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 ............
