 * __ANSWERS&COMMENTS__**

1) I believe advertisements have both beneficial and harmful effects on people.It depends on how they are demonstrated us or until which dimension they are reflected truly.Sometimes,they are shown us as if they were miracle things ,so we immediately buy that thing without thinking.Afterwards,we understand that we are cheated but, it was too late.The negative sides of an ad is that it isn't usually neutral or objective statement.We can find out that it tastes bad,it is made badly,it could be dangerous for our children and so on...As we look at the positive dimension of the ads ,we can say that thanks to ads,we are aware that a service or product is available.We can say that this product worhts buying,it is beneficiakl for our family,it is organic and so on....Since we are adult people,we are less affceted than the children.That is,our children are exposed to be cheated.They are easily affected ,and they say'mummy,daddy buy it buy it!'While watching the tv,they may want jumh foods. Junk foods, such as pizzas, burgers and soft drinks, are heavily promoted during children's TV viewing time. This develops a craving for fatty, sugary and fast foods in kids, thereby affecting their health adversely.This is just one example.However,I can say whether they are beneficial or not depends us.If we are conscious customers ,ads are beneficial for us.However,if are not conscious ,we can be affected badly.As I SAY,İT DEPENDS ON US:)


 * 1) I like listening to pop and rock music.However,sometimes I listen the others which are suitable for my mood.If I am happy,I generally listen enjoyable songs.Conversely,If I have a bad mood,I listen slow songs.There are some singers that it is impossible to end day without listening them.They are Sezen Aksu,James Blunt,Duman.Without listening them I feel as if I'm incompetent.Sezen's voice take me away from the world.I think her voice is unique.Her interpretation ,voice,patches are unique,too.Sometimes it makes me sad,remind me of something taking place in my life.I find myself in her songs,lyrics.For instance,Duman makes me powerful.His songs come to me as if I must forget everything in life.Sometimes,we should forget life,experinces,live at this moment.In short,I like sometimes pop,sometimes rock and slow.:) **

__**QUESTIONS 2**__ **1) I like listening to rock and pop music, but sometimes I listen the one which is the most suitable for my psychological situation. For example, ıf I am sad, I generally listen to slow music, and if I am happy, I can listen Pitbull :) because I think that he generally has enjoyable dance songs. On the other hand, I like dance songs,too :) because I like dancing.**

**2) I can say that music is my life. Music is one of the things which make my life meaningful. I think that music is a miracilous thing for the humanity. I believe that music has some psychological and physical effects on our life, and it was proven with several experiments too. I shared in my blog some of its effects. First of all it si good for your psychological well-being. If you choose right kind of music for you, it can help you feel much more healthy and feel relaxed and happy. The other effect of music is on your physical well-being. Music helps your behaviour and physical abilities and physical combination develop more quickly and properly. Therefore, I am of the idea that music is miracilous.**

__**QUESTIONS 1**__ **2) I didn't buy any product just by seeing on the TV or just by reading from newspaper. I think that it is not rational to buy a product just by seeing from advertisements because you can be deceived by the advertisements. Advertisements sometimes can exaggerate th features of the products they sell to attract more customers. Furthermore, products may not be as effective as they show to us. As a result, I am not effected easiliy by the advertisements. First, I ask somebody who use that product to make sure whether it is good.**

**( AYBÜKE UZUNCA )** __QUESTİONS 1(SÜMEYA SAMIKIRAN)__1) Firstly, I think that advertisements have a great effect on us in terms of being both harmful and beneficial.They force us to make something new or buy something. Mostly, they accomplish their target, because they present and give the message of its own secretly. On the other hand I think they are more harmful than being beneficial. For instance, if there is an advertisement about a toy or candies, childrens want it as soon as they see it, because they are affected much more than adults. The advertisements are usually made for them. They are created as enjoyable, colourful,childlish and interesting.Then, childrens want to have them even if it is not necessary or beneficial. In addition, if an advertisement for an adult, there is always a beatiful woman even the product is not related with them in any case. Advertiser are always trying to draw the attention of everybody. They only try to sell their products. Then, people are buying them unconciosly. As opposed to, I think sometimes they are beneficial, because we learn about developments in technology, products,education,that is, all things in the world thanks to these advertisements. We learn the costs, qualities,companies and improvements. Furthermore, we can make people hear us by this way. We can make a video about what we say and what we want from people to do for us or for everybody. It reachs more people in a shorter time. Moreover, we can effect people in this way. __ QUESTİONS 2(SÜMEYA SAMIKIRAN) __ 2)Actually, I love all kinds of music but I like rap and metal music a bit more.I like them because both of their main issue is miseries in our lives. Sometimes, I want to hear those who has suffer the same things with me. It relaxes me and I think music should makes us feel relaxable. I care the lyrics of songs. I think it is the most important part of a song if it wants to give a message to human. On the other hand, I think some songs which have not lyrics are much successful than these ones. Altough they do not include any word, they can give the message more effectively. It changes from singer to singer or group to group but I think Apocalyptica is the most successful group in that issue. They can give the misery, love or hope in their songs. I always listen them and be sure it is more relaxable. Moreover, I listen rap music but only a singer in this type of music, Sagopa Kajmer. On the other hand, I listen him everyday. I have never slept at a night if I do not listen a song of him in that day since I have begin to listen him. He makes me cry and I feel such as a guilty people who is the causes of all mistakes in the world if I keep stoping to speak for wars or another human mistakes. On the other hand, I think I am innocent for all these bad things, because what can I heal all the minds?at least, I am opposite these wrongs in opinion. Lastly, I want to tell that music has a great effect on me. It makes a big sense on me. Question about topic 1 (Arzuw Shypayewa) I thınk generally advertısements are beneficial but there have harmful effects also. Today it is impossible living without advertisements as we see them everywhere such as TV, streets, internet and so on.I said they are useful because people cannot go or know lots of things or places and advertisements help them. For example, most people wacht TV and they can see or learn new products and even buy them without going there. İn addition, we can buy beneficial or healthy things with the help of advertisements but sometimes they can be fake or even harmful for people so we should be careful.

Questions 2 (Arzuw Shypayewa)
===** 1. I cannot live without music and I like all kind of music but most of the time I listen to rock and pop music. I think no one can live or should not live without music because music is life. When I am happy I love listening lively music but when I feel unhappy or sad I listen to slow music. In addition, I listen to music when I am studying, sleeping, travelling, cooking and even doing houseworks. If person listens to music he or she will never get bored as music gives energy and helps feel happy. My lovely songs are Baglandym by Myrat Öwezow who is a well known Türkmen singer and My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion and so on. Also I like a song Bagt in English Happyness by Akyş Saparow, who was Türkmen's famous singer, as he clearly says what is happyness and what are important or who are important in our life. **===

ANSWER FOR THE TOPIC 1 (Fatma Şeyma KOÇ,Sect.03,1869908)

1) Are advertisements beneficial or harmful for us?Can we trust the advertisements on television? These questions have occupied people’s minds for many years.In my comment I will be looking at this issue from two perspectives.It is an undeniable fact there are both positive and negative effects of advertisements.I would like to start with the positive ones. Everyday we see advertisements of many products on television.By looking at these commercials we can learn about the most suitable products for us.We can compare many brands,and choose the most qualified one.On the other hand,advertisements can be harmful for us.To illustrate,we may be encouraged to buy every product that we see on tv,but the products may not be of good quality at all.Also,children might be badly affected by advertisements.For example,when children see fast food commercials,they are more likely to consume unhealty foods .As a last word,I can say that in order not to be destroyed by the negative effects of ads, television companies must pay more attention to this subject.They must show the commercials that are sure to be effective and of good quality.

ANSWER FOR THE QUESTIONS 2 (Fatma Şeyma KOÇ,Sect.03,1869908)

1) I like listening to pop music most.In particular, I like English songs because listening to English songs helps develop my listening skill .My favourite musicians are Katy Perry ,Evanescence,Enya,Rihanna and Akon.I think I like this genre most because of popular trends.In today’s world the young population are used to listening to pop music.However,I also like listening to folk music.Unlike the songs that are released today,folk music has an everlasting effect on us.Whereas I fed up with pop music after I listen to it a couple of times,I am never bored of listening to same folk songs over and over again.I think it is related to the quality of music that was made in the 1980s.In addition,I prefer slow music.I am a sentimental person,so this kind of slow music is my preference.Lastly,I can say that music is like a medicine for our soul,and everybody has a difference option of music to heal their spirit.

//Answers for the questions of the first topic (Merjen Yomudova):// // I think that advertisement is the hugest tool of all fields including showbiz. Customers, clients buy the product being attracted by them. Actually, advertisement is beneficial when it is not exaggerated. It is beneficial when it simply gives information about product and advice it to buy, not by lying. In addition, I am sometimes affected by the advertisement. To illustrate, I obsessed by some trends and marks and what is interesting is that I am not satisfied if I do not buy items from the trends, which I follow. Finally, my view point for the last question is that the power of advertisement is the significant catalyst of economy. Millions of dollars are coming from exported products, so the economical position of the country depends on its ads. // // Answers for the questions of the second topic (Merjen Yomudova): // // Music is the part of art, which is developing and impacting people much more effectively, nowadays. In the past there were just several simple instruments by which one can play basic music and what about now? Music has divided and dividing to several types such as pop, rock, classic, jazz, metallic and others. Moreover, these types of music affect so much that one can easily predict what kind of music he or she is listening to. For example, rock music fans generally wear dark black clothes and they are long haired, while pop music listeners have a preference for sport wear. On the whole, if one is tired or angry he or she listens to classic or jazz, and rock or pop when they are content. Consequently it differs from person to person when and what kind of music they should listen. Actually, I am listening different kinds of music depending on what I am doing. To illustrate, in the mornings and while I am doing housework I listen to pop music or news, and classic music when I am doing my homework because pop music gives to me energy and I can finish my task quickly, while classic music makes me concentrated on my lessons, and sometimes I need silence to think;) //

// ANSWER FOR THE QUESTIONS 2 ( HAZAL ÖZDEMİR) //

//2) I strongly believe that music has an effect on our life. First, babies sleep with cradlesong, and music makes them more intelligent than normal, especially classical music. Secondly, some mentally ill patients are cured by slow music. Above all, every person wants to listen music according to their mood just for relaxing or make themselves happy or sharing their emotions. For instance, I listen slow music when I feel romantic, and I listen upbeat music when I feel happy. On the other hand, a person who can play any instrument can express his/her feelings more easily by means of music. You can be interested in music whenever you want by listening or playing any instrument.//

**Answer to Question Topic 1:**Ads? Uhmm, it does not sound strange to my ears. Is that what is used to introduce or promote a product? Yes, yes. Advertisements are the shortest way of introducing a newly-released product, maybe a computer, a chocolate, or sometime a car. Are ads harmful? They might be. Are they beneficial? They too might be. In what ways? Let me tell you. In my life, I have never bought sometimes as I have seen it on ads. Ads cannot affect my choice of something. If I like to have something, I get it without thinking or getting confused. I know that there are, however, many people who tend to be affected by these advertisements. Especially children get their parents to buy something that they have seen on an advertisement. The elements and the context of an ad is surely an important part of it. Neither an effective slogan nor a visual image should influence my final decision about a product. Ads can be useful for introducing the features of a product, but it should not change your mind at all. **Answer to Question 1:**I like listening to soft music pieces that do not bother my brain. That is, pop music or sometimes upbeat music affects me and my emotions. Other than this, I am in the opinion that we should keep our traditional way of listening to the music, which is called Turkish Folk Music. Today, artists singing these kinds of music pieces are regarded as legend amongst the elderly people. New generation addicted to high-volume-music, however, does not support or listen this traditional music. It is my idea that one should listen to both traditional and current music pieces. I also do so and enjoy pop music, metal music and folk music too.

- First of all, i would like to say that as everyone i myself also strongly think that music has a great influence on our life. Music is everywhere and it is part of our life. There are many genres of music, instruments and many singers. Everyone has different kinds of music appreciation. I believe that this appreciation shapes according to our way of our life styles,our thoughts and our mood. In some cases we see music as a therapi for ourselves. For instance, when a person broke up he or she let himself or herself go with the rhythm. Or when a person get a good news he listens dance musics. At disko we dance with techno songs. Therefore it can be said that music become integrated to our life. To be honest, when I study i listen classical music. After studying, i listen Serdar Ortaç`s songs. The lyrics of Serdar Ortac`s songs are meaningless but i do not know why those songs give me energy. Sometimes i listen folk songs when i drink shisha. As i said before music is part of our life and we listen different kinds of musics according to our mood and life styles.

 * COMMENT FOR THE DISCUSSION QUESTION " WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF THE MUSIC IN YOUR LIFE?"**
 * EMBİYA ÇAĞLAR ÖZTÜRK - 1870435**

** HİLAL ŞEN ** ** What is your opinion about advertisements? In your opinion, are they beneficial or harmful? ** Before we do shopping, we investigate the prices of the products which we will take and we try to buy the cheapest one of them.If we don’t make necessary investigation, we can have a loss by paying a lot of money.Advertisements help us give information about market and also give a little joy to us at this point.We learn what to buy, where to buy, why to buy thanks to advertisements.However, advertisements may not show the truth always.They show the better sides of the services and products generally.Nevertheless, we should also take into consideration missing and poor sides of them that are never mentioned.In spite of all these, judging advertisements as beneficial or harmful is wrong because advertisement is an instrument and using it good or bad is in our hands .Advertisements help many social campaigns succeed such as fight against drugs, family planning, traffic education, environmental clean-up, reading habit.All of these shouldn’t be ignored. ** Have you ever bought any product under the effect of an advertisement? If so, did it meet your expectations? ** Advertisements have an important place in our lives.We see them at break-times after a show program, news, cinemas, movies…People create such attracting advertisements that not wanting those products is impossible, generally .They sometimes meet our expectations we enjoy what we buy, but sometimes we may not be satisfied.I want to give an example about this subject.My aunt is a patient with migraine.One day, she saw an advertisement about a cream which heals migraine headaches.She was impressed by this advertisement and bought a cream by paying 80 tl.The tube of the cream is very small, also. Anyway, money which is spent for the health is not important,though.However, it didn’t work so my aunt felt cheated and sorry, i think she will not do shopping again relying on advertisements.We can have such disappointing results.They can be deceptive.In my opinion, we should have a chance to try before we buy the products.
 * In my opinion, the music has a reasonable effect on our lives. I believe that it is one of the most important factors affecting our psychology. For example, listening a lively song in the morning lets you have the energy you need for an active day. Similarly, listening slow songs makes you calm. Besides, some scientist believe that babies gets more intelligent when they are subjected to classical music. In fact, it is proved that even a glass of water reacts against the music. That's to say the molecules in water changes depending on the genre of the music played. Actually, the music is so important to me. Thus, I wrote a journal and shared it on my blog. The ones who want to see it can visit my blog "ayhevnoaydia.blogspot.com" Thank you for your project :)**

= = =Answer for Question 2 ( Züleyha Agirsoy, 1634591 )=

I am not listening to a particular kind of music. I am listening to pop, rock, R&B,hip hop,classic..etc.
===Music takes an important place in my life.The first thing I do every morning is turning on the radio befor I go to the bathroom. Sometimes I try to imagine a day without music, but it seems really impossible for me. I need to listen to music when I am at home, on the way to university, in the kitchen when I am preparing meal, in the bathroom when I am taking a shower, at every time during the day. The only thing that changes is the genre of the music. For example, when I am having lunch or dinner I don`t like to listen to loud and beatful songs. I prefer classic or slow pop music. Otherwise I cannot enjoy my meal and the loud music causes headache.=== ===However, when we are at home with my friends and for example, tidy up my flat, then we prefer listening to loud pop music. It motivates us and we enjoy our work.Sometimes there are some discussions about the choice of the songs, because we can not always agree on the same song. In such a case, we regulate it the following way: each of us can open a desired song. So all of us get happy:)===

= = = = =** Answer for Question 1 (Züleyha Agirsoy,1634591) **=

===I think advertisement makes up a big percentage of the whole economy.Everywhere we look we can see advertisement.It is not only on TV where we are used to see it, but also on streets via bilbord, at every sport match, from tennis to basketball, on concerts or in cinema. The effect on the consumers is so huge that the companies spend big amounts of money for advertisements. Most of the people say that they don`t care about advertisement, but if you ask them about a special advertisement they surely know it. The companies pay a lot of money for famous people in order to attract the interest for their product. Most consumers don`t even realize that they are affected by an advertisement. In most cases the people remember the face of the campaign rather than the product. I usually switch to another channel when I see advertisements, however sometimes I watch it because of the famous person, who acts in the advertisement.For example, I remember an advertisement of FIAT, where George Clooney acted. I watched the advertisement only of the reason that he acted there. So the company has reached it´s first goal: to attract the interest of the people.===
