http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DumonlDwI0

I chose this video because Couchsurfing has a great affect in my life.I discovered CS from an American boy who came my city when I was talking with him a cafe.I advice to all my friends to use Couchsurfing. CouchSurfing International Inc. is a corporation based in San Francisco that offer its users hospitality exchange and social networking services. Today a lot of people travel or host thanks to Couchsurfing In this video people answer that What CS means for them. Someone says that CS is a big experıence , other says it is a international connection , another says that it is learnıng lot of things or being a language lesson or meeting new people and fun. and I love Couchsurfing because I enjoy being able to immerse myself in the worlds of others, as this enables all of us to benefit from each others' shared novelties and broaden our horizons.

  Couchsurfing is truly traveling--not tourism. It is truly a beautiful experiment. After CS ,I learnt what about finding nice people everywhere and sharing nice experiences while traveling, learning from different cultures, traditions and languages in my hometown or while hosting. Not only have I had some absolutely amazing hosting experiences, but I have made countless life-long friends in every corner of the globe.I have a lot of different friends froM different countries like from USA,Polonia,France,Slovenia,Canada,Italy.etc. In the video we can see CouchSurfer's referance. I host appromaxıly 20-25 people and I use CS since 2010 summer. My mission is to share,to help, to meet, to discover all over the world. I love Couchsurfing ! :)

Exercise 1

We have a beagle that loves to hunt and we open he back door for her. She barrels down porch steps into the yard and runs back, forth across the lawn in ecstasy. ,Her nose cruises the wet grass for smells of cat,rabbit smells ,and other presences too subtle for human detection. While she sniffs, she spins her tail in quick circles. Firstly, It spins clokwise ,later spins counterclockwise.It always do these activities at the same times. We seem to propel her along.

Exercise 2

The man who reaped America’s first fortune was John Jacob Astor. Astor, German immigrant, made his initial money trading Indian furs. He was lowborn and illererate.

FROM HIGH SCHOOL TO COLLEGE This is my freshman year and I ll more different than high scholl .I dont have to go to class all the time but I ll do my best about it. There are most responsibilities like studying more, managing time..etc. Homesickness is one of y problems.I miss my parents , sister, brother so much.Sometimes ,I make up an excuse for cry.Keeping myself busy,making new friends , shopping talking with a counselor are good ideas to deal with homesickness.I m a self-confident person and this can help me at my academic and social life.I m both achievement oriented student who wants to get good grades and sometimes deep student who is excited by leraning.Passive students focus on details but I m not ğassive , sometimes I do this.I try to use my study time effectively.About lonelines,I can say that I m not alone.Meeting new people , making new friendship arent very hard for me.I dont think college life ll be so hard for me than high school.

video reflection 1

1.Every year a lot of international students come USA for its more effective education.
Generally,students are very glad to take education in USA. Accoding to Linxi and Krisha students have more opportunity,more beneficial,practical in US education than their country.for ex: Krisha say it based on creativity and team work.

2.Because they think that US education is better. for eX:Linxi decided to take more flexibilty education.Krishna say US education attract her attention.Arata say he used to study different country.

3.Each student talk about differences according to her/his country education system, Krishna like American school because of flexibility ,in herr country it is strict.Arata says people in the USA are more socialable.Linxi finds American towns are smaller and more quite than Chinese towns.

4.Students say it costs about 30.000 dollar for a year.According to Arata it depends on your major and the place you stay.

5.Every student has some adaptation problems in abroad. They have , too. for ex: culture shock of Krisha, communication difficulties of Linxi. and Arata is luckier than other because he becomes experienced by studying abroad before there.


6.Yes,they have.Cultural shock always have experienced by students who are going abroad for education. but later They get used to it.
yes,I ll be some difficulties like other student.maybe,I ll meet a very different people,environment. it ll be hard but it is really perfect life experience for me and I really wanna go abroad .

BEING STUDENT AT METU

I am freshman student at METU. Being a student at Metu is so meaningful. First days of universty almost all student have problems socially ,However,I didnt have. I m so talkative (one of my extreme trait ) open minded , enterprising people and before I begin Metu ,I have already met some students of FLE on facebook . I spent time with my them. We tried to search out Metu’s campus. Everything seemed perfect ,I was independent ,I go Kızılay without permission of my parents. I said myself I m so free . but after school started,finished to gallivant ,I recognized that I was alone at this little dormitory room. I miss my family,my old friend and even my room , my bed so much. The first days ou Metu I bought my ticket for vacation .One day I learnt that I had a Midterm before I came back Metu from my home. I felt so sorry,when I said it my roommates who are Junior or senior student ,They laughed at me and said to me “There are many things you ll learn about METU.” These days, I caviled to cry and After their razz ,I cried at dormitory WC. Fortunately I talked my teacher with my other friends and she delayed midterm date. I have broad shoulders at METU. I have a lot of responsibilities like preparing food myself , staying a place , managing time and money etc.Academically,I think Metu is one of the best universities of Turkey. The education language of METU is English. It is hard for students who arent good at language. METU has the largest library of Turkey in university base. METU has an Olympic-size swimming pool, computer center, There are many laboratories in each department. METU is more satisfactory than I expect. I prefer to go Boğaziçi universty because it is in İstanbul. And I admire to İstanbul. And my first universty preferences are 1.Bogaziçi Universty 2.Istanbul Universty 3.Marmara Universty but later I changed it and choose METU. I m not regret, but being a student in Istanbul always stays within my heart and mind. I believe my METU Diploma ll give me a opportunity to work at my business life in Istanbul. Now, I can say being a student at METU is really perfect , speciality , different.I m lucky to be here.
