Sample Test, Section H: Answer

     Schools should have uniforms. Uniforms make schools safer, reduce the "in" competitions,
and give a professional look to students.
    Uniforms make it easy to identify students and non-students. In a uniformed school, whenever
a teacher sees someone out of uniform, they can immediately approach the person and direct
them to the appropriate location. Intruders can be sent out of the school or charged with
trespassing, thus reducing the opportunities for drugs or weapons to enter the school.
     Uniforms also benefit schools because they give students a positive and professional image.
When members of the community pass the school, they are greeted with images of cleanliness and
professionalism.
    Uniforms also minimize economic comparisons. When students wear the same thing, no one can
be centered out because he/she can't afford Billabong. Furthermore, when students wear uniforms,
they can only be judged on their intelligence and personality.
    In conclusion, professionalism, safety and acceptance are all improved in a uniformed
school. Uniforms should be mandatory in Ontario schools.
 
Comments: This Series of Paragraphs is well written. It flows well from introduction to conclusion.
The writer's point of view is backed up with three supporting arguments (identify intruders/safety,.
economic status comparison, professionalism)
