At the end of the year, I have a bagrut exam of Bible. The students were told by the Ministry of Education to study on our own with the help of a forum, this forum is specially designed which is extra learning for pupils. However, we don’t learn for this exam in a regular school with a teacher in class. Would I like to join this forum and study on line? 


In my opinion, distance learning is very effective for many reasons. First, all students can benefit from distance learning because each student can progress at his own pace. Compared to regular school which all students progress at the same pace and level, but in this forum each one learn on his  own. In addition, it is very convenient and available. You can learn your studies in any time and place you want. You are not told by your school for regular hours to study.


Furthermore, distance learning is expand your horizons. You can learn extra study, its reinforce you. When you know more information than what you need, it just can help you. Another point is that In the forum you can ask the teachers questions and get help on line. It's also allows pupils to contact and assist each other.


To conclude, I think that I would join to this forum and learn the study with my own and if i will need some help, im sure the teachers will help me. I think I can benefit from this distance learning and I strongly recommend you to join it too! I wish to see you there next time.  

There are a lot of things which are done by people in their free time. Some people go out with friends, while others read books or magazines and some just stay at home (and) watch T.V or sleep. Let's not forget that some people join a volunteering program and do something for othres, such as giving a hand in ambulances or spending time with elderly people.


People who join a volunteering program(s) and help  the community get a great  feeling  for making others feel better. When I help someone and make him smile, it makes my day and I have a wonderful feeling about my self. In addition, when you help somebody, in the future you will be helped by someone else, because this is the life(phr.) - explain this last point better.

furthermore, there are some people in this world who need help, treatment, support and love. They need someone who cares about them. When you (are) their(sp.) for them, they feel good and special. I'm sure they really respeact(sp.) and thanks(מיותר) you. You can orginazed(gr.) your schedule, and than you will have time to do something for othres(sp.) and also you(ww. - have)  enough time for your self.


To conclude, I think people should contribute part of their time for the community. Remember, when you do something for somebody else everybody wins . So, I hope to see you next time in a volunteering program. I strongly believe that it will make a difference.

The different Ways of Learning in School

In the far future, there will be a different way of learning in school. Today, pupils have a special building and there they study together with teachers, who are human. In the future, each one of the students will have a mechanical teacher for himself and he will study at home.


In my opinion, the way the students learn today is the right way to learn in school. They have regular hours they go to school. Their teachers are human, and because of that they crieate(sp.) human relations and learn values, like respect ,giving and sharing,team work and more. They meet  their classmates everyday and make friends.


In addition, the teachers teach them the same things and give them the same homework. Because of that, they can do homework and practice for tests together. However, in the future, pupils might study alone with their mechanical teacher. It will be easier and more convenient than today(how so?), but they will miss all the fun and the advantages of learning at a usual school.


To summarize, before you dream about the mechanical teacher, think about the good things we have today like, meeting with our friends everyday, studying together and learning from many human teachers.

Excellent.

Is Downloading Music for free from internet moral ?

Music is a thing which everybody loves; most of people listen to it every day.
They need to download music from the internet, for listening(gr. - in order to listen) to songs they love. However, there are people who buy CDs of the songs they love. There is a question- is downloading music for free moral? Some claim that it is like a crime or theft, while others think that when we copy music, it is(gr. - does) not really hurt the singers.


I think downloading music for free from the internet is not illegal(it actually is illegal). I believe that the singers become more and more popular when we load their songs and listen to them and know them so well. So, I can't understand why it is wrong, it just help(gr.) them.

in addition, when the singers are popular they make(ww.) many concerts and pepole who like them buy tickets to(ww. - for) their show. it is livelihood for the singers(phr.).

 Anther point is that buying CDs is very expensive. Many people don't have a lot of money so they can't afford to spend all their money for listening(ww.) to music they love. Furthermore, when someone loves songs of more than one singer, he needs to buy all their CDs. It is a lot of money.


In conclusion, as I see it, downloading music from the internet is a good thing. All of us can listen to the songs we love without pay(ing) money for it. In addition, it even help(gr.) the singers become more popular.

Better. Good work.

Should Cell Phones be taken to schools ?

There is a new rule in our school and according to it pupils are not allowed to bring cell phones to school. Some students claim that this rule is not fair and they are against it, while others understand the principal's arguments to determine(ww.) this rule.

In my opinion, cell phones shouldn't be taken to school by the pupils. I think children exploit it in a bad way. First, many students play games on their phone during lessons. They don't listen to the teachers at all because they are busy with the new games in their cell phones. It attracts them and they can't help themselves. This is one example that shows how the cell phones can damage their studies. 

Second, the students use the phones to take pictures of the pupils in class. Then, they post the pictures in their "Facebook" or any other sites, while their friends don't agree to this. When they do this, they break the law. In addition, the cell phones ring in the course of the lesson and it disturbs the teachers and the whole class. 

To sum up, all of us know that cell phones are helpful when we really need them in times of emergencies. However, it damages(ww.) us when we use them in school. So, if you think about it, I am sure you will understand the new rule is good for us.

Very good.

Special Activities in School

Many schools in Israel organize special activities for their students such as, going to plays, the theater, visiting museums and galleries, watching movies and more. Do teenagers benefit from these activities? Some claim that these activities are not necessary at all, while others think it broadens the student's horizons.

In my opinion, it is very important, for two reasons. First, these social activities give the students a feeling of belonging to a group. When everybody takes part of(ww. - in) this, the pupils get to know each other better. It creates a good atmosphere around(ww. - in) the classroom.

Secondiy, activities like visiting a museum or listening to a lecture are very interesting. It gives the pupils new information, which enriches their education. It doesn’t seem to be (like the) usual, boring lessons in class, it is more tangible and it is fun to learn this way.

To conclude, special activities are good for the pupils. They learn a lot of new things and it helps them know a little bit more about their friends in different situations. In addition, it is something the students need in order to relax from all  the pressure.

Good work!
