VIDEO TASK

'Rachel's sister'

This video is from 'Friends' series. I chose this video because it is very funny. I also used it for my presentation before. This scene is about conversation between two sisters 'Jill and Rachel'. This scene happens in the Rachel's home. In the home, there is her friends. Jill comes to the sister's home. Rachel is surprised to see her. They embrace each other. Rachel introduces her sister to her friends. Rachel start to tell about her situation immediately. She says the reason why she has come to there by saying that she argued with her dad. Her dad cut her off because she bought a boat for her friend. When she is speaking, she says that Rachel is the only daughter dad is proud of. Rachel is bewildered and do not even believe that herself when she has heard it. I think that this is the most funny part of the video. Then, Rachel gives her sister some suggesstions about the things that she need to do in her life such as getting a job, getting an apartment. She says that Jill could stay with them. I think that they are very sweet and it is a very funny scene. Watch it! I am sure you will entertain.


Have a good time :)

Reflection Task 3


Hello everyone, 
As a jury member of the committee choosing the person of the year, I want to introduce you to my candidate 'Angela Moore'. Angela Moore is a successful entrepreneur. She has already founded two companies. Her first piona teacher was her mother and later she graduated from the Eastman School of Music. Her classical refinement and passionate performances have delighted audiences worldwide. One day while she was about to perform on stage she had an allergic reaction to a body lotion. As a result of this she decided to develop her own line of skincare products. She started experimenting to find non-toxic creams and eventually launched an organic skincare line. Her degree was in music, not business, so she sought advice from respected businesswomen who were going through similar experiences. She went on to create an online community for female entrepreneurs. She says her success in business is due to her training as a concert pianist and, of course, hard work. Due to these reasons, I want to choose her as the person of the year.

REFLECTION TASK 2B                   

                                     

             Pantomime is a form of musical comedy stage production, designed for families. It was performed during the Christmas and New Year season. Modern pantomime includes songs, slapstick comedy and dancing, employs gender-crossing actors, and combines topical humour with a story loosely based on a well-known fairy tale. It is a participatory form of theatre, in which the audience is expected to sing along with certain parts of the music and shout out phrases to the performers. In this pantomime video, the pantomime artist Carlos Martinez is performing live in Utrecht, The Netherlands during Mission 99 conference. He is doing the mime 'The Rose'. I have chosen this topic because I have an interest in the pantomime. I watch the videos about the pantomime from time to time. I enjoy watching them because they are funny and entertaining.

REFLECTİON TASK 2A

       Hello everyone, I want to mention about possible solutions to the problem of tourism threatening the ecologies and cultures. I have chosen this topic to say because we have a house in a touristic region harmed by the tourists. Nowadays, there is a booming tourism in the world because of people's desire to see new places. Although it is considered as a good thing, it leads to several serious problems threatening the ecologies and cultures in these regions. I think that there may be possible solutions to the problem. Initially, the problem of the degradation which is caused by the tourists, may be prevented by taking several initiatives that aim to promote a new tourism culture, based on the responsible use of the environmental resources. However, it may be costly. Another solution may be the expensive air travel because cheap global air travel results in the travel boom. Finally, educating and informing the people may be solution to this problem. We should be sensitive to this problem and conserve our beauties. 

                           BURGER KING

I used to have a lot of money
People would work when I was on holiday
Now in the morning I think why I am alone
Can not have something done I used to make the people done
I used to have a lot of money 
Listen as the crowd would say
Now the Burger King is absent
One minute I can not believe
next the crowd approached to me
I discovered that I had been dreaming.

REFLECTION TASK 1B 

      Hello, today I am going to introduce you to Alena Anis who has not been known much but should be known more due to her beauty, qualities and accomplishments. She was born in Greece in 1990. She graduated from one of the most important universities in Greece. Throughout her university years, she decided to improve herself. She took the tennis course from a very important tennis instructor and she is now playing tennis very well. Then, she did her master's degree on political sciences. However; her dream was different. She wanted to be a model since her childhood, but in these years, Greece had a very hard time. As you know, the crisis including modelling hit all the business fields in Greece. Despite all these, she did not give up her dream and decided to go to Turkey. In the early days of her in Turkey, she despaired to realize her dreams. Then, luckily she has met Acun Ilıcalı and she is now competitor in Survivor in Panama. I believe that one day, she will be a most famous model all over the world thanks to Acun Ilıcalı.
