Uniforms

A uniform is worn by a group of people who belongs to an organization or company. It is a tradition that students wear uniforms to school in Taiwan. Today many high school students debate about whether they should wear uniforms to school or not. Some think it’s unnecessary, others think it’s obsolete, and still others think it does allow student to express their uniqueness and individuality. I support that high school students should be required to wear uniforms. Not only does wearing uniforms give people good images, but it keeps some unnecessary distractions away. Moreover, it is more affordable for parents.
First, wearing uniforms gives people good images. It’s said that ninety-nine percent people judge a person by his clothing and appearance at first sight. Wearing uniforms can show tidiness and discipline of the students. It sets an example of the school and represents the students’ identity and respect to the school. Hence, that’s one of the reason that I refute that wearing cannot represent students’ individuality and uniqueness. At this age, students spend most of time in school with their peers, and it’s just the beginning that they research for self-identity. Accordingly, it is not the right time for them to show their uniqueness. Showing the uniqueness makes them alien to their peers, or this kind of self-expression leads to the formation of cliques in the school environment. In addition, students come from different families. We hope that teachers can treat them equally instead of judging them by appearances and clothing.
Second, uniforms can keep students out of some unnecessary distraction. For instance, wearing uniforms makes students focus on their studies instead of on fashion. Students go to school mainly for studying instead of showing their uniqueness and individuality. I think they can save the time of choosing the fashionable clothes. At this age, students are not old enough to judge whether values toward money are right or not. They maybe blindly follow the latest trend and ignore their studies when they suffer the pressure from their peers. Once students cannot deal with such pressure, they will choose to steal money to buy clothes or to do other illegal things. To make such things simple, unifying students’ clothes may be a good solution.
Third, uniforms are more affordable to parents. Good quality uniforms may be a little expensive can hold up for one to three years. Moreover, it can be worn no matter what weather it is. There is no pressure for poor students who cannot afford nice and famous brand clothes. The chance to be ridiculed by others for the way they dress will be reduced. On the other hand, parents do not have to buy the fashionable but expensive clothes all the time for their children, and children will not ask their parents for fashionable clothes which their peers wear. For parents and students, wearing uniforms is more economical.
In sum, wearing uniforms makes others have good impression. Moreover, it prevents some unnecessary distractions to students. For example, students can concentrate on their studies instead of on fashion. In the other hand, it saves parents money. Given the three reasons, I strongly agree that high school students should be required to wear uniforms.

Big meal

Last Wednesday, I had Mos burgar in our campus for dinner with some classmates to celebrate Jessica's birthday. It's a rainning day. This is the first time I had Mos burgar. It's delicious but I kept burping after I went home and the smell out of my mouth is bad. I guessed the reason is that I had a large cup of coke.
Today my club friends and I went to a all-you-can-eat hot pot restauroom. I started to eat until one o'clock and I was very hungry. I spent two hunderd and thirty NT dollar because it is a big meal. Therefore, I planned not to have dinner.
This week I am going to have two big meals because some senior will graduate this semester.

Busy Month

June is a busy month for collage students because this semester is ending. I am busy in preparing two term papers and one prsentation. I was under pressure and term papers make me upset. This time I choosed to introduce Pixar's animated films as the topicc of the English-News class prsentation. I have saw most of films, which are funny and full of creativity. I choose to show the story of Wall-E. It is truely a two robots' love story. However, it brings some idea about recycling. We should love the earth and reduce the amount of garbage. The leading actor, Wall-E, who only says Eva during this film. It's very interesting that the robots shows the humanity. They fall in love. I love this film and it really touched me.

A Happy Week


This is week is a happy week because we only had classes for three days. I enjoy the se days that I don't have class. The intructor asked us to listen to a lecture for the English literature class on the Monday morning , but I didn't go. I stayed home and read a book which I want.In the Tuesday, the instructor treated us pizza and we watched a movie called The Other Boleyn Girl. It is an story about the love between Henry the eight and two sisters. I recognized one of the sisters who acts Mary is Scarlett Johanson. The plot is great and the story reflects the differet personalities of two sisters. One is kind and considerate, and the other one is ambitious. I couldn't judge who is right or wrong, because every one just thinks about her benefit. I went home on Thuresday afternoon, and I ate rice dumpling for my lunch. I accompanied my family for the dragon-boat festival. I went back to Taichung this afternoon. Sophie took her sister's dog, DoDo to my house. We chatted and ''played'' with DoDo. She said he's a stupid dog but I think he's really cute.

Misery loves company

I takes the title too far. I just want to say that I got cold after the period. I felt that my body becomes weak than before because I felt sluggish when I was sick. What's more, I also felt sluggish when I had cramps recently. I had a terrible sore throat last night. I got a cold. I went to see the doctor after class.

free writing

I agree partly with Strick's opinion. We need some leisure time to relax ourselves. Every one has limited time so it hard for people to be good at doing every thing. We can be the expert on some field but we can't expect to be expert on every field. For example...

Mother's Day

I went home yesterday. I helped my mom worship the god, burn the money paper and throw the garbage. After the dinner, my parents and I took a walk at the playground. We watched TV at night as usual. Mom said there is a new-opened supermarket and she wanted to take me to go there. We looked around there. Today is Mother's Day, I accompanied my mom to go hiking for one hour in the morning. Mom, my brothers and I had a lunch in a restaurant. It's really special for my family, because we seldom eat outside. The restaurant is famous for stake and all-you-can-eat salad buffet. There are so many people in the restaurant today. We waited for a while. We were all full but my mom still wanted to eat more. I kept said no to my mom because I can't eat any more. I am happy today. I enjoyed having meal with my family in the restaurants. It's pity that my dad didn't join us due to his job.
