Lots of people believe that school uniforms are not necessary and students
should be able to wear what they like to school. I don't agree disagree with this
view. I feel that school uniforms is are very important in a number of ways, I feel.
To start with, I think school uniforms are giving give students a sense of
identity. Wearing the same clothes as everyone else introduces a sense of
belonging. Without it, those students would lose some of their unity and the
student body would break out up into small groups related to what clothes they
wear.
There is and What is more, wearing the same clothes breaks down the
barriers between children from different economic backgrounds. It's It is difficult
to tell who comes from a rich or a poor family when everyone is dressing dresses
the same.
On the other hand, some people feel that a uniform limits personal freedom
to express yourself through the image you present to others. Nevertheless, many
schools have a choice of uniforms, so teenagers can still express themselves in a
small way.
All in all, I, am strongly in favour of school uniforms. I believe they play a
valuable part in school life.

English is widely spoken and taught in over 118 countries and is commonly
used around the world. It is the language of international communication, the
media and the Internet. Many people believe, that English is the most spoken
foreign language in the world. It is used almost in all spheres of our life. And
totally agree with this statement.
First of all, English is currently the language of the internet. An estimated of
565 million people use the internet every day and about 52% of the world’s most
visited websites are displayed in English. A lot of information on the Internet is
published in English. Almost all the newest articles, news, films are in English
until they are translated. By understanding English, you won’t need to rely on
translations and subtitles anymore. By accessing these media, you will also
continuously improve your English listening and reading skills. If you understand
English, you will be able to exchange information with more people online.
Secondly, since English is spoken as a first language in 53 countries and as a
second language in over 118 countries, learning the language makes it much easier
to travel anywhere. Knowing English unlocks the world, you can travel easily to
different parts of the world. It gives an opportunity to communicate with people all
over the world because English is an international language. If you go abroad, you
have to speak or at least understand this foreign language as it is the most
widespread throughout the world. When travelling to a country where you don’t
speak the language, you are practically guaranteed to find someone who
understands English.
What is more, knowledge of English gives us an opportunity to study in a
prestigious university abroad, get a well-paid job or go to study abroad with any
exchange program. Good knowledge of English is always a good addition to any
job.
All in all, it is impossible to do anything without English because of
expanding of economic, scientific and cultural relations of Ukraine with other
countries. So nowadays, to be a well-educated person, you have to know English at
least on an elementary level.
