break between semesters

Nowadays, Many changes occur in the education system as part of a series of changes. One of those changes is a proposal that has been made by the Minister of Education that the school year begin in the middle of August, instead of at the beginning of September, and that there be a two-week break between semesters. I agree with his proposal.

The summer break is important to the students and allows them to relax, hang out, etc' but it is too long. In Augost, the second month of the vacation, students get bored and do a lot of foolish things. According to a study that has been conduct by police officers, the rate of violence among youth is 2 times higher during summer vacation.

In adittion, a vacation between semesters will give the studants time to rest after the effort they invested in the first semester, and go back to school with renewed strength. in addition, it will give teachers time to rest, and think about improvements in their work.

To conclude, I think the school year should begin in the middle of August, instead of at the beginning of September, because the students get bored and do foolish things. Moreover, after the whole semester, students and teachers feel tired, so the break between the semesters will refresh their minds.

success

Nowadays, we can see a lot of examples of successful people. As we know, everyone wants to be successful, but only few of them can actually make it. So what makes people to be a story of success? I think that there are some features that characterize success.

In my opinion, one of the defining characteristics of success is perseverance- constant in effort to accomplish something. If someone works hard, he will eventually be successes in life. When person works hard, and never gives up, we will see a results for his hard working.

Another characteristic of success is ambition- an earnest desire for some type of achievement. I think it is very important to be ambitious and set yourself tragets. When you have goals, you can concentrate on the achievement of them.

By way of conclusion, success comes from a persom that works hard, and has a desire for some type of achivement as success. Anyway, in my opinion perseverance and ambition is the only way to get a credible reason that may be most near to the true if it really exists there.

License to Kill

Nowadays, many young drivers are involved in a lot of accidents. Statistically every driver under the age of 19 will be involved in an accident in the first two years since he got his driver's license. Numerous accidents caused by young drivers are mostly deadly.

The age of getting a driver's license these days is 17. Accordingly, the youth get their driver's license at about the same age. An organization of accident victims has recently proposed that the age for getting a driver's license should be raised to 19. I believe that this proposal will help to reduce the amount of accidents involving youngsters occurring(gr.) these days.

The suggestion that the age of getting a driver's license should be raised to 19 has many advantages. Scientifically speaking, at the age of 19 people have better judgment and are less affected by peer pressure. Accordingly, the amount of accidents would be drastically decreased.

In conclusion, I believe that the age of getting a driver's license should be raised. I think it is a very wise and important thing to do. Ideally the paved road will be a safe place again for people to use and cross by.

Excellent work !

volunteer

Nowadays, only a few teenagers are involved in their community. Teenagers around the world are used to thinking only about their own world. They usually do not pay enough attention to their community. In my opinion, it is very important for teens to be involved in their community, they will learn from it.

Moreover, I believe that it is essential for teenagers to be involved in their communities. Some of the teenagers are not involved enough in their community, and this is the cause for the lack of knowledge in a lot of important issues, like poverty. So, if they are more involved, they will understand more main issues in the community.

In addition, I think that teenagers today have a lot of different ways to be more involved in their communities. For example, they can volunteer in a Nursing home and help older people. Also, they can join a youth group, where they can talk about current events and express their opinion in a lot of issues.

To sum up, I think that it is very important for teenagers to be involved in the community. They have a range of places where they can volunteer. I believe that if they try it, they will enjoy and continue to volunteer.

Much better. Good work!

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing because I wish to complain about the sudden raise the prices in your shop.

First of all, I buy from your shop regularly and even before the recent increase, I noticed that the prices in your shop were too high for the simple clothes you sell. So, I think that you can’t raise the prices anymore because it is not fair to your clients.

Secondly, in your advertisement, you published that you will raised the prices in your shop because you are going to bring to ‘Lee-Cooper’ a new collection of qualitative clothes from abroad. But a month later I discovered that the clothes in your shop stayed the same and there were no new clothes.

In conclusion, I am very disappointed with your company. I would appreciate it if you canceled the increase and returned the previous prices to your shop or I’m sure that you will lose many clients.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours truly,

Dana Levi

Dear Mr. Yarden

I am writing in response to your add, which was advertised in CA Magazine. I would like to apply for the summer-camp counselor position. I am 27, and currently living in California. I have a degree in social studies. In the past I was a counselor in a youth movement, guiding a group of kids.

Also, I worked as a teacher in High-school for a while. As I grew up, I realized how much I love to be with little kids and how much I love making them laugh. I have two young brothers and two sisters, so I know how to deal with kids and make them listen. I hope you will consider me for the job.

Sincerely yours,

Dana Levi

Very good work, although a bit late.
