Changing our clothes
Do you have to wear a school uniform every day? Do you enjoy wearing it? Some Australian students are trying to change their school’s dress code (着装规定).
Schoolgirls at Presbyterian Ladies’ College in Sydney can’t wear pants. They have to wear a knee-length (及膝的) tartan skirt (格子裙) or dress. It’s one of the school’s oldest traditions, dating back 100 years. But the girls want to change this strict rule.
They asked the school to add pants as another choice for their uniforms. “We should choose to wear whichever bottoms (下装) we want,” they wrote in a petition (请愿书) on change.org.
Some students think that girls have been held back from taking part in sports and outdoor activities because they have to wear dresses and skirts. “This kind of clothing is impractical (不实用的) in daily life and girls should feel comfortable when coming to school,” said one student who signed the petition.
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian said she understood their situation. “Young girls should be able to show their views. Speaking up on what you feel strongly about is how you make changes,” she said. The school is now discussing this matter.
Design your own uniform
Work with someone to design (设计) a school uniform. Make sure that you and your classmates will all enjoy wearing it. It should be practical, comfortable, and suitable for both sexes. It should also look nice and represent (代表) your school.
