Seat Belts

Nowadays, the police have been applying the new regulation concerning the use of seat belts.
In European countries, this regulation has been applied for a long time. However, this new
regulation has become controversial and is an interesting topic to discuss. Here are some of
the arguments.

The use of seat belts has been proven to reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident. Seat
belt has become a standard component in cars. The research shows that most car accident will
cause an injury to the head. Frequently, drivers or the passengers driving without seat belts
die because of this. By wearing the seat belts, the injury will not happen since belts restrain
our body on the car seat when the accident happens.

Unfortunately, many cars, especially the old ones, don’t have seat belts. This is because the
traffic conditions in the past were unlike the recent traffic conditions. The designer of old cars
didn’t consider a seat belt as an important part. Besides, the drivers wearing the seat belt will
think that they are completely safe, so they may drive carelessly. They are safe, indeed, but
how about safety of others?

The seat belt is only one of the ways to reduce the risk of car accidents. It doesn’t mean that
we are completely safe. In short, our safety depends on ourselves.

1. Which one is true according to paragraph 3?


(A) old cars do not use seat belts
(B) the old cars have seat belts for their safety
(C) the drivers wearing seat belts may drive carefully
(D) the traffic conditions in the past were similar to the recent
(E) the old cars’ designer considered a seat belt as an important part

2. What is the function of seat belts?


(A) to reduce the traffic conditions
(B) to become a standard component in cars
(C) to reduce the risk of injury or death in an accident
(D) to prevent the drivers driving cars carefully
(E) to increase the risk of injury in car accidents

3. Who considered a seat belt as an unimportant part?


(A) police
(B) people
(C) drivers
(D) passengers
(E) old cars designers

4. “… that they are completely safe.” (Paragraph 3)


What does the word ‘they’ refer to?
(A) cars
(B) seat belts
(C) drivers
(D) designers
(E) others

School Uniform, Another Good Lesson
School uniform is special clothes worn by all students of a particular school. The uniform of
a school may differ from others. Why should schools use uniforms? Below are some reasons.
First of all, Notre Dame’s Department of Sociology produced a study in 1998 concerning
school uniforms. Their findings using 10th grade students showed that uniforms have no
direct effect on “substance abuse, behavioral problems or attendance.” It also claimed a
negative effect on student achievements for those students considered ‘pro-school’. Secondly,
uniform helps to create a strong sense school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular
community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards, which
is why a uniform is often adopted by schools which are being reopened with a fresh start after
being classified as failing. Finally, uniform acts as a social leveler, under which all students
are equal in the eyes of the school and of each other. In institutions without uniform students
are often competitive and worry endlessly about their appearance and the clothes they should
wear. Pupils without expensive designer clothes and trainers may be singled out as social
outcasts, or stigmatized as being from poor backgrounds. For these reasons many parents
prefer uniforms as they save them money on buying clothes for school wear. Considering the
findings, schools should implement the uniform as their identity. The government should also
publish some kind of rule which makes uniform compulsory for schools.

a. The school rules d. The importance of school uniform
