PEER EVALUATION-2
First of all,the design of the blog is amazing.I liked the background picture.Her writing was good,too.She wrote her opinions and feeling very well.That dream is so pretty.I suggest her to make it real if she believes that she can do it.The structure of the paragraph would be in order, but she used the words properly.There are not any grammar or spelling mistakes.She used enough and appropriate connectors.She started the paragraph with a proper sentence and finished it accordingly.That she mentions about her old experiences strengthens the paragraph.

PEER EVALUATION-1
It was a well-organized paragraph and I like its content,too.I couldn't find any grammar or spelling mistakes.She used the right words.Also, the transitions among the sentences were well-organized.The way that she tells the film makes me want to watch it, but isn't it a bit long?I think it should be shorter.That she writes her own opinions in the paragraph makes it more interesting.It is not a difficult writing, so it can be understood easily.Her usage-of-words is good.She used the connectors appropriately and sufficiently.

I was born in a coast city-Alanya- and I grew up there,but last summer we moved to Muğla where is my parents' hometown.It was very difficult for me to leave from Alanya, because I spent the most beautiful times of my life there.The good point is I started the university at the same time and I don't have to spend all the time in Muğla except for the holidays.Since last year,I have been saying that 'if Metu weren't,Ankara would be nothing for me', because I am in love the sea.I wish our school was in a coast city.While living in Alanya,I was going to the sea whenever I want, so I was used to that.I miss the crowded and coast smelling streets of Alanya.Also, I miss its castle and looking through the perfect view of Alanya.On the other hand, there is nothing to do in the city center of Muğla.It's not different from Ankara but the summers.The touristic attractions in Muğla are so beautiful.They are one of the places to be seen.In that sense, I am lucky for living such a nice city.

I chose a TV serial for this writing.Suits is a series about the lawyers life.Harvey,who is a lawyer in New York's dearest firm, needs to hire an assistant and he meets with Mike accidentally.Mike is a very genius person, but he couldn't finish the university, so they lie about Mike's graduation.This is the main topic of the series, and they come across many incidents.I started to watch it a couple weeks ago, and I loved it.Both the topic and the characters are amazing.Especially,Harvey is a wonderful lawyer.He is really charismatic, and this is one of the reasons that makes me watch.I sometimes have difficulty understanding the conversations, because they use special terms about attorneyship.The conversations between Harvey and Mike can be very funny.Thus, the seriosness in the series goes down.I sometimes envy them, because I would like to be like them.I would like to be as genius as they are.

If I were a jury member of the committee choosing the person of the year,my candidate would be Elif Şafak.She is my favourite writer and her books are amazing.I like reading her books.I read the book of hers -'İskender'- for the first time and I continued to read others.It was a great story with full of surprises.What I like in her books is that she writes informative things in the stories.She sometimes tells something about the history.However,this harmony is not boring.As for her private life, she is a well-educated woman.She graduated from Metu, also she studied for master degree and postgraduate.She has written many books so far which have been in the bestseller lists for a long time.Besides,that she writes her books in English is really fascinating according to me.I find the writership as one of the hardest jobs, because you need to transfer your opinions and feelings to the readers as well as have a creative imagination.The most important part is being able to communicate with people.On that sense, Elif Şafak deserves to be the person of the year.

really enjoyable to watch it, because
there are magic,love and the characters that we love. It has such
a
good scenario that we cannot quit watching. Besides, it has full of
surprises. When we think that
everything's over, another things happen. For instance, new characters take part in every season.

The
interest in beauty is growing and growing nowadays and there are some
reasons for it.
First of all,the media have immense effect on
people.Famous people's beauty secrets are told in TVs or magazines
everyday so people are tempted.It's a fact that nearly all famous
people are very good-looking because they have undergone lots of
plastic surgery or used lots of cosmetic products.Another reason is
the social influence.Especially the young women have a tendency for
looking like the celebrities.Therefore,so much money and effort is
expended in order to look like beautiful and charming in
society.Moreover,some women have operations in pursuit of a great
body or being size zero.Aylin Aksoy Çoban who is a psychiatrist
gives an interview to 'Elele' magazine about this topic and she
says:''Be at peace with yourselves and accept your body as it is.''
To sum up,people are obsessed with beautifying
themselves through surgeries or cosmetic products because they are
affected by the media and the society.

METU is one of the most reputable universities in Turkey so I am proud of being a student here.I was able to get into METU thanks to my regular and hard workings.There were extra points for us but I entered this university by my own efforts.While I was making university selections,I especially paid attention to choose the universities which give quality education.Actually,my first choice was Boğaziçi University but I am not sorry about that.I am happy for being at METU.Last year,I was in preparatory school and it was easy for me.Hopefully,I won't have so much difficulty this year.I like studying English but I have difficulty in speaking and I hope I will cope with that and improve my speaking in the next 4 years.Being a department student sometimes scares me because I have to study more and hard and I don't know if the midterms and finals will be compelling for me.However,how hard lessons are,we need to study.Besides,when we need to,I hope our teachers will help us in this period.I really want to improve myself and increase my knowledge.When I graduate from this school,I want to say myself that:'I spent my university life succesfully.'For now,I see myself as a fresh English teacher in 5 years' time but the time will tell if I am going to busy with academic stuff.
