***REFLECTION TASK 1A***


  Hi,everyone! I am Esma. In this report, I want to talk about and introduce myself. I am 18 years old and studying a department that I love. 
  Firstly, I can talk about things that I like. I like cooking and trying out new recipes and I am interested in Korean cuisine. One day, I will absolutely eat an original Korean food.:)) 


                                        


  I also like books. While I am reading a book, I feel as if I was in that book, a different world. Besides, watching film-especially ones that are fictional,adventure,horror,etc.- is one of my favourite spare time activities. In addition, singing, looking for new music,watching Korean TV series and translating are my favourite activities. Although my voice is not so good, I like singing English songs.:)) Also, when I am fed up with some of my songs, I try to find new trends and enjoy doing that. 
  Watching Korean Tv series is absolutely a great activity for me because I like the way they live,eat -nearly everything about them. You know, my interest in Korean cuisine has started with Korean Tv series. Yeap, these are my favourite activities.:))
  Well, I have finished a Korean Tv series recently named 'You Came From The Stars'. My roommate advised it to me and I really enjoyed watching it. It's theme is really different,interesting and funny. I advise it all of you:)
   
YOU CAME FROM THE STARS
The boy who is the main character is so cute,right? :D


  Besides, my last book that I read is 'The Fault in Our Stars'. It is absolutely incredible and worth reading. Although I generally read fictional novels,I have loved this realistic and dramatic novel,also. I think everyone should read it. After I have read the book,I have watched it's film and I am glad to see that the book and the film are not different from each other. I pay attention to this because films sometimes may be relatively different from books and I do not like it because the book is the original one. 






                  So, I have talked about my interestings.That's it. Take care of yourselves.:)))

MOVIE TASK-ANGER MANAGEMENT

In the film 'Anger Management', the main character -David-  is a withdrawn person, i think. He is so hardworking and he has a problematic boss. Although he deserves more than he has, his boss doesn't give him promotion. At the same time, i think that David has some problems due to his past . When he was a child, he was ridiculed by a bully, just as he was kissing the girl he liked. So, everyone laughed him and it seems that he cannot forget that bad memory. For example, he cannot kiss his girlfriend who is more relax than him when there are many people around them.However, the main part of the film starts with a coincidence in the plane while he is going somewhere for his job. Because his seat is taken by an another man, he has to sit in a different place and so, he meets Dr. Rydell. 
  Dr. Rydell is a very different person. I want to say that i couldn't get whether he is a genius or a stupid person until the end of the film. When David sits in the place his near, he is watching a comedy film and he suggests that he should watch that movie,too. But David has no headset; so, he wants the hostess to bring him  a headset. She says okey but she just carries on talking with an another hostess. He says to her again that he wants his headset but because he touches her arm while he's talking to her, she says that he should calm down. I think this is so nonsense. That poor man just wants his headset. Anyway, in this way, police is involved and David finds himself in the court. The judge finds him guilty because she says he has hurt the hostess and so he has to take anger management course. So he starts the course and many funny things happen. He is seen as guilty even though he isn't. 
  I think that he is actually an angry person. He is angry because he let people domineer him so he is angry with himself. However, in the end, he understands himself and sees that he should show his feelings and reactions. He gets this point in a really funny and an eventful way but he achieves this. Moreover it's all thanks to her girlfriend because at the end of the film it comes into the open that his girlfriend arranges all the things because she is aware of David's situation. She is really great:) So, with a really helpful therapy -i suggest this one,too- he learns how to manage his anger and i think this is for all of us. :)))
  
CHINESE NEW YEAR
The biggest and most popular of all Chinese festivals is The Chinese New Year, an exciting and colorful holiday falling anywhere between January 21 and February 19. The New Year is celebrated by Chinese people all over the world and they parade through the streets and set off fireworks. People pay visits to friends to wish them luck and prosperity with a greeting that means 'happy greetings,and may you gather wealth.' On the final day of the year, preparations are made for a great New Year's Eve supper. All doors are sealed with paper strips and no one may leave or enter until the next morning. Businesses are closed for days after the new year begins. Children receive presents of money in red envelopes; therefore, no wonder they look forward to this festival.
ANIMAL CARE IN ZOOS
The earliest known zoo was the Park of Intelligence in the province of Hunan and it was started by a Chinese ruler about 1150 B.C. Today, zoo facilities are limited and zookeepers cannot keep every animal on display year-round. In the winter in colder climates, most birds must be brought indoors but zookeepers cannot always keep each bird on view for the public. Although many visitors are surprised to see that some animals remain outside all year, penguins,polar bears and timber wolves are happy outdoors in wintertime. Some animals are always indoors in northern areas;for example, reptiles and small desert animals always have indoor displays. Zookeepers must provide indoor shelters for large animals such as elephants, imagine how large those shelters must be! Today, zoologists understand much more about animal behavior and zoos are being designed that are similar to the animals' natural habitats. Viewers can closely observe animals at animal parks, where animals roam free. Zoo kitchens keep a wide variety of foods which are used to prepare meals that meet each animal's nutritional needs. Zoos contribute to wildlife conservation and nurture species that are in danger of becoming extinct.
