UNEDUCATED YEARS

UNEDUCATED YEARS

                Remembering the first of the school is not the awesome but also sarcastic. I was very exhausted like every other student.  It’s beginning of the education life after the six years played at home and rooming in the streets. During five years, I had a teacher in elementary school. Everything was alright for the first three years; my teacher was trying to teach as writing and reading. Also we were painting, playing hide and seek, etc. But soon, my forth class was beginning of my worst learning experiences.

            Firstly, my first teacher was my teacher at elementary school. In basics, he taught us reading and writing. He was good at this topic. Until I came to fourth grade, our courses were English, music, science of sociality, math and even physical exercises. I expected my teacher to be good enough at all these courses but he was not like I expected. His knowledge about English was the same as the children in third grades. He was teaching us English while reading from the books. He had no knowledge about music; I was able to play a block flute for the last two years of my elementary school. If you have no knowledge of what you are teaching and you are reading them from the books, what can you expect from the students?

            Secondly, while my teacher was trying to teach a lesson, if he couldn’t manage to students, he could easily lose his temper.  For instance; I had a friend who was taking math course whose teacher, also mine teacher, asked him to multiply the number seven and not even the teacher knew the answer obviously the student doesn’t know as well. So the teacher hit the student with the scale. My friend fell in to subclass because he didn’t know math maybe he could be good at music. How fair, to teach something with violence.

            Now I am studying in ELT department in university. I think it is a respond to my elementary teacher. Perhaps, because he couldn’t be a good English teacher I wanted to prove that I could be better than him. I am not here because of him. I am here for the future generation and maybe for my siblings. I don’t want them to be uneducated like me. Always, you should be afraid of people who insist that they know everything. In fact, there is mirror front of them.

FOOLING MACHINE

The television has become such an important part of homes in the modern world that it is hard to imagine life without television. There is no doubt that television has changed the world and how we view it. Yes. The television is an important item for both children and adults like bread or water. The machine that we call television is the most dangerous invention. It affects the behavior of children mostly and sometimes even adults, It affects both the children and adults health, it leads to waste of tıme and both of these factors includes physical and psychological problems.

Firstly, Television has a bad effect on both children and adults but mostly children are affected by the programs at TVs. Instead of watching geographical and historical documentaries, they watch shows that include violence, sex or rest of them. Children don’t learn the proper language because mostly informal language is used. Not only children but also the adults are affected by these programs. About 40% of the crimes are committed by the adults that are influenced by these TV shows that provide violence.  

Secondly, TV is not only a machine that occupies the best places at our house but it is clearly are undefeated enemy which steel the most precious time from our life. This machine enables us to concentrate at anything that we are working on. TV is especially distracted children because they don’t do their homework at time. They don’t properly eat their meals. They don’t also get enough sleep but  the most important thing is because of fooling machine there is no communication at most family’s house and children are wasting a lot of time watching nonsense shows. They forget to go out and play. Now, 90% of the generation is stuck at their homes sitting in front of the TV.

Thirdly, TV also plays harmful role in human life. Most of the world population is affected by the dangerous blue rays which damages the brain functions, cause cancer and damages the eye sight. This ray also damages the eye sight such as causıng myopia; shortsıghted and nearsıghted and drıes the eyes. While wasting a lot of time in front of the TV without knowing how much we eat, it can cause obesity and also it leads other diseases such as hyper tension. While watching TV we get addicted to it and get a less sleep or sometimes don’t even sleep which can cause insomnia.    

In conclusion, as I mentioned above; this machine that we call television is the most dangerous invention and undisputed the enemy of human kind. Instead of providing the important information such as geographical and historical documentaries it brain washes the people by fake stories and one-sided news.  If this machine could be used in a more effective way such as collecting information from it and not spending a lot of time sitting in front of it without effectıng our health and a bad way then it could probably not be harmful.
