Argument Writing Week 9 Term 3-Uniforms

For School Uniforms

• You won’t get judged everyday
• School uniforms show passion and respect
• It doesn't waste your time looking for your clothes in the morning
• It cuts down on alienation-bullying, teasing and cliques

I am strongly for school uniforms at Pt England School should stay for the reason that, it makes us look smart. School uniforms represent our school and we should agree on that! There is no stress having to worry about what to wear to school everyday. School uniforms will cut down on teasing, bullying and alienation - for the reason that, of what you wear. Students would not get their clothes ruined and it also saves money on buying new clothes everyday.

The first contention I will mention is about the money that people spent on new clothes! Parents hesitate about buying brand clothes for their kids while they can wear the same uniform everyday without going to the warehouse every time their kids ruin their clothes. I say that the best thing to wear at school is uniforms.

The second argument I will indicate is about how students disrespect their school by wearing the wrong clothes such as gangster-like clothes. Gangster clothes are a type of clothing that many youth wear. An example of these street clothes are wear baggy jeans, snapback hat, ripped shirt and common gangster jewelry.

Another point I will cover is that uniforms give students a sense of unity with other students for the reason that, they all wear the same clothes and representing the same school. If students wore uniforms at Pt England School every student would not have a sense of individuality for the reason that, all students would look equivalent.

Buoyed by the prospect of that, he gulped down the remnants of his coffee and flicked open his laptop. There was a flight leaving tonight (could he be so impetuous?) He had never been a risk taker, his carefully plotted career path had brought him to this point, he just had to preserve. The prospect of that was overwhelming. He could be free to explore endless new options. The cursor blinked on the ‘BUY NOW’ button. His finger hovered over ‘ENTER’ he sighed, closed his laptop and went back to work.

Excerpts from   StoryByte #16: Going Home   www.sharpreading.com

When the little girl open the door of her grandmother’s house, she saw that there was somebody in bed with a nightcap and night gown on. She had approached no nearer than twenty-five feet from the bed when she saw that it was not her grandmother but the wolf. So the little girl took an automatic pistol out of her basket and shot the wolf dead.

It cast a gloom over the boat, there been no mustard. We ate our beef in silence. Existence seemed hollow and uninteresting.   

Shark Finning Report

       NZ GOVERNMENT BANS

      SHARK FINNING

The New Zealand government has promoted that shark finning should be banned because sharks would be extinct from it’s viral home. By October 1st, the shark finning law will come into effect. Actually, the ban of shark finning was going to be planned in from October 1st, with full execution by October 2016. Although, Conservation Minister Nick Smith said, “The timetable had been brought forward after consultation with the fishing industry and the public. ”

Scientists are agitated at the rate of sharks being extinct from the oceans. 90 percent of the largest sharks have been swiped away with only 10 percent left. The endangered substances of these creatures could be very close to extinction. Riley Elliott is a PhD student at the University of Auckland and also a shark scientist. Riley Elliott Said, “In the past two decades, 90 percent of all sharks had been ‘wiped out’ by shark finning and exploitation in the absence of data ensuring sustainable harvests.”
