Post your journals here.

2nd JOURNAL ENTRY

While surfing on the net, I have found a very interesting website that I want to share with you.
On the website you are asked to draw a pig and based on your drawing, there are interesting clues about your personality. For example, I am a positive and optimistic person.
Your task is , of course if you accept, not only to visit that page and learn about yourself, but also to write a journal entry reporting your results comparing them with your actual personality. If the webpage gives some clues about yourself, give me some examples. If not, tell us how you are different.
Remember I also did the test and found a bit about myself there. Have fun!

Dear Ömer5
I am happy to hear that the results were quite realistic.Let me tell you something about your listening.Babies learn speaking by listening. The more we listen, the better we can learn.

Dear sevkiye5,

First of all, I would like to thank you for your compliments about the activity. The results may not be reliable depending on your instant mood. If I were you, I would try it once more.Do not let people hurt you. I am an adventurist, too. :)

Dear Alikemal5,
You think the pig is a liar.That's possible.
By the way I am not convinced with your examples that the pig does not tell the truth. In addition, you were supposed to write more to complete this task.

Dear GülçinHereni,
I am very happy to hear the fact that I have surprised most of my students including you. I will try hard to keep on surprising you but do not expect a lot :)
Can we say there is a certain amount of similarity between the items we draw and the way we live the life? Why pig ? I can just guess that it is a very common animal in the Western society. What about drawing a dog?

Dear Burcu6,
Thank you very much for writing your journal earlier than required like some other friends. I know it is difficult to draw a pig since we don't draw pig in our culture very often. Good job you could do it. I am not surprised with the fact that you have found something from your personality. So did I.

Dear betülmirasyedi5,
Thank you very much for participating in the activitiy. Sometimes test might not be able to tell the truth. You do not need to get angry :)Besides, you are supposed to write MORE.... Rewrite your journal in more detail.

Dear Gurur5,
Thanks alot for your journal entry and positive comments. I am happy to hear that the test gives some accurate information about your personality.The more risks you take, the more you successfulas long as you define the risk correctly.Also,risk takers are good language learners.Your Turkish proverb translation certainly made sense for me. I wonder if it would for foreign readers...

 
At 10:11 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Burçak6,
I am surprised that you are not happy with the activities. If you have any other alternative activities, they are always welcome.
PS: Here you are supposed to end your 2nd journal entry and and your comments needed to be posted in the REFLECTION section.

Dear edaeren5,
I am not surprised that you have some accurate results from the pig test since many of your friends have shared the same idea, including me. I agree we all emotional creatures. The question is how emotional or logical we are when we make decisions :)

 
At 10:23 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Cağla6,
So our lovely told the truth once more.Risk takers are the ones who learns the language more easily. It is good to be trustworhy:)Society desparetely needs that type of members.
PS: I could not get your point whether we should write online or in the PC lab.

Dear cüneyt5,
Your journal entry is not long enough.Looking at your friends, please rewrite it!

 
At 10:29 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Semih_int5,
You are one of the rares whose pig tells lies about the drawer's character.If I were you I would try the same activitiy some time later to check if the resuls are reliable.

 
At 10:32 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Fatih5,
I think like semih your mood might have affected the way you drew the pig. Why don't you try it some time later?

 
At 10:36 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear gülnur6,
I want to confess that you are one of the students who have fully fulfilled the requirements of the second journal entry.Moreover, I am happy to hear that there is a great match between what your pig says and your personality.
Special thanks for your free advertisement of our page:)

Dear Merve6,

Like most of your friends you have something about yourself in the activity. However, I am not persuaded with ideas that you have provided about your personality since you have not included any concrete examples

 
At 11:51 AM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Selinzengin6,

A piece of drawing can tell lots of things about us, so does a piece of writing. Do you think we should feel more responsible when we are more productive?

 
At 11:54 AM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Emre_ck6
Good job you enjoyed the activity, but I could not see any comparison of yourself with the actual results.You were not supposed to copy and paste the results from the pig drawing activity.

 
At 11:57 AM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Damla5,
Thanks a lot for your modest comments on your persoanlity. I really would like to read some concrete examples that really means you are a social, traditional and etc.

 
At 12:02 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear eymen,
I am not surprised with the fact that the pig you draw tells you the truth.If you examine the other comments, you can see the you are not the only one. However I was expecting some examples from your personality that really tells you are that type of person.

 
At 12:07 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear erdalindustry5,
The list characters you have listed sounds quite cool, but why didn't you provide some screenshots from your life span that would make us convinced about your personal qualifications?

PS: In case of any confusion, do not hesitate to submit your questions.

 
At 12:10 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Nilay6,

Actually you mentioned about the process you have passed through while you were supposed to compare the results with your actual characteristic.You must be forward thinking, too because our first essay type is PROCESS ESSAY.

 
At 12:11 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear muzaffer6,
Please submit your questions in the QUESTIONS part.

 
At 12:46 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear İlknur6,

Like many others, you have found something in common with the results of your pig and yourself.
People like to be remembered. That's why I think you are a kind of friend that many people want to see around:)

 
At 12:50 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Demet6,

You have reported that majority of the results reflects your personality.
In other words, how you line your pig image in your mind, most probably demonstrates how you shape your life in your mind...

 
At 12:58 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Gizemint5,
You both find in the analysis and in your actual character that you always stick to your ideas. This is someting very useful to achieve your futuristic goals as long as you let others contribute to your points of view and make your points be others' goals, too.

Dear selin5,
You are a cautious dreamer. Remember your dreams, have you ever put limits to you dreams or you have just dreamed regardless of any fear. In a nutshell, the real dream is the one with no restrictions.

 
At 1:26 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear yasin6 !!!!
Do you think this is a journal. look at the samples that your friends have written and rewrite it very quickly.

 
At 2:06 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Burçak6,
Unlike your friends, you have decided to start with your own characteristics rather than what your pig says.
Realism helps many times as long as it does not restrict your creativity. Thank alot for your modest description of yourself.

 
At 2:09 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear uemre6,
Do you really think this is an appropriate journal entry. Check your friends and do rewrite it to inform us about yourself.

 
At 2:17 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear elifgönül6,
Don't worry Elif, you are not the only one who is having difficulty in drawing. I have the same problem. The best figure I can draw is the stickman(Cin Ali). Being naive is something that people admire, meaning that pure(like water). You can be both naive and intelligent at the same time. Thanks for your detailed comparison.

 
At 12:14 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear taskin6,

Being optimistic is something that always helps you.I am happy to hear you have lots of in common with what the pig says and your own characteristics. My point of view is that the ones who have ideas and targets are those succeed.
PS: I bet your pig was much nicer than mine.

 
At 12:17 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear evren6,
I am amazed with the picture you have drawn,but you have not comapred the results. Rewrite your entry please.

 
At 12:23 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear duygu6,
Thanks a lot for your detailed description and comparison.The watery eyes are helpful.Crying in the hard times, you can get rid of all your negative energy. Besides, I would stronly advise you to care about other people's ideas. If you know how to use them, they may help you make your ideas stronger.

 
At 12:29 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear alper_5
You are not only one whos is analyzed by the our lovely pig page. Everybody has some weaker points and stronger. What we need to do is to turn our weaknesses into strenghts for we might use them in the future.

 
At 12:36 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Alikemal5,
Thank you very much for your effectively rewritten journal entry.
We proved that the pig mostly told us the truth.Therefore, you can believe in the fact that you are. Sometimes people may not understand you easly. Besides,I hate detais, too. But, people say I love details. I do not know. ı should ask our pig again I guess.

 
At 12:42 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Gökhan_kan5

Taking risk is the best known characteristics of the famous gamblers- even we do not agree you gamble. Rather than gamling, you can use your risk taking ability in language learning since high risk takers are good language learners. Be sure that I will ask your friends about you:)

 
At 12:50 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Seze6,
I am really surprised that you have not drawn a black and white pig to reflect your BJK love.Anyway. I agree with you on the fact that realist minds make up realist and down to earth societies. We are waiting your contributions in to our society, not only to BJK society:)with your realist movement!

 
At 12:52 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Hobat5,
How can somebody not know about his personalty? Your mission is that you ask questions to your friends about yourself and rewrite yor journal entry soon. Move!

 
At 12:55 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear muzaffer6,
Thanks for the compliments. I would rather see some examples from your life that really proves you are a realist. By the way, sezer says the same thing. You can join his society o realists.

 
At 12:58 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear Anıl,

Do rewrite your journal entry. Look at your friends examples FIRST!

 
At 1:04 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear seyma,
I respect the fact you do not like the activity but this is part of the requirements of the writing class, which means that you have to do it. Moreover, bullshit is a very rude word that is not accepted in educational environments. It is something like I write you " senin journal'ın çok boktan olmuş" in Turkish. Would you like that comment for any work you do? We always appreciate any criticsm as long as they have supportive value. Rewrite the journal entry!

 
At 1:09 PM, Blogger nazmihoca said...

Dear selince5,
I am happy to hear that you could something about your personality in our pig test.The only point that does not match with your character is your listening skill you said. Maybe there is a hidden messagegiven by the pig - that you should listen to your friends.

From your comments,we may understand that prejudice is something that may prevent people from the beneficial sides of somebody or something.
PS: The missing character about dates and important days may be a kind of reminder from our lovely pig for you.

Dear emre_ck6
From some points I might agree with you, from some ı might not.Let me explain the reason.Generally, people tent to rely on sophisticated processes in their solutions for any daily problems,while sometimes the answer is very simple like this activity.Hovever, we should not consider these results as a holly book originated principles.
PS: You are right.The secondary purpose of this activity was making journal fun.
