Topics 7-8 (School you study in, School Uniform)

Topic  7 Are you proud of the school you study in? What subjects do you learn? What extra-curricular activities do you take part in? 

Well, I am awfully proud of the school I study in. There are a number of reasons for that. First of all, our gymnasium is one of the best schools in our city and the region as well as it has nearly everything to provide
the pupils with the best quality secondary education. Our classrooms are well-equipped. There are computers, video and audio materials allowing us to study productively and with willingness. Another reason is our teachers who are creative and highly qualified. Besides, our school has got a good library with plenty of student's books and fiction and reference books, magazines and other materials. In our school we learn a number of subjects which are various. They are Maths, Literature, History, Geography, Biology, the Russian Language, the English language, the French language and the German language, Chemistry, Physics, Social Studies, Computer skills or Information Technology, Handicrafts and Physical Education. Besides, we are taught Arts and Music. In addition to compulsory subjects which are on our time-table, we take part in various extra-curricular activities, such as Music group and Our School Parliament.
Every year different contests and competitions, festivals and concerts are held. Such activities help the students to express their personality, to socialize and acquire some practical skills, such as the ability to perform, to speak publicly, to develop interaction and cooperation.
Personally I have joint our school parliament and attend the sports club. I take part in various after-classes activities, go on outings, sing and play the guitar.


Topic  8 Pros and Cons of Wearing a School Uniform. Express Your Opinion. 

Well, there are different opinions on the problem of wearing or not a school uniform. Should it be compulsory for students to wear a school uniform? Those who are for this rule think that school uniform , first of all, organizes and disciplines pupils. They strongly believe that wearing other different clothes distracts pupils from their studies. Besides, there are children from low-income families who don't feel comfortable when they know they can't afford to wear fashionable clothes. Another strong argument for wearing a school uniform is that having one set of clothes allows us a lot of free time, you see, we don't have to spend countless hours looking for something to wear.
Of course, there are those who oppose wearing a school uniform. They think that a uniform prevents them from expressing themselves and showing their personality through clothing. Also, some children say that they don't feel comfortable in uniforms. For example, they don't like the look or the cut. As for our gymnasium, we have to wear clothes of an office style. The range of colours is restricted to white, light blue, grey, black, brown. Tops and shorts are forbidden. In conclusion, I'd like to express my own opinion about wearing a school uniform. I think that uniforms are important for displaying unity and give children a sense of loyalty to their school. I believe school uniforms introduce a feeling of belonging to one community.
