Bad food habits

There has always been a connection between food and behavior. In the article "The Disaster between our ears" the nutritionist Alice Brown says that we all (have) to be more responsible for what we are eat. However, many parents are not aware of this fact.

As a result (This is not the best way to begin a paragraph), parents allow their children to eat too much sugar and caffeine in their meals. For example, my cousin, Eden, From Rosh Ha'Ain becomes hyperactive after eating or drinking sugar or caffeine. (However,) His typical breakfast consists of cereal with lots and lots of sugar.

A suggestion to helping(gr.) the situation would be to educate parents and teach them about the importance of balances(gr.) diets. The media should be used to promote healthy eating skills (Explain - in what way van the media be used?).

As a conclusion, I believe that we all should be more aware of our eating habits. Then we can be more responsible for our behavior. By balancing our meals we can control ourselves and our life(gr. - lives)

Yes, Hofit, everything you've written is correct but you haven't dealt with the issue I presented: What about the food manufacturers? Should they be held responsible? Now, I understand, from your essay, that the answer is no, but you should mention them and the fact that it's not their responsibility.

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to respond to an article that I saw published in the Ha'aretz newspaper on september 1, 2009.(add the name of the article). I strongly object to whale hunting. there are many reasons why and I believe that many people will agree with me. The ones who do not agree with me just don't understand that whales are living creatures that desrve to live just like us.

First, we know that a few years ago the world realized that the whales were about to be extinct. Ever since, a few laws were protecting(phr. abd gr.) those whales. Like the article said the law had a breach which said that people can hunt whales for purpose of research. But I have to say that it is wrong to hunt and kill such pure innocent creature.

Like you mentioned in the article, there's only one problem left. People still hunt the whales but now they pretend that the hunt is for research. The hunters don't really care about the whales, they care about the profits they are about to gain from the death of those whales. In the meantime, the government stands still and does nothing!

I expect the law to understand the importance of protecting the whales. they are part of the life circle and can't be destroyed. I really hope to change somthing with this letter and I hope you will publish it.

yours truly,

Hofit Levy

Swine flu

We all heard about the Swine flu, we all know how deadly it is and how many people have already died or just about to knock at the death's door. The news is talking non-stop about the Swine flu, about the vaccine against it. But are we all sure that those vaccines will stop the Swine flu?

I'm pretty worried about the approaching events. The first one is of course, the upcoming school year. It's enough that only one student will carry(gr.) this virus and the next thing we know is that the whole school will get infected. The school will be like habitat of the Swine flu.

In addition, the winter is approaching us quickly . This will make people get weaker and unable to deal successfully with the Swine flu. More people will get infected and more people will become very close to death.

I think that in the next days or months we should all be more careful with our surroundings. We need to take safety measures and not drink from the same bottle and not eating(gr.) from the same fork and the like. It may sound stupid, but this might prevents(gr.) us from getting infected.

Whales hunting

I believe we have heard about the whale hunting. I also believe that it should be stopped immediately! Lots of organizations are gathering to try and stop the hunting, but no matter how many warnings they publish or how many laws they make, people just don't seem to understand that this is wrong!

A few years ago the world realized that the whales were about to be extinct. Ever since, a few laws were protecting(phr. - "..were passed to protect...") those whales. But the law had a breach which said that people can hunt whales for purpose of research. But(ww. - try - "however "this time) I have to say that it is wrong to hunt and kill such pure innocent creature.

The problem is that people still hunt the whales but now they pretend that the hunt is for research. The hunters don't really care about the whales, they care about the profits they are about to gain from the death of those whales. In the meantime, the government stands still and does nothing!

I think that it is necessary that our ministers and prime minister start affecting those whales' lives and help them survive the most dangerous journey they have been through – life. They should stop the killing and end the hunting even if its for research!
