School Uniforms vs. Casual Clothes: Pros and Cons

Many children complain about wearing a uniform at school instead of casual clothes. Have you ever seen a school where children wear casual clothes? I have, but most of them are from the U.S.A or from movies. The advantages of wearing casual clothes are that you are more comfortable and you look nicer. Casual clothes are better to wear because it is not an extra expense since they are the same clothes you wear every day of the week, including summer. Wearing casual clothes should be an advantage for the school because it decreases the total amount of money that students have to pay every year. The disadvantages of wearing a uniform at school are that it is too expensive. Finally, as a conclusion,

Embarrassing Moment at the Supermarket

Classified in English

Written at on English with a size of 606 bytes.

In my whole life, I have lived lots of embarrassing moments, but I think the most shameful one happened when I was six years old. I went to the supermarket with my mum to buy some groceries for the week. At the beginning, nothing went wrong, but, when we were at the cash register, my mum realized that we had forgotten the milk, so I had to get back and grab it. When I went again to the cash register, I put the milk into the cart and I hugged a woman who seemed to be my mum. Suddenly, she started laughing at me and I realized she was not her. I had never felt so embarrassed in all my life!

Getting to Know My Cousin and Sister

My Cousin, Christopher

My cousin, Christopher, is the son of my father's brother. He's three years younger than me and we didn't know each other very well as children because he and his family lived on the other side of the country at that time. Since then, he's married and moved closer so we meet quite often and I've got to know him much better. There's nothing very remarkable about Chris's appearance. He's of average height and medium build, and he's got curly mousy hair and a fair complexion. As he's quite short-sighted like me, he wears glasses. The clothes he likes are mostly casual: jeans or shorts and a tee-shirt. I don't think I've ever seen him in a suit. He's a very active person who loves the outdoor life. He's extremely practical...

The Concert

Two years ago, I went to a concert by Iron Maiden in Madrid. I went with my dad, because I haven't got any friends who like heavy metal. It was the best night of my life. When I arrived, I went to a hotel and we left everything there. After that, we went to a rock bar to drink a beer. Suddenly, we went to the Wizink Center. There were many people. I left very impressed when the musicians got out to the stage. I heard the voice of Bruce Dickson and it was amazing. Finally, we went to the hotel to sleep, it was the night of my life.



My Happiest Moment

Two years ago, I was training, as I usually did and suddenly the coach told me 'keep going because in the next match they will come to scout you.' I was excited, because I had the opportunity

Henry VIII

Henry VIII

By 1525, Henry's wife, Catherine of Aragon, had borne only one child, a girl named Mary. Henry decided to have the marriage annulled, or declared invalid based on church laws.

The Pope would not give his consent for King Henry VIII to divorce Catherine of Aragon.

Therefore, in 1534 he broke with the Catholic Church and the Act of Supremacy was passed, under which he appointed himself head of the Church of England or Anglican Church.

In 1533, Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII were secretly married.

After Parliament had declared Henry's marriage to Catherine null and void, Anne gave birth to a girl, Elizabeth.
