"This is what they called, a lecture hall"

Until today, I still have not been to any lecture yet in level 6. But, I would like to share some of my experiences at my first lecture, one month ago. I and two of my friends, Abdul and Eyup, signed up for a lecture called Environment and Technology. Becuase it was our first time going to a lecture, we got lost and could not find the lecture room. Fortunatedly , I managed to find it and we arrived in time. There were about 200 seats and it was a large lecture hall. That was my first time to see what lecture halls and student life look like in Canada. We went up to the place where there were fewer people. As soon as we arrived, the professor came in and started his lecture. He was not quite old, maybe in his mid 30s. When we looked around us, we could see many different things happening in very funny ways. We saw a lot of students sleeping sweetly as if they were in their beds, others shopping online and chatting and, of course, checking their Facebooks. It looked like some were having a delicious lunch further back in the hall. Yet, there were many hardworking students who always only glued their eyes on the professor and took notes. We were suprised, moreover, to find the lecture to be quite interesting, dealing with how to decrease the emissions of CO2 or invent new technologies that would have zero emissions, which would have a positive effect on the environment. The professor was a nice guy, always asking the students whether the presentation was too fast or too slow. Also, there were many other kinds of teaching aids to help students understand better. We felt like it was a little boring because we just sat there and took notes, and tried as much as we could not to produce noise. I happened to see some note taking techniques used by the student in front of me. I survived through the lecture thanks to an interesting lecture; otherwise, I would have ended up sleeping like some of the other students. We left as soon as they had a break time and had some snacks sharing our opinion about the lecture and comparing it with the lectures from our hometowns. It was really interesting, maybe because of the content.............
