4 . 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.     1     One of the most important things we look at 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 right places.

Schools have always understood this and a lot of them ask their students to wear a uniform. Why? A lot of teachers think a uniform makes students feel that they are part of their school and that their form helps them to be serious about their studies.     2     If all the students wear uniforms, they can’t judge each other because of their clothes. It also stops gossips about who or what is fashionable.

    3     We all have fixed ideas about what the people in a certain job should wear. If we visit a doctor, we hope to see respectable clothes under the doctor’s white coat.     4     Police officers wear uniforms to make themselves easily identifiable to non-police officers. In fact, a lot of companies have dress codes for their staff because they know that the customers hope to see them dressed in certain types of clothes.

But can our clothes really tell people what we are like?     5     When people see us in the right clothes, they think we are serious about what we are doing. Furthermore, if we are clean, smart and polite, people will believe us a lot.

A．Maybe not, but they can show our attitude to what we are doing at the moment.

B．Some of the teachers hold different opinions.

C．But what do we look at?

D．Teachers say that uniforms can help in other ways too.

E．Our clothes stand for our attitude.

F．However, it is not only schools that want people to dress in a certain way.

G．When we go into a bank we expect the staff to wear suits or dresses.
