Argumentative Outline

THESIS STATEMENT: Downloading mp3s, films and different software programs from the Internet without paying any money is exactly unfair.
SUPPORTING IDEAS:
1) People who are spending time for producing mp3s, films or different programs don't deserve "plagiarism".
2) In the world, almost everybody has a job for making money. So people who are preparing the films or programs want to earn money. We shouldn't disrupt them
3) Plagiarism is in the same meaning with burglary.
OPPOSING IDEAS:
1) People who download mp3s or the other things may be right in one point. If they are students and don't have enough money , they want to download free.
2) Costs of the films and mp3s are really high. So people can't buy these although they want.
REFUTATION OF OPPOSING IDEAS:
1) If they are students or don't have enough money, downloading is not required for them. Because they may watch or listen them in the official websites of singers.
2) There are cyclical sales for them by made producers. If you want, you can buy them on these times.

EDUCATION LANGUAGE

Education is the most important fact which gives shape to one nation. How do people become successful? With Turkish or English education? If a person live in Turkey and take lessons as Turkish, s/he becomes much better at school or life. Because language especially mother tongue is the best way for people to explains themselves. But in our today some universities such as METU have English as teaching language. Of course learning a new language is unexpressible action but for every student this is not good. Because if they don't think they work in abroad , their taking lessons as English is illogical. Also Turkish education is important for our mother tongue's and culture's protection.

EUTHANASIA

The Right to Die

A difficult problem that is facing society is euthanasia, another word for mercy killing. Thousands of young people are mortally ill because of incurable disease. They are all kept alive in artificial ways. They have no chance to recover completely, but most of the legal systems do not allow doctors to end their lives. However, fatally ill patients should be allowed to die for several reasons.

The first reason is that medical costs are very high. The cost of a hospital room can be as much as a hundred dollars per day and even more. The costs of medicines and medical tests are also high. The family of the patient is responsible for these expenses. Consequently, they would be a terrible financial burden for them for a long time.

The second reason is that the family suffers. The nurses can only give the terminally ill patient minimum care. The family must spend time to care for the special needs of their loved one. They should talk, touch, and hold the patient even though he or she may be in a coma. For example, Karen Quinlan’s parents visited her every day even though she was unable to speak or to see. Also, it is very difficult to watch a loved one in a coma because his or her condition does not improve.

The third and most important reason is that the patients have no chance of recovery. They can never lead normal lives and must be kept alive by life – support machines. They may need a machine to breathe and a feeding tube to take in food. They are more dead than alive and will never get better. For example, in 1975, Karen Quinlan became unconscious after the she swallowed some drugs and drank alcohol. She was kept alive by machines. Her parents knew that her body and brain would never be normal. Therefore, they asked the court to allow their daughter to die. The judge agreed, and Karen’s breathing machine was turned off. She was able to breathe on her own, but she died nine years later in June of 1985.

In conclusion, because terminally ill patients have no chance to live normal lives, they should be allowed to die with dignity. Therefore, the family should have the right to ask to turn off the life-support machines or to stop further medical treatment.

The Right To Live

Euthanasia is a very controversial topic. It has different viewpoints which change according to everybody. In our today, unfortunately a lot of people become ill and they almostly don't have any chances. In anyway, it mustn't be acceptable because everybody has right to live. Euthanasia is to kill the person deliberately, so it is crime.

Nothing,especially money, is more important than one's life. Whatever the medical cost is, all families want to see their patients. Money is not the matter for them. They can undertake every thing for their patients. The family may be in pain by seeing the patient but if s/he dies, they will be broken. They prefer to see their relatives hospital to see their corpses. May be a remedy can't be found for illness. Nobody ,except God, doesn't know that when, who dies. So there is a hope every time for illness and patients. Euthanasi must be prohibited. Because it is nothing but murder. On the world, the most important creature is humanbeing, therefore human life is right to be taken into consideration.

GROWING UP IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

For children, growing up in the countryside is much better than in a big city. Firstly, cities are consisted of only big buildings, there isn't enough places for children's plays. And also everybody is busy with their business so nobody can't deal with each other. Children can't have a social life or days with their relatives or friends because almostly everbody is occupied. Secondly, if a child live in a countryside, s/he will have a lot of chances for eating organic foods. Thirdly, the countrysides have trees, grass, so children who live in here can breathe fresh air. On the other hand, children who live in big cities are conscious of dangers such as alcohol, drunk, etc. They try to pay attention to this. And also they may have many possibilities for using internet and the other technological devices. But children in the countryside also may access to internet and the othes. So they have chance to develop yourself. In conclusion, the children who live in countryside are much better than the others.

-----TWILIGHT-----

Twilight and the other films of this series are my favorite films. When we look at these films, actually they are fantastic. A normal girl falls in love with a vampire. This is logically impossible. But they live a wonderful love. It is not only normal love story but also it has a lot of devotions, amicabilities, love and respect, etc. At that, there are a lot of characters if I state them, they are Edward and Isabella, Jasper and Alice,Esme and Carlisle, Rosalie and Emmet... They are partners and except Bella they all are vampires. Edward and Bella have a different and extraordinary affairs. As I said before one is vampire the other is human. All over the world the film was watched at high rates. But I think it was desired because of that Edward's handsomeness, Bella 's beauty or the other's colorful and vivid features. The most important side of the film which attracts people " the love" in the film. Because it seems like impossible but it is being real after little time. The film was based on this script. These are not only films. Before the films were taken, there were books (there are still:D) Firstly we read the books. There are 4 books and two of them were shot. I think the books are better than the films... But I like all of them :D:D Even though they are not scientifc and literal, they are very action-packed. I recommend you to read books or go to films. I'm sure you will have fun and spend cheerful times :)

A CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC

Do you have a boy/girlfriend?? If you have, I guess you meet with problems. At like this times, we want to consult to another person. It may be my moms, dads or friends.. But these options change from one person to another. Last lesson, we argued about this subject with friends. Should we consult to whom when we meet with like these cases ? Almostly, we all said that we must talk with our friends. Even they have not enough experience on problems, for we are the same ages we can understand each others. So we decided to discuss with friends. Nobody wants to talk about this with their parents. We think that they can't see us. May be I think so, but we can talk with parents or other elders because they have a lot of experiences, they can help us easily.But if you ask me to whom do you consult? Absolutely I would ask my best friend....:D

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE PLACES AT SECOND LIFE

I went to the two places at second life. They were very different. The first one is very nice for resting or relaxing. Because the homes in here very modern and comfortable. I liked them. They have squared shapes and also there was one type of circular. There was carousel in there but they were glacial. And I think preparations were made for new-year's day and there were also gifts for the same purpose. As for me they were a place like paradise which include different types. This was first place.
The adjoining picture is from the second place. Here is one house. While I was wandering, I found a place which was very wonderful. This house very different features from the first one. When I saw here, If I may so, I was fascinated. Because looked from the outside, here can be seen as a technological place. But when moved down to inside, you can be shocked. Actually here contrary to seen, is very authentic and very modern. They were a lot of trees at the out of doors. The houses in here is various and have various types. If comparing these two places, they have very different features.

(= MY LITTLE SISTER=)

She is my angel, little angel, I like her very much. She is Zehra , the smallest member of my family. I'm very proud of you. She is in 4. class at primary school and very hard-working. Although she is small, she thinks and behave differently from her age is required. Right now, she can think about life like adults. If you want talk with her, I'm sure you can take answers which you desire, and you see that she doesn't speak in vain.=) Sometimes she comments about everything excessively but I like this because when must tell her important thing, I don't have any difficulty. Also she has a lot of ambitions to forthcoming. I think the best feature of her is her reading habituation. We don't have to say her, she reads willingly. As I said before, my sister is very smart and I'm very proud of her....:):)

LONELINESS

Humanbeing is like a bird. The only difference we haven't wings we can't fly but the life brandishes us from there to there. Sometimes,there are a lot of choices but not every time... Loneliness is one of them ; however, it may be the only choice. If we look it from the psychological aspect, it may be the reason of suicide or mental problems. I think there are two different loneliness. First one is the real one, namely, not to be in a society. And the second one is to feel loneliness among the crowds. To me the second one is the worst. Being aware of nobody is here around you even to pour out your grievances. Feel like everybody is opposite you.... These are indefineable griefs.... I hope nobody is in this mood. Let's not forget that in contravention of everthing, life is beautiful and we must learn to live with these difficulties.... I wish everybody enchanting moments....

EFFECTS OF INTERNET

This week I want to talk about internet addiction. Internet has a very large effect on our lifes. All over the world, nearly the all people use internet in their homes, schools, work,etc. I think internet may influence us from different aspects according to how we use it.
Firstly, I think it is very important for us because we can find everything which is necessary for us and there are such kinds of using internet for our assignments, listening, chatting, watching, etc. Also we can keep up-to-date because of it. It enables us to connect with the other people who are from different countries. These are the good sides of internet.
On the other hand, internet has a lot of bad effects. For example, it steals our time. Or if one's personal informations are on internet, some cheater people use them and may want to damage this person. Actually there are a lot of bad effects of it but these are which I can list.
As a result, internet has very changeable impacts on our lifes in respects of uses.

OUR HOME AT SECOND LİFE

This is our house which was built at second life. Firstly, the teacher wanted from us to have a group and then built a house. According to this task, we formed a group for five people. They were Uğur, Gürcan, Alparslan, Fatih and I.

To begin with, we made a plan and each of us took a mission. We decided to find a place for our house and began to make the floor of our house. Secondly, five of us made the walls. Especially, Gürcan helped us make the walls. After we finished the walls Uğur made the roof. Colour of our house was brown but the roof had very different color. Thirdly, afterwards the roof , we completed the house and wanted to take a photo in front of the house. Finally, I think we had a good job. I hope you will admire it if you visit. I want to thank to my all teammates for their participations.=)))

ULUDAĞ

Last year, befoe the university entrance exam, our high school teachers decided to give us a gift and a trip was organizated. We visited a lot of places but the best of them was firstly İstanbul and then Uludağ. But I like the snow, I enjoyed in Uludağ very much. When we went there, it was night and we spent that night in a teacher training high school. In the morning, the breakfast was done and we got into the bus. The next station was Uludağ which was touristic place. While we were going there, we had a break for some time. The nature was nearly free from defect and was very fresh. There were forests special for some animals. By passing these nice places, we arrived there. Everywhere was covered with snow but the weather was warm. Each of us found enjoyable things. Some friends wanted to ski, some of us rode chair lift. There were a lot of tourists who came from hot countries and they were wearing thin clothes. We had a fun there, and that day was one of the deathless days for me and ,I can say, for all of us....

MISTAKES

Mistakes occur in our lifes nearly every time. It doesn't matter if it is big or little. In conclusion they hurt us and our relatives, but ,of course, we don't want to be so. They develop the people and make them separate the wrongs and rights. Is it possible not to make any mistake? It is conventional, I think. Everybody can make them. The most important thing is understanding and trying to better it. Mistakes are for being forgiven. If one mistake is done only one time, it is acceptable. On the other hand it is done again and again, we must think about them. As a result, all of the people can hav problems and make mistakes.

STUDENTS AT METU

There are lots of people at METU. When we look them from the different views, they can be categorized in three types. Teachers,students and workers... Students have the highest rate in these groups. Also we can do a classification among them. They can be classify in four types. First two groups are students staying in dormitory or staying different places. These different places can be dormitory outside of the campus or home. I think students staying in the campus are luckier than the others. because the life at campus is very vivid and they have a lot of facilities. And the other two groups are students coming to the university for only career with lessons or the others coming for both their departments and also the other activites. First type students are only interested in their lessons and trying to do the best. Second group students are aware of the responsibilities about the lessons and also they are interested in different activities such as students collectivity,foreign languages and some scientific or literary facilities....

Purposes of Using Second Life

Second life is a very original site. Because we can do a lot of things on that. Many people use it for different purposes. They can be classified according to purpose of using. Therefore, we can categorized them in four types. Firstly, a lot of people use it for fun. In second type, SL is used out of curiosity. Apart from these, on the third category people use it to visit different places and meet new people. Finally, also many people use it for improving English skills.

One of my dreams, Hawaii

America,Hawaii
At this picture, we see a place in Hawaii. As far as I know, Hawaii has a lot of green and blue areas. Here is the one of these areas. There are a lot of trees in there and there is a river flowing through forest. I think this place has very fresh air and relaxing surrounding. River has added a different ambiance in here, seems nice... In addition to trees,river and bridge, there are a table and a lot of chairs to sit here. Sitting there and breathing the fresh air would be perfect. I like here and in my opinion you can go and visit , I am sure you will enjoy....

Introductıon

Hi,
I am Sevda YAYMAZ. I live in Tokat and come from there. But now, I am at METU for this school, so happy to be here.
When I came here, I hoped that everything would be very easy for me , but didn't so. Firstly, I used to get lost, because the campus is very big. But I am getting used to here day by day. At least I don't get lost.
Secondly, lessons are very difficult. I must study very hard, I noticed that. It will be very hard for me, but I know that I will achieve. I expect, this lesson will be very joyfull because we are going to deal with internet.
My teacher want from us to write this post and I tried to write. I hope I can do this mission. Thanks for everyone....
