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

Poland

The journey to Poland is the most amazing experience I have ever had in my life. Poland is the country where 6 million Jews were murdered in world war two, "the holocaust ". The journey to Poland is an organized trip from school, which takes the Jewish students to see in their own eyes the places where the horrors occurred. It was an exceptional experience and I would be more than happy to do it all over again,

..

The journey began on the February 28 at 7 am when we got on the airplane towards Poland. When we landed, we couldn't believe we were no longer in Israel. But, unfortunately, my luggage was left in Israel .I was very upset and wanted to return back home, but quickly forgot all about it and we continued with our journey. The journey took place in Kielce, Krakow‏, Birkenau, Auschwitz‏, Lublin, Majdanek‏, Treblinka, and Warsaw‏.

..

I think that the hardest part on the journey was in Majdanek. Majdanek was a work & destruction camp. There we saw all the gas cabins, the crematoriums, the shoe piles and the ash mountain, where all the Jews' ashes were piled up. When I saw all the shoes, I broke down emotionally and started crying. All the places we visited made the entire delegation feel home sick and proud of our country, Israel.

..

To conclude, I think that every Jewish student in Israel must go through this journey. It was definitely the most powerful experience I have ever experienced in my entire life. This experience will for ever be part of me and I will never forget it.

Family Tours Company

Alexander 12 Street

Tel Aviv

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to complain about the organized trip to Paris which I took recently. My family and I reserved your "Happy Paris" tour, but unfortunately it was not happy at all.

First of all, I would like to complain about your tour guide, his bad attitude and lack of patience were very disappointing. Instead of being nice and courteous, he was rude and unfriendly. I have participated in a lot of organized trips my entire life and I have never seen such bad behavior from a tour guide.

.

Moreover, the hotel we stayed in was horrible. The rooms were small and dusty, and the bathrooms were filthy and uncomfortable. I was unsatisfied with the meals, which were disgusting and not satisfying . Furthermore, the hotel was situated far from the center of the city, so we couldn’t do anything while we were at the hotel, we had to stay in our dusty rooms and seek for entertainment.

.

To conclude, I was very unsatisfied with your service. I would appreciate a full refund for the trip or at least some compensation. I recommend you to relate to my complaints and do something with your wretched service.

.

I Look forward to a prompt reply.

.

Truly yours,

.

Carolin Aniston

much-much better. Well done!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I visited your web-site recently and I was really impressed. I think that your organization is doing a wonderful job with teenagers. I am writing you because I would like to volunteer in your organization. I believe that I could really assist your organization.

First of all, I used to volunteer in a youth movement named "Hazav". I volunteered there for 3 years and I worked with difficult children, and helped them as much as I could. My volunteering in "Hazav" was a life changing experience for me, and I learned a lot throughout these 3 years.

.

Second of all, I am very connected to children and I am interested in helping and counseling other people. I am friendly, kind and generous, so this volunteering work is perfect for me.

.

To conclude, I believe I can be very useful for your organization, and you won't be disappointed . I would be happy to come for an interview.

.

I look forward to your reply.

.

Yours truly,

Shany Raz

This is better
