THE LESSONS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED

 


In the beginning we all thought that “pandemic” is really a bad situation. Actually, there are also lots of lessons that we have learned during this period. We have not recognized that it has also some positive effects. In my opinion, it has some positive effects on humanity.

First of all, we learned that our health and other intangible things are the most important parts of our lives. One may think that while we cannot travel, everything will be absolutely boring. But that is so not true! Having fun with our family is the most precious thing that we learned during this time.  Actually I am really happy for spending time with my mother. It is high time to spend our precious time with our family.

Secondly, we have learned that we do not really have to go outside to do our tasks. By doing our tasks at home we really use our time much more efficiently. We do not spend our time on the road and as we do not use our cars, the air pollution decreases a lot. Both the humanity and the World wins!

Lastly, we are able to spare time for ourselves. We can do sports, write a book, read a book, watch a film, or do an online meeting with our friends. By sparing time with ourselves, we are able to get “better” futures. We will not only get a “better future”, but also relax and do good things for ourselves.

All in all, instead of concentrating on the negative sides of the pandemic, we should focus on “how I can spend time more efficiently for myself”. By focusing on the positives sides of the pandemic, we can learn some lessons and get a better future.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS AND SOCIETIES: INTERNAL ASSESSMENT (IB)

  HOW DOES THE COUNTRIES’ -TURKEY, THE NETHERLANDS AND THE USA- SOLAR POWER USAGE CORRELATE WITH THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS? PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT Solar energy can be used for solar water heaters and house heating. The heat from solar energy enables the production of food, chemicals, textiles, and it can also be used in warm greenhouses, swimming pools, and livestock buildings. Furthermore, providing a power source for electronic devices and even cooking can be achieved by using solar energy [1] . Turkey is a country which might use the solar power energy efficiently. However, in our country, although the solar energy is used sporadically for hot water in domestic use and in some hotels in southern Turkey, we can state that it is not widely applied as a sustainable and a clean energy source. Unlike Turkey, the Netherlands uses the technological opportunities really well, even though the country does not have an extreme access of sun light [2] . On the contrary, United States ...

ELECTRIC CONSUMPTION AND ENERGY SAVING

   [7] INTRODUCTION: THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION ON THE ENVIRONMENT Electricity has a great importance in our World nowadays. Especially, due to the pandemic we all have started using the electrical devices and gadgets much more than before. This increase in electricity consumption has absolutely some effects on the environment. These impacts depend on the usage, how and where we have been generating or delivering. The usage of electricity may seem quite safe. However, the production and transmission of electricity have a huge impact on the environment. Electricity is generated by moving a conductive wire such as copper in a magnetic field. An electric generator is a machine that contains coiled conductive wires rotating inside a magnet and generates electric current by rotating these wires. In order to obtain a large amount of electrical energy which is necessary in our homes, workplaces, industry; large power plants are needed. [8]   Most power plants are gen...

ENGLISH INDIVIDUAL ORAL QUESTIONS (IB)

    What ideas and images do we associate with a healthy lifestyle? In my opinion the main point is balancing our lives. Most of the people think that a healthy lifestyle includes only eating vegetables and fruits, doing tons of cardio and not even tasting the meals that include carbohydrates. This idea is wrong. Because a lifestyle should be able to last forever. We should also include some awards like chocolate or pasta in our diet. What constitutes an identity? The society plays the biggest role while creating our identities. Because our values and culture affect our way of thinking and our lifestyle as well. Our family and our friends may change our point of view. For instance, when we visit our family members who live abroad may develop our personality. While talking with them we might use another language. And the language we use improves our vision. When we start talking another language, we might think in a different way than usual. The vocabulary and the gramm...
