Answer B:
My school makes students wear uniforms. We buy the uniform that the school supplies. Most
schools in South Korea have the policy of wearing uniforms. Our uniform usually consists of
a white shirt, black blazer and tie. I wear a long, black skirt, too. The uniform makes us
distinguishable among other people. It gives us identification. It also provides us safety. Students
who are not in their uniforms are not allowed to enter the school premises. However, I feel a little
uncomfortable in a uniform because it is too tight. I also think it looks a bit old-fashioned.

Points to emphasize in answering:

Provide information about what you wear by:
- Telling what type you wear
- Telling where you usually wear it
[example: My school makes students like me to wear uniforms.]

Tell the distinguishing marks about the type of clothing by providing:
- what consists the clothing
[example: The uniform usually consists of a shirt, blazer and tie.]
- details that describe the clothing
[example: a long, black skirt]

Share some good and bad points in wearing the type of clothing.
