ABOUT AN ARTICLE
I
read an article about adjusting to college and I want to share my ideas about
it.
The
article ‘Adjusting to college’, written by the Counselling Centre of Illinois,
handles some transitions, changes and that students encounter and how to
overcome them while adjusting to college.
The
article is really well-prepared in different ways. First of all, its language is
very clear. Actually, I do not like this type of articles as they make me get
bored. If they are like that, I want to give up reading that article. However,
I really enjoyed reading it. The author clearly explains what he wants to tell
us. What I mean is that he explains himself briefly with an appropriate
language. Moreover, he gives very useful suggestions for those who are
new-comers. Being in a new environment can be very challenging especially if
you are a shy person. You may not want to socialise immediately or going out
and being with friends always. Actually, I was lucky since I had friends when
starting the college life since I had friends. Especially studying at prep
school is very beneficial for this situation. I thought it would be harder for me without
them. However, the author shows us that it is not such a big deal giving some
tips like ‘get involved’ or ‘connect with the other students’ about how to
overcome the hardships related to the period of adjusting to college life.
Lastly, the author analyses and understands the psychology of the students. This
is very important step about finding solutions to like these problems. I, as a
student, always complain that no one understand the thoughts and feelings of
students. However, the author is like a friend who realizes our situation and
gives suggestion. I think every student should read this article before
starting a college and getting new friends. Furthermore, studying at university
is nonsense when you have not friends with whom you do not spend times. To sum up, it’s a very good article in terms
of its language and contents.
DO YOU LIKE PUZZLES?
I love puzzle. This is my
favourite hobby. My puzzle love started when I was at high school. My English teacher
like doing puzzle and she always tells about them. She has many puzzles at her
home. Once I went to Ankara for a school trip, we went to Anitkabir and I saw a
gorgeous puzzle which has Ataturk and his horse, Sakarya, on it. I decided to
buy it, but I thought that I should buy two pieces. One of them is for my
teacher and the other one is for my mother. One of the friends of my mother also
loves puzzles and my mother sometimes does puzzle with her. I thought that she
may like it. I bought two pieces and I came home. I gave my teacher’s gift and
my mother’s. Both of them fancied. My gifts made them happy. However, my mother
was a little bit afraid of it because she had not done puzzle before and she
thought that she could not do it. I encouraged her and we started to do it
together. That was my first puzzle and I liked it. We were able to desist from
doing it. We finished it in a week. By the way, the puzzle was 1000 pieces.
Then, my mother and I decided to buy the new ones. Now, my mother has 10-15
puzzles like it. Some of them are 3000 pieces. She does puzzles, frame and put
them on the walls. She says that doing puzzle relieved her. I agree with her.
Doing puzzle removes your thoughts which are in your head for a while. Now, our
biggest dream is doing a 5000 pieces puzzle.
Most of the people think
that doing puzzle is so difficult, but I do not think so. Actually, before I
started to do it, I thought like them. However, I conquer this fear now. Furthermore,
if you split into the groups according to their colours, you will simplify your
puzzle. The happiness when you finish and put it on the wall is priceless. I
suggest you try at least once.
And these are some of my
favourite puzzle models...

PERSON OF THE YEAR: KEREM CATAY
If I was a jury member of the committee choosing the person of the year, my candidate would be Kerem Catay. I would like him to be the person of the year because of his contributions to Turkish TV series. He found Ay Production when crisis oppressed Turkey and it has been one of the biggest companies of Turkey in a short time. I believe that the person of the year should be someone who does useful things for his/her country, be a role model for the younger generation. I believe that this person is Kerem Catay. The first task which Ay Production did was ‘Calınan Ceset’ which is a TV film. What caused Ay Production being known was ‘Yaprak Dokumu’ which is written by Resat Nuri Guntekin. Then, Ask-ı Memnu and Dudaktan Kalbe pushed Ay Production over the top. These TV series brought in 33.8 million TL to Ay Production. ‘Fatmagul'un Sucu Ne?’ has started to be watched in France. Which I mostly like is ‘Delibal’ which is a film released in 2015. Furthermore, Kerem Catay is modest and emotional person. Most people find him handsome,too. Ezel is another series made by Ay Production. It has won Golden Butterfly. Bes Kardes, Analar ve Anneler, Kurt Seyit ve Sura and Bir Kucuk Eylul Meselesi are other series and films of Ay Production. Now, Kerem Catay is studying on a film (Kırık Kalpler Bankası) which is going to be released this year. Besides, he contributed to Marmara Media Center about enforcement network. Last year, he joined as honored guest to Cannes MIPCOM Fair. In 2013, he was a jury in International Emmy Awards. He voted in drama branch. All in all, I think that the person of the year should be Kerem Catay. He really is an idol for the young people who do not have the confidence. He is a real entrepreneur. He is married and father of two sons. It is believed that he did all these things thanks to his father. However, I do not believe it because entrepreneurship does not depend on just money.
And this is Kerem Catay…
“So you do have a plan? Yeah, Mr. White! Yeah,
science!”: Breaking Bad
(Best Breaking Bad scenes)
According to IMDb sort, Breaking Bad is the best
TV serial. In this TV serial, a chemistry teacher diagnosed with terminal lung
cancer teams up with his former student to cook and sell crystal meth. All of events
start with this. At the final episode, Mr. White, chemistry teacher, died. There
are Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul starring in this TV serial. There are 5 seasons in total. I think each of them is masterpiece. Furthermore, it has won 120 wins
including Golden Globes.
Its creator is Vince Gilligan. In the beginning,
Gilligan wanted to create a series in which the protagonist became the antagonist. Breaking Bad describes Mr. White’s transformation
consummately. Due to the fact that Breaking Bad is a scientific series, creator
wanted to receive help from a scientist. Donna Nelson, a professor of organic chemistry at the University of Oklahoma,
checked scripts and provided dialogue. When creator asked her to help, she said
"I really like this script, and if you ever need help with the chemistry,
I'd love to lend a hand." She's been a wonderful advisor. Also, creator
wanted to describe most of the main characters' connections to their families
in great detail.
I have chosen this TV serial due to its
popularity. I heard many times this series from my friends and finally, I
decided to watch it. I finished watching it in 10 days. As soon as I came from
the school, I opened my computer and watched it. It is very riveting.
Sometimes, I could not understand the scientific things, but this situation did
not prevent me to love it. I was so sad when it finished. I think has been the
best crime drama ever. Breaking Bad has already demonstrated it with the wins
which it has won. I will not forget Heisenberg, which is Mr. White’s nickname,
forever. I offer this series everybody. I think every person living on this
world should not die without watching it. Finally, these are some quotes from
it.
v'Just because you
shot Jesse James doesn't mean you are Jesse James.'
v'I am not in danger,
Skyler. I am the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that
of me? No. I am the one who knocks!'
v'If you don’t know
who I am, then maybe your best course would be to tread lightly.'
v'Someone has to
protect this family from the man who protects this family.'
v'You know how they
say 'it's been a pleasure'? Well... it hasn't.'
v'Put me on your
magical boat, man, and sail me down your chocolately river of meth!'
