SCHOOL

School uniforms are different for every school and are different colours. Boys usually wear
dark trousers and girls usually wear skirts. Both boys and girls wear a light-coloured shirt,
sometimes a jacket and a tie in the school’s colours.

In Europe, the country with the most schools where students wear uniforms is the UK. In the
USA, students didn’t use to wear uniforms. But in the 1990s many schools asked their students
to start wearing them. This wasn’t very popular with students. But many people say that
uniforms help students feel part of a team and be proud of their school. What do you think?
