Like people,places may be unforgettable and indispensable.For me,the most unforgettable and indispensable place of my life is the backyard of my house. It reminds me of my family besides of happy and peaceful moments I shared with them.

Moments of happiness and peace are the most important features of the back yard of my house. There I had very good times with both my family and my friends.We played games and wacthed the stars in the sky at nights. I feel very lucky to be able to experince these things.
We had big family dinners in the backyard and chatted for the whole afternoon. These dinners were different from ordinary ones.Because it was in the fresh air under the shining sun. We will continue to have such dinners when the time is convenient again.

This special backyard,at least to me,is green and lively all the time. There I can listen to myself and my own inner thoughts. Because I can get fresh air and lay down on the ground so that I can think about things in peace and silent.
Because of all the things I mentioned above,this place is important to me. I know that everyone has a special place as mine.
Finally,I hope that these special places keep their beauties in our minds forever.

The 'so-called' excellent campus life

The Fle department of Metu is the dream of many language students.So we are lucky to be those who were accepted in this department.But once you get in,you may realize that the thing which seemed perfect before has some shortcomings now.These are the issue of registration,the location of our department and the diffucility of transportation and the defiency of facilities around our surroundings.

I remember my first wednesday in Metu.That was the day of registration.The procedures about registration were so confusing that I would never manage to registerwithout the help of my friends.I wasn't even sure about the courses I was supposed to take and I was expected to do it online.There were advisors to help us but they were treating us as if we had registered ten times before.Besides,we had to wait for them to approve our registration.In front of the advisor's door,there were lots students waiting for them.So if I had the chance I would like to make things easier for new beginners and make things more clear about registration.

'The campus life is excellent on Metu'.This sentence is somewhat familiar with all of us.Most of the time,we hear it from visitors to Metu.But when it comes to our department,we know that the excellent campus life is far away from us.Arriving to our department was a kind of torture for me at first.Altough it's easier for me to get there now,some difficulities still continue.If you miss the last ring bus,you have to walk all the way through the stopping place.Imagine it's winter time,you wouldn't want to be in this situation.It damages you both physically and mentally.Moreover,we don't have wonderful trees around the department.The image out of our window is only the buildings and a street.So I would like to replace our department on Metu campus and locate it near the dining hall.
Lastly,most of the time we miss the date of varied facilities.This is because we are away from 'Çarşı' and the organizers don't bother to make some announcements to our department.Sometimes I hear some of them from my friends who aren't even the students of Metu and I feel ashamed.What is more is that we have nothing to do in our break times.We don't have enough time to go to and turn back from Çarşı so we have to stay in our department.We have to dine in the cantine.If had the chance I would build a complex composing of dining and entertaining places near the fle department.
As for the conclusion, altough almost everyone in our department is aware of these problems there is no action to take in near future.But at least we can come together and raise our voices.Then next generations of fle department may enjoy it more than we did.

Hidden Sides

As human beings,we are such complicated creatures that we always have hidden sides and features.Altough we try hard to introduce ourselves to outsiders, some sides of us may stay unheard.I also have different sides in me and I will write about three of them.Fisrtly,since I was a little girl,I’ve been dreaming of travelling the whole world on my own.Secondly,I started to learn ice-skating because I feel liberated and independent on ice.Lastly,I’m keen on mirrors.

When I was a little girl,I was wondering how big the world could be.After I looked into a map to compare the place where I stood to whole world,I was dazzled with its greatness.Since that day of realization,I’ve been dreaming of travelling the whole world.The worls is so huge that sometimes I feel like imprisoned to a zone which has no exit. There are so many people to get know and so many languages and cultures to learn outside.Besides,there are places I haven’t been to and there are feelings I haven’t felt yet and this makes me feel shallow time to time.

I’m especially fond of my my independence and individualism and I feel these when I’m skating.I was already roller skating in my childhood but recently,I’ve started to learn ice-skating too.When I took my first steps on ice a week ago,my instructor was suprised to see how comfortably and smootly I was moving.Then I told her about my past with roller skating.She told me that this could be a reason for my comfort on ice but I definetely had a talent for this sport.I believed in her words until I fell and hurt my back an hour later.Whatever,it makes my life exciting and makes me feel liberated and independent.So I’ll keep on skating.

There is another feature of me.It is somehow weird tough.I can’t stay away from mirrors. When I wake up,I immediately search for a mirror to look at myself and most of the time it’s on my nightstand.There are lots of mirrors in my room and I always carry a little mirror with me everywhere.I know that it may sound narcissist but this habit has developed naturally not because I love the sight on it.For me,the matter of fact is that looking at mirrors is of no wortyh unless you see your soul and essence inside.

Sometimes it may take time to realize and confess our hidden characteristics.However,everyone has some secrets and I hope you’ll be the first one to explore yours.
