Social Volunteering Work

It is not a secret that students' involvement in charity organizations is quite low all over the world. A recently published research pointed out Israel as the seventh country graded by it's low volunteer work. Most teenagers spend their time playing computer games or watching TV. Some even tend to get involved in violent events, while they can use their spare time volunteering in a specific organization or association and helping others.


There are a lot of organizations and places that need the help of those students. Moreover, there are different kinds of volunteer work that can fit every student's personality. In Holon, for instance, some charity organizations function consistently, animal shelters, youth movements and others.


I believe school is the main responsible for the pupils' poor attendance in the varied associations. I suggest schools offer a trophy or an appreciation certificate to those who take part in those organizations and by doing that, I hope, the attendance would increase. In addition, I think the teachers should dedicate a few lessons talking about the huge significance and importance of socical volunteering work.


To conclude, I recommend students to contribute to their community by volunteering and organizing some events to promote the associations' aims. The volunteering itself provides a lot of experience and presents an important challenge that fits any age.

Different Kinds Of Sports

(This is an opinion essay regarding the task on page 8 in Practice Papers for Module G).
.
Some people prefer team sports, while others believe individual sports are better. A research that has been conducted a few weeks ago, indicates that most of the teenagers prefer to exercise with a friend or a team. Another research, however, found out that adults tend to practice by themselves rather than in a team.


Nevertheless, I believe exercising in groups is the best. Exercising with a team increases individuals' motivation and makes them reach their extreme ability. Moreover, a TV show, that was broadcast last week, demonstrated that team sports makes teens feel supported by each other and it improves their performance.


In addition, most of the time individual sports can be quite boring. People might not practice regulary and therfore their physical fitness would not improve. A perfect example for this we can find in the well known TV show Sport Is Good, which emphasizes team sports' advantages and importance and shows interviews with famous gymnasts, that strongly supports team sport.


To conclude, I truly suggest everyone who wants to improve his physical shape to try to do it in a team. I believe it will make you get the best results in less time.

This is better. Good work.
