My opinion

is that secondary school

casual clothes make students

feel comfortable because they

don't Jeel cvnstrained to

mar uniforms that they

don't like.

Secondly, wearing casual clothes

gives students

freedom of choice They

have rights

to choose size, colors

and fashions

of clothes that

they love Thirdly, casual

clothes make students feel

self-confident when they are

in

their favorite clothes Finally,

casual clothes make school

more colourful and lively

In conclusion, secondary school

students should wear casual
