How can we test the student's knowledge in the moment of truth?
Matriculation exams are the most reliable way of testing a student's knowledge, but not the only one. I would like to state my opinion about matriculation exams and suggest an alternative way of checking students' knowledge.
On the one hand, I support the matriculation exams. The matriculation exams are really the most reliable way of testing a students' knowledge, because only when each pupil is sitting alone and there are two testers, who keeps that you are not cheating, can it really reflect the pupil's own abilities.
On the other hand, as a 12th grade student, I can say that the matriculation exams are stressful due to their importance. Therefore, they do not always reflect the student's knowledge. I would like to suggest a less stressful way to check the student's knowledge, by handing in papers and projects, which will be checked carefully by the teacher. I believe this way it is better, because here the pupil is not under pressure.
To sum up, checking the student's knowledge in the moment of truth is very important, but matriculation exams are not the only way. I think that the way of matriculation exams is very stressful and could be replaced partially by projects.

My Friend
Have you ever thought about the question "am I a real friend?". "The best friend" is a title which is hard to get. Who is a real friend? How could you be a real friend? And which qualities should you have in order to be a "friend"?
In my opinion, the most important qualities which should be in a friend is supporting. Everyone needs somebody whom he could trust in hard conditions. I think that a real friend will recognize himself when you need him and will always be there for you . It is very important to have somebody you can turn to and trust. This quality in a person could affect his relationships with his surrounding for better or worse.
Another quality, which is not less important, is the ability to be honest with your friend. You should know to tell him the truth about things he asks or about his choises. You should know to tell him when you think he is wrong. I think that if you do not tell the truth it is such an hypocrisy and it could destroy the trust between you. In that way, it could affect your relationship.
To sum up, it is not really hard to be a real friend. All you have to do is put yourself in your friend's place and think how you would want him to behave. After all, it can only help you and affect positively your relationships with others and you can only gain from it.
