ANIL TETİK

Anıl Tetik was born in Istanbul Küçükçekmece in 1991. He studied American Language and Literature in Kadir Has University. He interested in motor sports since childhood, but Anıl’s family opposed to this request because it is too danderous. He had reached 100 pounds by the age of 19. That case was not suitable for motor sports. Therefore, He managed to lose weigh in a short time about 4 month, and he eventually is 75 kilos. Then he convinced his family to come true his childhood dream. He has attrached attention with success received from American teachers at the end of one month course. In addition, he joined many contests, got Turkey championship twice, and finally was first made in Eastern European Track Championship by getting three in a row.  

Then he participated in SURVIVOR as a competitor. He raced really in a honest way. He could not win the contest, but he has won the hearts of many people.

WHY INSTILLING A LOVE OF SCHOOL SHOULD BE YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY

In today’s world, it is one the most talked topics. Everybody knows that school should be made children to like. There are several reasons for that. However, I want to mention about two reasons. The first reason is that in our country, primary and secondary school are compulsory. If someone wants to get a qualified job, s/he should finish compulsory education. In addition, if a child likes the school, s/he can make a decision easily related to what will do in the future. The second reason is that the parents of a child can train him/ her to some extent. Therefore, the child has to go to acquire necessary education. As the child is trained by equipped teacher, s/he will prepare herself/himself in a good way for the future. Another topic I want to mention is that curriculum is highly significant. If the curriculum is arranged according to students, they are much eager about loving the school. In conclusion, in the article, written by Michael Linsin, is pointed out that if your students do not want to be in your class, if your lessons are asleep-inducing and if you are indifferent to this case, then everything is disaster. So, we, as the teachers of the future, should aware of this situation.

Exercises on paralelism

As our beagle loves to hunt, someone  opens the back door for her. Though she is so sweet, some people are afraid of her. She barrels down porch steps into the yard, and runs back and forth across the lawn in ecstasy. Her nose cruises the wet grass. These are smells of cats, of rabbits, but other presences too subtle for human detection. After she sniffs, she spins her tail in quick circles. It spins clockwise first, then counterclockwise. These two activities that are sniffing and spinning seem to propel her along.

The Government Printing Office in Washington D.C. is a source of much useful information. However, few people know about it. It is the official publishing house fort he federal government. The GPO publishes pamphlets and books on a vast number of subjects. These subjects range from the dangers of X-rays from home TV sets to the identification of mushrooms. About 27,000 publications that many of them are inexpensive are offered through the Superintendent of Documents. There is no charge at all for some.

My creative song

                         ''Imagine'' by Kübra ALTUN

Imagine there is no sun
It's hard even if you think several times
No soil below us
Above us only moon and stars
Imagine all the people sleeping always
Imagine there is no sea
It isn't possible to consider
Nothing to swim or stroll
And no coast too
Imagine all the people living in chaos

You may say I'm a crazy
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll figure out
And the world will change

Imagine no imagination
I believe if you can
No need for speak or quarrel
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people being like robots

You may say I'm a crazy
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll figure out
And the world will change..
