ARTICLE REFLECTION 1

      OBESOGENIC ENVIRONMENT

In her article  ‘Supersize Me: It Is Time To Stop Blaming Fat People For Their Size’  Alison Moltuk argues that instead of blaming people for their overweight, health officials turned their attention to obesogenic environment which means a set of conditions that made gaining weight much easier in the last few decades.  The writer stated  the main reasons of obesity clearly in her article. According to the article, the number of obese people is increasing day by day. There are some main factors which cause this situation  in USA.  Food is cheap and plentiful thanks to the wide spread affluence and agricultural subsidies. Prevalent culture incites obesity because it leads to unhealthy form of life. Another reosan is lack of physical activity. I agree with the writer totally. The tendency to become obese is clear in these days. People consume fast foods excessively that cause to bad outcomes. In comprison to past, the number of parents working is higher and they have to leave their kids at home. They cannot find time  to cook and eventually rely on fast foods.  Secondly, because of technological developments, people can find cheap food. There is a redundance of food in USA. Finally, insufficient physical activity is a big problem for healthy. Schools should be more careful about this issue. Children should be encauraged to do sports.  To sum up, the obesogenic environment made gaining weight much easier because of technology, changing culture and lack of physical activity.

Dear Tuğçe,

Firstly, I liked your reflection  to the article about friendship. You stated your ideas clearly. Your language is clear. Secondly, I agree with you and your ideas. As all people cannot be same, all friends also cannot be equal. People  need all of them but not on the same plane. 

It is good to read your articles.  

Thank you!

My Dear Friend Zeynep,

Firstly, whenever they say 'Zeynep' and 'sports',  volleyball comes to my mind.  We have not played volleyball together yet, but I know how much you love it. Secondly, I liked your article. You stated your thoughts clearly as usual. There is not any mistake as I can see. Your language is clear and fluent. It is really fun to read your works.

Thank you for your efforts 'kanka' :)

Dear Orhan,

First of all, I think you made a good point. The topic you chose was an important value of Turkey or 'Turkland' like you said. I studied Arifiye Anatolian Teacher Training Highschool for one year.  It was a village institute at once. I can see their differences with normal schools clearly. I liked your article.

Thank you for your efforts.

Dear Serhat,

As you know, I like Yasmin Levy too. She has many beautiful songs. I like the way she portrays love however melancholic is it. Turkish figures make me familiar to her music. I also like your article. The video is nice. There are some gramatical mistake , but I liked to read it.

Thank you for your efforts.

HERE COMES THE RAIN AGAIN

I want to share with you one  of my favorite songs : Here comes the rain again. It is created by an English pop group ‘Eurytmics’.   Annie lennox and David A.Stewart  produced this beautiful song by working together. The theme is  a love that is very  platonic nd trajic. The song  portrays  the melancholy between thel over’s heartbreak and  the rain. After  Hypnogaja covered  it , Here Comes The Rain Again became popular around  the world especially in USA.

Here Comes The Rain Again Lyrics

Here comes the rain again

Falling on my head like a memory

Falling on my head like a new emotion

I want to walk in the open wind

I want to talk like lovers do

I want to dive into your ocean

Is it raining with you?

Talk to me ? like lovers do

Walk with me ? like lovers do

Talk to me ? like lovers do

Here comes the rain again

Raining in my head like a tragedy

Tearing me apart like a new emotion

I want to breathe in the open wind

I want to kiss like lovers do

I want to dive into your ocean

Is it raining with you?

Talk to me like lovers do

Walk with me  like lovers do

Talk to me like lovers do

              So talk to me  like lovers do

Walk with me like lovers do

Talk to me like lovers do

Here comes the rain again

Here comes again now...

Thanks to this song, I believe that covers can be better than original ones. Only one negative  thing is that this song makes me cry easily. It is like a depression machine. To sum up,  I strongly  recommend  you to listen this piece.

Dear friends,

Gaziantep is one the most beautiful cities in Turkey. I think you made a good choice. I like your sub-categorization.The song, picture and video good. It is fun to read your text. It did not bore me. Especially the cuisine part is very very and very excellent. After I finished contextual grammar works, I want to go to Antep and forget everything :) Thanks for your efforts.
