Reflection Task 1a

Hello and welcome to my special world.
I'm Uğur, 30, from Istanbul. I'm lecturing at Boğaziçi University on Linguistics. I graduated from Middle East Technical University Foreign Language Education Department nine years ago. I have an MA's degree on Linguistics and have been to Austria for my PhD. This was six years ago. I bettered my German there. 
Learning new things, reading books and playing the violin are one part of my hobbies. I'm keen on learning new languages; now I'm learning French and Dutch instantaneously, new alphabets -I can read Cyrillic, Greek, Armenian and Arabic alphabets besides Latin, and now learning Kokturk alphabet-.
I'm into Classical Turkish Music. Since I was eleven I've played the violin but I have to practice much more since I cannot have enough time to do that due to my busy schedule. I also listen to oldies, especially in French, and some modern ones.
I mostly read academical writings in accordance with my job, but I also enjoy reading fiction -I read Harry Potter Series and A Series of Unfortunate Events countless times-. 
At least twice a week I go jogging or swimming. I cannot say I’m an athletic person, yet I’m not ever-sitting as well.
That was a little bit about me; it’d be a pleasure to get to know you. I cannot say I’m someone unique, but hope to meet you someday.

  1. very clear and easy to understand the problem I have with and I wanna ask is that "I graduated from METU 9 years ago"in my opinion There may be a mathematical problem Let's try to solve it together.
    Supposed that When you graduated from the METU.You were 21.You must be at METU 4 years We are understanding this statement 2 things that were either you finished your school in 3 years or You were 17 when you won Metu.thanks for your reply already!:)
