FORBİDDEN SİTES

Sometimes we are searching something on online, we are encountering some sites which are banned by government.We cann't enter it.I think it can be fair to forbid some sites.Because they can contain immoral things which we encounter suddenly.And also they may be have virus so we cann't protect our computer when we enter it.But there may be some sites which are banned due to political reasons like YOUTUBE.I think banning sites should be arranged some regulation.So people can decide whether it is fair or not.

Downloading MP3 and Films

We are using internet for a lot of things such as doing homework or downloading films.But there is an argument about using internet for downloading films and MP3 without paying any money.Some people say it is very normal on the other hand other people say it isn't ethic.I think it is very common and normal.
The costs of albums and films are too high to buy them for many people.So they use internet to reach them.For example:As a student I downloaded films and MP3 for many times.Because I cann't afford buying orjinal films.And also we can reach them via internet easily.
Furthermore it is such a common event that many people don't know it is an illegal action.They don't see it is unfair and illegal.Because they aren't warned.
On the other hand according to some people,the one who downloads MP3 and films via internet is a labour thief. Also they say downloading films and MP3 without someone's permission and paying money is unfair and immoral.
I think ıf costs of the films and mp3 weren't over higher than real value,much more people could afford buying them and there could be some warning about it.

Downloading MP3

Thesis statement:Downloading MP3 and films without paying money is a common event that we encounter everyday.Athough it isn't moral and fair,we can say that a lot of people think it is acceptable. I think it is very beneficial.
Supporting Sentence:Costs of films and albums are very high for many people so they can't afford buying them .
Supporting Sentence:We can reach them easily via internet that's why it is much easier to get them by downloading.
Opposing Sentence:There are also some people who think that it isn't ethic and unfair to downloading them without permission and paying money.
Refutation of opinions argument:If their costs were cheaper,there wouldn't be so many people who do such a thing.

Literature

We are all taking literature lessons compulsory.But to be honest,I can't say I like it so much.I'm sure all of my friends agree with me.Although all of us try not to miss this lesson and come to the lesson regularly,we aren't voluntary to take this lesson.There may be some people who say literature will sophisticate us.They may be right but there is a real that indicates that we aren't succesful how much we spend time to study it.Probably it is due to memorizing literature.So I think it should be elective not compulsory.

Right to Die

Euthanasia which means killing people because of their incurable illness is very unacceptable I think.Unfortunately,euthanasia is a diffucult problem that is facing society.So there are some different views about it.Some people think it is the best way to end such people's lifes on the other hand some people see euthanasia as a crime,too me.
Supporters of euthanasia say that medical costs are very high.Although they are right,something can be done to solve this problem.For example;we can found a charity instutions especially for this patients.Furthermore the govenment shold help patients relatives and the cost of medicals can be more cheaper for those people.
One the one hand there can be a hospital and voluntary doctors and nurses who care for the terminally ill patients.Thanks to this way,we can reduce their relatives charges.
Finally they say the patient have no chance of recovery.I don't believe this.If a person killed the loved one,how chould be sure whether he/she would be improved or not.If I killed my one of the relatives because of such a thing I would never forgive myself and I would think this everyday.
In conclusion although they are terminally ill they are alive.We don't have right to kill them as long as thet breathe.

ARGUMANTATIVE STATEMENT

Thesis statament:We should have a suitable job which enables us to spare time to spend with our family and friends.
Reason for 1:If we work so much time,we can't spend any time with our children.We can't care for them properly.
Reason for 2:We can't keep up with world events and we will be workaholik.
Reason for 3:Earning too much money isn't enough to be happy alwasy.
Opponent's argument:To keep good life for our family,we must earn a lot of money and so we should have a job with high-paid.Thus we should work so much.
Refutation for opponent's argument:Yes we should good life for our family but it isn't necessarily mean that we should spend our all time our jobs.So we arrange them carefully.

Which lesson

In this week we discussed advantages and disadvantages of lessons told in traditionally way and online.Lessons in traditionally is more efficent and useful for students because students can ask their questions immediately.Then students can learn cooperate with each other.Furthermore there is no disturbations.But sometimes this lessons can be more boring so children don't want to listen their teachers.On the contrary the lessons in the traditionally,online lessons are more entartaining.Students can listen thier lessons whenever they want or they can listen their lessons n and again however ther may be some disturbations.For example students can play games online instead of listening thier lessons.In the end we all made a decision.We think both of them should be in lessons so in this way lessons can be entartaining and useful.

We went to two different place.Firstly,I went to a shopping centre.It is very big and it is three stored.The most amazing thing there is a big aquarium.There are a big turtle and some blue fish.A cinema and an ATM are there.On the wall,a lot of advertisement are there.On the contrary the second place I went to a holiday resort near the beach.Our flag is there and an USA 's flag.A big house which is a duplex and also a few house are there.In outside there are some tables and chairs to take a rest.

My Most Terrible Night

When I was at high school,I didn't go to school to study for an exam which I would take in the following day.But I couldn't work until the night .I had always postponed to study later and later.When I had begun to study it had been 22.00.So I had started to feel nervous because that exam was really important for me.Then I had studied the whole night and just slept for 3 hours. When I went to school,I learned that the exam had been cancelled because of our teacher' illness.It was very irritating for me to learn this after such a terrible night.

23.11.2009

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.

Computer Addiction

Nowadays,technology is improving day by day.That's why technical tools have an important role in our lives.One of the most important and indispensible devices is computer.But it has also some advantages and disadvantages.Addiction to computer is becoming more common.While it helps us to do our jobs easily and it enables us to communicate with other people it is also dangerous for our health.Sometimes people waste their times online carelessly.So they don't do their works on time.They don't keep up with the real world.
However we should admit that it is a part of our lifes although it has a lot of disadvantages.So We should carefull while we are using it.We shouldn't addict to it.

In our lesson in this week we learned how to we build an house in secondlife.Firstly we choosed an area then we arrenged the size of the floor.Later we selected the sizes of the walls according to the floor.But while we were creating the roof, there was a disagreement between us about the shape of it.In the end we choosed elliptical roof.Furthermore we arrenged the walls' colours.They were brown and the roof was green and also we made a black door.

Charles Dickens

Fog is ewerywhere.Fog is up the river,where it flows among green aits and meadows;fog is down the river,where it rollls defiled among the tiers of shipping and the waterside pollutions of a great and dirty city.Fog is on the Essex marshes and 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 dropping on the gunwales of barges and small boats.Fog is in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners,wheezing by the firesidess 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 pinhcing the toes and the fngers of his shivering little apprentice boy on deck.People having chance on the bridges is peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of fog ,which is all around them as if they were up in a balloon and were hanging in the misty clouds.

Second Life

Many people use second life.It is common for not only child but also for adults.Generally,for child it is just a game.Not no more than for them.But for adults, it is a device which enables them to communicate other people and to meet different people.So ıt is important for all of us.

Classification

There are a lot of people in METU.All of them are different from each other so all of them have different goals.But in general we can seperate them into two groups.First group consists of studious and responsible students who want to complete their univercity education with high degree.So they care for lessons and study hard.However they also have fun .They aren't asocial people.Second group consists of lazy and carefree students.Their only goals are to having fun and staying away from their families.Generally they don't ignore their lessons so generally they couldn't finish their education in four years. I think the best group is the first one. I want to be in this one because I want to have a good and meaningfull life.

In my life,one of the most important persons is my older sister,Selma.She is 25 years old.She is a Turkısh teacher in Turkmenistan.She is very clever and very beatifull.Whener I encounter any problem she always helps me to solve it.I learned a lot of thing from her like being patient and determined.While I was preparing for ÖSS she always stand me.Thanks to her help I reached my goals. So I am gratefull for her all my life.I love her.

depiction

It is a naturel place.I think ıt is very a wonderful area.There are palmiye trees and also there are two wooden hut.Also mountains are there.Furthermore there is a lake But it is very small. For
anyone who wants to relax and have a good holiday,this place is very suitable.I want to live there forever with my family and my friends.
