Essay. It has recently been announced that a new high school may be built in your neighborhood. Do you support or oppose this plan? Use specific reasons and details in your answer.

Education is very important for our future. It begins in nursery school and never stops. One of the most  crucial stages is the high school however if  a new high school is declared to be built in your community, there are both positive and negative features for the community inhabitants.

As for situation in our neighborhood I can see many more pluses than minuses in building a new school round here. The positive aspects begin with the appearance of new places for pupils. Other over-crowded schools, located nearby will be able to redirect some students to a new school. Besides, the amount of children in Israel is constantly growing, so it'll be reasonable to prepare additional place to study prior to this time. 

The benefit for adults in the case of new school appearance is extra work places for teachers, admission officers and administration staff. Furthermore, this means additional taxes to the city budget. Besides, the school staff can be interested in living close to the workplace, so the quality of social structure in our community will be higher. 

Unfortunately, negative pitfalls also can be presented  on the condition that a new school will be built. Noise in the morning and during the breaks,  garbage on the adjacent areas, smoking youth... all of these cannot be attractive. And must also admit that there will also be the traffic jams in the morning, as some parents drive their children to school.

In conclusion I can add that my opinion on this theme is based on the fact that I am a mum of 5 year old daughter. My point of view relies on the opportunities that can be open personally for me and to my daughter. I believe that this advantages are more important in our occasion.

Essay 8. Governments around the world are spending billions in support of space programs. This money would be better spent on research into improvements in human health. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Almost each developed country spends a huge sum of money on exploring space. They build spaceships which cost billions of dollars and make a huge amount of expensive experiments in aerospace. Some people consider that there is no sense in the above mentioned expenditures.Consequently, the money which could be saved by shortening aerospace budget should be redirected to social needs. I also think so due to several reasons.

At first I think, that the huge amount of money spent on space science could save plenty of lives today, not in the distant future. For instance, it costs forty thousand dollars to make kidney transplantation, but lots of people die because they have not enough money and time to wait. It is really unbelievable, how many people's lives could be saved if even half of "space money" was redirected into improvements in human health.

One more reason for me to consider spending money on space programs as just a waste of billions dollars is the fact, that there aren't enough benefits from investing money in space programs. It does contribute to the development of science, however for an ordinary person it's almost impossible to see and feel the results. There is no difference for farmers, for example, what is going on in the space, as agriculturists would not grow their gather in airships in the closest time. We don't even know about the discoveries which had been done. Moreover some of these inventions would never be implemented.

One more cause to reduce space exploration is the opportunity to bring a mortal disease from the universe. People could die, as outside organisms could have another structure and the diseases which they cause could be fatal. On the other hand we can also bring our sicknesses to the universe.

I am persuaded that airspace exploration is caused by curious nature of humans, who always strived to discover and explore something new. But we should keep a balance between our curiosity, dangers and current needs.

Essay 7. Buying fashionable clothes is wasteful because people don't need new clothes all the time. Clothing should be bought and used more wisely. Do you agree?

Meet by clothes, see off by mind. This proverb is very topical nowadays. A lot of people buy more and more fashionable clothes to be evaluated positevely by others. I agree that buying fashionable clothes is rather wasteful, but I should admit that there are some cases, when person should "keep the trend". 

I'm persuaded that there are a number of wise ways to spend somebody's money than to waste it on the clothes which is "on the wave" only for one season or less. This money could be spent on education, housing, leisure time or hobbies instead of being thrown away. For instance, I'd better buy a new book, than a new t-shirt.

Another cause to buy the clothes wisely is the fact that new trends in fashion don't suit everyone sometimes. Some fashionable colors could make you unattractive. So red colour which is on "pick" now, doesn't suit me, as my skin a is also becoming reddish, and the same was with "pointed shoes". My legs looked as skis. My size was 39 and additional 3 sm on the "nose" of the shoes made my legs immense. 

Though there are some cases when people should follow the trends. Celebrities wear top quality designer clothes, as only wealthy people can afford themselves buying such expensive clothes. In such cases - "clothes make the man. Top managers, politicians should wear classic style clothes. There is a risk of similarity, but I consider, that there is no place for red suit in politician's wardrobe. Some detailes or accessories could make a persont look different not like the others. 

To conclude, I am persuaded that people should keep in mind the models and colours that suit them, but there should be a place for a little experiment. And of course, some outstanding occasions could be marked with creative and fashionable looks.

Essay 5. Directors of large companies often receive much bigger salary increases than ordinary workers. Employers' organizations say that in a global market this is necessary to attract the best management talent. What are your views?

 The tendency to employ the best staff and to pay them considerably more than to others is becoming more popular, as big bosses prefer paying more to professionals, and receive max outcome from them. I believe that this fact has its explanation.

 First of all, I'm persuaded that each man should be paid according to their input. Motivation is more personalized and capitalized nowadays. Considerably higher salary stimulates less professional managers to improve their skills, so as to be paid more and build one's career ladder. For example, sales managers are paid more, if they got more clients this month, than the previous one. The best emploee would be rewarded according to their desire and possibility to make a profit.

 Secondly, I think, that the work of top managers is very responsible. Such people are in charge of a number of different departments. If the company director makes a mistake, the consequences make enormous influence on the whole process, leading to the stagnation or even decrease in the development of enterprise. Such failures could cost their career. I believe that such higly accountable and burning out jobs should be rewarded correspondingly. 

   In conclusion, I believe that everything which is best should cost much more than something usual. As our expectations are higher, we decide to pay considerably more. If the best personnel are hired, the best decisions are expected to be made, the biggest profit is expected to be received. I consider, that this above-mentioned phenomenon is the best motivation to evolve, to improve one's skills, to become more professional and better paid.

Essay 4.Many people are using credit cards or loans to run up huge personal debts that they may be unable to repay. It should therefore be made more difficult for individuals to borrow large amounts of money.

Nowadays it's a usual practice among people to borrow the money from banks in order to cover one's needs. I'm speaking about all kinds of loans, mortgages, payments breaking down. I believe that this tendency is not all roses and in some cases it should be made more difficult for citizens to take an advantage of this option, though not in all of the cases.

 The most significant reason to make the process of getting money from the bank more complicated, as I believe, is the statement that people should live up to their income. I'm persuaded that it's reasonable to control one's real income, therefore a desire to increase one's earnings awakes. For instance, my wish to move to Canada brought about some changes in our life. We try to earn more money and to save it, besides we have reduced our leisure expenses. Although it's not so easy.
The second reason for supporting my negative view of "easy loans" is the fact that we are not living in a fairy tale. Let's assume that someone took a loan without giving a second thought to it, if he is able to repay this sum. And one day the tale finished due to some reasons. This person could be recognized as broken, or even set in a jail. Something like this happened with little mermaid. She made a deal, but hadn't thought before if she complies with it. Everyone should think more than twice, if they really need money so quickly and in such an amount, that they apply to the bank. And, of course, some steps should be taken to ensure that they are able to return the loan.
Nevertheless, there are some emergency cases in which it is reasonable to borrow money from the bank. The first case is illness. In this situation every day counts. As a result the "easy loan" saves lives. Another cause to take a loan is full confidence that the borrowed money will paid off in spades. And sometimes it works.
All in all, there are two sides of each coin. There are some pluses and minuses in support of making more difficult for individuals to borrow money, and of course there are some advantages and disadvantages of making this process easier. In each individual case the person decides himself. Some cases are more important, some are less ones. I believe that taking loans should be a more difficult process, but in some cases the bank should be in client's shoes, and give the money as soon as it is ever possible.
