I think I improved my English but I couldn't improve myself. I educated myself including after schools.I tried to get many infomation as possible but I couldn't educate myself physically. I couldn't stay strong. This school and this program want from students to be a self-confident students. Also you must survive in this school. The IB program may aim "communicator" students but you are by your own in the "communicator" path. First you must find the power inside of you then you should start to communicate. Everyone waits to see you to take a step, so I don't think that I took a step I tried but not enough. Every time there is a way that you can do better but I didn't want to see them. It was hard for me, but now I should do it.
I tried to do everything in English. I watched videos, read articles, spoke with myself in English at home. I tried everything to improve my English. But I would have done more things. I can agree, that I am competitive and ambitious and I am not proud of myself because rhis caused mento can't be strong, my friends started to make a distance. I look my results and can't see any improvement. Maybe I can tell what I want in English but this does not reflect to my written activity. I don't , that is my idea.
Even so I got the researching skills, studying skills and I am more open minded. I csn look at an event in different ways, I can think like "What will a person do in another country?" so I can compare a lot of things. I can say that I an IB student, at least I'm on the way. I am addicted to get new infirmation and this makes me happy. In some ways this addiction cause me to be competitive like first page of my portfolio "I won't give up" but I sometimes think to give up and move to Finland.
In the 2nd term I will stay more strong and educate myself physically and I will be more organised and self-confident. I hope I could do it. Good luck for me!

The Biggest Pioneer in Turkey: ATATÜRK
The Biggest Pioneer in Turkey: ATATÜRK
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. The founder of Turkish Republic, the Ottoman Empire and Turkish soldier. He was born in 1881,Salonika. He went to military schools to become a soldier. His first war, which he participated was Itola-Turkish War on 29th September 1911. He battled and protected some lands in Ottoman Empire despite this the other fronts didn’t succeed and Ottoman Empire lost its lands. After that he participated to World War l on 28th July, 1914. He succeed one of his fronts and became known. His fronts were Syria, Çanakkale and Caucasian. With the end of the Tsarist Russia the front got closed in 1918. In Çanakkale Mustafa Kemal’s forward-minded feelings guessed, where enemies could attack, and he with his fellow soldiers defended that front with their all strength. A lot of soldier died but they could save Hellespont. This victory wrote down as both loss and victory on 18th March, 1915. However the other fronts were lost. A mean, though agreements were coming for Ottoman Empire. The Armistic of Mudros and then Treaty of Sèvres’s terms were open-ended and argumentative to leave the country unprotectless for siege. The guns and weapons were taken, the army was disbanded and Bospurus and Dardanel were occupied. Mustafa Kemal took advantage of this situation and with Sultan’s permission went to Samsun as a general inspector to solve the complexity. However his main goal was to start the Turkish War of Independence. He went to Samsun on 19th May 1919, when he started Turkish War of Independence. He organized the Turkish public with his circulars and congresses. Also he and his politician friends established a report about Turkish public’s independence and sovereignity on 28 January 1920, unfortunately these principles weren’t accepted by England. England occupied Istanbul and closed the council in Istanbul. Atatürk established a new war council on 23 April 1920 in Ankara-the safety place-. It was to represent the public and its power. At the same time a public army (Kuvay-ı Milliye) was making a war. Because of the public army’s loss in a war, Mustafa Kemal built the regular army. The fronts, that they battled, had only one defeat. This defeat didn’t stop them to continue. The war after that was Battle of Sakarya. With that war, they stopped the Greek advance on 13rd September, 1921. The biggest war was the last war, The Great Offensive. It was the attack time. The victory of the Great Offensive (Aug. 26- Sep. 9,1920) ensured to Greek army to withdrive from West Anatolia. End of the war Armistic of Mudany was signed between Ottoman Empire and Greece on 11th October 1922 . The Turkish War of Independence was finished with that agreement. As a treaty, the Treaty of Lausanne was signed on 24 July 1923. This treaty solved the Caputulation, war compensation, borderline (except Hatay) and minority problems. After this independence they focused on to develope the country. On 29 October 1923 the Republic of Turkey was established. Mustafa Kemal Pasha’s goal was not only to make a war. His goals were to improve the country as Western countries. His principles were only science and education. He made lots of revolutions about politics, education, language, social life, economy and secularism.
He got his Atatürk name in 1934 by Turkish public. He died on 10th November at 9:05.
Editor's Note: The Tukish public owe him. If he didn’t do these things, we wouldn’t know what we will be doing now. Maybe I couldn't even write this at my peaceful home. He is the biggest leader in Turkey. He is still in our hearts and the youhts are following his footprints to protect our country.

The End off The Week
On 20th January Barack and Michelle Obama went to Palm Springs California who have the gossips about buying a house there to purifynfrom White House. Palm Springs was always a place, which has the most skilled, well known and some of the coolest -20th- century architecture and where the old presidents like Gerald and his wife Batty Ford stayed.
The resort have been developing and being famous since the late 1920s, though its style formed solely after WWll. When Frank Sinatra earned his first one million dollars he went to Palm Springs and wanted a Georgian style mansion by architect E Stewart Williams. Hoewever Williams built Twn Palms a very modern and poolside house where Hollywood's Rat Pack had fun and Ava Gardener threw pottery to her fiance.
That house was a symbol of Sinatra. In a period of time somw rookie architects with Le Corlouiser, Frank Floyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and some local architects. Like George and Robert Alexander were building copies of those houses, by 1965 the Alexanders built 2,200 modernist houses. Unfortunately the town was better in the past. People were enjoying of thşer cocktails listening to jazz whose houses had cactuses, canyons, pools and palms.
In February the locals will celebrate the midcentury design at Modernism Week. Visitors can join to these celebrations to see the most famous houses like Sinatra's. If you don't have the chance you can read Australian photographer Tom Blachford's book named "Midnight Modern". It has got really colorful photographs like the photos of intresting buildings and 1950's cars that calls you to the next party. The photographs attrack you a lot.

Used to
When I was a kid I used to play some interesting games. I used to play Barbie and Bratz. I liked most their clothes. I used to dress up them. Sonetimes I was making them arguing. It was funny. I had other plastic toys too. They were "Littlest pet shop" toys. I used to collect them. I used to buy their homes and accessoires too. They were cute and tiny. After I had bought the plastic ones I started the buy the plush ones. Also I was always playing with my friends. We had a game called "Evcilik". I used to be the sister. Anyway these memories are great and joyful. I wish we could go back these times.
Complaint about th summer camp
Dear Madam,
I am writing to you about my Summer Camp last week with Bonny Tour. First, as there was no direct flight the journey took seventeen hours with delays. Then we arrived to hotel, thenrooms were smelling bad. They were not also clean. When I wanted to take a shower, I realised there was no shower. There were only common bathrooms and showers. It was so emberassing. The food was not free either. I had to pay for a toast.
On the first day of the summer camp we had not done anything about English. The teachers were not native speakers. Ond teacher was French and the other was Indian. Even if there is nothing about nationality , I couldn't understand what they said because of their accents. There were no sport activities at all. We have just run two laps then we were sent back to laundry. At first I thought everything was okay but when the weekend came they didn't let us go shopping or cinema. We went to a cafe and sat there for three hours.
When I reminded the director about the planing he shouted and said that what I had been waiting. It was really disappointing. Agter that I decided that the accomandation was zero. With this costnit was a really humiliating camp and behaviour. I would like to have a full refund of my money.
If the situation will not be solved, I will be looking forward to get a response.
Your sincerely,
D.A.

Book Recommandation
Kürk Mantolu Madonna was written vy Sabahattin Ali in 1943. It is a romance book set in 1940s in Germany. It was published first chapter by chapter then it was turned into a book, since then it has been a best selling book in the bookstores.
It was a love story between a man named Raif Efendi and a woman named Maria Puder. One day Raif Efendi goes to an art exhibition and one self-portrait of a woman attracks his attention. He stucks there and starts to visit that gallery regularly but someone has eye on him too. Again when Raif Efendi visits that gallery a woman comes near him. First Raif Efendi thinks that the woman makes fun of him but then he learns that she is the painter of the portrait. In that moment Raif Efendi falls in love with the woman with no escape and the relationship begins.
The plot is full of both literature and romance and the story between them is really interesting. Raif is an introvert, melancholic and a silent type who doesn't only love art but also books. His love Maria Puder is an attractive, genius as well as an unusual woman. Another criticism about the book is the story was good but the and was a bit too classic like other romance books.
To sum up the book is both emotional and romantic. If you enjoy romance, it is a fluent story with a great litrature. I would definetly recommend reading this interesting book.

The History of Chocolate
First chocolate was consumed as a drink. The first cacao residues were found on the Pacific coast of Chiapas. They belong to 1900 BCE. After that Olmec people grew cacao beans in South America in 1700 BC.
Later Mayans saw an animal eating a fruit of a cacao tree. That cacao tree was grown by Olmec people. Then Mayans learned how to use the fruit and beans. They started to make drink of chocolate in 400 AD. It was an important drink in the past. This drink was only appropriate for the royal family, ordinary people could drink it rarely because chocolate was expensive and hard to produce.
By the 15th century Aztecs met with Cacao. The rulers, priests, rugged soldiers and famous traders coul drink cacao or chocolate. The Spanish inventors Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cartes presented this chocolate drink to the Aztec King in the 16th century. The investors took this drink to their homeland and learned how to prepare it.
This drink consisted of ground cacao beans. Aztecs used to add pepper and some other ingredients to the drink . However, Spanish people were drinking it sweet. After 80 years the melted chocolate was sold in England to make chocolate bars. In this way a lot of chocolate houses appeared. Now we are consuming chocolate in various types.
