Question 4

In summary, students are reminded to follow the school rules. The

school rules are there to provide a good and conducive environment for
learning. Moreover, it is also to maintain proper order in the school
grounds.

Read the text below.

Nowadays, soft reminders from the school authorities to obey and

follow the school rules often fall on deaf ears. Students feel that school
rules are a nuisance and that they cause more trouble than good. However, students must understand that schools are public places and there are
rules that govern public places.
Firstly, students must be punctual. Being punctual is one way to train
discipline to be on time. This is to reduce distraction during classes and
also allows the teachers to start the classes on time. If students were
late for classes, the teachers would have to wait for most of the students

to arrive before the class can begin. In countries like Japan, being late
for classes or any event is a sign of respect.
Secondly, uniforms have to be neat and tidy. Wearing a uniform that
is neat and tidy will present a good school image to the public. On the other hand, this helps students individually to improve their self-esteem as
students would be proud to be part of the school. For example, prestigious schools in foreign countries have a very strict uniform policy and students affiliate themselves with the school by holding their heads high
while wearing their uniforms.
Thirdly, students should not litter indiscriminately as it clogs the
drains of the school. Throwing rubbish around the school grounds encourages pest infestation. In addition, littering indiscriminately will ruin the
image the school. Students should be reminded to throw their rubbish into the bins provided around the school grounds.
