READ

It is a great pleasure to be here today.

Thank you for coming.

I’m John Clarren from Southern State University.

The subject of my presentation is about wearing of school uniforms.

Let’s begin the presentation.

The graph deals with the number of students who wear school uniforms.

According to the data, 80% percent of students wear school uniforms. While the remaining 20% wear smart casual clothes because of the following reasons. First, the prescribed uniforms are expensive. Second, some students feel uncomfortable with the uniform. Lastly, some teachers allow students to attend their classes even without wearing the prescribed uniforms.

To summarize the presentation, I’d like to mention that not all students wear the prescribed school uniforms. One of the main reasons why they do not wear school uniforms is because the school does not have a policy that prohibits them to wear casual clothes.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

To conclude this presentation, we should implement a policy on wearing of school uniforms.

We’ve covered each item on the agenda. That will be all for today.
