I went to jazz concert last weekend.It was performed in German Culture Center. It was very successful worth to watch.The group was consisted of three people.Tweo of them were men and Turkish,the other one was girl and German.They shared the instruments.Gökhan was playing string instruments,Murat was playing percussion instruments,Annete was playing wind instruments.They were very harmonious and impressive.Also they were very sympathetic toward us which,I think results from the majority of the group members being Turkish.The other thing that made the atmosphere really nice was Annete because she loves Turkey very much.Murat also enjoyed people there by making complicated explanitions about the instruments.All in all, it was a perfect performance and I hope they will come back.

Almost all of you have seen the snow.But I haven't seen untill last week. For I was born and lived in Aydın,I hadn't seen snow.So I was very suprised to see snow for the first time.It must really enjoyable to play with it.For example,I really want to make a snow man because I think that will make me feel relaxed.So I will make it soon:D:D:D

I want to mention about the group Bridge ,in Türkish Köprü.It is the group of the people who takes scholarship from İstanbul Metu Graduated Assosication.Actually It is a real bridge beetwen village schools and METU.Every year the bridge group sets a library to a village school and the following year the group takes some of the students in that school and makes them visit Metu and the other decided places.In that time ,every student has the right to choose his or her sister or brother among the bridge members.They have personal relationship.The group members explain all the things they want . It may be about life ,üniversity,dreams about everything.The main aim of this group is making the students eager to study.Because usually the students coming from such villages are weak_spirited and their families also dosen't want education.So the group members mostly tackle with it.

I hate the place of the Faculty of Education and especially FLD.They are in a very bad location and their architectures are very simple compared to other buildings in METU.As you know the education language is English.However,the importance given to FLD and the students of it is very little!We can understand it from that example.All the students in METU consider FLD students as lazy students.I think for that reason,It is located almost in Eskisehir:D:D:D And also I want to add sth ,İt is erected later so I feel our department marginalized...

Should students take all the courses regardless of their branch?I think both departmental and nondepartmental courses are important for our education.Firstly,we should take the courses that are related to our department.In other words,they are some parts of our professional fields and we have to take these courses to make a good job.Furthermore,we should also take some courses that may not be related to our department.Because,a person can never be a real profession without knowing sth different from his or her field.A person should be sophisticated.But both departmental and nondepartmental courses should be selective.Students should be free to attend to the courses.And they should be free to elect the optional courses.And the students in nondepartmental courses shouldn’t be responsible for the exams.I think only in that way can students be happy and successful in the courses.

A lot of researches have been done over years to determine the impact that various colors have on the human mind.I want to mention about some of them.Firstly,Blue has a cool,cleansed,calm,relaxed,hopefull affect.Because we always associate blue with the sky.So it makes us feel calm .Brown is a direct color of nature so it gives off an earthan earth that brings comfort and support.However,fans of brown are known to keep emotions to themselvesand retreat from fear of the real word.These people suffer from lack of self_worth.Orange is widely known as the attention grabber and the stimulator of the mind and the body..Orange is an antidepressant color that lifts the sprit by giving off feeling of security,warmth,joy,humourand independence.When it comes to purple,it is a color of mixed messages coming from both red and blue.Purple mostly associated with those who are sexy,powerfull,and sophisticated.The most powerfull color among all the colors is red because of its ability to stimulate the heart and blood circulation so that it raises heart rates.Studies show that people who like wearing red are ambitious and want things to happen as soon as they utter.They want to be best.Actually,if you make a habit of wearing red,it may indicate that you place importance on sexual desire and eroticism.

I was bored.I tried to enjoy by listening some music.And I put my headphone on ,wore my glasses , took a book and went out.I went to a park.There were flowers and the weather was nice.I saw a seat among the flowers.I sat on it and started to read my book.After a while ,I was engrossed.Just in that moment,my mobile phone rang.It was my friend .She asked where I was.When she learned that I was in the park ,she got crazy and said that she wrote on her notebook that we were planning to go to Metu.I was shocked to hear it and immediately I went back to my home and weared sth else.After I took my bag and computer with me,I was ready to meet with her.We met and set off together.Our aim was to see the Ufo in Metu which is a kind of museum that looks like an real Ufo.After a curious glance ,we entered it and walked in front of the things that are shown there accompanied by a slow music composed by trombones.Among the things we saw ,there were some pieces that took my attention.One of them was the wand headed with a mouse!And another one was a tool shaped in a baby that wears a coat while showing it is rainy.It was very amazing tool to use in weather reports.I want to say that it was very enjoyable to see

Do people fall in love in first sight? I think,they don’t.They are only affected by the beauty,so we can’t say that it is love in the first sight.Because ,for normal people love should be a very different thing that should cover beauty,ambition,amity .But in such situations ,you don’t know even the character of the person you see .So it can’t or shouldn’t be love………For example,when we see a handsome boy, we say ”oo he is very handsome and even feel sth special towards him.But after a while ,we see his some bad characteristic features and naturally we begin to feel cool towards him.So desire can’t come into being.With this example,I want to show you that in the first sight, the only important thing is external apperance.Without the other things that I said before ,it is impossible to love somebody sincerely.To sum up ,I don’t believe it so much……..

Praat is the program we use in our listening and pronounciation course and I hate it.It has prounciations and the diagrams of them.You have to do the most similar one to the diagrams.So It has the capacity to make people get crazy.It has so many bad sides in fact.For example ,you can struggle with it for 7 hours for only the assigment of a week.What's more ,even that time most probably you can't have good results.So it turns out to be a big failure.To make the matters worse,it doesn't make any good for us..Because as you know English doesn't have only one correct way of prounciation and along with this ,the difference between the voıce of men and women creates problem. And when all of these awfull things combine ,there occurs sth unbearable ............

This week I want to tell you our both thought provoking and funny experience on monday .We were neslihan helin and me.The day was normal untill the moment that we decided to go out for three things.The most important one was Neslihan's taking objection for the scholarship of Odtü.But there was a problem.We didn't know the exact time of closing of the office .Morever, we even didn't know the place of the office and we had to hurry.In this rush,we were looking for a person to ask the office .We decided on a boy but it was some kind of failure.Because he answered us by saying that '' I don't know Turkish ,I dooon't'' .After this reply we laughed for minutes.And then we tried to ask again ,but this time to a girl ( to make change:)) Surprisingly ,this girl was also foreign and she also answered us by saying'' I don't know Turkish ''. This time was also very funny.After that time we have begin to ask the questions to ourselves '' why can't we speak Turkish in our country with everyone '' and '' why they don't know any word of our language while living and studying in our country?''.And also I want to ask these questions to you ''why?????''..........................

One of the biggest problem of the world is undoubtly terrorism.The reason why we have such a problem as terrorism is obvious.The answer of it is the uneducated generation.Maybe you will say that our education system is good,at least it isn't so bad to make people terrorist.But it isn't effective actually.That is,we can't educate our students well.And they don't know the importance of the hometown.Most importantly, we don't see our country as a whole with the differences among the people in it.So terrorism can occur easily.Also one of the main reason for terrorism is the financial stiuation of the individuals. If it is good you can easily cope with the terrorism.Because in that case people won't fell the need to attend to the groups of terrorist.So initally we should solve the financial and educational problems of our country

To be a student in ODTU......It is really good.But sometimes you say that ''ooo is it ODTU'' that we desired for years and studied very much for ?Yes, actually it is ODTU .Especially when you are in the ring,the free bus in ODTU, you usually wish that you were in Hacettepe in stead of ODTU.Because you without exaggeration get into the bus like sardiness.And always there are some people who want to go to the departments afoot even near the bus door.And you start to get mad from this moment.What's more ,a bus driver always says ''hocaaaaaam butun kapılar aynı yere gıdıyooooooooo cık cık cık Allahım ''.That moment all the people laugh everytime this event takes places.The strange thing is the driver says the same all the time without any change . To make the matters worse,when you are waiting for the ring in the early hours of the morning, an old man shows three dogs around in the car everymorning .The irony is hier: we are as human being pinched with cold,the three dogs go to see the hood.It really offends me.One more thing that I want to add to these opprobrium is that I hate the people that pass in front of me while I am waiting for the ring.I think the best thing to say in this moment is ''parasızlıgın gözü kör olsun hocam''.So that's enough for ODTU.To sum up,it is very nice to be a student in ODTU inspite of all these funny things.

Many problems are facen with when learning a foreign language.Because of the differences between the languages , as learners of languages we have difficulties in understanding the rules and logic of languages.If you think for a while and ask the question that ''what kind of differences do people have? '', I can say many things.Firstly,there is a huge logic problem between the languages.For example,while some languages label things as female or male,others don't.Or while a language can call a crowd according to their having a man ,others don't.Morever,the generation of words changes according to the languages.Some of them generates words by adding appendix only to the end of the word.But some of them generates words by adding appendix both to the end of the word and beginning.The matters go so .Still, It is worth learning a language

Needless to say,teachers have an unbelievable effect on us both in good and bad way.Firstly;we can say that teachers are some kind of guides in our lives.They help us from the beginning of the education in schools to the higest level of learning.Morever;sometimes they can be more patient than all the other people in our life.Also ,because of us unfortunately they may be less interested in their own from time to time.Secondly,they are important in our life when defining our future or choosing our job or sth.like these.However;if we don’t love a teacher we will become cool towards the branch the teacher is interested in.So,while having capacity to achieve the goalsin the branch,we can tend to another branch which we can be less successful in.To make the matters worse;even we may not want to go school because of the teacher that we don’t love.To sum up I want to say that teachers are important to make a good decision in our life

It is very nice to be a student in a foreign language department.I don't know whether it is because I love to learn different cultures and languages or not.But I know that it is very different from the other branches.Because when you are learning a different language , also you learn a different culture and different people.Meanwhile,your culture improves.Because in such stiuations people don't care about their financial positions,jobs,political views etc.And it makes them communicate easily.Maybe I love that side of learning foreign language.To sum up ,everyone should learn at least one language to experience the beauty of it.

There are milions type of animals categorized scientifically in the world.But I want to make one more category in a unscientifical way.It is the category of the most intelligent and the funniest animal,monkeys.I think they are very funny.Because they act as if they were human and it makes me laugh very much.To make it clear, I want to share one of my experience about monkeys.When I went to Atatürk Orman Çiftliği, in Ankara , I gave bananas to two monkeys.They all took the bananas and the younger one ate it quickly.After that the older one took its banana and sat down crossing its legs , putting its hand on its head.And then ate its banana as if it wanted to make us jealous.And from that time I have begun to think that monkeys are intelligent animals.

Technology has changed our life so much.Especially,the internet has a huge effect on us.It has both good and bad sides in our life.In the good sides of internet, we can say the information we get through it.It gives us all the information we get from the books which are available in the whole world.Morever,from the facebook,in internet,we can find our ex friends and it makes us able to find new friends both national and international.When it comes to bad sides of internet,it makes people unsocial .For example;when doing an assigment collaboratively,people choose the internet instead of being together in a more social way.To makes the matters worse,people began to marry via internet.So the quality of marriage drops.For those things, we use it moderately not in a extreme way.

The students in METU know that every year,students in different places meet and become friends but under a speacialized name in METU.For example,ODTU MÜNAZARA TOPLULUĞU or ODTÜ TİYATRO GRUBU.Thus,everyone can find their different world in a one world.It is a very nice thing that should be in a universty like METU! The organiziations like those I said before make people more social and active.Meanwhile;we can achıeve our universities goal:a student both social and successfull.

I want to mentıon about the character in AVRUPA YAKASI Burhan.His character is very orginal. In my opinion,he actually does his job in the best way..He plays his roles as if they were real.Sometimes he feels his roles so deeply that I can't beleıve whether it is really or not.It is the key to success.As a result,he is the best among the players in Avrupa Yakası and I love him very much.

One of the most controversial issue in our day is the condition of our environment.Firstly I want to say that it really gets dirted.Step by step it will become unbearable to live in.To make the matter worse,we have done it.If we think for a while and ask''what we can for that ''to ourselves,we can find the answer ''being conscious about the environment''To sum up,we should educate our generation about it.So the alteration is our hand.if we change ourselves,it will change,too.
