PART D_7
Now, we’ll read the sample answer. Please repeat after me.
PART D_8
I agree that schools should not have school uniforms. I have several reasons for this.
First, students will not be able to show their individuality while wearing school uniforms. Choosing their clothes is one way to express themselves, and there are some students who don’t want to wear skirts or pants.
Second, school uniforms cannot be washed every day. It is not clean if you keep wearing the same clothes. In addition, you have to take them to the dry cleaners and pay for them to be washed.
So I think schools should not have school uniforms.

PART D_14
I disagree that schools should not have school uniforms.
The first reason is that school uniforms can reduce the time for choosing clothes in the morning. They don’t need to worry about what they wear every day.
Another reason is that school uniforms can increase student safety. People can recognize young people as students by seeing their school uniforms. Neighbours can keep watch over them for any risks.
So, I think schools should have school uniforms.
