One More Night -  Madilyn Bailey

REFLECTION TO ONE MORE NIGHT

I chose this song because I heard it recently and liked it very much. This is an acoustic performance of this song. Many people, like me, think that she did it better than maroon 5. I believe that her voice is amazing and fascinating. Her voice is so beautiful that I could not make anything without listen it. I also think that the acoustic version of it is very suitable for this song. The lyrics of it are also very understandable with this acoustic version. The lyrics are very meaningful, so I liked it very much. Because lyrics and rhythms are in accordance, people like this video very much. Finally, I liked it, so I want to share it with you. I hope that you will also like it.

I chose this video also because it will give you a chance to compare these two versions of this song. I believe that the girl's voice is much more suitable for this song and the acoustic version of it is much more understandable. I also think that the second video is very good and suitable for the lyrics of the song. Both of them are very successful, but I liked the first one more than second. Thanks for both of them.

An Ideal University

When people are studying at university, they need not only academic information but also social life. They need relax after exhausting lessons and exams. A university should provide to relaxing atmosphere its students, teachers and other workers. Students, teachers and workers should be respectful to each other’s ideas. A university should also catch up with new technologies such as new computers, new communication devices. It should investigate new things for its students. METU provides everything which you think for a university in your dreams with facilities, flexible learning environment, and dynamic social life. It provides a wonderful living area with its big stadium, gorgeous lake, a lot of gym centers and swimming pools etc. METU also has a lot of socials clubs which help you to meet new friends because social clubs organize meetings.

REFLECTION TO THE LOTTERY

This story is about following traditions without questioning. I find the subject of the story very interesting and striking. I read it immediately after I began to read it, so I think that it is written with a fluently way. The society in this story blindly follows the tradition of the lottery. I believe that if you blindly follow traditions, you may violate human dignity. For my opinion, traditions are safe because you do not need to use your mind in the process of traditions. I also think that if a tradition violates the right to live as happened in the story, it is dangerous. In the story, Tessie protests the process of the lottery (not the tradition) by saying that they did not give enough time Bill to draw, she says this is not fair and she wants to include his daughter into the lottery. However, Eva belongs to her husband’s family. We understand from it that although she was edge of death, she did not realize the wrongfulness of the tradition. The society in this story thinks that if they sacrifice somebody every year, their corn will be heavy. They regard their tradition as reasonable by thinking that way. I believe that this story is beneficial because it gives us a chance to think and criticize our traditions. The society in this story is patriarchal because they give importance men more than women. They are also agricultural society because they think their crops more than human life. Therefore, I believe this story is beneficial and informative for me. 

This video is based on the classic short story, a community of people in a small American town follows an annual ritual known as "the Lottery". The tradition is believed to ensure a good harvest, but it evokes dread in the entire town's people. This is a short film about this short story. In this video actors play very well and I really affect from it. I believe that the story is very good, but this short film is also very good because it shows the story very successfully. I liked it very much and I advice you to watch it. Thanks for this nice and informative short film.

Being a Student At METU

          BEING A PART OF METU

Being a student at METU means that you can live there without any necessity of going out anywhere because it provides you to develop your social skills and to become acedemically qualified.

When you go into its campus,it welcomes you with its spectacular sight.Social life in Campus is wonderful.There are a lot of clubs which serve you lots of activities.In its social life, it provides you concerts,trips,theaters,festivals etc.

In my early times I had a lot of problems about transportation and meal.I got lost a couple of times.Later,I learnt very nice and cheap places for eating with the help of my friends.I cooked some meals which are not as delicious as my mother's meals.Now I know the timelines of the ring and buses.And I also know the short roads.

Being a part of METU is a bonus for me because it is one of the most famuous university in the world according some researchs and its education is wonderful. Especially, it is famous for its English training. Before I came here, I had heard lots of good comments for METU. Now I think these good comments are too little for METU. Finally I am very happy to be here.
