Written Presentation N.8

These days, we all graduate from high school with an exam called Matriculation. Each student's knowledge must be reflected by those exams in the best way. The bagrut exam consists of a few exams in each subject, for example Bible, Hebrew etc. Moreover, some of those exams are not obligatory like Physics, Chemistry, or even Biology.

I think that those exams don’t reflect each students knowledge, because the exams consists of a lot of material and not all the students have the ability to remember this amount of material. Moreover, not all students can deal with the stress durng the exam.I suggest schools all over the world to do those exams a bit differently, so they will reflect the student's knowledge and values.

First, students should be tested by a human and not by a robot, in an oral exam. This way, the student can reflect his knowledge even though he doesn’t know how to write a right answer. In addition, the examiner will test not only knowledge, but social skills by talking to the student, and knowing him better. Second, the tests shouldn’t be limited by time like now, so the students wouldn't be so stressed.

As a student in high school, I can say that those improvements will test knowledge better and I could get higher grades. In addition, those improvements, will take us to a newer age, where not only knowledge will
be tested, but social skills and manners as well.

Written Presentation N.2

Nowadays, our community has become more self centered and individual, and less sociable and caring. The term "us" has become less popular and now "me and myself" is more important. We live out everyday life when there are a lot of families that need help, a lot of elders that may need their house to be fixed, and even children that have nothing to do after school.

School, is a great chance to stop this phenomenon at its early stages and maybe make a difference. I think that schools should encourage students to contribute to the community. First, they should offer better grades in some subjects, in exchange for volunteering. These subjects may not be important ones , but less important like "social studies" or "behavior".

Second, schools should not spend all their time teaching the academic subjects, like math or English but to educate their students to be better people. In addition, they should contribute 1 hour a week for current events or teaching social values, so we can all become better people.

I think that these few ideas will make our community better and make us better citizens by teaching us values. In addition, I hope that this will help more students, teenagers and kids get more involved in the community.

Dear Sir/ Madam,


I am writing this letter to apply for the M.A degree. I saw your advertisement in our university forum. It appeared with a lot of qualifications from many students, and I just wanted to try to apply to your social workers course.

I gratuated high school with an average of 98(A). My majors were Psychology and Social studies. In both of them I got 100 (A+). At school time I studied psychology in the University of Tel Aviv.

Moreover, I studied the social field, in Harvard. Due to my recant engagement, I was forced to move. At Harvard I got the B.A with excellence. Afterwards, I helped other students with their social studies.

I heard a lot of recommendations about your university. A lot of my friends studied in your university, and I want to study there too. I think I am capable of studding in your university. I would like you to send me an application form.


Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Ms. Black,

I would like to get some information about the organized trips you offer. I am a 74 year old grandfather of 7 grandchildren, and 5 children. Despite my old age, I like hiking, running and other extreme sports. It's my third trip to New York .

As I mentioned earlier, I am involved in extreme sports, so I want a challenging trip. I would like it to involve running, hiking, etc. In addition, I would like it to involve(ww. - include) natural parks and nature resorvations rather than museums, national buildings etc. Yet, I would like to learn about the American culture.

I would like to get information about the hotels I stay in, the trip schedule and the costs of everything. If it's not too hard, I would like a cheap trip, because I live on my retirement funds.Moreover, I would like to be part of a small group, because in a big one,I can not concentrate and understand a thing

My time is running out, so I hope to get the information I asked for earlier, very soon. Moreover, I would like to recommend your company to my friends, so I would like you to send me your brochure.

Best regards,
James Richardson

Excellent.

Dear Sir\ Madam,
I am writing this letter to suggest a new idea for the teenager show. I really think that the new show that you want to produce will amaze a lot of people; it's a great opportunity for teenagers to express themselves.

I think that it needs to be an advice show for teenagers, and the teenagers will lead the show. This show will cooperate with specialists such as doctors and psychologists, but mainly teenagers will give advice. The teenagers that give advice will be special teenagers that had been in difficult situations, such as addiction or abuse.

This show will be astounding. I know that teenagers seek advice but not from specialists, rather, from other teenagers. Due to the wide subject of the show, a lot of teenagers with many kinds of problems can call, and talk such as peer pressure, alcohol, drugs etc.

I want to thank you for giving us the chance to express ourselves, and our needs by those letters. I deeply hope that my idea will be chosen, but I am sure that there are many more great ideas.
I Look forward for your replay,
Truly yours,
Celine Dion
