In my last essay, I talked about technology, and its good affects to our lessons. I said that in today's world we should be using it in our lessons. Our teacher might have guessed our ideas that he prefers to use it. One of the interesting material that we use in our lessons is the game: Second Life. we know a lot of are fond of online games. And this is one of that games. The question is why? I think this may be because of it is enjoyable. It is also helpful for our lessons, language skills. And cretaing your very own world is a irrefutable offer... :)
As we use it because of our teacher's suggestion, we can say that game is beneficial for our lesson. Talking with other people in this game will improve our language skills, especially daily speaking skills - which we most need- I think. Sometimes we do lessons via SL. We do beneficial activities which helps both; learn and have fun. SL is the modern world's education equipment. I can suggest everyone to improve their language in a enjoyable way, as we do. It's a way to use the language more actively...
One of the most attractive features of this game is I think the ability to create your own world. You can be whomever you like. You can dress like you want, and behave the way you like. Also you can do the things you want to do in real world, but not have the opportunity to do. I mean it is a good way to express yourself. Many people would like it. But be careful for it to not capture you. Real life needs you, too. :)
With the help of SL, people will have the facilities to have friens all over the world. Who wouldn't like to get to know people from different cultures? You can meet them, have chat with them. Actually you can talk your friends, too. Do whatever you would like to do... As you see it presents many facilities to have fun.
To sum up, there are many things to do with Second Life. I am pretty sure, at least one of them will attract you!

breaking the habits
The most important thing in the education is to take the attention of the students, and make them be interested with class. That's why we should try to be as original as possible. Unless we want students to sleep in the classroom. I guess no one would like it. That's why I prefer to be in a class which doesn't help me to sleep.
In our time, most young people spend much of their time on internet. Using internet is one of the best ways to keep us listening our lesson. As modern world's children, we always look for different things. The classical type of teaching lessons, doesn't help us to be in active in lessons. As time changes, the methods used needs to be changed, too. When we become teachers, I think our student's will be more interested in internet. So we should follow all the new technologies to not to be disgraced to our students.
Besides, internet is very usefull with our lessons. We can search for unknown words, for example. We can listen music, do another kind of listening to improve our ability of listening. Reading some texts also helps to improve language skills. It is a necessity to use internet. Classical type of teaching doesn't help to all these.
The materials are good ways to take attention of students. As I said we are all crazy about internet :) So when compared, pen and pencil seems simple and inadequate. Internet helps us to be more creative.
As you see, internet is the best way to teach in our time. We should be brave enough to break our habits.

misunderstanding people
It was the first day of the high school, when I saw a girl sitting on her chair with an arrogant glance. I thought I can’t stand this kind of people, and I was pretty sure about that my judgement about that girl was true. But interestingly, when I accidently had a conversation with her, I saw that she was nice, kind and surely not arrogant! Believe it or not, after a while, we became best friends! This event gave me and idea about the truthfulness of first impression. First impression can sometimes mislead us, because the people we are judgeing can be in a bad mood.
Sometimes we can have hard times, so we can’t be ourselves. Even if I am cheerful generally, I can seem unhappy because of the things I’ve been getting through. So I can expect from people to understand this, but they may treat me as I was the one whom they first saw. First impressions may wrong us, but can we avoid to make judgements?
There can be some situations in which I can’t change my ideas which I had when I first saw the person. This proves us the importance of first impression. I think everybody makes some judgements, and these are hard to change. I mean, this is not particular for me. I know that my all friends do that. So, when we first met someone it is quite important to give a good first impression, to be remembered as a good person.
To sum up, first impressions can mislead us, and they aren’t to be trusted. But anyway try to seem as yourself when you first meet someone.

Introduction-Thesis statement: We, all people, are in some way resemble each other. But every one has some differences, some secret charasteristics. Sometimes one can be aware of this, and sometimes can not. I really had no idea about what makes me different from other people. I thought about it deeply. It was hard for me to differ myself from others. Then I was able to recognize my differences. First of all, when people see me, they think I am very shy, but when they talk to met hey get shocked to see that i am very talkative. And one of the different feature that a have is that a can’t drink water while walking. And there is a fear of me which is about of a think that would catch me from my ankle while i was sitting in my bed.
