Second life is a new technological tool, which is used in different areas.I am one of the users of it and I asked the people there why they were using S.L. I infered from the answers that there are three main groups which use S.L. in different aims.The first of them is to improve their language skill, the second is to get know new friends and third one is education.
The first group is at the aim of improving their language. In second life, there are people from all over the world. In conversations they develop themselves. As they meet someone from other country whose language they have been trying to learn, they wil improve it.
The second group’s aim is to know new people, namely to be more social. There are some rooms to talk to each other. When they join these rooms, as the time passes; they know each other beter and their social life gets more enjoyable.
Moreover the third group uses this tool for only education aim. They attend the discussion parts and discuss the topic that the instructure gives them. The users send their answers of the questions to the instructure. I am one of the users of second life in this aim. There are online campuses to attend classes. I think it is good for education in the progressing world.
Finally, there are three gruops of people that use S.L. as far as I know. Improving their language, getting new friends and attending the lessons are the goals of them. As you see it is used by a lot of people. I think you should get a second life account!!!

my choice...Technology...
We have advanced reading and writing course in which we learn advanced technics of writing an efficient essay. There are two sections different from each other in terms of their using of different materials for course. One of them is based on advanced technology and the other is based on classical methods such as a paper and a pen. When I am asked which one I prefer, it is obvious that I choose the technological one.
If we think both of them, they are both teaching the same things used to write an essay. Their course plan has to be the same as the students who are taking this course are in the same level and have to learn the same things. A student graduated from the technological one will have no extra knowledge when he/she is compared with the one graduating from the classical one in terms of course plan.
.
One of the reasons why I chose the technological one is its relation to computer and my interest for it. We live in a progresing world and as a need of our job we will write essays. We can learn writing a beautiful essay in classical course as well as technological one. But the difference begins here that the second one gives extra computering skills that are very important in our days. In addition to this, I have interest for computer. I love living in technology world.
In term of being beneficial for future, the technological course is more efficient, I think. As you know, our world is developing fast and it is significant for us to catch it. We are going to be teachers of future, we can use the technics of technologic course for our students, too. It is good also that our essays will not be lost in computer in contrast to the classical course as you write your essay on paper and it is possible that they can be lost. We should record our writings to go through our falses.
There are some programmes that are used in the tehcnological course, for example; tapped in, secand life..We use these not only for writing an essay but also for commenting on someone else’s essay and arguing some topics. Commenting on essays will gain us the skill for seeing the falses and editing them. In arguements , we have the chance to see everybody’s idea. This does not take place in classic courses, you only write and read.
To sum up, I choose the technological course as it is better than the classical one although their aims are the same. It is beter to have computering skills in the technology world but I do not say paper and pen are not important. All I want to say is that technological course is preferable in terms of time, seeing falses, recording data, computing skills etc. Now I am taking advantage of joining to technological course.:D

I have a chance to go....
Travelling...That gives pleasure even when I think it. I am sure that everyone on the world loves travelling, exploring new cultures, meeting new people. Needless to say, I am one of them. If I were given a chance to go to anywhere for two weeks, I would be confused. But my answer would be Italia, the city of lovers. My reasons for it are very clear: my love to Italia, my education of Italian, the beauty of the country and their rise with love.
First of all, I love Italia because it is a typical Mediterranean county so it is hot and has sea-side.I am sure that I will enjoy the journey there. There are a lot of historical and natural pieces. In Florance there are two arenas named Duomo and Signoria.As far as I heard, both of them have meanings. And I want to solve these meanings.To say the truth, what I wonder the most is Rome. It is capital of Italia. Rome has beauty that is peculiar to itself.
Secondly, I am a student in Metu and I am taking Italian course as the second language. My teacher tells us that she visited Italia and had a wonderful time there.This really makes me excited and I want to go there. She has us listen Italian songs and they are, I think, wonderful. My other reason to go there is my goal to improve my Italian level. I belive that a foreign language is learned the best in the place where it is spoken as a native language.
In addition to these, when it is said ‘Italia’, what comes to mind is pizza and makoroni. Italia is famous for its pizza. They are specialized in making pizza and I believe that nobody can compete with them. Moreover their makaroni is also perfect. They cook it a bit different from us, they do not boil it as much as we do. And they say this in their language as ‘al dente’namely a bit stiff.
Love and Italia…This link pulls my attention, too. Italian men and women are born with a sign in their heart, as I heard.This maybe real because guitar, river, flowers, Venice…
I think they are men or women of love.
To sum up, Italia has wonderful things to see. It is necessary to taste its pizza and makaroni. Moreover, I should develop my Italian. But I am not sure that only two weeks are enough. However, I want to be lost in the streets of Italia…

MY THREE FEATURES...
Every person has his/her own features. As we look at them outside,we only see some of them.The others are hidden in their owners. I ,myself, have some features that everybody doesn’t know. These are my addiction to my mobile phone,walking without stepping on the lines and considering it as a big problem when I can not remember something that I knew before.
I am so addicted to my cell-phone that I am always with it during the day. No matter when I am sleeping or standing, I pay attention that it is with me. So I always control it and put it near me,for instance; when I am sleeping it is with me under my pillow. I use it as an alarm clock. Maybe you can not believe me but it is real that I sometimes get up and check if there is missing call or unread message. During the day, I always look at it no matter what time is it,sometimes in lessons… Moreover I have free-message in my phone and I feel that I have to finish it. I do not keep the phone away from me.
Secondly, I always pay attention to walk without stepping on the lines. It really disturbs me but I can not stand stopping this habit. When I see lines on the stones, I begin to jump. Sometimes, I realize that I get mad when I see a lot of stones on the road.I also count the number of the stones , it is also disturbing.
Moreover, If I do not remember something, I get mad unless I find what it is. It really makes me angry. I can not focus on what I do.For example; ıf I live this in the begining of the day, it means that the day will go on bad. I always think it and see it as a problem. I consider a lot when I can not take into mind the name of an actor who is acting now in a movie and acted in an else movie before. It is an opsesive behaviour. I think I have to remember everything in detail; I don not forget easily my friends birthday. It is rediculous that my friends usually asks me whose birthday today is.In addition to these, I have problem with songs. When I hear a part of it, I have to go on it and if I do not remember the rest of it, I get mad.
Sometimes I can not dream how diffrent I am. But everybody has some interesting features. The most important thing is to know living with them.
