The Interview with the Celebrity ' Ben Affleck '

I and my partner Perihan are going to talk about the interview "Ben Affleck". You can click here to listen it yourself.

 In the interview the interviewer is Francine Stock  and the interviewee is Ben Affleck.
  Francine introduces the plot of the film. Ben talks about the characters and the acts in the film in relation to real life, having different duties in the film and consulting the other actor directors about the film during the interview.
  The interview is constructed by Francine with the name of the film “The Town” and Ben Affleck who is both the writer and the director of the film and also plays leading role. Furthermore, the interview goes on voice records in which the opinions of three people about the film. And then Francine Stock mentions that  the cast was nominated for several awards,  the budget of The Town was lower than the previous one “ Gone Baby Gone “ and the general subjects of the film were listed as crime, love story, misfortune around people robbing in the internet.
  The interviewer initially asks Ben Affleck whether he wants to add anything else or not. He says Boston’s real life is covered in the film and this makes the film more interesting. And then he goes on that the protection of the criminals looks bad and immoral but they could have some reasons to convict crime. For instance, John who is a member of the gang convinces the other members to rob the bank by saying why they have to do this.
  Later, the second question is while Ben was a director in his previous film, in The Town how does Ben dare to be both actor being on the screen all the time and director? Ben answers it that “Leading role must be well prepared and the director must be careful about the acts of the character in leading role. I am a person that doesn’t like criticizing others especially in the leading role, so I take it over. “
  The interview continues with the question “Must it be hard for you to look objectively at yourself as a director when you are an actor? “. Ben says “Not much. I can easily balance between two duties. When I have to be director, I stop rolling and vice versa. However, try and try and try makes me exhausted and bored “.
  Afterwards, the interviewer mentions about the opinions related to Ben‘s consulting to the other actor directors before making the film and asks “Did you consult the other actor directors?”. Ben : “ Yes, I did. Because, it makes me tempting and provides me self-confidence when our opinions are almost the same “.
  And then, Francine Stock talks about one point of the film that wearing masks of the robbers is too cliché but masks in this film are very funny and asks the  Ben to say what he thinks about this. Ben explains that it occurs in all films but this is a necessary thing because it enables robbers to see each other more easily and communicate more quickly without being seen by the others.
  If we were the interviewer, we would like to ask these questions:
  1. Do you want to continue being both the director and the actor in your next films?
  2. Why do you choose the criminal topic in your films - The Town and Gone Baby Gone - and if you make another film, will you select the same topic ? So, what is the message you want to give your spectators?

MY WEBQUEST PROJECT


OUR FABLE

We wrote a fable with my partner Büşra.And by using the prezi, we prepared a presentation.I hope you like it.

                       PENQUEN AND SEA LION


 One day, Penny the penguin was swimming around her home in the Antarctic Ocean. All of a sudden she heard  loud sound. " HELP ME! I'm tangled!."
  

   Penny the penguin looked to her right and saw a HUGE sea lion tangled up in seaweed. "Hey! Little penguin, won't you please help free me? My family is on vacation and they can't help me! By the way, my name is Sammy the sea lion."
"Well, hello there Sammy. I would love to help you, but I'm pretty sure you tried to eat me the other day."
   Sammy the sea lion realized that Penny was right. Sammy did try to eat Penny, but Penny was fast and got away. "Well", Sammy the sea lion explained, "I will flipper promise you that I will NEVER try to eat you again if you help me! I will tell my family not to eat you too!."

  "That sounds like a good bet", said Penny the penguin. "You will have to flipper promise not to eat my family members too!" Sammy immediately replied, "It's a deal!."

Sammy the sea lion and Penny the penguin flipper promised and Sammy never ate Penny or any of her family members. They were best friends forever because they respected each other.

The moral of my fable is:  Be friendly and respectful to others because you may need their help one day.

Podcast Project

Let's make the world a better place to live in

I think; if you want to make the world better place firstly; you must provide a good communication between people because you always have to contact with the people in your daily life. For a good communication, people must share their opinions clearly. But they can't say every opinion face to face, you can write them. So, I decided to prepare a box people can write and put their opinions. Especially in collective life areas...

My Word

I can describe myself by using the word of the patient.
Like all people, I meet some difficulties in my life.Some people choose dreading as soon as they meet them.But I  am not like these people.I live in a cool manner.Instead of provoking an incident, I can wait patiently.I have been staying in dormitory for five years.I think that staying dormitory is an effective factor in my patience.I have to share my room with people You must be patient because people have different characters.And also now in my dormitory , there are lots of English preparing students. To answer their questions makes me patient girl.Despite of everything, I am happy...
