PROBLEMS OF VALJEVO: CINEMAS IN VALJEVO

Dear Editor,

I am writing to complain about our cinema. It is too small, so people who can afford it do not want to watch movies because the cinema is old-fashioned and uncomfortable.
Also, people like domestic movies only. When a foreign film is on, the cinema is almost empty. People do not see that foreign films can be as interesting as domestic ones. It seems that they only like comedies and they hate horrors and action movies.
I suggest that we build a new cinema. If we did that more people would come. After that tickets could be cheaper, and the money would not be the problem. If we show the people that foreign films are good they might change their opinion. We could start our action by offering people to come to the cinema every week and watch interesting foreign films for free.
The local goverment think that the new cinema will be too expensive. However, in my opinion, it will only bring more money. I look forward to starting more actions connected with this issue.

Yours faithfully,

STEFAN KOSTIC

PROBLEMS OF VALJEVO: School Problems

SCHOOL PROBLEMS


Dear Editor,

I am writing to complain about students’ problems and their schools. A lot of students are unhappy with theier teachers and work load. Nevertheless, they cannot make their voices heard.

The conditions in many schools are unbearable since nobody controls irritable school workers. There are teachers who are revengeful and who vent their anger on children. For example, when we get in front of the board they sometimes ridicule us.

In addition to this, children are overloaded with their subjects and they do not have enough time for themselves. They have too many things to learn about in school although they will not be needing them when they grow up. When they come home from school, they should be resting and playing with other children or going to park for a walk in the nature. Instead,they have to stay home and learn some boring stuff which they won't be needing them later.

I think that students should be given the right to express their opinion both about their subjects and their teachers. In my and in the opinion of many others , there should be a school reform, and it should be made after the model of schools in other countries such as France, England and many more where teachers behave professionally and students do project work.

Yours faithfully,
Nemanja Maksimovic
