FREE DOWNLOADİNG

We have right to download MP3s, films and other programs from the Internet, because the cost of the cds and films is too high for us and we cannot afford buying them. And although the cost of them isn't so high, we are taking them higher than their cost because of duty. Furthermore even if we download them, the singers and producer make profit them. But some people think that even though cds and films' cost is high for us we shouldn't download them and we should wait and listen or watch them radio or tv. But if we are poor and don't take them, what can we do? Should we wait? I think if they don't care whether we can take them or not, we can download them. Maybe if they sell us them a fair price, we can take them and we won't download them. I hope we don't need download them and we can take anything we want.

EUTHASANIA

There are some people who can't live a normal life, they are incurable patients so they must be alive with support machines but some people think if doctors think that a patient can't recover, doctors can kill them. But I think neither doctors nor patients' families don't have the right to kill patients. The first reason is that maybe the patient doesn't want to die, he or she wants to live. The second reason is that a patient may recover even though she or he is incurable patient. And the last one is a patient who is even in coma can feel everything and know what happens so I think we should give chances them to live and we should't be in support of euthasania.
We are in METU and we have two types of course. One of them is must courses and the other one is elective courses.But we find some courses hard and we want that this courses can be elective courses. One of them is literature and according to me literature should be elective in our first year in the university. Of course, there are many students who want to take this course but at the same time we come to university this year and we don't know how we can be succesful in this course. For so many students, literature is a hard lesson and unnecessary, in addiction to this some student don't even like Turkish literature. I think we should take this course but not this year, because we are strange to this course and there are too many words in poems that we don't know. This course can be must course in our second or third year but ıf a student wants to take this course in his or her first year, of course she or he can take this. Finally, literature is a difficult course and should be elective course.

Online education or face to face education

Should education be online or face to face? Of course, both of them can be beneficial for a student but I think education in traditional way is more appropraite for pupils because in online education a child can't concentrate on his or her course. But some children may be succesful in online education. In fact, it depends on the learners so some children choose online education but the other choose face to face education. Each of them has advantages but in the same time they have disadvantages. For example in face to face education if a student doesn't love his or her teacher, he or she can't be succesful. On the other hand in online lesson a child can abuse it for instance, he or she doesn't interest in his or her lesson instead of this he or she can chat in internet and he or she can fall behind his or her friends. As I say it depends on children. I think the education should be mixture of them, in this way all children can benefit this.

I walked around the each places in the SL and there are too much differences between these places, at the same time there are few similarities. Firstly, both of this place have modern furnishings and they are wide and comfortable places. First place is, I think, a shop center and there is a aquarium in the middle of it, second place is a seaside resort and there are too much furnishing to rest but first place hasn't got furnishing to rest but there are some furniture which is sold. The first place is triplex flat but the second place is like a holiday village which has a good view.
The first place has many trees and rocking chair to feel relax. In the second place there isn't any tree and rocking horse but the aquarium feels relax and some different animals make an affect to feel you comfortable.

One day, when I was seven years old I and my family went to the picnic and my uncle and his children came with us. We, children, began to play a dangerous game. We tried to jump a wall but we didn't jump because we were small and short but one of the son of my uncle was taller than us and while he was trying, he achieved this and he jumped over the wall. We were shocked and we began to run to see what happened to him.He falled the nettle and began to cry. My family and my uncle came and they removed him from the bushes. His skin turned red and he began to scratch. We were sorry for him but on the other hand we were smiling because he underestimated us and he said to us that I would do this better than you and of course he did this better than us:D

Internet addictions

I'll talk about the internet addictions. I can't understand internet addictions because I think it isn't logical to spend more than one hour in a day in internet. Of course sometimes you can spend two hours in a day but it should be limit for people. According to me talking with my friends is better than chatting in fact sometimes watcing tv is even better than internet. There are many options to internet for example you can go cinema, read book, wander around with your friends etc. But addictions can't see the other things apart from the internet and as a result of this they come across some problems for instance addictions' families gets angry when he or she spends too much time in the internet. Maybe he or she can spend a few time in the internet both he or she and his or her families will be more happy and the adddictions wiil have more leisure time to do anything in their life.

First of all, we made floor and we tried to make floor a square. And then some of us made the walls but it was't easy for us so our walls weren't straight. But we tried so much. We made the house but we didn't like this so we made it again. After that, we tried to make roof but we didn't know how we could it so the roof were something different. Finally we tried to paint walls and roof but we didn't choose a colour and the walls of house were different each other neverthless, we could paint some walls. I think this house were strange but we made it ourselves and it is important.

Charles Dickens

It is London and today is Michaelmas term. Lord Chancelor is sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall. The weather is a typcial November weather and there are too much mud in the streets of London. Smoke is lowering down from the chimney-pots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes. In the streets, the dogs are indistinguisible in mire and the horses are scarcely splashed to their very blinkers. Foot passengers are jostling one another's umbrellas in a general infection of ill temper and losing their foot-hold at street-corners. Tens of thousands of other foot passengers have been slipping and sliding since the day broke, sticking at those points tenaciously to the pavement.

I'll talk about universities' classification systems.The students in university can be classified different ways but in METU the students are divided into section accourding to their surnames' first letters.I think this way isn't so good. Because, I think the students can choose their class friends by themselves. The students in METU also can be categorized upon their ages, genders or their departments. As I know some universities use distinct ways. For example, in Ege university studens are classified accourding to their scores. Maybe there are various ways for this but I don't know the other ways so there isn't anything I want to say. See you next week.

I talked with four people in SL and they use SL for different aims. This aims can be classified as this. First one is for fun. People in SL want to enjoy talking with people and playing games. Second one is for meeting with new people and finding new friends and the third one is for learning different things from people in the SL and meeting new culturals. And the last one is for making girlfriends or boyfriends. In the other hand, some people don't know why they are in SL and they are only wandering and looking around them.

Hi friends,
In fact, I don't know what I mention now but I want to mention you my hobbies and phobias. First of all I mention my phobias. I have a bike phobia because when I was six or seven years old, I dropped from bike so I can't ride a bike. My another phobia is mouse. I think, although mouse is a small animal, it is disgusting. Now, I'll talk about my hobbies. I like to read history books and thriller books so much. I like to take photo, too but I don't like to take photo of mine so sometimes my friends get angry with me. I like to play backgammon with my sister and my sister's husband. That's all I want to talk about so see you later.

Description of my friend Nigar

Hi friends,
I want to mention you my high school friend Nigar. First of all, I want to depict her physical features and later I'll depict her mental features. She is too short but she is too slim so she doesn't seem overweighted. She is dark skinned so she look likes Brazilians. She has curly hair and jet black eyes. She is very cute and sympathetic. She is both honest and confidential friend for me so whenever I am upset, I call her and ordinarily, she listen my complaints. She is very charming and cheerful and she was our class' joy. She is in Marmara university now and I miss her too much.

Snapshot and it's description



Hi all,

I want to take photograph of this place because both sea and trees can be seen in this photo and I think this scenery is the best one in the Maldives. There are five cottages and all of them have furniture although they can' t be seen in this photo. In this photo, you can see palm trees which are very rare in our country. In addition to this, this place seems to be peaceful and comfortabe place. The sea is very clear to swim and the cottages are very suitable to stay in. Some of this cottages have balcony that is very large. And there are very clean beach. The most glorious thing in this photo is, I think, horizon because you can see it clearly.

See you later!!
