Nowadays, more and more schools in China make rules making students wear school uniforms to school. Parents and teachers think it will create a better learning environment at school, but some students don’t like their school uniforms. So, what are school uniforms like in other parts of the world?

In Japan, boys in middle school wear uniforms called “ gakuran ”, which have dark jackets with stand-up collars(立領(lǐng)) and pants. Girls, on the other hand, wear uniforms called “sailor fuku”, which look like European naval(海軍的) uniforms.

Most schools in England require students to wear school uniforms. Boys need to wear long grey or black pants, white shirts and school ties. Girls have the same clothes as boys, but they can wear skirts or summer school dresses during the summer term.

In the UK, uniforms were the custom throughout most of the 20th century, but now more and more public schools stop requiring students to wear uniforms. They think uniforms make students lose their personalities.

For children in many African countries, school uniforms can be a kind of pride, or a huge financial burden(經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)). Many children have only one uniform, and that may be all the clothes they have.

In a word, love it or hate it, the school uniform is a part of growing up for children around the world, so you’d better enjoy your school uniform and your school life.

“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better,” Mason, a volunteer said.

National Volunteer Week is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect chance to encourage others to take their first step to become volunteers.

Making the decision to take the first step can be difficult, because people often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations. Some people are afraid of knowing nobody in the group. Not having enough time, the cost of traveling and training or being short of experience may also prevent someone from showing their abilities.

Here are some suggestions that can help you if you have some of these worries.

★Start out slowly. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.

★Choose an organization with the same interest.

★Work with an experienced volunteer. The person who volunteered a lot can help you understand the organization’s expectations.

★Invite a friend or family member to join you. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.

★Enjoy the volunteer experience and remember that not all results are perfect. Don’t give up and you’ll finally help someone.

Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives, as Mason discovered during his volunteer experience. Little things can change a person’s life for the better.”
