Virtual Classroom

The Virtual classroom is a succesful system that attracks students to study on the internet. To join a virtual class you need to get its address and go on line to its site on the net. You choose whatever course you want and you can see how your teacher or every student in the course look like. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

Well, this system has many adventages. It offers the students more options of learning that are offered in school, because in school they can't learn everything they want, so they have to compromise on another subject. On the other hand, on the net they might find any subject they are interested to learn. In addition, the internet allows the pupils to advance according to their level and pace, without any pressure.

However, the virtual classrom has some disadventages too. The Virtual classroom requires using the internet, which might constitute some difficulties because of the technical problems, that can be very annoying. Moreover, school makes the students to live in a rutine, that might help them in getting in social circles and creating good social friendships.

I think that this new system fits a uniqe kind of students, that preffer to study more easily and calmly. Despite this, I think that belonging to a rutine contributes to form the students' personality. So, for all of those that think that the virtual classroom is the right thing for them, I support it, but I definitely recomend trying to learn in school before making a choice.

Dear Madam,

Each year, 11th graders from our school are given the opportunity to join a group of Israeli students and teachers going on a trip to Poland. This trip is very significant to Israelis and Jews in general and I want to take part in this important journey to concentration camps in Poland. However, I am writing to you because I wish to complain about the high price of the trip.

Because of the high price of this significant trip, many students, including me, can not afford to go on the trip, in spite of its importance. However, I know that the school tries to help by giving some scholarships to some pupils, who are in deep economic trouble, but it does not help them so much because the scholarships' value is low.

Thus, we can see that not a lot of students go on this journey. Joining this journey symbolises to me and many others a lot, and since I was young I wanted to go on this trip. However, it will be an unfulfilled dream of mine because I don't have the requried money.

In conclusion, I am very disappointed with the school's involvement in this issue. I would appriciate this school much more if it gave higher scholarships, but if it is not possible, I would like to hear some other solutions.

Yours truly,

Reut Shiran.

This is better. Good work.
