V/ READING THE PASSAGE AND THEN GIVE THE ANSER TRUE/ FALSE (1m)
In many secondary schools in Britain the wearing of school uniform is compulsory . Some schools argue that there

are many disadvantages to this system .Most students don’t agree with school uniform , however , for a number of


reasons . Firstly when you have to wear the same clothes as everyone else you don’t have a chance to develop personal
taste in way you dress . Moreover , people who look scruffy usually look scruffy in their uniforms too and you can
always tell the people who come from poor homes because their uniforms are not as new or don’t fit properly . Lastly
the main reason why most students don’t like school uniforms is because most schools choose such horrible colors and
styles that don’t suit young people at all. (scruffy :bê bối)
1- The wearing uniform is compulsory in many schools in England
2- All of schools think that there are disadvantages when students
wear uniforms at school.
3- People who look scruffy because they don’t come from the rich.
