Self-Evaluation of the Video Task

I've chosen this video since I'm familiar to the plot, the series and the events. I liked to prepare it because I knew the event and it was easy for me to set questions. I improved my question preparing and listening skills. I would do it more meticulous if I were to do this task one more time.

Reflection Task 2b

I’m going to do “Film Practice Activity” acting this scene from the TV series “Monk” together with my classmate and activity partner Özge during the next Listening and Pronunciation session. I’ve chosen this video as I find it extremely funny.

The scene is based on an obsession of a former police officer just like the case in the whole series. His captain is interviewed on-line at that moment and just as he answered the question, he finds out there are unidentified words on the screen. Mr Monk says he fixed the keyboard because it was mixed up in the row “QWERTY” and adds that he put all the characters off and laid them in alphabetical order. He developed a funny song to make people remember the new keyboard order: “A is Q and B is W…” In the end, he is condemned harshly but we cannot see what is written by Captain Stottlemeyer on the screen.

Mr Adrian Monk is a former American police officer. Since his birth he has been obsessive with lots of things but after the tragic death of his wife he gets extremely obsessed. The case leads him to be fired but thanks to his being able to solve all the cases wisely he gets a position as a special detective in the same department. The series are based on many cases which are solved by Mr Monk and his funny events related to the obsessions. 

Reflection Task 3

I nominate Ms Bahriye Kamalı for the person of the year. She was born and grew up in Kars. She was admitted to Middle East Technical University Foreign Language Department, from where she graduated with a 4,00 GPA. She studied hard and improved herself in the field of education thoroughly; besides, she advanced in two second languages as well: Russian and Italian. Throughout her life, wherever she studied, she’s stood out both in respect of her colleagues and academic environment including her teachers and classmates. Why I’m nominating her to be the person of the year is not limited to her success but her humbleness; I mean, although she graduated with a 4,00 GPA and she could’ve chosen to do Master’s Degree even in the most prestigious universities of both Turkey and abroad, she preferred to serve community in the most underprivileged parts and places of her country. She has been working for many public schools in the east of Turkey for long. She is appreciated not only by her beloved and wee students but also school administrations and the public. She received order medals from the current president of Republic of Turkey twice.  When she’s asked why she’s been working for the poor and underprivileged but not for the most prestigious colleges, she answers teaching has nothing to do with more money and it is more than a job for her, being an aim of life. She says she is doing education rather than teaching, qualifying her students for them to be decent citizens. This is why I’m nominating her.
