This Week

Hi everyone,
This week we started with "Gender and Sexuality" in reading.For me it was an interesting topic again.We learnt that how babies are taught their gender from the moment of birth and how parents behave their children in different ways according to their children's gender. I think in our society and in many others there is a remarkably differentiation between boys and girls.In listening lesson we watched "Armageddon". After we watched the film we discussed about America's domination all over the world.Also we talked about everyday languauge components .On Thursday, we continued the topic of reading.This time, we learnt that  even in fairy-tales there is a obviously discrimination between boys and girls.In fairy-tales beautiful girls are very good person and they needed to protect by handsome man in order to continue their life.I was bewildered when I found out this because I haven't ever thought this deeply.On Friday, we studied with
Ms Rebecca.We read and also made up a Nasreddin Hodja story:).This week we have
many exams.There are many topics to study.I hope, exams pass without any problem.See you....

This Week

Hi Everyone,

Another week passed. I can't realize how weeks pass so quickly.This week we started with reading lesson.We continued with chapter3 from hot topics.The topic was interesting again.(Fertility Now) I like the subjects of "Hot Topics" because we learn interesting things while we are reading so it comes to me enjoyable.On Tuesday,we had grammer lesson and we had a quiz.On Wednesday,we had listening lesson.We presented our interview about extreme sports which we had prepared before.On Thursday, we had writing lesson.We talked about comparison and contrast essay. It came to me a little bit complicated but as I write, I think that I can understand better.On Friday we watched SHREK with Ms.Rebecca.For me friday was

the most enjoyable and relaxing day.Because I like very much Shrek's films.On saturday I went  shopping and I bought some things for myself :) Finally on Sunday,that is, now I'm doing my homeworks.Sundays is a day for me  doing homework.

About Presentations

Hi Everyone,
This week also passed busily.First, this week we started with our presentations.We were separeted to seven groups.Our group's subject was Elizabethan Era.We told Elizabethan customs,superstitions,laws,crimes and punishments.We studied together with our group in my house.I would tell the customs and superstitions of Elizabethan Era.I did many researches on the internet and I found a lot of things about this period.At the beginning it was tiring.This subject was so rampant that it came to me difficult to summarize.I really tried hard to abridge.Anyway, I think studying as a group was useful for us.While we were studying we benefited from each other.We exchanged our ideas among us and consulted each other so this became useful.Also while we were doing researches we learned many things about different nations.They all had interesting customs,beliefs and punishments.For me,learning these was interesting and also enjoyable.When we came to the presentation day we were'nt perfect of course,but I think we told the subject well.We tried to did our best but I was excited very much even I forgot some things to say.Next time I will try to overcome my excitement.In spite of this,everything went well.I hope Ms. Gülsen liked it.In the other days of the week we watched a film with Ms.Fulden and we studied with Ms. Rebecca.
