STRATEGIES 7 P Point Students at our school wouldn’t want to wear a school uniform like students in England do. E Evidence or Example School uniforms look totally boring. They mostly consist of dark blue skirts or trousers and white blouses or shirts. Everyone looks the same. E Explanation I think it’s awful if everyone looks the same. We are all different from one another and we want to wear what we like and what really suits us. L Link Therefore, I believe school uniforms wouldn’t be popular at our school. P Point I think school uniforms help to bridge the gap1 between rich and poor students. E Evidence or Example Lots of schools in England require their students to wear school uniforms. Everyone wears the same, no matter how rich or poor they are. E Explanation At our school some people show off their expensive designer clothes. They let others know how much money they are able to spend on clothes. It’s unfair. L Link This is why I think school uniforms are a great idea. What rules are important at your school?
