Unit 1 The Real You: Part 1

​Reading Comprehension: The Real You

Judging by Appearance-What to Wear: Paragraph 1

We shouldn't judge a person by their appearance but we do. In fact, the experts say that when we meet someone for the first time we make a decision about what that person is like in three seconds. But what do we look at? One of the most important things is clothes, but it isn't the brand of clothes that people wear that is important. The important thing is to wear the right clothes for the occasion.

​Unit 1: The Real You-Judging by Appearance

• Uniform​s

​

​Judging by Appearance-What to Wear: Paragraph 2

Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform. Schools where uniforms are not compulsory often give their students a dress code to follow. Why? A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are part of their school and that their uniform helps them to be serious about their studies. Teachers say that uniforms can help in other ways too. If all the students wear one, they can't judge each other because of their clothes. They don't know if other students are from rich or poor families. It also avoids arguments about who, or what, is fashionable.
