One Saturday morning in autumn, I went to see my friend Sherlock Holmes at his rooms in Baker Street. When I came, I saw that he already had a visitor. That was a very fat old man with very bright red hair and a red face. “This is very good that you have come, my dear Watson,” with these words Holmes turned to his visitor. “Doctor Watson has helped me in many of my cases, Mr Wilson, and I am sure that he will be very useful to us in this case too. Watson, this is Mr Jabez Wilson.” The fat gentleman got up from his chair to greet me.

Holmes saw that I was watching the old man and guessed my thoughts. “You are trying to be a detective, Watson!” he said. “Well, Mr Wilson’s appearance tells us about his past life. It’s clear that he has been a workman, that he has been writing a lot recently, and that he has been in China.”

Mr Wilson was very astonished. “How do you know, Mr Holmes, all these things? I didn’t tell you about them. You are right that I was a carpenter when I was young. But who told you?”

“Your hands prove it, Mr Wilson,” Holmes answered.” Your right hand is larger than your left one. You have worked with it, and so it is more developed.”

“But how do you know that I have been writing a lot recently?”

“It is very easy. I looked at your sleeves. Your right sleeve nearly wears out at the wrist, and the left sleeve nearly wears out at the bend of the arm. That means that your left arm and your right wrist have been rubbing on a desk. So you have been writing.”

“And how did you guess about China?”

“There is a tattoo of a pink fish on your right wrist. Only in China they do this kind of tattoo. I know it, Mr Wilson. I have studied tattoos: in fact, I have written a book about them. I also can see a Chinese coin on your watch chain. So it is not difficult to guess that you have been in China.”

Mr Wilson laughed loudly.

“It is really very easy.”

                      School Uniform

School uniform appeared in the 16th century in England. It was a long blue coat for orphans and children from poor families. In modern Britain there are old schools where school uniform has not changed for centuries, and pupils of these schools like to wear it. In Germany school uniform is rare, and in Italy there is no school uniform at all, because in these countries it is associated with the Nazi regime.

The style of school uniform can be influenced by a country’s tradition or climate. In Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan and Singapore, schoolgirls wear a uniform designed on the basis of British sailor suit. In Australia, because of the hot climate, even high school students are allowed to wear uniform shorts instead of trousers.

In Russian schools and in most American schools there is no mandatory uniform, but often there is a dress code or rules for wearing business-style clothes.

As we can see, school uniform has been around for a long time, and all this time people have been debating whether it is necessary to wear uniforms at school.

                                          Школьная форма

Школьная форма появилась в XVI веке в Англии. Это было длинное синее пальто для сирот и детей из бедных семей. В современной Британии есть старые школы, где школьная форма не менялась на протяжении веков, и ученикам этих школ нравится ее носить. В Германии школьная форма встречается редко, а в Италии вообще нет школьной формы, потому что в этих странах она ассоциируется с нацистским режимом.

Фасон школьной формы может зависеть от традиции или климата страны. В Японии, Южной Корее, Таиланде, Тайване и Сингапуре школьницы носят форму, разработанную на основе матросок британских моряков. В Австралии из-за жаркого климата даже старшеклассникам разрешено носить форменные шорты вместо брюк.

В российских школах и в большинстве американских нет обязательной формы, но часто есть дресс-код или правила ношения одежды делового стиля.

Как видим, школьная форма существует уже давно, и все это время люди спорят, нужна ли форма в школе.
