Phase I: Who Am I? What's My Place?

**My identity usually changes. Sometimes I can become very agressive, sometimes so shy, sometimes really polite, seldom so hurtful. For this reason,my dialogs with my family and my friends are important for me. Negative dialogs are make me sad.** **I prefer calm, tidy, silent and bright places like my home. When I go to the crowded places ,my concentration is going down.** **My mood must be good. If I'm in a bad mood I won't do anything because I won't like my mood.My mood is really impotant beacuse I can't work efficiently.** **I think this project is really important because I can learn different imformations about other countries.I can compare my culture with my other friends' culture and I can learn my other friends' problems.** **I think social networking is a really important problem in our country because young people are spending lots of time for this.May be we can put filtres to our computers.** **Any other problem is our public use coal** **in their stoves ****for to warm .But after that especialy nights air smels fume. This fume is causing to air pollution. If all people use natural gas may be this problem can solve. **

 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?
