School Uniforms
There are many reasons to have school uniforms. One reason is to decrease theft. In some schools, people steal expensive clothing. Students do not think about their expensive sneakers when they wear uniforms. A second reason is discipline. Principals and teachers think students pay better attention when they wear uniforms. A third reason is safety. A security guard can easily see a stranger in the school. Another reason is for school spirit. When all of the students are wearing uniforms, the students feel part of a group. Finally, for students who don’t have much money, uniforms are cheap.
Many students don’t like school uniforms. They want to decide what to wear to school.
Do students wear uniforms to school in your country? Do your children wear uniforms to school here in Chicago? Do you think uniforms are a good idea? Why or why not?

My Favorite Food
My favorite kind of food is Indian food. The food from India is delicious, and many of the dishes are vegetarian (they don’t have any meat, only vegetables). I don’t eat meat, so Indian food is the perfect food for me. I love to eat the curry dishes. Curry dishes have different kinds of vegetables like potatoes and peas. The vegetables are cooked in a spicy sauce. Curry is very hot and spicy, and it is cooked with many chili peppers. I like to eat curry with rice or with the special Indian bread called Naan. It is flat bread cooked with butter. I also like the drink Mango Lassi. Mango Lassi is a drink made from yogurt and mango fruit. It is delicious, especially on a hot day. I don't know how to cook Indian food, so I like to go to Indian restaurants.
