Mobile Beauties!

Hello everyone!Previous day, while I was thinking of how could I practise and how could I learn something about English effortlessly, I figured out that I had a phone and it was a smartphone!

I thought that there are lots of  infinite applications, from games to making foods. I thought that Why is not there a application that supplies my desires. After a little search, I realised that I  was not wrong! Actually, I did not have the faith about the application but when looked little bit more, I figured that how it was benefical.

What was the Application!

The name of the application which I found was Babbel. It is a appliation that has colourful and funny appearance. 

It has the shorcut image like that. It is paid application and also there is demo one.

How can I use this application?

Indeed, using the Babbel is not difficult. Application leads us already. The most intereseting part that draw my attentiın is giving samples from daily life and teach some certain patterns by that way. Actually, it is really appropriate for the ones that go abroad regularly and even better for making yourself understood in countries that you can not speak their language.

It makes information permanent by supporting the given information with visuals. This is nice but according to me that while learning a language, we should not depend upon memorizing. Because for a moment we see that we forget the patterns that we memorised. On the other hand, it is really appropriate application for those who learn the language for the first time. Have funny in advance !

Digital Story

In this trailer, we have tried to create a digital story with Bora. This story is mainly based on whether our bond of friendship is strong or weak. There is a huge discrepancy between our jocund appearance and real situation, which creates tension in the story. The trailer is mostly about this tension and the sustainability of our friendship. While making this trailer, we had lots of fun but at the same time we thought that this kind of an activity is quite contributing to our improvement because it is useful both in terms of using technology actively and having a self-reflection. Thanks to this activity, we had the opportunity to see the strengths and weaknesses of our speaking ability. Furthermore, we gained lots of insight about benefiting from technology in our way of teaching because students not only have fun but also learn the desired outcomes simultaneously with the help of this activity.We kept those ideas in our minds while making this trailer and had a great time. We hope you enjoy it!

FILM REVİEW

Bora and me tried to understand and examine Saving Private Ryan.
The film affected us deeply.

Saving Private Ryan was released in 1998. The movie was directed by Steven Spielberg It is a drama that describes the hardships of 
WW2. The movie is notable for its realistic portrayal of war. Ti» m Hanks. Edward Burns. Matt Demon and Tom Sizemore are the 
outstanding actors of the movie. The scenes were shot in Ireland and England. 

The film begins with a visit to a cemetery by a veteran American sodier And the film flashes back to 1944 the Normandy Invasion. 

Captain John Miller survives from the battle and gathers his man_Meanwhile in Washington Generals find out that three of four brothers 
of Ryan were killed in war. This means a ticket to home for Ryan. Captain Miller and his men is commanded to find Private Ryan and get 
him back. But the duty becomes a death trap for ca ptain and his men. 

The movie ls gret with its battle scenes. You can feel the bravery as the soldiers right It tells the true stories about conditions of a war 
the mood of the people who were in the war for years. the places seen as a paradise today was the most severe fronts of the war. it 
reminds people the bad days they had and makes some of them proud about their history 

The reason why I suggest this movie is that firstly one can see the bad effects of war and do everything to avoid from it and secondly the 
power of the human being is unparalleled and this power can be the source of many improvements for the future.

In this work, I tried to defend  my own idea in 60 seconds to make the world better place to live. For some circumstance I had to do this work all alone. Writtten above is lyrics of my voice message.

What I will say may disturb some people and authority! But I am sure my opinion absolutely will work!

To make the world a better place, driver licenses must not be  given to the women. Yes ! You heard exactly what I said. Actually, we should take this situation in two way. The first way is directly related with women and the other one is caused by women.

We all know women are really excited, concerned and careless particularly while driving. I think that this is totally natural condition, they cannot do special effort to beat it. Think that what if a careless  female-driver faces with a car suddenly? Ohhh, It hurts me!

The other reason to get the driver licenses from the women is  caused by women! Especially, slow-driver, amateur, glitzy women drive the male-drivers mad thanks to their movement in traffic!
After a while, if a male-driver who was driven mad by women in traffic causes a car accident, do not be surprised!

Now, women please drop your licenses off and make the world better place to live.
