FREE REFLECTION TASK IV

Education must depend on environment, failures, being self confident and choosing a role model for life although it is misunderstood by the society from past to present inasmuch as it is thought that schools are the only place where people can learn something important for their life and the information is acquired from just teachers. First of all, students can learn knowledge by experiencing or observing. Thus, teachers must allow them to learn by themselves. To exemplify, teachers can set forth a problem to students. They do not tell them how it will be solved. Then, students can learn about the problem by investigating from libraries or people who have information about it. Secondly, students should be thought that making mistakes is not an irreversible thing. To illustrate, when teachers give students a task that they will do it for the first time, they can fail. Nevertheless, making mistakes is usual since mistakes are steps that provide them to become successful. When they do the same task again, they will do better owing to their experiences. Thirdly, students should be guided to choose a role model whom they will stimulate. For instance, teachers want students to identify someone who is respectful and dedicated himself  forthe sake of other people in their life and want students to prepare a video about these people thatthey chose by using their own voices. In this way, they will believe in themselves because they express their ideas clearly. All in all, education should be related to environment, open to mistakes and it should give students to self-confidence and help them to choose a role model who will shape their life.

In “7 Ways to Develop Good Habits in Language Learning”, a blogger who is the writer of this article states the reasons of developing good habits in introduction of paragraph and then how we will be able to improve ourselves in learning a language. He explains the effectiveways of language learning. This article consists of seven ways which are forming goals,physically assign a place for studying, pacing yourself, making use of dead time, taking on a30-day challenge, improving your self-control and knowing yourself. There are some pointsthat I agree with the writer of this article published in a blog since I believe that this articlewill guide me about what I should pay attention to learning a language. First of all, I shoulddetermine my goals and know myself. To illustrate, I can choose a goal that is specific andachievable. Instead of thinking of learning a new language immediately, I should limit myself,e.g., I want to learn basic knowledge about language such as vocabularies used in the daily life or sentences that provides me to communicate with a foreign. In this way, I am notdisappointed unless I dream like speaking new language fluently. Additionally, I should knowwhich method is the best for my effective learning. Because of the fact that every people has adifferent learning style, I should choose a effective learning style such as watching foreignmovies, vocabulary cards, listening foreign music or taking notes. I shouldn’t compare myselfwith other people for they can learn faster and easier than me. Comparing myself with otherpeople causes only frustration and disappointment. Secondly, I should choose a appropriateplace for studying and learn to use my time efficiently. To exemplify, if I choose a place, Ican focus on my task, however, I can be careful about which there is nothing to distract myattention. In addition to this, while I am going somewhere, I can value my time by listeningsome short videos or music. I can prepare myself a working plan and I should try to study in aplanned way.  In conclusion, determining my goals, knowing myself, choosing a place forstudying and using time efficiently are issues that I have consensus on with writer of thearticle. I believe that these suggestions will help everyone to learn a language effectively.

IMAGINE

“Imagine“  by Şevval ÇAYLAK

Imagine there is love eveywhere

It’s too clear if you look around

No hole below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living with love

Imagine there is no pain

It isn’t hard to see

Nothing to hurt or sadden

And no cruelty too

Imagine all the people

Living with love

You may say I’m an optimist

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll belive me

And the world will be paradise

Imagine no war

Think if you can

No need for evil or murder

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Living with love

You may say I’m an optimist

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll belive me

And the world will be paradise
