Vezi mai jos conditiile de participare
Conditii 11-14 ani.
The world we live in is far from perfect and some people may even say “Well, what can I do about it? It’s up to more powerful people to fix the world.” But what if you really had the power to make a change?
Write a 200-word essay in which you present one thing you would change about our world and the reasons behind your choice.
In your essay, you could include or develop one or more of the following ideas:
- Is there anything to change about our world? Who or what will benefit from this change?
- Will your change create a domino effect? Will there be consequences?
- How long would it take you to make the change?
- Would you change any laws?
Conditii 15-19 ani
One may think that there are so many flaws in this world that it is almost impossible to pinpoint only one aspect which needs to be changed. Unfortunately, people fear to take action anymore and pass by different issues that would need to be addressed immediately. However, no change happens by itself – the idea needs to be planted by people in other people’s head, just like a seed. So, if you were given the power to make a change, what would your first thought be?
Write a 250-word essay in which you present one thing you would change about our world and the reasons behind your choice.
- Is there anything that really needs to be changed about the world we live in?
- What would the consequences to your change be?
- What methods would you use to implement this change?
- Who or what does this change affect and how?

Shakespeare School Essay Competition
from TEEN SPIRIT Nr. 9/2021-2022
I, myself, have always liked seeing my friends at school and having chats with them in the hallways, simply socializing. That's one of the reasons I'll always support off-line school, but that's not all of them. Offline school creates a much more stable environment for learning, given that the teachers can approach the students hands-on and so have an easier time getting them to participate in class discussions or activities. In offline school, the teacher-student relationship is stronger than in online. It's also more accessible for students to gain information from their professors about classes and contests. The attention span of kids/teenagers will also benefit more from off-line school, since in onine you could imagine how hard it is to stay connected with what your teacher is saying and to understand the subject. There are many problems created by the lack of good internet connection, which could result in students missing information. The connection between student and teacher is severed, the homes of the students too comfortable for concentration and too quiet for the active imaginations they possess. Offline school is the most sensible approach to teaching, but it is tradition, too. (Ilinca Ciupercă, 7A) *** There is no secret that the pandemic has changed our lives forever. Who would have foreseen this radical shift to online classes? To me, e-learning is certainly tough but enjoyable. The big problem is the teacher-student relationships which are worsening because of the lack of proper communication. Another issue is the limited possibilities that come along. Not every kid has enough money to buy a tablet, let alone have internet connection. But with that said, online classes have their own advantages: you can find whatever your heart desires in just one click. I do like offline school over online, because everything is increasingly better: you can interact freely again, you have kids standing next to you that you can talk to, and the best thing: no need for internet or a laptop, so everyone has access to learning. It’s mostly about equality and communication. Everyone needs to have a chance at proper education and by the Psychosocial Stages of Development socializing plays a big part in a teenager's life, when you’ re trying to discover yourself. To sum it up, I prefer offline school, because of the better environment that is created and the perks that come with it. (Ana Ovedenie, 7A) ***
In this essay, I would like to tackle the idea of online school as opposed to offline school. First off, how efficacious is online school set against offline school? As I see it, online school was the best way we could’ve dealt with the situation we were put up against, even though it is far from offline school. One can’t always pay attention to their surroundings due to the endless ways that make you get distracted in your room. Even though some may not show interest regardless, the probability of losing focus is higher here, due to the lack of people, in other words, less socializing. People don’ t cope well isolated, because of lack of human interaction. One cannot bare in a mentally healthy way without some form of noise, in this case a conversation. On the contrary, there are some benefits in online school. Our cuttingedge tech provides options that bring more peace and a more organized lesson, such as muting your microphone, breakout rooms, screen sharing, etc. But, there still is a huge elephant in the room which hasn’ t been discussed, the superficial idea of school formed from online by students and teachers. No one puts as much effort in teaching or understanding what the teacher is saying, thus lowering the expectations of numerous schools, high schools, and universities. Overall, it may be said that online school is not as effective as offline school, even though the idea of online school itself is highly efficient. (Alexandra Matache, 7A) ***
Covid, masks, vaccines, all of them just randomly started around the world, but I have a favorite situation, probably almost everyone hates it but Ii actually love it. That is online school. Online school is just sitting in front of a computer, connecting to Zoom and listening to what the teacher is saying even though they are probably glitching cause most of them are old and don’t even know how to connect to the internet correctly.I don’t think online learning is more effective than offline learning because half of the students aren ’t even paying attention in online classes, some of them are eating, some of them are just lying about their microphones not working, and some of them talk with each other in private. There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of online learning, some advantages are waking up late, not having to walk or bike to school, not seeing your very much annoying classmates almost every day, and probably not having to wear a mask for more than seven hours. Some disadvantages are not understanding what the teacher is saying, can’t connect to the internet and online tests. So that’s why I personally like online learning. (Maya Song, 7A)
In my opinion, traditional school has more advantages than online school. The first one is the relation with our colleagues and our teachers, which is important because it shapes our communication skills. Also, at school, students understand lessons better
than at home where they could deal with Internet, microphone or camera issues. Besides, the evaluation is more relevant in offline classes.
Furthermore, let’s think about our mental and physical health, another important thing in human life. I can say from my personal experience that, since the online education system started, I was forced to stay for hours in front of a laptop, plus I am a kid who wears glasses and whose eyes were affected a lot that amount of time. Also we have to admit that our mental health was much more affected because there is no way you can cure it. I can say that I've never thought that the only fact that I go to school almost every day would make me so happy. I don’t regret that I've experienced online school because this made me see things differently and I a more appreciative of what I used to do before the pandemic. (Maria Dragomir, 7A) *** As a 7th grade student, I think that Online Learning made me lose a lot of stuff, as I couldn’t concentrate and learn the materials. This type of learning isn't as effective as traditional school since students could be doing anything behind the camera. Additionally, some don’t feel comfortable asking professors to repeat something or dive into deeper detail on a specific topic, whereas, at school, after the lesson, they can go up to the teacher and talk to them. Despite the flexibility of the virtual environment which allows you to literally feel at home, eat proper meals and stop commuting, in brick-and-mortar schools you can truly develop good learning habits and social skills, because you have to be punctual, prepared and respectful. There won’t be any gadget addictions since mobiles are forbidden unless teachers require students to use them. Going to school brings up the question of the heavy backpack you must carry, but it's preferable to the physical and mental health problems that the online education provokes: you’re getting fatter, your eyes hurt more, and your back hurts, you will feel more tired, more lonely and more frustrated than usual. Shortly, I'm for traditional learning. (Carmen Leah, 7A)
*** We are a digital generation. But despite this, we should value human interaction much more. It is a vital thing for our development as human beings. Online learning looks at first sight easy and handy. But the fact that we are away makes concentration difficult - we get distracted easily. Online education makes people lonely. They start school, they try to communicate during breaks but it’s hard, and then the day ends. The absence of colleagues and teachers makes kids feel desolate and, in the end, sad. We cannot run, laugh, have a hand shake, see a smile. It’s tough in the long term and it’s the most unpleasant aspect of digitalization. Online school weakens motivation. In traditional school the presence of a teacher is very important to us, since it leads to greater attention to lessons and makes us wish to participate much more actively. Online school offered us the possibility to attend classes in a tough situation, when going to brick-and-mortar schools was impossible. It taught us how to overcome the distance barrier. But traditional learning is the one on which our history as humanity was built and we should never forget it and stop appreciating it. (Mihai Gligan, 6B) ***
Everybody thought that online education would become the future of learning until the outbreak of Covid-19. In the Pandemic, online school became a daily part of all students and teachers' lives, but I must say I prefer offline school. And here's why. First, offline school is much more effective because, at home, you're guaranteed to get distracted and leave today's work for later until you forget about it while, at school, the students face their teachers, who check homework and make sure that everyone understood the lesson. Second, health wise, offline school is so much better. You get to go outside, get fresh air and as we all know, the best and easiest way to get some exercise, walking. Last but not least, at school you socialise more. Ok, yes, you can do this online as well, but it just feels more natural to me to have face-to-face conversations with my friends. Overall, I am really happy that we can return to school. It'll take us some time to readjust to our previous habits after two years of online school, but, from now on, I hope everything will go well and we won't do online school ever again. (Andrada Michinici, 7A)
*** The last year has been vastly problematic, instigated by the new virus, whose exposure triggers multiple symptoms. Because of the sudden pandemic and the carefully selected restrictions, education has resorted to more severe measures, ergo the invention of both beneficial and detrimental online school. Online school is one of the most effective methods of coping with the pandemic for students, adopting a digital technique of teaching. It has allowed students all around the globe to attend school on a daily basis, in spite of unfavourable circumstances of the situation. It can also be regarded as an unsuitable factor for a child’s or adolescent’ s mental and physical growth. Spending several consecutive hours with their eyes in front of a screen can take a toll on one ’s physique. While many less fortunate kids didn’t get the chance to be present to school due to the abysmal lack of technology, numerous are the ones that did suffer physical consequences, such as eye strain, back, neck and wrist pain, headaches, insomnia and even the carpel tunnel syndrome. To put it briefly, we can candidly declare online school as both a blessing and a curse. (Alexandra Antohe, 7A, elevă calificată la Etapa Națională a Olimpiadei de Limba Engleză 2022)
