Bagrut - in class VS online ?

In most schools pupils study for the Bagrut exams in class. Some schools decided the students will solve the Bagrut online. I think the Bagrut in class is more better than Bagrut online.

The Bagrut in class is more better because, it is easy to think in the class and to concentrate when you solve your Bagrut exam. If you solve your Bagrut exam online you can hear the noise in your keyboard and the noise of your friends. Many students can copy the Bagrut exam one from each other if it was Bagrut online. In the class the students have a motivation, because there is someone who can relax them, but in the Bagrut exam online there is no one who can relax them.

In addition, many students can copy the information to the Bagrut from some sites in the Internet. If the students were solving the Bagrut exam online maybe the computer had some problems and their answers probably were deleted. If students were solving their Bagrut exam online they weren't have privacy because everybody was sitting side by side and they could talk one with each other.

To conclude, the Bagrut exam in class is more better than Bagrut online because the students can't copy the answers one from each other. Also, they can concentrate in the class.

What do you do in this afternoon ?

Pupils can do a lot of things in the afternoon. Some join a volunteering program and some prefer to spend their time with their friends or perhaps sleep. I prefer to  take part in a volunteering program.

I take part in a volunteering program from my high school. I am very glad that I take part in a volunteering program, I have two groups  I volunteer in. The first group is  younger volunteer music. Every time  I go there I enjoy to sing for fun but a lot of shows are watched by many people. Soon my group will take part in a show for sick children and all the money will be collected for the children.The second group of volunteering is to help children that are new immigrants with their homework. I have to say that in the first meeting they didn't like me but on the second meeting they started to like me.

I am in favor of joining
volunteering programs. When we help our community, we feel good. It gives us a lot of
values , it makes us more satisfied. We can organize our time if we have a lot of things to do, it  improves our skills and we learn how to organize our time better. We can help  these people with their needs. Everybody can profit from volunteering.

In conclusion, a volunteering program can help us to improve our skills
and we learn how to organize our time, it gives us a lot of values, it makes us  feel good and we can help  the community.

The Fun They Had

The story is about two kids, Margie and Tommy, that study in the future. They have a mechanical teacher, also they have a "schoolroom" with a screen. They found a very old book and they were interested  in reading what was written inside. The story  compares  between the "future" learning and the "old" learning. I think the "old" learning is more better than the "future" learning.

In my opinion, studying in school with many other pupils is more better. If we study at school we can make the best of it, in school we have real teachers and not a mechanical teacher. A real teacher can explain things we don't understand in more
creative ways than a mechanical teacher and with a lot of
patience. Also, a real teacher has feelings, because he is real, he is emotional and he can help us in all the things we need.

In addition, if we go to school we can make new friends. The friends we know can also help us  with personal things or homework. They get homework like us because we are the same age like them. I believe the way Margie and Tommy learned in the story is weird. I will not use this way, everything is advanced and if I study this way in the future not everybody will use to many this things In the story they had a mechanical teacher, a screen, a slot that Margie had to put her homework and tests papers.
 
To conclude, the best way to study is the "old fashion way" because we can think in a logical way with our minds and we can make more friends and we have real teachers that can help  in any subject.

The World of Music ♪♫

Everywhere in the world, you can find people who download music from the Internet. They use the music for their needs, like: listen to the music, burn discs with the music. I disagree with downloading music from the Internet.

I  disagree with downloading music from the Internet because it hurts  the copyrights. Also, the creators live from discs that they publish and sell the discs. Because of downloading from the Internet the world of music is hurt,  it hurts the creators of music. In some of countries, people who download music from the Internet are caught and get high fines. Also, music sites that people can download from, are caught and the people who are responsible  get high fines, and the sites are closed. For example, the USA government closed a million sites that shared American file sharing.

In addition, people don't know about the world of music, mostly in this country.
Some of the countries don't have a lot of music stores
. In these countries they don't sell many discs. This can hurt  the creators. They don't have so much selling of discs, therefore, people download music from the Internet and  the creators are hurt.

 To conclude, the world of music must be keeped and people must not steal. Also, the governments must  close music sites that allow downloading music and films for the sake of the creators that won't be hurt.

cell phone in our lives

Cell phones are widely used these days. Almost everybody uses  the cell phones, even young children. They control our lives. All the people who have cell phones can not move without them. My principal decided that students would not be allowed to bring cell phones to school. I agree with this rule.

I agree with this decision because when the students have cell phones in the class they don't listen to the teacher and  instead of
focusing on the teacher and what she says, they focus on the cell phone. Last year, my best friend brought a cell phone to class. When the lesson started she was focusing  only on the cell phone. She didn't listen to the teacher and the teacher taught for test. However, the teacher didn't catch her but my best friend failed the test and she was very sad. She promised that she would never bring the cell phone to the class again.


In addition, if somebody brings his cellphone to  class, it disturbs the teacher if the cell phone rings  in the lesson. I think that maybe a lot of students will be against the rule, they may be upset or angry but, eventually this will be beneficial for them. The new rule has affected me too. In the beginning, it was difficult for me not to be with my cell phone but I will get used to this rule.

In Conclusion, the new rule will affect the students. But this rule written for them. They will be more focused during the lesson and they will  succeed in their studies. I want to add that if all the schools in Israel decide to accept this rule, the students will succeed.

Activities

There are a lot of activities that our school organizes, like going to other cities or visiting the museum. The  Ministry of education thinks that these activities enrich our horizons and enrich our knowledge. Some students think that these activities are boring. In my opinion, these activities are good for the students. The students go from the school almost every month.
  
These activities are good for us, because sometimes, the students have load in learning for tests or quizzes. When the students go out for activities, they feel more free than sitting all the day in the class and learning. They feel that they go from the routine. For example, when our class went out on a "Movie Day"  the whole class felt that they were free, and they enjoyed  this day. The whole class watched an interesting movie. They had fun and they were laughing.

In addition, these activities enrich the students' horizons and they can learn more from these activities. They feel that they can express themselves, also they can be integrated together. For example, when our class went out last year to the "Weizmann Institute", everybody could feel the integrating. Also, everybody learned new things, like how to make soap. We also learned a little about what Eda Yonat did before she won the nobel prize.

In conclusion,  these activities can contribute to our knowledge. They can enrich our horizons, also these activities can consolidate. In my opinion, if the students go out  on these activities twice a month, I think that they will feel better and free.
