Merhaba, ben Ali Kara. Özel Kocaeli Güneş Okullarında eğitim veren 6 senelik bir İngilizce öğretmeniyim. Hala okulumuzda İngilizce öğretimine devam ediyorum. Öğrencilerim ile hem çevrimiçi (zoom üzerinden) hem de yüzyüze biraraya geliyorum. Güneş okulları olarak öğrencilerimizin yabancı dil öğrenimine önem veriyoruz. Bu sebeple bir çok etkinlik ve proje ile dil öğrenimini destekliyoruz. Öğretmenlik dışında 2014 yılında hobi olarak kod yazmaya başladım. Başta eğitim içerikleri olmak üzere birçok web projelerinde görev aldım. Etüt sistemi, Öğretmen platformu, Randevu sistemi, Online ödeme sistemi, alışveriş otomasyonları gibi çeşitli projeler geliştirdim. Yapay zeka desteği ile halihazırda farklı içerikler oluşturuyorum.
It’s ironic that the word ‘downsize’ is often used to describe the process of making something smaller, when it actually comes from the word ‘size’, which means ‘to increase’.
I’m not sure I agree with the author’s claim that the word ‘downsize’ is always used in a negative way. I think it can also be used to describe the process of making something more efficient or effective, which is a good thing.
I disagree with the author’s argument that the word ‘downsize’ has a negative connotation. I think it can also be used in a positive way, to describe the process of making something more efficient or effective.

This article is very well-written and informative. I especially appreciate the author’s use of examples to illustrate the different ways to use the word ‘downsize’.
This is a very good article about the English language. I learned a lot about the different ways to use the word.
Sarcasm alert: I’m so glad that the author has enlightened us with the definition of the word ‘downsize’. I mean, who would have ever guessed that it means ‘to make something smaller’?
This article provides some interesting information about the history of the word ‘downsize’. I didn’t know that it was originally used to describe the process of reducing the size of a garment.
LOL! I love the author’s example of how the word ‘downsize’ can be used in a funny way. I can just imagine someone saying, ‘I’m going to downsize my car by driving it into a tree’.
I don’t really understand what this article is trying to say. It’s very confusing.
