Easter

How do you celebrate Easter in your country?  Write your schedule on Easter (in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening).  Where do you go?  Who do you see?  What do you eat?

A Busy Street

Look at the picture.  Where is this?  What are the people doing?

My favorite room is the bedroom. There is a big comfortable bed. There is a medium-sized TV in front of my bed. There is a computer next to my bed. There is a night table next to the door. My family and I like to spend time watching TV together on the bed.

School Uniforms

In the past, only students in private and religious schools wore uniforms to school. Today, many states are changing. Many public schools require students to wear uniforms to school. Some people like uniforms, but others don’t.

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?
