he other day, my friends and talked about the
rules that we have in school. At our school, we
have to wear uniforms every day. The problem
is that all my classmates think the uniforms are
ugly. We think young people should look smart
and so we would like to wear our own clothes.
Our teachers believe that if we did that, we would
concentrate more on our clothes than our studies.
We disagree. We
would feel more comfortable
concentrate
... on,专注于某事
and that is good for studying. If we can’t do that,
we should be allowed to design our own uniforms.
That would be a good way to keep both teachers
and students happy.
It’s also probably a good idea for parents to
allow teenagers to study in groups during the
evening. I know we get noisy sometimes, but we
learn a lot from each other. We also think that
vacations should be longer. At present they’re too
short. Longer at
