video reflection 2-RIO




           RIO
The reason why I chose this video is courage and friendship particularly relationship with opposite gender. It is about pure inner feelings and experiences. There is a male parrot called RIO. He is fed by a girl till he grows up. However, somehow he could not learn fly as there does not live another bird like him or his relatives.
One day a man sees him and tells his owner that he needs him for his female bird for impregnation as their kind is in extinction. Therefore, the parrots are met in Mexico. Both of birds have hard times until they familiarize to each other. As always they are enemies as well. The enemies want to catch them. However, the parrots managed to escape from their bad intentions.

I really like cartoon films. This is one of my favorites. It influenced me in several features it has. Firstly, the male parrot’s courage affected me. Through the film he cannot somehow gain his confidence but with the help of the female bird he gains it at the end of the film. Then I thought about my own courage and asked several questions to myself: do I have my self-confidence? How I gained it?
Secondly, the impact of friendship in the film influenced me. They help each other even though they were animals. Actually, it is a human-made but it is emphasized. Then the male parrot starts to feel something different feeling to the female one. At the same time she does as well. Additionally, the sense of humor is used very favorably that it urges to listen or repeat. Kind of a funny film it is truthfully.
Also, you know the game named “Angry Birds” were very popular among people especially among young people recently. This game is created by the inspiration of this film.
I advise you to watch it. Enjoy it:)

video reflection 1- BLACK


                  Black is a 2005 Indian film in Hindi and Indian
            English directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.






The movie is about a teacher called Debraj Sahay who comes to teach a mute and blind, eight year old Michelle McNally after her parents get fed up of her daily rough behaviors. Over a span of many years Debraj not only teaches her manners but also makes her a literate and independent individual. He leads her from her pitch black world to one of light, love and joy.

The movie really affected me through several aspects of life. First of all, I understood that we as healthy individuals are very lucky. We have our five senses without any disruption. we can hear, smell, see, touch and taste. Just considering living without even one of them is incredible because you are so get used to live in that way. Beside all these she also had very hard times with controlling her inner feelings. She wanted love and interest. Untill her teacher taught her she even did not have any idea what love meant. She wants to try and have an enjoyment all new things in her life. It is really difficult to live such a way. Thinking or imagining yourself as she, you would probably feel as outworn.Yet, it is her specialty. It is her nature. 

Significantly, the teacher's role in this movie is very crucial. He shew considerable patience toward the child and taught her how to behave accordingly and also helped her take education.


 Overall, Black revolves around a blind and deaf girl, and her relationship with her teacher who himself later develops Alzheimer's disease. The film draws inspiration from Helen Keller's life and struggle.



MARKETING


                                                         ASIAN  MANTI




Actually, its name is not Asian manti I made it up. As it is well-known and preferred in Asian countries, it has different names which are called in every country such as Ozbek manti or Kazak manti. Each kind has differences from each other but generally they are same.

It is one of the most preferable meal in Turkmeistan. It is very tasty meal. It is cooked in a special cooker so it makes it so particular. It is prepared with so much meat in it so hope you will not hate it. It could could be consumed by everyone if she/he is not a vegetarian or has not got any kind of illnesses. The price isaffordable. You could find it in Kecioren in Ankara as well.









So it is the stewpod. It has 4 steps , the step which is the below one  fulled with water and the top ones filled with mantis. The mantis cook at the vapor of the water. Additionally, they are made by hand.

 INGREDIENTS:

FOR DOUGH :                             Here a video which is explained how to make manti but first                                    

                                                         another kind of meal introduced  so I just wanted to inform you.

1 egg

2teaspoon salt

1 + 1/5 glass of warm water

3 + 3/4 cup flour

MORTAR MATERIALS

3 units onion

1 kg ground beef

1 teaspoon black pepper

3 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup of water                                    

    
As mentioned above it is known in Ozbekistan and Kazakistan. The difference is that kazaks make it with mixture of vegetables and baharat. Ozbeks make it as turkmen do so you could taste it in Ozbekistan as well. Turkmens and Ozbeks do it mostly with meat or pumkin.
                                                                                              BON APPETITE:)

Interpretation on "I brain ODTU"- Revised


                      INTERPRETATION ON "I BRAIN ODTU"

The new slogan about METU is quite effective I think. The words of the slogan are really encouraging and chosen very carefully. Ideas that it has also really encouraging.  By investigating and reasoning rather than  satisfying with the existing knowledge, METU members show their potential.They create new ideas and share them and implement. Thinking critically of every extent of life makes difference pretty well so I believe METU carries out all of the mentioned ideas. Furthermore, the visualization of the video is sharpened with mostly red colour. It takes attention of audience so it is effective as well. However, single speaking both effective and ineffective while considered people’s preference to variety. I mean for some people this is the best while for some it is not. I hope that if the speech was spoken in a group or showing short videos from University’s campus or places such as laboratories or conference room could be more effective. From another point, I liked the phrases being used.  Hence, I liked the slogan.

IDEAL UNIVERSITY



                                                     IDEAL UNIVERSITY...
Everyone or student want to be educated in a good university. My ideal university has certain criterion as following:
Firstly, it should be known that is it should be popular among universities.
Secondly, my ideal university should own advanced education system.
Thirdly, the teachers of the university should be professional ones on their branch.
Fourthly, when I graduated from that university I must find both good and stable career.
Fifthly, I should be satisfied with all of facilities which I experienced.
Finally, the students of the university should be friendly, helpful and skillful.
Also, the appearance of the university should be beautiful, comfortable and achievable. Overall, all of the characteristics fit to METU so I like it very much. Just one thing that I had not liked is METU’s location. My friends and brothers said that there is no sea or place to travel at leisure times in Ankara. Yet, my father and grandfather said that your university is located in the capital city and it is the prestige. Anyways, I love METU and all in it.
                   

BEING AT METU-Revised

                                                          BEING AT METU.
To me first being abroad and then being in such a university are my dreams which I dreamt at high school. Being a student in METY means to me having lots of chance and opportunities to access to my goals. This university provides lots of facilities to advance on your branch or even on your interested fields. It could be dancing, playing with instruments, photographing, professsioning on sport activities and many other social activities. Considering my own career I would continue that almost without difficulties because of the education this university gave me. I am very  happy and hope I will still happy. In addition to all METU is the international university so here we could experience or learn many cultures. For example, I have learned many things relative to Turkish culture which I had not been trained such as having three kind of meals in a dinner. Of course,there are some challenges with many satisfying things. Actually, I do not have lots of challenges but I have at least one or two. To illustrate, finding the right place when you need could be one of them. I have lost whole a day when I wanted to enter is100 proficiency exam. I could not get the place when registered so I need have to go and take. Yet, I had no idea where I need to go. Then I went first to Student Office Center then to Computer Center so the latter  one’s employee said me that I need to go to the Informatics Instituition. Finally, I was able to find the right place and get my exam place. Such things happen all the time so I just ask around and cope with those problems. Hence, I am satisfied and I like being at METU.
