Should we wear school uniform?
Is school uniform a good thing?
In some ways it is. It is very smart and it means that all the children are the same, and are equal in the way they dress. Children and their parents do not have to spend money on expensive or fashionable clothes to wear to school.
On the other hand, there are some bad points wearing school uniform. If a child’s parents are very poor, they may not be able to pay for the correct uniform. Besides, there are people who say that uniforms stop children from thinking for themselves. Children might ask, why should they have to wear uniforms when most adults can wear whatever they like?
What do you think?
Children, do you like wearing your uniform? Do you think it is good to wear uniform to school? Why? Why not? If you have many ideas or suggestions about this, you can probably write a discussion like the above writing.
The above shows a piece of discussion. A discussion is used to present arguments for or against an issue. In other words, you write down the good points or bad points about the topic. Honestly, you may find difficulties in this type of writing. The main reason is that it is difficult for you to think up the ideas.
In order to start writing a discussion, you can start a topic that you are familiar with, just like the above example ‘school uniform’. Before writing, you need to think up all the ideas and try to organize them first. While writing, remember to use present tense. After writing, it is better for you to check it once again. Check if you can understand your ideas or not; if the ideas presented clearly; if there are any grammatical or spelling mistakes?
Now, you can try to think up a topic you like first. For example, ‘Is computer games good for children?’ ‘Is it good to join activities after school?’ ‘Is it useful to study with a tutor?'
