Letterboxd is a social platform centered around movies, where users can log, review, and discuss films. As a writing practice tool, you can leverage its features by regularly logging the movies you watch, writing subjective and meaningful reviews, creating and exploring lists, engaging in discussions with other users, and experimenting with different writing styles. Use the platform to set writing goals, such as a certain number of reviews per week, and reflect on your writing evolution over time. Whether you're crafting formal critiques, casual reflections, or creative pieces inspired by films, Letterboxd provides an interactive space to practice your writing skills while connecting with a community that shares your cinematic interests!

Hello, I'm Baran from Giresun, Turkey. I was born in Giresun in 2002 and stayed there for 18 years. I finished elementary and middle school at Giresun Cumhuriyet Elementary (and later on Middle) School. I went to Giresun Atatürk Anadolu Lisesi. My journey to Istanbul started when I was accepted into the Yeditepe University English Language Teaching program. While studying, I developed a passion for literature and double majored in the English Language and Literature program as well. As for my hobbies, I like taking short walks on our campus, reading short stories and novels, watching philosophy videos and I enjoy watching detective movies. I also try to improve my French. I did not have many opportunities to practice in my educational area which is teaching. I am currently aiming to do my master's in Istanbul. I also became a translator as a volunteer for an online magazine. I did translations for 3 years then ended my position there. Currently, I am doing my teacher internship

Hello everyone!!! I'm Ayça. This is my first blog post on Blogger. I'm 22 years old and currently studying ELT at Yeditepe University. This is my fifth year at Yeditepe.  I hope I will be graduated by the end of this year. Last year I worked as an English teacher in a language course for 3 months and also worked as a Barista in a coffee shop for 3 months. Working while studying improved my experience of working and being responsible for my tasks and responsibilities. I am looking forward to experiencing more in my internship this year. In my high school years, I lived in Bursa and I moved to Istanbul to study at university. I am planning to remain in Istanbul in the future but I might consider new opportunities too. Currently, my priority is my school and internship. In addition to my priorities, I also want to apply to a French course and learn French. Rather than talking about my academic life and goals, I also like to draw, model clay, and watch movies as personal hobbies. S

I found a scene from ''The Office'' series on YouTube which has the option to show subtitles as well. Using scenes from movies or TV shows like ''The Office'' could be used with older learners like high school students or adults.  1- What is the reaction of the employees when the fire alarm goes off? 2-  Describe Michael Scott's approach to handling the fire drill. How does he take charge of the situation? 3-  Pay attention to the dialogue during the scene. Can you identify any lines or quotes that stand out to you as particularly humorous? 4-   How do the characters discuss and react to the events that transpired? 5-  How does the fire drill impact the relationships between the characters in the office?
