Why people are using second life?

I went several places in SL to chat with people about why they are in Second Life.According the answers I got the people in there can be categorized into three groups.First of these is the ones using it for making new friends,broadening their social environment.The second group's purpose is just having fun and they are using it to enjoy or to have some good time.When it comes to our third and last group they are making use of Second Life for their lessons.They claim that it can provide easiness for their studies in some aspects like developing their communication skills.They say by writing frequently their skills are getting well.

Second Life Description!

My name is Tugce Fyanucci in Second Life and I took a picture of a place I liked in Roma Centro-Piazza Di Spagna-Spanis.In this picture there is a lake in which a mother duck is swimming with her ducklings in a peaceful manner.There is a road furnished with rocks and it is seperating into two different directions
one of whom is turning towards to a door of a site which is surrounded by walls.The walls have grass on them and they are making the site a lovely and attractive place.We can see a sculpture in the site and there is a light-brown building most probably it is a house.There are two huge trees in the other part of the way they are contributing a different feature to this environment other than all of this there is a wide green area.I think this view is so beautiful that it can give anyone tranquility.I would want to be in this peaceful place and waste my time while watching ducks.

My Best Friend!

My Best Friend!

I will introduce you someone who is very important for me because she is my best friend.Her name is Meltem,she is studying in METU like me but our deparments are different;hers is Chemistry Engineering.She is staying with her family in Ankara,their house is in 100.yıl 5 minutes from A4 so we can go there oftenly.She has a very sweet mother whose name is Umit I love her so much also,she is like my second mother when I become sick or have a problem she and Meltem always help me,they are really very excellent people.I met Meltem in METU Scouts last year and we were in the same stage in prep school;thus,our friendship developed quickly.Last year we were going camping almost every weekend and we were having really good times with our new friends but I was getting along with Meltem the best and in weekdays our lessons were finishing at the same time and we were doing lots of things together.Our interests are so alike that we sometimes think even we are the same person or something like that.When it comes to her physical appearance she is a very lovely person with green eyes,and her hair is reddish now.She is interesting in photography different than me.Our music taste is so similar ;her best group is Pearl Jam,we both like Pink Floyd,Dream Theater so much.We tried almost everything together for example;we went archery course altough we don't like it we continued because if we do something together we can enjoy whatever it is.We were very sad at the beginning of this semester because we were thinking our departments' being far from each other end our lesson hours' not being same would prevent our seeing each other and we wouldn't be able to meet as often as we did last year but it didn't happened so.We are keeping in touch consistently,at least we are eating one meal every day together with our friends from last year.I am going her family's house at least once a week because her parents are in Datça for one or two months,we are watching tv ,telling each other about our departments,speaking about what are we doing in last days.Already we are both in METU Litarature Society and we are reading same books,we have same opinions about life and other things.In weekends we usually meet with Meltem and go Piraye Cafe which is in Nazım Hikmet Culture Center while we drinking our teas,we read our magazies or books,talk and discuss with each other and this is the thing we enjoy mostly in last days.I feel very lucky for being friend with Meltem she is a very modest,honest,intelligent and understanding person we always be happy when we are together and from now on we know although we are in different departments and there are some obstacles in front of us,the link between us will bring us together under any circumstances.

(I put two photos of Meltem and me which were taken in Metu Spring Festival last year.)

INTRODUCTION

Hello!My name is Tuğçe Nur and I will introduce myself briefly.I was born in Balıkesir in 26th February 1991.My parents are teacher and they are living in Balıkesir and I have a brother 13 years old,who is studying for the SBS.I am staying in dormitory 7,which is located in campus.I started school one year before my peers and last year I came to METU which was my first choice in OSS.The prep school was so easy that I have lots of spare time to do things which are not related to lessons; thus,now I have a problem of doing homeworks,concentrating on lessons, getting accustomed to studying after one completely lesson-free year.I hope I will encounter this problem in a short time otherwise my laziness will be a real problem for me.When it comes to this lesson I believe we will learn while enjoying what are we doing and it will provide us to remember the things we see and learn because we will have done everything ourselves.Thanks for giving us this chance.
