Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to join your voluntary organization called "Cyber Angel". In our digital age, it's becoming incredibly common. Many people all around the world have been victims of cyber crimes, such as stalking people in the chat rooms. Like you, I want to fight those crimes and make sure the victims are safe.

If you wonder why I believe that I am suitable for "Cyber Angels" I am sure you will be surprised to know that I have been a victim of the criminals that we are talking about. They keep on bother and harass me. Inspite of give up to those criminals, I found out about the Cyber Angels organization and I am glad you helped me.

I believe that I can contribute to the organization because of my experience in computers. I like to spend my free time on the computer.I had five points in computers Bagrut Exam. Furthermore, I spend a lot of time on the computer and I know many things on this subject.


In my opinion, the goal of the organization is very important and the problem of this harassment on the internet is a very important issue. Therefore, I would like to do the best I can to help in the attempt to stop this phenomenon.


I hope to hear from you soon,


Sincerely yours,

Mario Kuba.

Virtual Classes

For the past few mounths the issue of virtual classes has been debated in many levels, such as teachers, parents and students. In this new way of studying, students have the opportunity to learn the material from the internet, instead of the traditional frontal lessons of learning in the class. Recently there have been opinions claiming that this new way of studying is worthless.

On the one hand, learning through the internet gives the student an opportunity to learn at his own personal pace, since most of the learning is done by the students with the teacher's guide. This improves the student's ability to understand the material more effectively. Furthemore, if the pupil does not understand some of the reading material, he can write an e-mail to his teacher and ask for help.

On the other hand, the virtual classes make the most important objectives provided by school's student - social meetings. At school, the pupils learn how to contact others but sitting in front of the computer all day long harms the student since this way the student does not develop any social skills.
In addition, this new program has economic problems. There are many families who do not have a computer. They will have to buy a computer that costs a lot of money in order for their children to study.

To conclude, I believe this new form of learning is very unique and special since it has never been tried before. However, I think that this new way of studying should not replace the old and good way of studying which includes learning with other students in the same room with a real teacher.
