REFLECTION TASK A1

Hi everyone! I want to talk about myself a little. I am Esma and I was born in Karaman on 9 january 1995. We have been living in Cyprus, Lefkoşa since 2010 but actually i am from Konya.These cities are really different from each other but i love both of them. I have two brother  younger than me. One of my brothers started to his university this year. He lives in Lefkoşa with my family. Therefore, i am sometimes jealous of him. J Nonethless, I love ANKARA , I love being independent from my family, and of course I love METU, its social environment and teacher- student relationship. Being admitted in the department of Faculty of Language Education by METU is one of my goals. Therefore, I am very happy to be here and be part of the METU family. J I like learning new languages, so in addition to English and German,  I have been learning Spanish in Ankara University TÖMER. It is my favorite spanish song.
 
Also, I am interested in Classical Turkish music, and I am playing ney-flute which are considered the most typical instruments of Classical Turkish music together with the Turkish tanbur lute and Turkish kemençe fiddle. If you are interested about ney-flute and its sound,  you can watch this video.
 
 
 
As everybody has a favorite book and movie, I have a favorite book and movie. The book which I really enjoyed while reading is Inkheart. Actually its a trilogy which is series of three fantasy novels written by German author Cornelia Funke, comprising 3 books : Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath. I read these books when I was in High School. I strongly recommend this trilogy to fantasy book lovers.

 Lastly my favorite movie is “Life is Beautiful”. I think people who haven’t watched yet this movie should keep it in their mind.

  1. Dear Esma,

    You gave a lot of information about your background and your hobbies. You like being independent from your family. This is really nice. I would want to be like you. I can't live apart from my family. I like learning new languages,too. I hope I will also learn Spanish in the future. I haven't read these fantasy novels yet,but I will read as soon as possible. Visual aids you used really have made a good impression on me. However,there are some grammatical errors in your journal. For example,in this sentence ' Being admitted in the department of Faculty of Language Education by METU is one of my goals.' we should use the past tense. However,they are not serious errors. You expressed yourself very well. Lastly,you wrote what you have recently done and what you did in the past. I want to ask a question to you. What are your future plans?

  5. Hi dear Esma!
    Firstly, I want to thank you for sharing information about yourself so clearly :) I really enjoyed reading your task. I did not know that how sophisticated you are before I read it. Actually, I liken myself to you. I like learning new languages as you do :) I like being independent but ofcourse I miss my family so much when I am way from them. You musical taste is also very good. And the movie you mentioned about is also one of my favourites. I watched that movie a year ago and I was really impressed. However I don't know the books you mention about. It is the first time I've heard them :) I am sure that I will like them when I read. Thanks again for sharing this information about yourself! :)

  6. Hi my dear namesake:D,
    Things you wrote about yourself are really interesting, funny and fantastic. I really enjoyed , while reading it. Also, I realized that you and I have the same taste of book because I also love fantastic books. I will search for the books you talked about and try to read as soon as possible. Like our other frieds said, there are a fex gramatical mistakes, but I don't want to talk about them. It can always happen and I am sure that you already realized your mistakes. Thanks a lot for making me happy while reading your reflection. Take care of yourself, honey.:))
