School uniformшкольная формаschool uniform is an integral part of school life in many countries. most schools in russia also require school uniforms. however, some school accept freestyle outfit. there are different opinions on how the standard school forms should look like. some schools have dark blue uniforms, while others use dark red or dark green colours. some schools in russia accept white shirts and black skirts for girls and black trousers for boys. nevertheless, all these school uniforms have something in common. they all look rather smart and strict. children’s opinions on school uniform differ. some say they like wearing it, while others prefer to wear a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. in my opinion, the school uniform has both advantages and disadvantages. first of all when children wear a school uniform, they realize that they are at school not at a swimming-pool or stadium. it adjusts them to school atmosphere and helps to study harder. secondly, school uniforms prevent social inequality. it means that both rich and poor children wear the same clothes. furthermore, children don’t have such problem as what to wear in the morning. the disadvantages of school uniform include the loss of individuality. everyone becomes alike and children look similar. the second problem may be untidiness. as children wear the same clothes every day their uniform starts to look a bit untidy and faded. last but not the least school uniforms have become rather expensive lately. so, not every parent wants to buy it. as for me, i support the idea of wearing a school uniform. i think that at home we can put on what we want, but at school we need to follow the rules.школьная форма является неотъемлемой частью школьной жизни во многих странах. большинство школ в россии также требуют школьную форму. тем не менее, некоторые школы принимают свободную форму. существуют различные мнения о том, как стандартные школьные формы школе должны выглядеть. некоторые школы имеют темно синюю форму, в то время как другие используют темно-красный или темно-зеленый цвета. некоторые школы в россии принимают белые рубашки и черные юбки для девочек, черные брюки для мальчиков. тем не менее, у всех этих школьных форм есть нечто общее. все они выглядят довольно изящно и строго. мнения детей о школьной форме расходятся. некоторые говорят, что им нравится носить её, а другие предпочитают носить джинсы и футболку. на мой взгляд, школьная форма имеет свои преимущества и недостатки. прежде всего, когда дети носят школьную форму, они понимают, что они находятся в школе, а не на бассейне или на стадионе. это настраивает на школьный лад и учиться лучше. во-вторых, школьные формы предотвращают социальное неравенство. это означает, что и богатые, и бедные дети носят одинаковую одежду. помимо этого, у детей не возникает такой проблемы, как, что же надеть утром. к недостаткам школьной формы относится потеря индивидуальности. все становятся похожи, и дети выглядят одинаково. второй проблемой может быть неряшливости. так как дети носят одну и ту же одежду каждый день, их форма начинает выглядеть немного неопрятно и тускло. последнее, но немаловажное, школьные формы стали довольно дорогими в последнее время. поэтому, не каждый родитель хочет покупать её. что касается меня, я поддерживаю идею ношения школьной формы. я думаю, что у себя дома мы можем надевать все, что захотим, но в школе мы должны следовать правилам.
