Computers and education

Nowadays, technology is used in every aspect in(ww. of) our lives, in education, work and at home. Technology improved our lives a lot, made them easier and more comfortable. Computers are very helpful in the education institutes, like high schools and universities. Computers are used by students during classes and with their schoolwork at home. As a result of the technology's progression, people wonder whether computers will replace teachers in the future.

.

In my opinion, although the computers have been very useful and helpful in the education institutes, I believe that computers should not replace teachers. First of all, teachers do not only teach the material used to test(phr.). They also educate students to be better people by giving them (a) personal example and advice. Computers cannot give the students (a) personal example because of the fact that they are robots. Moreover, every teacher has his own teaching technique to keep the students focused. All computers and robots act the same and they cannot behave differently.

.

Furthermore, the percentage of unemployment in Israel is very high. If computers replace teachers the percentage of unemployment will increase. People will lose there jobs and the technology will eventually replace the place of intelligent people in our society. There will be no chance for people to study at universities in order to become teachers, because this job would be no longer available for human beans(sp.).

.

To conclude, in my opinion, the technology is very good and helpful, but it cannot take control of the education system. I think that teachers should be people with emotions and feelings, so they could achieve their goal of educate(gr.) the young generation.

Very good work!

The car accidents among teenagers

Nowadays we sadly hear about young drivers who are involved in many car accidents. Teenagers can get a driver's license at the age of 17. The organization of accident victims believes that this might be the reason for the rise in fatal accidents, and proposed that the age for getting a driver's license should be raised to 19.

.

As a 17 year old teenager, I agree that the age for getting a driver's license should be raised to 19. At the age of 17 teenagers are usually not mature, they tend to think that they are grown up and know everything, but the reality shows different. Everyday teenagers deal with lots of pressure at school, therefore, they suffer from a lack of sleep. lack of sleep may cause a lack of alertness and concentration, and this is very dangerous on the road.

.

Moreover, teenagers are not responsible enough at the age of 17. Although they are not allowed to drink alcohol, most of the teenagers usually do. Unfortunately, there are many incidents of drinking and driving among teenagers. Teenagers probably cannot understand the severity of their actions, and they cause many fatal accidents.

.

To sum up, I think that teenagers should focus on their studies and deal with the driver's license later in their lives. I believe that the ages of 19-20 is the ultimate age to start studying for a driver's license, when they are more mature and responsible. I hope that eventually the road would be a safer place, and teenagers would not get hurt by these stupid accidents.

The Internet

The internet, the greatest invention of the 20^th century, includes Chartrooms, social networks, and unlimited sources of knowledge. The internet has changed our lives in many levels, made our lives easier, but at the same time a lot harder.

.

On the one hand, the internet made our lives easier by letting us find almost everything in one place. It helps us communicate with other people, share and receive information. Moreover, the internet offers fun activities, everyone can spend spare time by(מיותר) enjoying the options the internet has to offer.

.

On the other hand, the internet is a very dangerous place. It contains(ww.) many dangerous people, who can harm innocent children with no supervision. Furthermore, the internet exposes kids to violence and pornography, those things are very dangerous for children to be exposed to.

.

To sum up, I believe that the internet is very important in our lives and has definitely changed them for the best, but we have to be careful and aware of all the dangers that this great thing Includes.

It's good, but a bit too general. You need to expand a little further.

NO SMOKING

"NO SMOKING", we see signs like this in almost all the public places. On July 25^th, 2007 a law was published which forbidden(gr.) smoking in public places. Since then, we can see a serious reduction(ww.) in the number of people smoking in public places. In my opinion, this law is very important and helps reduce the number of people that get lung Cancer among non smoking people.

.

First of all, smoking is the direct cause for(ww. - of) lung Cancer. When smoking is forbidden in public places like malls, restaurants, and schools, people actually smoke less than what they would smoke if the ban did not exist. Moreover, people who do not smoke are affected by the smoke of the ones who do smoke. As a result, passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer, which usually leads to death.

.

Second of all, smoking in places like public schools and malls may have a bad influence (on)kids. Children who see grown ups smoke on a daily basis, may think that smoking is not that bad, and trying once would be harmless. This bad influence would cause a big rise in the number of smokers. Therefore, the law is obviously helping.

.

To conclude, the ban on smoking in public places is very important. This will reduce the amount of smoking and the number of people exposed to smoke. It helps "The Israel Cancer Association" fight with(ww.) the number of deaths from Cancer(phr. - cancer related illnesses).

Very good work.

True Friendship

One of the most important things in the world, according to most of the people, is their friends. It is an instinct of people to team up with and surround themselves with the ones they like and have a common denominator, and most people try to find special qualities in those friends.

.

First of all ,an important quality (in a friend) is loyalty. A real friend should be someone we can trust to always be on our side. Someone we can tell all our biggest secrets to, and be certain that no one else would find out about them. Loyalty is also about being there for each other, listening, and helping twenty four seven.

.

Another important quality is integrity. Every good friendship should be based on integrity and honesty. Lies and dishonesty hurt very much and relationships of any kind, (You are missing a word here) cannot be built on lies and hypocrisy. It is important to be honest first of all with ourselves and then with our society(ww.), in order to build healthy and real friendships.

.

To sum up, (a) true friendship is about sharing, loving, being honest, caring, loyalty, and finally being a good friend. Every one of us loves the good feeling of having a best friend and knowing that he would always be there for us for better and worse.

Well done!

Station Manager,
"Galgalaz" radio station
14 Ilan street

Tel Aviv


Dir Sir/Madam,
.
I am writing this letter because I would like to suggest a special program for teens in your radio station. Your radio station has a lot of interesting programs but, unfortunately, there are no programs for teenagers who need advice.
.
A program which I believe would be good for teenagers is an advice program. On that program teenagers would be able to call the radio station anonymously and discuss their problems or just share their life with a professional adult. The program would be named "Looking for help?" and would host a different professional psychologist every week.
.
Teenagers usually feel like no one understands them or wants to listen to them. Sometimes they are just embarrassed to talk about their real problems with their family or friends. Therefore, I believe that if the teenagers are able to discuss anonymously their problems with a professional psychologist, they will feel more confident talking about their problems.

.

To conclude, I would like to recommend the new idea for a program on your radio station "Looking for help? ", which I believe could be very useful for teenagers. I would be grateful if you consider my suggestion.

.

Yours sincerely

.
