1.How popular are school uniforms in your country?
In China, every student needs to wear a school uniform, from primary school all the way to
the last year of high school. There might be some schools that don't require students to dress up,
but I believe they are quite rare. School uniforms are very simple. In secondary school, students
put on a dark blue jacket with a white shirt, and we have a sports uniform too
：
that is, a sports
sweater with the inscription "Xuexiao" on the back: it means "school" in Mandarin. To tell you the
truth, I think that the uniforms are quite boring, and far from stylish. In addition, when I was in
primary school, I had to wear a red scarf around my neck, because red is the national color.
2. Are uniforms a good thing because they make everyone appear equal?
Yes, I think so. That's one of the advantages of wearing a uniform. You can't tell the rich
students from those who don't have so much money. Well, actually, it only limits the differences,
but in fact you can still see if a student has money or not by the bag he or she carries, or the shoes
he or she wears
．
I think that. the biggest advantage of the uniform is that students don't waste time
in the morning picking the clothes they would like to wear. It reminds students they should focus
on their studies, and not so much on their appearance
．
3. What are the other purposes of uniforms?
Well, students can easily be recognized in the street. If they skip school
（ ＝
don't go to
school), or if they want to enter an Internet cafe (because in China students are not allowed to go
in), or if they do something bad, people can quickly spot them and intervene
（＝
take action)
．
I
think that, in addition, school uniforms help teachers to enforce discipline. People who wear a
uniform are more likely to listen and obey. Uniforms represent organization and
seriousness
．
Maybe students also feel like they are all similar, so it is easier for them to talk to
each other and socialize.
