1 . I’m Jill and I’m a student of the Huaxin Middle School. There are many rules at my school and at my home, I must follow them. I think some of them are good, but others are not so good and they are too strict.

We have to wear our school uniforms. I think it’s good. If we don’t have this rule, some students will wear expensive clothes. They will think more about clothes, but not study. We have to keep our hair short. We can’t be late for school and we have to keep quiet in class. These rules are good for my study and I like them. At my home, I have to finish my homework first, I must clean my room on weekends.

We can’t take mobile phones to school. I don’t think it’s a good idea. Sometimes our parents are busy and can’t get home on time. They need to tell us about that. If we don’t take phones, how can they tell us? Also, we can’t go to the movies on weekends. At home, I have to read a book for 30 minutes before I can watch TV. I can’t go out to meet my friends on weekends. I think they are not good. I know we should study hard, but we need to relax, too.
