I’m gonna give a talk about a rule what I don’t like. I guess the most common of norms I have at school. So my most hateful one is a school form. As most of other schools, mine also have some strict demands for student clothes. For example, I have to be clothed in dark blue form. More other, I’m allowed to wear only permitted models of trousers, skirts and shirts. Like it’s a bright and stylish clothes, I can’t put on them because of this rule. I think it disturbs students show their individuality. We get used to be like everyone. More other, as a girl I know how can be important to show a figure from the best side. And mostly, the school form doesn’t design for an exhibition of female students’ feature. Of course, there are some students who like this rule. For example, boys. Usually male students don’t follow fashion, so it doesn’t matter what wear. Generally, other girls agree with me they wanna wear fashionable clothes to show their beauty, character and mood. Not needing problems, I always follow this rule. But I know for breakers, school administration has some fines. For example, don’t let into visit lessons for certain period, what depends on how many the rule was broken.

I'm going to give a talk about a rule that I don't like. I guess the most common norm I have at school is the school uniform. Like most other schools, mine also has strict demands for student clothing. For example, I have to wear a dark blue uniform. Moreover, I'm allowed to wear only permitted styles of trousers, skirts, and shirts. While they may be bright and stylish clothes, I can't wear them because of this rule. I think it prevents students from showing their individuality. We get used to being like everyone else. Additionally, as a girl, I know how important it can be to present oneself in the best light. Mostly, the school uniform isn't designed to showcase female students' features. Of course, there are some students who like this rule. For example, boys. Usually, male students don't follow fashion, so it doesn't matter what they wear. Generally, other girls agree with me; they want to wear fashionable clothes to express their beauty, character, and mood. Without causing problems, I always follow this rule. However, I know that for rule-breakers, the school administration has some penalties. For example, they may not be allowed to attend lessons for a certain period, depending on how many times the rule was broken.
