Outline

Thesis statement:Living in more places is a life style that everybody must have,compared with living in one place.

Reason for 1:It enables you know more people,different cultures and different life styles.

Reason for 2:It helps you learn to challenge with difficulties.

Reason for 3:It shows different sides of the life to you and thanks to this you achieve different perspectives.

Opponent's argument:Changing place isn't always better.If you live in one place you don't have to leave your family,you have permanent friendships and you encounter fewer problems.

Refutation of opponent's argument:Living with family may be good but you cannot live with them throughout your life.You have to leave.You can have many friends if you live in more places but being permanent of your friendships entirely depends on you not the place where you live.And also, life is full of problems.You cannot get rid of them -no way.So you have to learn to challenge with them by encountering them.

Which One?

We have to choose a transportation style while travelling.If we don't own a car, we choose the other ways such as bus or airplane.Airplane began to be chosen more widely thaan before.It is so fast that we can go somewhere only within 45 minutes by airplane while you go within 2 or 3 hours by bus.It is useful not to waste time.But it is more expensive than bus.So everyone may not use,for instance students such as us.Also it isn't easy to go everwhere by airplaane but bus is so common that it can be used everywhere.Also everyone may not use this transportation style,that is airplane, such as people who have height phobia.Finally, which one is better is changeable according to the person.

Two Places



This week, I visited two places in SL.I don't remember what their names are but I shared of their photos.As you see, both seem very nice.They have both similarities and differences.
Firstly I would like to talk about the snowy one.This place I went is in the winter now.Everywhere is snowy.There are a lot of trees and they were decorated with various things and different colored lights.I think it is Christmas time.A Santa Claus is sitting in front of the house.There is a fire and a few things to sit.Also there is a gate and it was decorated with some flowers.It seems very nice.
Let me talk little about the other picture,also.Unlike the other one, this is full of greens.Everywhere is green.I think it is in the spring now.There are colorful trees which contain pink,blue,orange,etc.There are two places such as camellias and chairs under them to sit and relaw.This is a perfect place to relax.Behind these camellias, there is a lake or sea, I don't know.This is the place that green and blue meet.
Consequently, they are very nice.I liked them very much.Luckily,I went to these places.

My Pride

I would like to talk about somebody in my family whom I am proud of; my father.He is a father that everyone will eant to have.
Actually I can't get along with my father very much though it seems contrast.Maybe as I have features like his. we can't get along well.
He says himself that he is a way-out person.Especially he was so when he was a child.He has encountered many problems since his childhood.When he was a child. he lived in a village.His father,my grandfather,didn't want him to go to school.He wanted him to work for village and their home.But my father didn't want it.And he secretly entered into two exams and he won both of them.But his father didn't want him to go again.But my father didn't listen to his words and went to the school.he finished that high school though his family couldn't send much money to him.Thanks to my father, his other five brothers,my uncles, could go to school.If my father had listened to his father's words, none of them would have gone to school.In terms of this,my uncles should be proud of their brother.
As soon as he finished the school, he married with my mother with the pressure of his family.But he encountered some problems with his family about his marriage.But he overcame those.And he began to work.
After he had married, he completed his two years education of university.he has developed himself so that I am thinking now that he can do everything.He has been interested in both sports and music.He himself has learnt to play the instrument.He himself has learnt to use the computer as if he had learnt it with the help of a course or a teacher.He knows almost everything a computer but unfortunately, he is an internet addict now.
In short,I am lucky to have such a father.I admire his love of education.He wants us,me and my brother, to complete our education before eveything.He says he has nothing to hand down us except to enable us to complete our education.He wants it more than us.So we try to satisfy him and do our best.

A Story

It was a sunny day.We were all excited.Because we were looking forward to this day for a long time.All friends met before graduation party.There were a lot of people around.But there was a problem with us.One of our friends,Ceren, was very snobbish and she was always talking about the prize which she thougt she would take.She was very confident.She told us about it and she always said she deserved it most throughout the year.We got bored of that.And there was another girl who really deserved that prize.But she was very humble.She never talked about the prize.When it was time to announce the owner of the prize, there was a big silence in the hall.And the man said the other girl’s name.We were happy because she really deserved it.But we could see Ceren’s disappointment.And after that day we called Ceren and we said we were sorry for her.But surprisingly she congratulated the other girl on her success.Since then they became good friends.Ceren became more humble thanks to this event.

Internet Addiction

Internet is an indispensable part of our lives.And its important is increasing day by day in our lives.Even it can cause an addiction for someone.
Some people use it excessively while others use it just to do necessary things.People who use it excessively are probably addict.They spend most of the day with it.When it isn't they can't be comfortable and they feel lack.They do their works with it if there are,they control their mails,they follow the news,they chat with their friends,they play games or many things like these.They are never fed up with it while using.For instance,I have a teacher who is probably an addict.He says that he spend 12-14 hours a day-as a matter of fact he spends 2 or 3 hours on the road,and probably spends the rest time by sleeping:)I wonder what he does or what he finds to do.Whatever he does if somebody spend so much time with it, he will absolutely fed up with.So I am surprised by this situation.
Actually,I am an addict,too.But as I see such people like my teacher I am thinking that I am not an addicted.I just use a little more it.I hope it won't turn into an addiction.
Consequently, internet is a beneficial thing but if it isn't used excessively.

Our House


This week, we built a house with my friends as a group.Each of us had a different duty.Firstly, a friend put the floor.And then, me and 3 others put the walls on it.We chose a colour for the walls.Then some friends tried to do some furniture and put it in the house.And finally, a friend put the roof and we did it red.And our sweet house appeared.

Extract of BLEAK HOUSE

Fog is everywhere.Fog is up the river, where it flows among green 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 on the 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,who are wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog is in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper,it is down in his close cabin; fog is cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little 'prentice boy on deck. Chance people on the bridges are peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of fog, with fog all round them, as if they were up in a balloon and hanging in the misty clouds.

Groups Of Students

METU is such a big place as a university that you can see many different types of students.But if it is necessary to categorize these students we can say two groups basically:Turk students and foreign students.When we analyse these we can see many groups among them.For instance, there are groups of students who came here just to have a good career in future.There are some groups who want to benefit from the oppotunities of METU.And there are some groups who can accomplish both of them together.There are other groups having different features.But it is difficult to limit it.So, I can say these generally.

Secon Life's Purposes

I asked some people why they use secondlife.I can divide into three groups these purposes according to their answers.
When I asked it somebody first time,he laughed at this question.I was surprised it.But he and a few others said that they use it to enjoy.Namely, they use it as they just like it.For the second group can be said that they use it for having friends or meeting new people.And the last one can be said that they use it as they are alone.Namely,they use it to talk people, not to get bored or spend time.
In conclusion, people use it for different purposes.But everybody whom I talked like using it.

Just A Fear

This is a more diffcult topic for me than the others:No topic.Because I am a rather undecided person and this makes my business difficult.However, I'll try to do somethings.
I would like to talk about my fears,in fact, one of those:Animals.When heard first time it looks a normal thing or comic.Because many people can be afraid of animals.But they are probably afraid of definite animals or only wild animals.But I'm afraid of all animals without exception.I can never touch them.Even,I can't touch a fish if it is alive.When I touch an organism apart from a human being, I feel disgusting.A bird can seem so sweet, but if it is far, not close.Especially cats frighten me much.I feel as though they jumped on me when it is near me.They are so dreadful most times.
The interesting part of these or my fear of animals, my father is a veterinarian, also even my brother is studying veterinary.It is really strange to be afraid of animals in such a family.But I'm afraid.Actually I haven't a bad memory about an animal.I don't know why I am so.I hope I can overcome this fear with my father and brother's efforts,however, they don't do anything:)

Time to rest...



This is one of the places which I saw while wandering.I came to this place and I admired it.Because there is an exellent atmosphere here.This small lake and the small house on it give piece of mind and let rest me.Also there is a waterfall which adds a different beauty to here.I think this small house must be a resort.And if somebody goes there,he or she will absolutely rest with the landscape and great voices of nature thanks to animals living there and swimming in the small lake.And finally, trees combine with greens and this great landscape emerges.

A Friend:)

The topic we have to write about is a difficult one for me.Because I can't decide about whom I'll write.However I have to choose one.
I would like to mention about a friend from high school.She is Fato.In fact,her name is Fatmagül, but we call her "Fato".I met with her at 10. grade.The beginning of our friendship,in fact, wasn't nice.
I went that school from another school.Namely,I changed my school at 10. grade.My first friend was her there.But after some time I thought we wouldn't get along with each other.The end of that year,we quarrelled so violently.That wasn't fight, but it was so serious.I got so angry.The first year of our frienship finished this way.The later year we didn't talk so much.Namely, we saw each other only when we needed something.That year finished this way,too.But last year,that is, at 12. grade.She wanted to stay with us,that is, in the same room with me.I accepted her.And we began to stay in the same room.So, our frienship started exactly.We were together during 24 hours everyday.The same class,the same room,the same course...We noticed that we had had prejudice about ourselves.We began to get along with each other so well that our friends were surprised.
She is in Amasya now.However we are at different places we are still friends.I was sad when I heard she couldn't gain the exam.But a few days ago, she said she will go to hatay for university and this pleased me very much.
In conclusion she is a part of my life now and will be.I think this is enough.I feel talking nonsense.Well then I must stop talking:)I hope you 'll enjoy reading.

Introduction

Hi!
I'm Büşra Çalışıcı.I'm from Samsun.But I came from Amasya,that is, my family live there now.I graduated from Bafra Kızılırmak Anatolian Teacher Training High School.I lived in dormitory when I was at high school.So, I had no difficulties getting used to life here.Even I can say I have been aware of my freedom and I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can do.But I have some difficulties getting used to school and lessons.I have sometimes difficulties understanding things that teachers mentioned.But I have to get used to these how difficult they are.Because it is worth METU.However this university was not my dream for university, I'm happy to be here.Finally, my expectations from this course is to improve my writing skill.I don't know how it affects my reading but I think it will improve,that is, I hope so.And with this course I think I'll improve my knowledge about computers.Because I'm not good at using computer.But in this course I have to do.For now I can say these.See you next week...
