Nothing New!

Actually, I have studied English awhile. Still. Something must be changed, but I am not sure how much progress I have made in those months. It is obvious that I did not focus on carefully what I was doing. Therefore, it is quiet boring that still I need to write an essay about something I do not interested. This is really boring. I need to stop this. However, I need to wait one more month in order to deal with fucking TOEFL. After that, hopefully I feel more freely. 

IELTS WRITING;

"Nowadays more people are choosing to live with friends or alone rather than with their families.This trend is likely to have a negative impact on communities.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?"

Today, “living alone” is a new trend. People would like to live alone or with their friends rather than with their families. This circumstance potentially has a negative impact on communities. Although there are negative impacts at living with friends or alone on communities, I believe that its positive effects should not be ignored.

On the one hand, concept of family is an important element to the life of people who are at specific age groups. We all have learned how to speak or communicate or act with societies. Furthermore, family life provides a world for us, which minimizes the bad affect and maximizes the comfort. What is more, it protects us against bad habits like drug addiction, intoxication and etc. These factors are important in order to build communities.           

On the other hand, despite its negative impact, living with friends or alone certainly has positive effects on communities. Firstly, living separately from family brings upon self-confidence on people. In fact, they learn how to stand up their own two feet, and should cope with the problems of everyday life. Taxes, electric or water bills, even government policies are more important than before. Secondly, the people become aware of the environment and public problems. We all live in a complex interdependent society and must learn how to deal with difficulties. People living alone become well-rounded individuals, which creates better communities.

For the reasons mentioned above, it seems to me that the trend of living alone is more likely to have a positive impact on communities if compare to a negative impact on it.

The Bar Graph for IELTS

The bar charts give information about the number of French people who spoke their regional languages in the past and spoke now within their families.

It can clearly be seen that the regional languages, compared to the past, are spoken less by their families today than they used to be.

As we can observe, Occitan language was spoken more than other regional languages in the past. Furthermore, Occitan were habitually spoken by 600,000 people, whereas it was occasionally spoken by 1,080,000 people. On the other hand, there is a significant decrease in the number of people speaking the language with their children now. It has dropped to solely 250,000 speakers.

Today, the most common regional language is Alsatian which was spoken habitually as much as Occitan, however it was spoken occasionally among only by 240.000 people.
By contrast, 60.000 people speak Corsican language which has the lowest rates on the charts.

In conclusion, the number of people who was speaking the all French regional languages within families habitually or occasionally has decreased prominently. 

What can you do to help prevent pollution?

It is question which was given by my teacher. Actually there were 4 question and she said that which one I would like to answer it and select it. So, I should answer what I think about it and I am going to talk about it at least 60 second.

Let's practice it in here.

Question: What can you do to help prevent pollution?

Pollution is when water, air or land become very dirty. There are 3 different types of pollution effecting different areas in the world.

 Pollution is mainly the result of human activities. And small things we do everyday can help diminish  pollution and improve the protection of the environment as well as human health.

There are some important but also easy things on what we can to help prevent pollution.

First one is that we take public transportation. If you chose to take car rather than public transportation, you will emit several times more (about 25 times more) co2 emission.

Second one is saving electricity. Don't leave your electronic devices on stand-by mode. Shut them off completely and also you will save %10 of your bills.

Third and last one is don't waste clean water unnecessary.
use the minimum amount of water needed for a bath and start dishwashers and clothes washers only when they are fully loaded. 


Thank you for listening. (Or reading.. ) :)


I guess it takes more than 60 seconds.. 

tons of homeworks..

I have tons of homework to do. And I am really bored. Only 3 days have passed. I should focus English very deeply.. So I am coming back to my homework which I have to do this till tomorrow..  

something is new again!

Long time no write again.. I do not know why but I have been so lazy and inactive since I came back to Turkey from US. 

A lot things have happened in my life.. 

I was enlisted in the NATO by Turkish Army. It took 6 months more or less. It was an experience which is hard to get another places for me.

After that, I started to find money from my parents and putted all money in stock exchange.. I had had a experience of course.. I lost and made moneys in there. But after a while, I was quite lost.. Because I was sitting all day and watching two computer screens. I was totally alone. Some days I did not talk anybody but my parents. I was in trouble as I remember now. 

Then I decided to go the US again. I had money and my parents supported me,too, studying Master about economics. And I started to collect information and documents about universities and applications form for visas etc. 

In those days, I noticed that the scholarship of the Board of Education (M.E.B.) was announced. I was shocked because that had never happened before. I had a one week to go to Ankara in order applying visa for the US. And I called to the embassy and postponed meeting. 

Than again, I applied the scholarship. But it took 3 weeks and as a result one more time I was dismissed. This time It really hurts to me. But I have nothing to do. 

I desisted from the U.S. I started to study English again. 

Then, one day. my phone was ringing and somebody was calling me to invite the job interview. I did not care too much because I did not think that there was a qualified jobs in Antalya. Of course there was tons of jobs but they asked for experience which I did not have. But I accepted the job interview because I had nothing to lose. And you know what, I got the Job which was Fund Management Specialist. I was so happy because it was perfect job for my interest and the salary was not too bad comparing average salary in other sectors.

I was OK in my job. I learned a lot from my managers and other factors.. Then one day, The scholarship was announced again. I had little bit angry because every time I missed it. But I wanted to try one more time.

And I got it this time. 

I prefer to write the rest of story next time. It is time to sleep for me.. :)

something new!!

New Year is coming.. 2010 was quiet interesting year for me and other people around me..

In my life, I have not found anything easily but my family.. I had plans several times about future but nothing has gone on the way.. After army, I got ALES Test - it is like GRE or GMAT) I passed it really good marks, 92 of 100.. It is enough to get scholarship to master and PHD degrees.. Last year, my friends got 78, 84 or sth similar points and those were enough to attend any universities in Turkey and they send my friedns to USA, England or wherever they wanted..

But this year, 92 points were not enough to get that, because ALES was stolen.. And nobody cares even goverment, they were also inside this business...

Now I am confused.. I do not know what to do.. My head is not clear. I have no route and it makes me crazy.. If you dont know where to go, it is not important which roads you choosed..

Yesterday, I decided to go to Manhattan with my camera. And I took some photos from Central Park and 5th Avenue mostly...  I will take photos of other places of New York City . i can take picture because i am totatly free. I had a several problems and i've done these (maybe not, but i feel good! :) ) And finally i decided to come back to my country- Turkey. i will tell you why i decided to come back but now, i just wanna add some photos which i want to you see!

See ya!

Long time no post, comment even enter this blog as before. I know that learning new language is hard, especiialy if you should learn it percetly or fluently, your job is even harder. As far as I have learned from my experience, writing something the foreign language is the best way for practicing and to follow your development of that.
For example, one day when I look my backward, maybe this article will be makes me feel funny. Long story short, I came back again. And this time I try to write something about something more.
Next article could be that what have been changed in my life.  And I guess that It has to be written by me.
Anyway see you soon!

Closer: Without it we are animals!

I have been watched the movie 4 years before in the Movietheather with my close friends. I don't know why, i would like to watch it again and, i just watched it. At the first time, it was quite confused to me and disturbed to me, too. Actually i haven't focused it. 

After years, it is honest about relationship, but it is that honest which you hate and you can't say anybody, even yourself! 

Everybody is so dirty, sometimes you try to don't be dirty, but life does not let you. 

After all years, I am looking my around, my friends and myself, the movie which i hated to watch at the first time, is more honestly then us and truly. 

I can write lots of things about the movie, everybody' performan is perfect, but she, Natalie Portman  is... i am not finding any words which describes her and her performans! anyway she is awesome! 

If you've never watch this movie, you should watch it but without prejudice! 

Also there is link which you download ---> Closer

Ps.. The Songs that is under the picture is called ''The Blower's Daughter''. It plays the last part of the movie. It added lots of emotion to experience. 

So here is 'The Blower's Daughter' ,

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

New York, New York !...

Yes, finally I moved in New Nork City! It has been 10 days already. It is a completly new adventure! Everybody is asking to me why i came this city! I say 'why not?' 

Just kidding. The answer is not that easy but the question's answer is nt comming for this article. This is all about New York which i see till now. First impression was, new york city is totally similar Istanbul. Actually, all cosmopolitan cities are similar each other. 

Last year i was in Paris and also you can feel similar atmosphere there. 

Everybody is running somewhere, hurried. Everybody is everywhere, you cannot understand who is who, everybody is speaking different language. That's why you do not  feel you are stanger but even after 10 years later you can feel you are stranger, too. If you live such cities, you must be stress everytime, doesn't matter you are rich or poor, city life brings all of dirty things to you.

Because of you, if you've grown up one of cosmopolitan cities, it is hard to live other cities, sometimes, impossible! Although you hate stress that comes city, you are crazy because of this city but you are poisoned by city, too. And you need this poison as person who needs drugs.

I don't say lot of things about NYC, also everythings which i say, can be wrong, I need to live here. As i see, Life is not easy here, for me i just founded to home to live. I live in Brooklyn, a lot of Jewess and black people live around here. I also live with black people. I like it. Because i have met different cultures, different religions but I have never met black people before, i have never chanced to meet with them. It is a chance for me, after this time, i live with them. 

But I don't feel ok, so much. My budget is running out fastly. I need to find job as soon as possible. That's why my problem is continuing!

When i started to this article, i was planning to write a lot of information about NYC but I don't want to write more. I have to focus job to find. :) 

By the way, i add the link here --> New York City

You can find some infos which you do not need so much...

Take care...

How did i meet with english?!

I do not remember when i encountered first english sentence. Probably, i saw english words in the pc game firstly, than some billboards in my homecity Antalya, Turkey.
I knew several words, ''save, download, upload, exit, windows, document, open, close, press'' to play game!

Than I began to study high school, but my foreign language was german. I hated to german. I hated to learn different language. Evertime we were talking that why we need to learn other language. We could see new world and new thing which is called globalism! But we dindt like to learn other languages anyway. I took bad marks from german all my highschool time! Anyway I graduated highschool and I was clear of german finaly.

Language of education in my university was turkish. I and my friends were doing a lot of thing about future. We managed economy club and did other business things. But we still hade a problem about english. Because we knew and felt that one day we have to learn this shit in any case.

One day, i went to school, i said 'one day' because i went to school so rarely, and i talked one of econometry teacher about analysis of data course. After that I asked her about Erasmus Programme, because i was tired of business stuff and i wanted to live foreign country. AND I needed to speak english for my business!
But I had some problem! Because I had to pass english test for erasmus and i needed to good GPA. And you know what! I had nothing at that time.

After that I started to go one english school. Everyday I went and came back between dormitory and school 50 km. More or less 7 month later i passed english test and i was accepted for erasmus programme. I went to poland to study. I've been there 2 semesters. Erasmus in Poland was the best part of my life. (in the future, i'll write one article about my erasmus life. I already published one blog about erasmus but it is turkish)

One day, one of my friend wanted to hang out with me. Also I wanted to go out with her, too. I was afraid of that. Because I did not speak with somebody alone till that time. Of course I could speak english other people but evertime we were speaking about sth together, that's why i was thinking what i say english to them while others were speaking . But It was first i went out with one girl, and nobody helped to me. Anyway, we went to one pub which you could listen modern jazz and pop music too. When we entered to pub, time was 9 pm. exited from pub, time was 4 am. And you know what, we talked about everything 7 hours. I talked english with someone over 7 hours. That time, I understood why we know to learn english or other languages. Because until that time, I wanted to learn english for business, not less not more. Afterthat i understood that we learn other languages because we get across other people and we laugh, we feel, we get angry, we love...

After Poland, I came back to turkey to graduate my university. I needed to improve my english more and i knew that if i improve english as soon as possible, i have to go the usa or england. I did not want to go england, I do not know why, i feel cold for england. That's why i came the USA. I've been here for 2 months more or less. I had a lot of problem. I solved some of them but still others are living with me. I am living here and I am working in a mall. My english is not improving as well as i want. And I am not such a person who is studing and memorizing every day 10 english words.

Than I thought how can i improve my english fastly. Especially writting skill. The most power skill for me is reading than, listining, speaking and the worst weak for me is writing, as you see.

I decided to publish this blog and I'll write everthing here, especially after chritsmas.
This is story how i met with english...

See you soon...
