Cell phones in schools- Fixed

A month ago, my principal decided that students would not be allowed to bring cell phones to school.She made this decision because there is a problem in our school, since students bring their cell phones with them to class, and use them during the lessons. I agree with this decision to not bring cell phones to class.

Cell phones damage the students' concentration and it affects their grades. When they play with their cell phones during class, they concentrate only on their phone and they do not listen to the teacher or write anything in their notebooks. This problem makes the students lose a lot of important material and as a result, they fail in tests. 

Another reason why cell phones are not needed in schools is the radiation.When the students sit in class with their cell phones, a lot of radiation is emitted and it can cause the students to health problems and one of them is cancer.

In c
onclusion, bringing cell phones to class has many disadvantage. They make the students fail in tests,might make them sick because of the radiation. Even though the other students in school think that this rule is bad,I think that this rule is very useful and the lessons are much quieter thanks to it.

Very Good work.

School activities-Fixed

School activities are important activities, which enrich the students' knowledge and let them know about their country's culture. In our school, we go to many activities, such as going to a play, field trips and movies. I think that these activities are very beneficial and expand the students'  horizons.

My favorite
activity is going on field trips. Field trips make you know your country better and illustrate the things you have learned in class in a more fun and interesting way. For example, after we learned about the change in the Israeli coastal plain from the year 1850 until today, we went to Tel Aviv to see how and where the changes occurred. After that trip, I understood the material better and I got 100 in the test. This example shows how the field trips are very effective on the students' understanding and grades.

Another favorite activity of mine is going to a show in the theatre.These shows enrich the language of the students. In the show, the actors use a literary language, which helps the students to learn new words and talk differently.Shows also allow the students to know famous playwrights, who lived a long time ago, and without these activities we would not be exposed to them and know them at all. For example, I once went with my school to see the famous theatre show "Romeo and Juliet". Before that theatre show, I did not know the story. Thanks to this theatre show, I know the storyline and also the writer of this theatre show ,William Shakespeare.

In
conclusion, school activities have many benefits, they are important for general knowledge, they help the students to understand the material better and they let the students relax from school for one day and have fun. In my opinion, all the school activities are important for the students knowledge and in our school, the activities are very interesting and every activity is necessary.I do not want any of these activities to be replaced or canceled.

Very good.
