Question

Sometimes I play football after school for our school team. Last week we played a match and I scored two goals. My parents watched the match and afterwards, we went to a restaurant. Next year I am not going to have much time because of my homework. I will sit my exams in June.

Question

I like the colour of my school uniform – it is navy and is quite smart looking. I wear a navy skirt and jumper as well as a navy blazer with the school motto. My tie is also navy with silver and black stripes, and I wear a white shirt and navy tights in winter or navy socks in summer.

Question

I hate wearing a school uniform, but I understand they have many advantages. The main advantage is that everybody looks the same and children don’t put pressure on their parents to buy the latest clothes and designer trainers. Also, you don’t have to think about what to wear every day, and plan outfits. The disadvantages are that pupils don’t get to express themselves and their individuality.
