                                      KEREBİÇ

Kerebiç is a Turkısh dessert which is famous in Mersin. It has a unique flavour, which gives pleasure to people tasting it. It is widely consumed in religious festivals. The secret of inimitable taste of this dessert is the Çöven root ( soupwort root ). We plan to market this product to France. We believe that Kerebiç will be in a huge demand in France soon because French people are keen on sweet products. We aim to attract them by introducing new tastes such as pistachio and almond. Although cheese is not involved in this dessert, we will use some in its cream, because the French like and consume cheese very much. We will use some techniques to make our product well-known all around the country. Firstly, we will offer the dessert for free at several occasions such as wedding ceremonies, festivals and important meetings. Secondly, we will allocate a considerable amount of money to advertise our product on billboards and tv. We estimate that Kerebiç will be popular in a few months in France provided that we follow these steps. For the debut of Kerebiç, we agreed on a very reasonable price- 9,99 Euro. Our product is intended for the people of all ages. We hope that everybody in France will enjoy Kerebiç from the age of 7 to 70. We found a slogan for our  product, which is THE PERFECT COMBINATION OF FRENCH CHEESE AND TURKS' KEREBİÇ.

ERROR CORRECTION

1) When I first heard that I had been accepted to Middle East Technical University, I was disappointed. Therefore, I did not like Ankara as a city. However, my opinions have changed dramatically over time. Therefore, Middle East Technical University is a really different world in Ankara.

2) It has been only one month since I came here. However, I got used to living in this environment. Therefore, first of all, people from all ages in here respect to each other.

3) I love Ankara, my dormitory, my friends and my department. I am also content with everthing which  belongs to METU.

4) If someone wants to walk , he or she can go and do that. In addition, it is a nice place to go and meet my friends.

5) We can easily see this by watching tv, surfing on the internet or maybe just looking around us. Therefore, there are many people graduating from different kinds of universities, but they're not even able to know what's going on them or they don't even try to find good ways to improve the countries that they live in.

                 I BRAIN ODTÜ

I have watched the video of METU’s slogan ‘I brain ODTÜ’ and I have been impressed from it very much. It makes me proud of myself and I feel lucky to be a member of METU. I think ‘I brain ODTÜ’ is the most effective slogan I have ever heard. Firstly it emphasize that  ‘ODTÜ’lü’ people use their brains mostly and they are intelligent people. It is mentioned in the video that METU people think freely and express their ideas as freely as they think. They do not accept any borders or limitations. Everybody respects other people’s ideas even if they are totally different.I agree with this idea because I see different people in campus everyday and they are talking about their beliefs , sharing their thoughts but  I have never seen any fight or discussion. Secondly, in my opinion, brain is very important figure for our slogan because it emphasizes that a person from METU always thinks and s\he   is never satisfied with the existing knowledge. S\he questions, investigates and develops. For example; I am more curious abaut new things  until i am METU student. I read a lot and imrove myself.  And finally the thought of ‘changing the world’ is especially  important. Like people taking part in the video, I think we can change the world, starting from our  immediate environment. METU is the most suitable environment  to be center of change.  Student, teachers and all staff learn a lot of things from METU  and teach their immedite environment . The change  starts here. To sum up, I brain ODTÜ. This univercity makes people use their brains effectively. It encourages people to be more intellectual.

AN IDEAL UNIVERCITY

A university  is like a world dreamed by  students. But not all universities are in the same stuation. There are common characteristics that many of the students think an ideal university should have. In my opinion, one of the these charactaristics is good education. People expect to be educated

 well firstly and they need successful and tolerant teachers in their schools.

Secondly; Affordable Life. Transportation, sheltering,culturel activities and meal expenses should be affordable for students. Life should not be expensive so students from different social statues do not have difficulty.

One of the most important characteristics of an ideal university is a good campus. I think METU's campus is the best in Turkey. We can find whatever we want in campus. We have gym, swimming pool, library and Çarşı. There are so many clups, communuties and sport teams here.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MY DREAM

Being a student at METU was something that I always dreamed about. I had a lot of reasons to    choose METU. Firstly its great campus appealed me most. No traffic, no buildings except for faculities dorms etc. It is away from city and a world itself. Students have gyms, swimming pools, library and çarşı where he/she can find what he/she wants. Secondly METU gives us oppurtunities to improve ourselves both  socially and personally.There are a lot of social clups,communities, sport clups and teams. Everybody can easily find an event for her or his interests. For example; I attend to ultimate frisbee trainings in tuesdays, thursdays, saturdays, sundays and  watch movies in wednesdays with cinema clup every week. If I had more time I would attend other clups and teams. However, I face some challanges here like nearly all of the students do. First of all I miss my family very much so I often goes to Istanbul and it tires me sometimes. Another challange is dorm life. I stay with three other people. Even if I like them, it is hard to live with other people in a small room. Nevertheless, I get used to these stuations because it is my second year here so I do not have any new comers' problem. To sum up; I love METU! I brain METU! My unıversity dream came true. I am happy to be here  and I enjoy it.
