Virtual Schools

In the past few years many students prefer to learn from the internet or with the help of a teacher through the internet. Students prefer to study that way because it is easier for them to learn from the internet since they spend a lot of time in front of the computer, and to join a virtual class all they need to do is get the address and go on line to its site.

-

The Virtual class gives the opportunity to learn to people that don’t have the possibility to go to school and learn in the classroom like every one else and to the students that have difficulties in the classroom.Those students can go home and enter the site of theVirtual class and ask for help from the teachers or from the other students on the site .

-

Inspite of the advantages of the Virtual class, it also has a very significant disadvantage. Students that learn through the internet do not develop relationships with other people. Also, those students soend most of their time in front of the computer screen and talk with their friends on the internet, so they do not make an effort to go out side and meet them face to face.

-

I think that the Virtual class is a unique way to learn. But, all the students need to learn in a public school and use the Virtual class like assistance(phr.) in the learning process because this way it will not influence the students' social skills

A Trip to Poland

Dear Ms. Gilat Simon,

Every year 11th graders from your school go on a trip to Poland with a group of Israeli students and teachers. I am writing because I wish to complain about the high price that parents have to pay for their children to go on a trip to Poland. This trip is very significant to Israelis and Jews and I think that it is very unfortunate that only the students that can pay that price can go on this trip.

-

First of all, as an 11th grade student, I want to go on this important journey, that includes tours to concentration camps in Poland, which is very significant to Israelis and Jews. But, because of the very high price, some students and my self will not take part in this trip to Poland.

-

In addition , Some of the students that want to go on the trip to Poland have personal reasons- a member of their family survived the Holocaust and they want to see with their own eyes what the family members went through. But, unfortunately, they can not go because of the high price.

-

In conclusion, I think that this kind of trip is very important for the students and it is unfortunate that not all the students will have the opportunity to go on this trip. I will be grateful if you consider to lower the price of the trip.

I look forward to a prompt reply.

Yours truly,
Anastasia Kostenko.
This is much better. Good work.
