Roy Makaay is a footballer whom I admired since my childhood. It was eight years ago when I saw him on TV. At that time, he was playing football for Deportivo FC. He made a good impression on me and thus I started being more interested in football and the footballers in Spain. Makaay is a handsome and also attractive man, if I mention about his physical appearence. It is possible to say that he looks in his mid twenties in spite of the fact that he is in early thirties. In addition, he is quite a tall man who has almond-shaped eyes and crooked nose. He has a puffy face. Besides, I have heard he coplains about enormous moles on his face. Nonethless, I'm really pleased to see his perfect talent in the playing-field.As for his personality, he is sympathetic towards everybody; he always has a simile on his face. Moreover, I can say he is a cooperative person in both his real life and his football life. For instance; in the football area he's always ready to give anyone who falls down a helping hand. in spite of being each other's rival. Although he has negative qualities like other people, he is my favourite football player.

My friends and I made this house by trying hard. At first, we thought that we wouldn't be able to design it. But then our effort was useful for building the house. Firstly, we decided where the house would be and made up the floor. Secondly, we formed the walls and roof. Finally, we completed our work by painting the walls and roof of the house. And you can see the persons who dealt with creating the house in the picture. Actually, we could make a better one, yet none of us understood how to construct it and we didn't have enough time. Nonetheless, I think that we made a good job of it.

THE EXCITING EVENING

Last year one night, I was going from school to home.It was about 9.30 p.m. since I had to stay at the school some works. During the day, I had studied without break. Therefore, I felt so exhausted that I wasn't able to see even houses, clearly. Suddenly, it came to my notice that someone was standing in front of the Yılmaz's house. At first, I thought he was an expected guest who came to visit them. On the contrary, he was an uninvited guest for them. That mysterious man was trying to set their houseon fire. It wasn't a dream. I was able to make out his action, clearly. As soon as I realized that he intended to set the house on fire, I started to shout to him. When he heard my scream, he wanted to escape from there. He didn't manage to do at the first attempt and fell down, clumsily. But then he was able to stand up and began to run away. Even though I wanted to chase him, my tiredness was an obstacle for it. It just so happens, a police car was driving on the sama street, at that time. The police noticing the dangerous situation, startad to run after the guilty man. In thet circumstances, the man managed to get away with it. Everybody who heard the noise was in the street, then. Especially Yılmaz and his family were really panic-stricken. Someone must have wanted to kill them by the look of it. Having been questioned by the police, I went back home. However, I couldn't sleep well at that night. Afterwards,order was restored again, as for the strange man, he is still on the run.

On the first day when I came to METU, I felt uneasy about the university life. However, my fear disappeared in a short time. I am aware of the strange features of METU as I get knowledge about it.

In METU, we can see many students who behave in different manners since every person has his own opinion and belief.It seems to me that, it's possible to categorize these students in three groups. Firstly, I want to mention about individuals whose dream is building a career.Generally, they intend to work in foreign countries in order to improve their language and own a comfortable life. They are not interested in social activities so that you observe they study lesson routinely. I can say that they are normally in an isolated situation, too. If I talk about the second group, they are connected to their own university programme and they don't have a desire for career. It's sufficient for them to be able to find a job after graduation, so they not only concentrate on their courses but also allow time to participate in activities. Lastly, I will show the third group in this classification. The students in this group come here for just entertainment and they are member of many social group. I wish I were like these students who know that everything doesn't mean studying.

All in all, I am pleasant for being in METU and having a chance of meeting different people.

MY BEST FRİEND

Saniye has been my friend for four years. We were always together during our friendship. For instance; we had shared the same desk for three years at high school, both of us went to Lithuania and now we are at the same university, fortunately. I don't remember a day when we have separated from each other.

Saniye is a beautiful and also sweet girl, if I mention about her physical appearance. She is of medium height, neither fat nor thin. In addition, she has a puffy face, brown eyes and a crooked nose. I must say she is an attractive girl with her blonde and curly hair. She is normally casually dressed.

As for her personality, she is sympathetic towards everybody, so she always has a happy smile on her face. She is very good-natured and generally has time for a chat. Moreover, she's always ready to give anyone who needs a helping hand. She tries to be tolerant to people in spite of her stubbornness. She spends a lot of her time studying for lessons and surfing on the internet. What's more, she likes playing chess but hates swimming.

In a nutshell, she is a perfect mate for me. I hope that our relationship will never break up. She will be in my mind and my heart during my life.

I want to visit Dubai if I have a chance for going to another country in the future. I am in Dubai in this picture even though it's not real.

In this picture, you see India Ocean which fascinates people with its beauty. Palm trees in front of sea draw the big attention. What's more, you clap eyes on hammock between palms. It's also impossible not to see the bird flying.

The weather is really enchanting, the sun is about to setting down. Waves and the sky are in accord with each other.

It must be relaxing to sit on the hammock and watching sea, continuously. I offer everybody to visit Dubai as they have a opportunity.
