Downloading MP3

Today we use Internet for lots of reasons.One of them is downloading mp3 from Internet.May be most of the time we use Internet for this reason.There is a discussion whether downloading mp3 from Internet is legal or not or should be lagal. According to our laws downloading mp3 isn’t permitted.But most of the people don’t obey this prohibition for some rightful reasons. Downloading mp3 from the Internet without giving money and to sell it isn't ethics. I accept.But I think downloading mp3 should be legal to some extent e.g If a student downloads mp3 just for listen, it shouldn't be illegal, because in this situation there is no aim to gain money Some people say it is illegal because it affects creators of the songs singers can’t earn any money.However they aren’t right totally they don’t think those who can’t buy original CDs.They only thing their money. In fact a singer doesn’t earn only from CDs they earn more from concert or advertisements.

Banninig Web Sites

Internet has became unseparetable part of our lifes.We can’t do anything without it. It has so much influence on children students young old men women,everyone.There is none who hasn’t used Internet.We can find in Internet everything we want either useful or not. Maybe these informations don’t reflect the truths because Internet is a place that everyone can put their opinions freely.The problem about closing web sites stars at that point. Some goverments ban web sites because of different reason e.g. bed influence on children or political reasons.In a society where free thinking is legal such prohibitions are illagel because banning web sites mean not letting free thinking. Their reasons to these outworn prohibitions are more absurd. They say they prohibited because those web sites aren’t appropriate for people’s moral and culturel tradition. To give decision for someone isn’t none’s business. Everyone can decide what is wrong and what is true. They should let them think freely.

Education Language

Is foreign language in education necessary? There has been a discussion why a foreign language especially English is necessary. English is a world language and its importance is getting increase day by day. Most of people use it as a second language and there are lots of people who try to learn it. In our country some in universities English is education language. I think this is not a good application. There is something wrong with this. Our language Turkish must be used as education language. Some people disagree with this idea. They say Turkish isn’t proper for education, we want to develop. English is world language so we must use it. I don’t think like that. Turkish is a extensive language and it can be a science language. I don’t say English shouldn’t be educated in schools, contrary English should be educated not to be back of the world. But it shouldn’t be education language. I believe that if education language was Turkish our success would be higher.

Right to Die

Do we have right to kill someone?Killing someone is illegal, isn’t it? Is euthanasia or mercy killing really mercy? Euthanasia has long been discussioned. I think euthanasia means killing someone mercilessly.We don’t have right to kill someone for any reason.There is no explanation for killing someone.Some people say that merciless killing should be legalized even in some countries it is legalized.They put forward some reasons to rationalize e.g. they state medical costs are high there can be financal burden. Is a human’s life cheap? I don’t think the money that would spend to the medical cost is more than the money that is spent army. There are lots of charities to help them. They say also euthanasia should be legal because familly suffer and the ill need care. It isn’t ethic either. A family must be with its member everytime. The ill should be taken care. He shouln’t be unwanted person. The most absurd reason they give is that; there is no chance to recover for patient.Who can know this? There is always a chance to recover before he dies. Medical sector is developing day by day. May be a cure can be find for a ilness that now we say it is incurable.

Reliability What I Want

A friend is a person whom you share everything you have especially your feeling.A friend is with you everytime both good days and bad days.And you want to something that your friend should have.There are lots of characteristics e.g;humor,intelligence,reability...Reliability is what I want to most my friend should have.Because reliable friends are near you everytime.
If you have smt bad he or she is ready to help you. You can share everything with your reliable friends.They don’t squeal on someone else. You weigh the burden of life together with your reliable friend.Reliable friends likes a brother may be even a father.However some peole don't think like this.They claim in frienship intelliget or humour is the most important thing,reliability isn’t important. To a certain extent they may be right. But when time comes to share some important things or feelings you can’t share a friend who has humor or intelligence but hasn’t got reliability.

Speed or Sight

Travelling by plane has increased latelly. Bus has also a good position in travelling.Bus is the most commen means of travelling. Plane is more comfortable than bus. There are more spaces in plane than bus and its seats are more relaxing. We can reach easily by plane where we want to go e.g. we can reach in an hour somewhere that we can reach at least five hour by bus. When we think in that point of view people who are in rush choose plane. Plane is also safer than bus. But plane is so expensive that most people can't afford to buy ticket. Plane transportation is not much commen e.g. in our country there are lots of places where airports aren't available. So you must choose bus. One of the most important thing: You can see lots of places while travelling by bus. If you go somewhere to sightseeing you should start with travelling by bus

What a Day!

I will tell a story that ı was ashamed of my behaviour. Years ago when ı was a little child we went to our village to visit my granfather. It was a sunny day. There were lots of flowers,apples,apricots... Everywhere was green like a heaven. I was very naughty. I wouldn't listen my mother's says especially while ı was playing with my friends.My mother was more sensetive when we went to village because in village there were lots of possible dangers. Again one day ı had wanted to bicycle but my mother didn't let me go saying " The weather is getting worse and dark. Don't go anywhere!" But ı didn't listen her and left from home. On my way ı saw a dog with black hair. At first ı thought it wasn't dangerous. But ı was wrong. It chased me. I can't remember how ı escaped. But ı remmember how necessary to listen elders.

Building A House

Building a house in Second Life is different. First we found four friends to build this house.After that we searched a place to build our house,ı think one of the most important part of our work,we found a place bank of the sea.Actually we hadn't had such task, so at first we had some diffuculties. But we shared tasks: one built a wall, other built the other wall, the other built the roof. But there was something wrong our walls that they had no colour. We pointed it colourfully. While we were pointing them one of our friends make a mistake and one of our walls disappered.Anyway in this way it looks more perfect.Finally we finished our house and took a foto in our house.It was a different and unique experience.

Classification of Metu Students

Metu students can be classified in 2 groups. One of them is new comers, the other is the ones who came earlier.New comers are the ones who studied hard to attend Metu and want a different life style. They don't want to study any more, they want to go to different places, they want to attend courses e.g tennis.But they are all inexperienced. They can be noticed easily. The ones who came earlier are experienced.They know every thing even if they aren't important.

The purposes of and the meaning of second life can be divided five categories:
1. This is called Second Life because it is an alternate universe, where people exist only as avatars. 2. The main purpose of Second Life is social interaction...talking with people, meeting people, playing games with people, even falling in love with people.
3.Even though people all look like cartoons, there is a real person behind every avatar. Treat them the way you would treat real people, especially the women the place. 4. we are in right now does not represent Second Life...it is a place where new people come to learn the mechanics of Second Life.
5.Practicing English...
