Benefits of Having a -HOBBY-

Hobbies J

        

     We need quality leisure time as well as working for a balanced life. The hobbies that are important for the mental development and physical health of children as well as adults help individuals discover different skills and reduce the stress of daily life. We brought together the benefits of acquiring a hobby for physical and mental health. You may say, "I have a hobby and my life has changed!".

Hobbies are one of the most effective ways of expressing and realizing yourself. Creativity and the desire to produce in the human soul can only emerge with the help of the hobby that suits you best and add meaning to your life. Sometimes you can reveal emotions that you cannot tell by talking, and uneasy thoughts with the help of your hobbies. For example, you can see the problems that disturb you in your daily life by taking pictures from your own perspective, and you can make sense of details that you cannot notice. Stress is known to be both the cause and the result of many diseases, especially depression. People who do not have a hobby do not enjoy life after a while because they do almost everything in their daily life and work life with the consciousness of duty and responsibility. This situation first affects mental health and indirectly affects body health negatively.

For these reasons, people must have hobbies both to escape from the crowds of daily life, to do things that will benefit our soul, and to invest in the future. Remember there is a hobby that will make everyone happy.  I will put here a music for reducing your stress level. When you need it you can listen to it  here :)

The Importance Of Teacher

The Importance Of Teacher

         The teacher is the most valuable person with unlimited love, tolerance and patience that conveys the moral values as well as technical knowledge and general culture to his students.

Everyone in the community can try to teach their children and friends new behavior and new knowledge when appropriate. In addition, as in today's computer, television, such as communication tools can try to do this task. In this case, the person or device is in the teaching position. In other words, it is in a position that cannot be compared with the teacher and will never replace the teacher in the future.

In developed societies where knowledge accumulation increases rapidly and specialization gains importance, individuals need to be educated in a planned way in line with certain purposes. This is provided only by our teachers who do not avoid any difficulties for us in schools. Pure love in the teacher's heart is like an inexhaustible source.

A teacher not only teaches his students the information about the lessons, but also teaches all the realities of life with the most positive way. In other words, it teaches its students to love life, to be happy. In short, s/he teaches the most beautiful feeling of “love.” I hope we all become teachers who shine like a light in the life of their students.

Memorizing and Learning Vocabulary

In our daily life, we can do some brain exercises through learning a new language, reading lots of books or something more. But we shoul not forget that we have to learn and memorize new words day by day. These words may related to our native language or the other language that we learn. While leraning new vocabularies, we can use some lexical tools to get help because thanks to these programs we can see more than the meanings of the words. For example if we search a word by these programs, we can see their synonyms, antonyms, how to use in a sentence that word ord something more. It helps both teachers and students because while students doing homeworks, they can use it very effective. I use these programs in my life they are very helpful for me. I want to advise you a website about it. I am sure you will like it.

The Exam Anxiety

   The Effects of Exam Anxiety or Fear on Students

Most of the people think the exam anxiety effects students negatively. But I think the leck of anxiety is also a problem. A writer of a Turkish newspaper said on this issue *‘ It is the dose that separates the drug from poison. Appropriate dosage of anxiety is useful.’ I think this is so logical because if we do not feel any anxiety or excitement, we might not be give lots of importance to this issue. However, for the work on something seriously, we should feel something exciting. But it does not mean the more anxiety increases, the more success gets higher. As we said in earlier; the amount of concern should be at appropriate levels. The proper levels help us to concentrate on the lesson or something else ( the think that we work on) and our succes gets higher thanks to it but if this amount is too much, it will effects us bad. Because too much anxiety prevents to ability of concentrate and do the right thinks or making good  choice on something.

So, how do we observe that a student has anxiety disorder?

Usually these bad things can be easily observed: Dizziness, vigilance, increased blood pressure, shortness of breath, palpitations, nausea, diarrhea, chest pain, sweating etc.. Most students have anxiety disorder due to lack of self-confidence and fear of failure.         

 How can ve overcome such concerns?

First of all , we must think the importance of the thing that we work on. It can be an exam or an important meeting or something else. We should get ready fort he all posibilities because in our life we do not live just good things, We can live some bad things an if we can get ready for these, both psychological and physical we can overcome such things. After we have made all the preparations for the situation (that we work on) we should believe that we will be successfull because which signals we send to our brain, our brain will try to accomplish this. Therefore, we should  send positive signals to our brain and then try to be succesfull on it. In this process, we can get tired or feel bored but these are temporary things. The reality is being successful. If we do all things that we have to do and believe in ourselves, all the things will be good.

When I was at highschool, I experienced the anxiety of exam very much. It effected me a little bit bad but still I'm very glad to be at this point right now. I hope this post will help you to overcome this concern but if you are still having problems, maybe you can get help from a psychologist. The most important thing in the world is being strong except to lose goodness and mercy. All of things are belong us and I hope we all become successful and compassionate people in this life.

I want to share a video about this toic I hope you watch and it will help you J

Learning Second Language

http://popplet.com/app/#/5545411

WHY AM I LEARNING A SECOND LANGUAGE & WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS FOR ME AND FOR YOU?

   Since my childhood , I want to be a teacher but  I could not decide should I choose the teaching of my native language or English. As my father is a Turkish Language teacher, I was going to choose being a Turkish Language teacher but later at highschool, my English teacher said to me if I  choose English,my hole world could be change. I listened to him and choosed English and even from now I feel so different. I will not talk about my own experiences about this today but after few posts, I can tell u all of the things about it. Anyway, it is a little bit difficult process but it worth at the and.  Until today, many researches was made about learning a new language but I want to explain with  my sentences.

        First of all if u know a second language and looking for a job, you probably find a job easily because almost all companies give importance this issue. Also being different from other people will increase your self-confidence and it helps you to get a job as well.

       According to a research that I read years ago, this learning process develops our memory and prevents dementia. Because while learning language we have to memorize lots of words and it helps us to have strong brain and mental health even many years later.

       Learning language is not only about our job and some formal issues but also contains some good things like if you want to travel to a foreing country and if you know their language, it will be perfect experience for you. Beacuse you can communicate their native people and learn a new culture from them thanks to language. Even I could not go to a foreigng country I can imagine how much fun it  would be.

        Finally, the point I want to talk about is that reading a poem or a literary work in a foreign language without translation will give you much more pleasure. Because when we read a translation of an literary work we might not feel the actual things underlying the meaning.

      In summary; Learning a new language is being a totalty different person. Because your ideas change and ideas  are the most important things of a person. Living new experiences and living in a high quality life (in everymean) we should learn new languages and improve ourselves.

       A postscript: I used ‘popplet’ in this post and thanks to this app ( I  like it so much), I could draw a schema. I hope  you like this post J
