For items 22-24, read the given article below then answer the questions that follow. NO HOMEWORK ON
WEEKENDS

Every school in the world at one point has given their students homework on weekends and holiday
breaks. Schools shouldn't be allowed to give homework on weekends nor does holiday break because it is not fair.

Every year students must go to school 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Every week we, students have
school 5 out of the 7 days. When we arrive home tired. We wake up at 6 am to get ready for school at 7:40am and
don’t get out until the end of the last period! That isn't including students like me who play sports. Practice lasts
from 3pm to 5pm. If there is a game that day, you normally don’t get home until 7pm. If you have an away game,
sometimes you don’t get home until 10pm! We just want to relax after a hard day of learning, but the work is not
over just because school is out for the day. We get homework. So we are in school for 8 hours plus and in addition,
another 4 hours of homework. Oh great, another restless night.

That is why we have the weekends. On the weekends, we are supposed to enjoy ourselves, relax, hang
out with friends, play, sleep in and so much more! Sadly, we cannot do that. Teachers give us weekend homework.
We were supposed to have fun; we had our weekend planned out. Now, we have homework. We are now
cramming to finish our homework so we can play, and actually have fun. Unfortunately, by the time you know it,
the weekend is over! We never got to play, sleep in or hang out with friends since our parents never let us leave
the house until all homework and chores are completed! What is really bad is on holidays we get breaks with
homework. Our families celebrate holidays by spending time with friends and family at a get-together. The
problem is the homework delays the celebration. I have heard some teachers say, "Just because you’re going on
break for a holiday, that doesn’t mean it is a learning vacation." Now we wasted our entire holiday break/weekend
doing homework! Now the week starts again with more work!

The weekend is when we, students are supposed to have a break from stressed cause from work. Of
course, I do understand why the teachers give us homework. They just want us to practice what we learned in
class so we will get a good grade. I totally understand, but that is why they should give us homework during the
school week, not on the weekends.

For items 26-30, read the given article below then answer the questions that follow.

Either wearing or not a school uniform has been the issue in the long run. There are many opinions and
different perspectives arise. Each is dependent upon on its purpose. But what is really the role of wearing a school
uniform? Some studies have shown that wearing uniforms improves discipline and behavior in school, helps to
improve learning experiences and increases school attendance. (Konheim-Kalkstein 2006). Wearing a school
uniform has given different benefits to the students because it showcases the school's spirit, it reduces the number
of trespassers and bullying, and it saves money for the student's family.

By wearing school uniform, the students do render their loyalty to the school, and it made them have the
spirit of togetherness and unity that composes the school's identity. As a matter of fact, school’s uniform has been
the students' pride in going to competitions that made them inspired and agitated for they know that the school is
behind their back. The students themselves are not only glorified for the winnings but the school as well,
exemplified by their uniform.

The school's spirit is not only shown through competitions but likewise in community activities. Wearing
the uniform in a parade during fiesta is a great pleasure for the school because all the people could have a glance
to it and somehow conclude that the school has the school's spirit and loyalty.

Fortunately, wearing a school uniform makes the campus a friendly and a safe school for the number of
trespassers and bullying cases decrease. For school authorities, they can easily identify their students through their
uniform upon entering the school premises. The so-called policy, "Not in complete uniform, no entry" has been a
very good practice of the school to strengthen the wearing of school uniform that leads to the diminishing number
of trespassing cases.

The strike of bullying cases amongst students can be minimized through wearing of school uniform. Not
wearing school uniform may lead into misunderstandings and discrimination because of the cultural diversity and
unique beliefs that could start a bullying act. If a majority wears the same clothes, then they have the power to
bully the minorities. This thing will not and will never be happened if all students are wearing the school uniform
because it creates the sense of equality.

In the same sense, not all students are privileged to have extravagant civilian clothes that fortunate
students can. This gives way to bullying the unfortunate ones, but with wearing uniform, this will no longer
happen. With wearing school uniform, social status for the unfortunate students will no longer be an issue inside
the school because it makes every student appears the same. There will be fewer bullying cases inside the school,
then.
