The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
 I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

School Uniform, Another Good Lesson

School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform
of a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning
school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no direct
effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a negative effect
on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’.
Strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As such it
promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which is why a uniform is often
adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after being classified as failing.
Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students are equal in the eyes of
the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students are often competitive and
worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should wear. Pupils without expensive
designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social outcasts, or stigmatized as being from
poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents prefer uniforms as they save them money on
buying clothes for school wear. Considering the findings, schools should implement the uniform
as their identity. The government should also publish some kind of rule which makes uniform
compulsory for schools.
34. What is the text about?
a. The school rules
b. The school identity
c. What we should wear at school
