INTRODUCTORY TASK

 University life is an important milestone for every student.They start to think about theiir future and the things they want to  do after  having graduated from üniversity.When they decide what they will do after graduation,students start to focus on the field in which  they will engage.This is nearly the same for every student including me.In my highschool years,ı decided to select foreign language department because ı was really interested in foreign languages ,cultures.Then,I started to take English lessons.For four years ,I had watched English tv series,read English books and listened . English songs with their lyrics.They were entertaining and didactic activities for me.After having passed the üniversity exam ,I realized that my point was enough  for studying at METU.I was really happy about that because METU would be a good  place to improve my English skills.I have been at METU for two years.Being a üniversity student at METU means to me being a good linguistic scientist and being a skillful and well-informed English teacher.Being a FLE student at METU is a big privilege for me because METU is one of the best üniversities in Turkey in terms of language.In addition ,it has many oppportunities to improve my speaking skills because there are many foreign students in METU due to the fact that it's an international üniversity.That's why, by communicating with those foreign students ı can improve my speaking .As a FLE student at METU,I h ave some expectations from my department .For example ,I want to reach the advanced level in writing ,reading ,listening.In additıon ,I want to speak fluently in front of people without being depressed or stressful.Ithink ,there will be some challenges ı need to meet at my department .One of them is assignments or exams made on the internet because I am bad at computer.But ,after doing an assignment on the net ,I will get accustomed to these assignments.The other one is being stressful and depressed while speaking English in front of people .I think ı will meet that challenge by doing practice continously.I see myself at METU as a post graduate student.To sum up,METU is a big opportunity for every student in many ways.
