In Libya, between the age of 12 and 18 girls and boys are separated not only into different classes but they study in different schools. Therefore we have feminine schools and masculine schools. Although thois is not applied to private schools, because the number of students in not large enough to be separated into different schools, we still have single sex private schools and those are much more succesful than mixed -sex institutions.
argue the opponents of same-sex schools, this is true but they are going to be older, more mature and prepared to interact with the opposite sex classmate.
Another group of opponents claim that we should get rid of these old traditions and raise the new generation in the modern style to become an open minded nation. This is partially true but if we do so we will lose our identity and because we are an islamic country we should control the behavior of teenagers at this critical stage.
In addition, researches show that the graduates of mixed schools always get lower results compared to the students who study in all-boy or all-girl schools because they pay less attention to the teachers and work less in classes because they are distracted by the opposite sex classmate; how do they look and what are they doing?. While in one sex classes boys focus more on learning and girls are less embarrassed.
In conclusion, same sex schools provide students with the suitable environment to learn and concentrate on their study. Furthermore they follow the religion and protect them and their feelings until they become mature. Finally, in my opinion if I was a mother of a teenager I would rather chose him the separate classes.

New places

I have just finished the second chapter, but I feel that I am very slow due to the huge amount of new vocabularies and places I have never heard about them.

I sat in the hotel lounge and nervously looked at my watch. It was half past three, and my friends should have arrived at two O'clock; this means that he is one and half hour late. Because he is a very punctual person, I was afraid that something bad had happened to him. I was worried also because I was going to be interviewed by the chief executive of the company where I had applied for a job. Finally my telephone rang; it was my friend's number, I answered quickly, his voice was bumbling and he said that he had had an accident and asked me to take a taxi because he was at the police station.
The reception ordered me a taxi, but it took about twenty minutes to arrive at the hotel. When I got into the taxi I asked him to increase his speed but he refused because if he had done so, he would have gotten a fine. I started sweating because I was going to lose my new job. when I arrived at the company I found that the executive manager couldn't come because he had had an accident. In fact he was the one who my friend had the accident with.
