Today our topic was about the connections of animals and humans. I'm not sure about that animals can be taught to speak by their owners but it can be seen that they can communicate with their owners without speaking. This is a very beautiful video that my cousin shared on Facebook. please watch it:))

happiness

i really liked today. the first thing that i did was going to my aunt to see my cousin who came from abroad. we had so beautiful time together with my family, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. we were so crowded and it reminds me a Bairam day. we usually go to our grandma's house in the first day of bairam every year. today was like these days. everyone was there and we spent time for a long time. it was really beautiful day...

Alzheimer's disease...

It's a video that i couldn't open today for my presentation because of the mini mac. It shows that alzheimer's cause the loss of memory...

nauseous(?) day!

It wasn't like a beautiful spring day. The weather is liar today, it was cold and rainy in the morning but then it become warmer so i felt very hot in thick clothes. In the morning my throat was very bad so i drank a glass of green tea but it didn't work to get better throat. In the second lesson, İlke hoca came and asked us about changing classes. She offered us to merge two classes in the one class with window. We gave vote to decide it and "yes" won. However i don't want to merged class, i just want to new class with window. I'm not good at speaking and we do a lot of speaking practices in every morning. This practices cause me to get used to speak in English. But when we merge with the other class, it won't be possible to speak more in class because we will be so crowded. On the other hand,  we will have big class with window. I'm not sure which one will be helpful for us. After the classes, my friends came to the school to see me but when they went, i again feel sad. Also Mr. Chicago seen unhappy why i don't know. While firdaous and he were in tutorial, I heard he behaved like an actor when he said that i'm good. Then i got on the bus that was so crowded. It was really hard to hold to thing that is top of the bus, when i was traveling. And also it causes to return my backache. Although it wasn't a good day, i have to smile to our guests now. That's all for today. Goodbye Mrs. Blog

something

Yesterday, we had lesson outside and it was really good to have lesson with breathe fresh air. Maybe we were listening to each other hardly but i enjoyed so much. Also we did some important exercises about making a sentence. These were really necessary for us. In Mr. Zehra's lesson we did speaking practice. We all wrote a question on papers. We asked questions to our parents. We gave points to each other out of 9 like ielts. I think it was very beneficial for us to think topic that the partner asked and answer it in a few minutes.
I think we should play more often the game that we did today, when we are bored. It is very funny and it provides us to attend the lesson after the game. That's all for today my dear blog, have a nice weekend!

Unfortunately, it was a terrible morning for me because of my backache. I couldn't sit back or walk comfortably. I know it is caused by my macbook. It's very hard to carry it. Actually i have carried it for six months but this time it really made me bad. Anyway, i hope it will be better... When i enter the class in every morning, we always have speaking practices in the first hour. Because of that, i can speak in any topic easily. I hope i will be better speaker end of the year. And also it's the only thing we can do actively in the morning. If we go on focus on ielts in the mornings, i may feel more sleepy. As for today, for me it was not easy to support an idea that i do not agree. I don't know why but if i supported my opinion, i would have more reasons or details about that.

I hate to do weekly plan but i know it will be very beneficial for us. Because we don't study enough and also we don't spare time to do homework except some students.

It also provides us to study regularly.

i'm very exciting, we have football match with Austria...  That's all for today

Pretty Day!

To begin, it was a very nice day. We started the first lesson with a game like yesterday. i think it is very enjoyable to play especially the second desk that is about telling pictures and drawing. Bilal is the best drawer in our group but noone can draw creative pictures as much as Beliz's, these are really interesting =) Also we talked about " society inspires tv series or the tv series inspire the society? " We agreed that both of them have effects and we gave some examples about that question. Another thing, we learned our quiz notes, i think i can get better maybe next time... Anyway. It's the most enjoyable time in the last class that we learned how can we pronounce "the". I enjoyed too much. I think we should do more practice about pronunciation.

Lastly, i had an experience today after the classes , we attended to Roni Margulies's conference. It was good and interesting to hear him beliefs and thoughts about socialism, left and kemalizm.

They attracted my attention because although they are very famous, they don't shoot a video with their song to not be popular. They just want to make their own special music. They are seven people and they feel happy and comfortable when they are writing new songs or playing an instrument. Their songs are very beautiful for lovers of oud.
That's all. It was a really pretty day.
