SECOND LIFE

In the recent years, there has been a lot of successes in technology. We have never imagined that technology would be like today’s. One of those magics is Second Life. Everything in SL is designed as the life we live. It provides us lots of advantages. So, we use and benefit from it. There are three reasons of our purpose in using SL.

Firstly, we have a fun while we are using SL. There is a lot of activities that provide us to have a good time. For example, we can go to the cinema, disco, and shopping centers. Also, it gives us a great desire because we can do things that we couldn’t do in real life. Therefore, we enjoy while using it.

Secondly, by the help of SL, we can meet other people from all around the world. We can make friendships with foreigners. So, we get a chance to learn other cultures. Moreover, we can learn information we need about the country that we have an interest on it.

Lastly, we use SL for educational purposes. We can do our works and join the lessons. The most important one is that we can attend conferences in every part of the world. For example, if some conferences are given in US, we can attend them and get worthy information.

To sum up, having fun, making new friends, and using for educational purposes are three reasons of using Second Life.

TECHNOLOGY VS. TRADITION METHOD

Recently, using technology in lessons has become popular in the field of education. It has a lot of advantages which provide both instructors and students to develop themselves. However, there is tradition method that we have been using for centuries also has some advantages. So, the question comes out: which one is better? They have many similar and different points.

Using technology and tradition method can be compared as regards to that both of them are improving student’s knowledge about writing and reading. Students get a chance to improve their writing and reading skills by the help of them. Technology provide students to think deeply while they are writing or reading by giving them to research on something. Likely, tradition method promote students to reseorch on some topics. While students are researching them, they get an opportunity to improve their writing and reading skills.

Technology and tradition method can be contrasted in terms of making an effort and promoting students to the lesson. Firstly, technology provides students easiness. For example, students may need dictionaries while working. In the internet, they can find it easily. They don’t have to make much effort. But, in tradion method, students should search the word that they need by page turning. So, it provides them to be tired. Secondly, in the internet, students can do some other things while they are working. They can listening to music, reading news, and doing other activities. And it provides them not to get bored. However, while students work on tradition method, there is nothing to do in order to not to get bored.

In conclusion, because of these reasons that have mentioned above, technology and tradition method are different from each other.

IF I HAVE THE OPPORTUNİTY TO VİSİT A FOREİGN COUNTRY...

People always dream about to see other countries. Seeing other countries comes them interesting. This fact has a lot of reasons such as learning other countries, being familiar with other food, and making foreign friends. As for me, if I have the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks, I would choose England. The reasons for it are that I'm crazy about english football, I like England's weather, and I want to be familiar with English food.
To begin with, I really like English football because brits are know everything about football. Both players and audience are aware of that football is a game that should be played well. So, players play their game fantastically and audience enjoy while they're watching the game. Audience watch the game as they're in theater. So, there is not so much terrorism in stadium. It makes football more beautiful and makes me to love football more.
Secondly, although I haven't been in England, I like it's weather a lot. It's always rainy which makes me happy. Walking in rainy days has a different meaning on me. It provides me to understand the life.
Finally, there are a lot of people who claim that english kitchen is poor and I wonder if it is true or not. If not, I wonder that how they taste. Maybe, I've eaten English food. But, I want to eat them in England in rainy days.
In conclusion, it's my dream to visit England. So, if I was given a chance to visit a foreign country for two weeks, I would choose England without thinking.
