Tarihte akşam yemeği

Üniversiteler iki hafta önce başladı.

İlk hafta hem öğrencileri kaynaştırmak hemde onları daha yakından tanımak için bir tanıtım yazısı (introduction) yazmalarını istedim.

Hatta kolaylık olsun diye de 8-10 tane soru ile yönlerdim. Sorulardan birini ve öğrencilerin cevaplarını noktasına, virgülüne, hatta îmla hatalarına dokunmadan aşağıya kopyalıyorum.

Bu arada bunları yazanların, yaşları 18 ile 60 arasında değişen üniversite öğrencileri olduklarını hatırlatayım.

If you could have dinner with any person in history, who would it be and why?

"One person in history I would love to have dinner with is Nikola Tesla. I would choose this man because of what is known to have been discovered by him has been surpressed by the people who control the world.
