the sea, so it has seascape. There are several pictures like the other place. There are a lots of trees there. There are five flags which belong to different countries.There are armchairs and chairs to be sit down.There are several shops like the other place. Also in second place, there is a small box, too.However, I didn't understand what it is. There is a swing in second life.So, second place may be a park according to me.Consequently, the most important similarity between them is that they are the places where people go in their spare time.

MY SECOND CARELESSNESS

One of my friends in high school studies in METU. We studied together in high school for four years.Unfortunately, we couldn't come together since we came in Ankara. So she insisted on my coming her house consistently. At last, I accepted her offer not to break her heart and because we couldn't come together for a long time and I went to her house at a weekend. I stayed in her house for a day.We had a great time together. But, I left from her house to go to my dormitory because I had some homeworks to do.Also I would stop off the market to buy some needs.I knew that I would be asked my student identification card at the entrance to come in the campus.Because my hands would be full of bags after I came in the market,I took my student identification card out of my wallet before I enter into the market and I put it in the pocket of my coat.When I came at the entrance, I controlled my pocket but it wasn't in it.In the meantime,the charged person at the entrance said to me that he knew me and I could come in without showing my student identification card.Of course, I got irritated more this situation.Besides, I felt like stupid. Because that was the second time I had lost it. In the first time, I found it but this time I couldn't. Moreover, I couldn't mention my parents about it.I don't think that I will be able to mention them about it later, too.I don't want to hear from them how stupid I am.And I know that I will be more careful with my belongings especially with my student identification card. Otherwise I will jump into sea.

THE STORY

It was a snowy day in december.George, jazz musician , was bored so much and he decided to go out for looking a gift. While he was looking for something in a shopping mall, he found a identification card on the floor. He thought it was fallen by some one. He made the name on it announced in the shopping mall. It belonged to a girl whose name is Angela. The girl came near George to take her identification card.They met and Angela thanked him. Angela offered going to cafe to show her gratitude.They drank coffe together and they talked about everything.George liked her so much and he invited her to his concert. She accepted his invitation. But she went there with her boy friend.George shocked when he saw them. George’s hopes fell through.He went on his mundane and boring life.

INJUSTICE

Everybody experiences an injustice in his life. His or her parents may favor his sibling.His teacher may be interested in his friends. In a work place, a worker may be paid more money than the other. If you are in Turkey, you are exposed more injustice. And, unfortunately, you can't do anything except for being just an onlooker. Beacause they are strong and can do everthing they want. Moreover, nobody say anything.Like a Turkish proverb, they think that ''The snake which have touched me live for one thousand years.'' And we always keep quiet. We say ''God sees everyting.We square accounts with them in the other world.''
But I want to say to them ' don't be quiet, as long as you are quiet, next one will become you.' Please, everybody search his right and support those who search their right.
I hope that your horizons, in fact, your point of views are as wide open as sky.

BUILD A HOUSE

Firstly, we tried to build a floor. And then we made four wall. We built a roof which is elliptical.And then we created a door which is black. After we built the house, we decided what colour our house is. We painted the walls brown and we painted the roof green and then we painted the door black. It may look easy to you. But we built the house from small boxes. So it was difficult. Our house doen't look wonderful. Because it is first attempt fou us. I hope that we will build a palace second time.

LONGİNG FOR HOMETOWN

You live there during all your childhood. You go to school there first time. You play hide and seek with your friends there. Your family, your first friends, your classroom teacher, maybe your teachers in high school, in fact, all the people whom you love are there. The house in which you were born, the streets where you play, the friends with whom you play are there. Because of all these reasons, you know every roads, every streets, every house, every pavement, every person of your hometown. It looks as if the people in your hometown were your family. It is not important that your hometown is the most big city or a village.But you get fed up with it. You are there for almost fifteen maybe for more years. You want to see anywhere else and you want to live in anywhere else. When one day comes, you have to leave your hometown in any case. Maybe you have to leave your family behind you. You have to struggle against life by yourself far away your hometown.Then, you long for your hometown. Because the places which you hate in your hometown is better than the places which you don't know for you. Like the nightingale in a Turkish proverb, you always say 'Ah my hometown vah my hometown'

CHARLES DİCKENS-PARAGRAPH 2

There is fog everywhere.Fog is up the river where flows among greeen aits and meadows; fog is down the river where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great and dirty city.Fog is Essex marshes, fog is on the Kentish heights.Fog is creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog is lying out on the yards and hovering in the rigging of great ships; fog is drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats.Fog is in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners,wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog is in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper, who is down in his close cabin, fog is cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little apprentice boy on deck. People who have chance on the bridges are peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of fog,which is with fog all round them, as if they were up in a balloon and were hanging in the misty clouds.

TO CLASSİFY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

    We can classify university students according to a lot of things. For example , according to their ages, their departments, their years, their hometowns, their genders, whether they are social or not, whether they go to university in first attempt, whether they study hard or not. If we classify them according to their departments, they divide into a lot of categories.Firstly, we classify them according to faculty. For example, education faculty, medicine faculty, science and literature faculty, engineering faculty etc...And then, faculties divide into departments within them. For example, in education faculty, there are engilish teaching, classroom teaching, mathematics teaching etc.. 

ABOUT SECOND LİFE

I could ask several people 'Why do you use second life?' .Only one person answered me . He said to me ' I enjoy it.' The other people whom I asked couldn't speak English.So they didn't answered my question. Rather, they couldn't answered it. But,as far as I understand, they use second life for fun and making some friends. Maybe, some of them use second life to improve their english like us or any other language they are learning newly.

A PİCTURE FROM PARİS

A picture in Paris Eiffel. I think that it is a amusement park. There is a merry-go-round in the picture. But there isn't anybody who rides on merry-go-round. It is in a stony place and it overlooks the sea. It brings to one's mind one's childhood firstly when looked. Because people usually go to a merry-go-round in their childhoods. Most of children want to go there to ride it. All children in the word want to go amusement park even first time in their life. Actually, even adults especially those who coudn't go in their childhoods wish that they went there.Because amusement park provides people to forget their trouble for a while. In fact, I went to amusement park a few times in my childhood. So I sometimes get upset. I wish that I had gone more times. So I advise children to go there as many times as they want to go before they grow up.Because it may be sometimes late for some things.

TOGERHER AT ONE TİME

When we finished first classin high school, we chose our department. I chose foreign language department and I met new friends. I met my best friends at that time.The names of my best friends were Tuğba and Ayşe.
Firstly, I met Tuğba. Tuğba is a slim and blonde girl. She is a bit taller than me. She generally bends her head since she doensn't feel sure of herself. She is so bashful. While she speaks or tells someting. she gets excited.So she speaks flatteringly and generally forgets what she will say. She can't remember the most simple word easily. One day,she coundn't remember orange. According to me, she isn't self confident so she is in difficulty while speaking. But we had a lot of common direction. So we got along together quite well.
Ayşe, the other my best friend, is a beautiful girl. She has curly hair. She has dark blıu eyes. She is brown haired. She is a joyful girl. She is very emotional.While entering the summer, she always cried because we didn't see one another during the summer. But she is very funny and she always jokes. She always maked us laugh.
Although we had a lot of things together, we finished our friendship.So we don't talk each other.I understand after that friendship that the closest people to you is just your family. I advise not to believe anybody except yourself and your family.

INTRODUCTION

My name is Sinem. My last name is ATEŞ. I am eighteen years old. I graduated from Şehit Abdülkadir Kılavuz Anatolion Teacher Training High School in Uşak. I have an older sister. She studies classroom teaching in Dokuz Eylül University. My father is a retired classroom teacher. My mother is a housewife. They live in Uşak.
METU was my second choice in ÖSS and YDS. My first choice was Boğaziçi University. I wanted to go Boğaziçi University so much. Because I wanted to see İstanbul and live in İstanbul. Moreover, I wanted to study there as it is a good and historical university. Besides, it is one of the best university. But my score wasn't enough for it. So I am here and I am delighted with METU.
I have stayed in Faika Demiray dormitory for almost thirteen days in Ankara. This is the first time I have stayed in a dormitory and this is the first time I have been away from my family. But I am getting used to stay in the dormitory and I am getting used to be alone. In fact, I have to do. Because tis is my choice , it is my dream to study in university and improve myself. Because I don't want to to be an ordinary person. I know that I succeed in this by coming METU. But it is difficult to live in Ankara for me since Ankara is a bigger city than Uşak. In Ankara, life condition is more expensive. Moreover, there is a trafic density as Ankara is a crowded city. So trafic in Ankara is always congested and transportation is very slow. But there are good things in Ankara. For example, people in Ankara are very helpful. On the other hand , you can find easily what you want to buy.
I am bad at writing in English and reading English .You can see how I am bad at writing with this assignment. Because we didn't practise writing and reading in high school.In fact, I am a forgetful person. Although I am good at memorizing words, I am not able to remember the most simple words. Because my memory is very poor. But I hope that I will be able to improve myself about writing and reading thanks to this course.I believe that I will do my best for this. I think that the most important thing is word for being able to write. So we can do anyting to improve our stores of word.

My name in second life is Sinem Andretti.
My name in tapped in is SinemA.
