Bagrut Exams

Some people believe that the Bagrut exams are the most reliable way of testing the students' knowledge. I think this is right and the best way so far to know how good the students are.

First of all, the Bagrut exams provide the knowledge of the student's abilities in "real time ".Every student has his own test, but same question as the other students. This way the grades can be more accurate about the student's knowledge. For example; researches from the U.S show that final exams are the best accurate way testing the students' knowledge.

Second, Bagrut exams test all students in every high school in the same time, and asking the same questions.

The questions all over the country are the same, so there is no " gap knowledge " between people which born at the same year but not at the same city at Israel(phr. - not clear).

To sum up, I believe that the Bagrut exams are the best way of testing students so far, and until there is a better way to know about our knowledge the education system should keep it as it is.

Kind of Sports

Sport is a very large "issue" divided to two main categories: Team sports and individual sports. Team sport(s) combine the strategy from the whole team(phr.) while individual spots focus on self ability(ww.). They are both popular all over the world, (however,) I think team sports is better.

First of all, team sports is a(מיותר) much more complicated then(sp.) individual sports ; the players work as a team, win as a team. They use the fact of being(phr.) in a group and have better score(s), which is one of the advantages of playing in a team.

In addition, playing in a team is much more attractive than individual sport(s).In my opinion, watching a group of people winning together making(gr.) the fans much more exiting(ww.). I think that this is the main reason why team sports are more popular than individual sports. For example, football and basketball games have more fans than a marathon race.


To sum up, team sports and individual sports sometimes seem similar, but they are totaly different. I believe that the exitement of the team sports attract people more then(sp.) individual sport(s).

You are still not explaining clearly. You have to rephrase some of your sentences.
