School Uniform, Another Good Lesson
School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform
of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all,
Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning school uniforms.
Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct effect on
“substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect on
student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’.
Secondly, uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to
a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards,
which is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start
after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of
the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and
worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without
expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as
being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save them
money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools should implement
the uniform as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which makes
uniform compulsory for schools.

Cars Should Be Banned In The City

Cars should be banned in the city. As we all know, cars create pollution, and cause a lot
of road deaths and other accidents.
Firstly cars, as we all know, contribute to all most of the population in the world.
Cars emit deadly gas that causes illness such as bronchitis, lung cancer and ‘triggers’ of
asthma. Some of these illnesses are so bad that people can die from them.
Secondly, the city is very busy. Pedestrians wander everywhere and cars commonly hit
pedestrians in the city, which causes them to die. Cars today are our roads biggest killers.

The importance of Reading

by reading we can get a lot of knowledge about many things in the world such as Science,
technology. Sports, arts, culture, books, magazine, newspaper,etc.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in
any parts of the world which can we see directly.
Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are tired, we read books, newspaper
or magazine on the entertainment columns such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us
relaxed.

we may feel we’re really sitting in the jungles not at home in our rooms.
