IELTS WRITING TASK 2
Some people think that uniform at school is unnecessary and should be banned. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give your opinion and examples from your own experience.
SAMPLE ANSWER
Schools uniforms are mandatory in most of the schools, but some students dislike wearing uniforms. Therefore some people opine that uniform should not be there in schools. I, however, oppose such a notion. I firmly believe that uniforms should be compulsory in schools.
To begin with, uniforms give a sense of identity to the school. It instills a sense of discipline in school children. The students feel that they belong to the school. Every student of the school feels like part of a bigger group. Secondly, uniform is a social leveler, where pupils are drawn from a wide cross-section of society. A uniform finishes these differences and thus reduces the gap between the rich and the poor. The teachers also tend to treat all students equally when they are in the same uniform.
Another big advantage is that if students play truant and bunk school, they can be easily identified. Finally, the uniform provides security. For example, if some miscreants come in the school, they can be easily spotted from afar. Even on school excursions, it is easier for the teachers to manage if all students are in same uniform.
There are people who oppose having a school uniform. They say that uniform is unattractive and old fashioned. They believe that students can express themselves better through their clothes and should be given the chance to show their individuality. Wearing a uniform creates an opposite effect. I still believe that if schools started running without a school uniform, there would be utter chaos in the classrooms.
To sum up, school uniform should be retained in all circumstances. Students should not be given the liberty to wear clothes of their own choice. Uniforms can be modernized and changed according to circumstances but a uniform is a critical aspect of education.
