Car Accidents

A recent research, that was published last Friday in Ha'aretz newspaper, pointed out that young drivers are involved in many accidents. Moreover, an additional article indicated that most of the car accidents happen because of youth's inadequate decision making. Thus, an organization of accident victims has recently proposed that the age for getting a driver's license should be raised to 19.

I support this suggestion and I believe it is a great way to decrease the car accidents. That is because an adult's discretion is more advanced than a young one. Meaning, adults often concider the results of their actions while young people do not, and by that they prevent dangerous driving. In addition, getting a driver's license at the age of 17 causes the students to spend their time focusing on getting the license instead of focusing on school.

However, there is another way to reduce accidents, like having a course every 5 months, in which the drivers would participate in discussions and would refresh their theory driving test. I suggest a rule that would obligate all the drivers to participate in those courses. By participating in those courses, the drivers would be more aware to dangerous situations on the road and would have the tools to deal with complicated situations and prevent accidents.

To conclude, I honestly believe those accidents are preventable. I hope one of the rules I mentioned before would pass, because if it does, I am sure we will notice a significant decrease in car accidents.
Good work. This is better.

The Internet

The internet is an invention that has revolutionized our lives. Today it serves us in varied fields like politics, culture, society, economy and more. It serves as a tool for chatting between people, as an information source, as a media archive and more. It includes a lot of gadgets as games, clock, dictionery, encyclopedia, diary and more. We can find on the Internet everything we want, beginning with a conversation with our friends or available song lists, and ending with available(מיותר) movies lists.

On the one hand, this technological development allows a combination of different activities, as listening to music while chatting with friends. Moreover, it contains usable information that answers varied questions and expanding(gr.) our horizons. In addition, the internet is very accessible. It allows some activities in the same place and at the same time(phr.).

On the other hand, the internet chatting replaces meeting with people. As you begin working with the internet, it is hard for you to stop. This causes laziness that is expressed by not doing homework, not meeting with friends, not doing sports, not attendancing(sp.) in(מיותר) social events and more. The long stay with the computer makes the brain to backslide(phr.) as time goes on.

To conclude, I believe the internet is an excellent invention, which has adventages as well as disadventages. Thus, I think using the internet in moderation will be the best for all of us. However, I believe the internet is not a substitution for meeting friends or playing games. It is important to save our social links and(מיותר), staying as little as possible behind infornt of(phr.) the screen.

Good.This is better.
