All the years of her life – post reading

There are some themes during the story(phr.). One of them is to be caught red-handed. When I was 5 years (old) I have done(gr.) something wrong, I have(מיותר) stole. This is something I remember until today and I will remember it for the rest of my life. I do regret it but I am also happy that (it) happened because from that day I have learned an important lesson.

When I was young, my mother asked me to buy milk from the grocery. She gave me 7 shekels, the exact money for paying the milk(phr.). When I got there I went to the refrigerator to get the milk and on my way to the cash desk(ww.-register) I saw a candy that looked really good. I wanted the candy really badly but I couldn't afford it because I didn't have the money for it. The more I looked at the candy the more I wanted it. At last, unreasonably, I took the candy and put it into my pocket without the cashier's attention. I went to the cash desk(ww.) really nervous because I wasn't sure if the Cashier noticed. I paid for the milk and went home.

When I got home I gave the milk to my mom as I was requested to, but my mother noticed that I had an extra candy in my pocket. She asked me how I got it. I admitted that I had stolen the candy. She explained to me why it was wrong stealing(gr.- to steal) because stealing is not only against the law but also it's hurting(gr.) the person I have(מיותר) stole from and I felt really guilty. She told me that we were going to get(ww.-go) back to the grocery to give it back and tell the cashier that I was sorry for stealing, and so we did.

From that day I have learned my lesson, I will never steal again.

This is much better!

To the Editor,

The article "Israel suspends standardized tests" talks about the decision to cancel the Mitzav tests in Israel. I support this decision because (of) the compelling arguments you have(מיותר) brought up during(ww.-in) the article.

In my opinion, tests, especially major tests, are(gr.-do) not only make the students overly nervous but also don't reflect the student's knowledge. Those tests are aimed by time and by the end of the time the student can't continue his test and he won't be able to show his real knowledge and hard work he has done to study for the test(phr.)

Moreover, tests have become the big tool for measuring the students knowledge and by grades the school divide the students(phr.). That's wrong because numbers can't tell that he is better than one person but less better than the other. All Students are different from each other and they can't be aimed(ww.) by the same tests because each student is(an) individual and a system that works on (ww.-for) one student (does) not necessary that will(מיותר) work on another student.

I believe that if every one of us who reads this article will think and remember his years in high school, we will remember how unfair the tests sometimes has(gr.) been and the tests that we couldn't
finish on time and has been taken from us.(phr.)


Sincerely yours,
Jane Mayer

This needs a lot of work. Please rewrite.
