School uniforms - a mandatory attribute of nearly every prestigious British school. It should be noted that the evolution of form continued until the 50s, and today form pupils in Britain looks like this:
- Strict jacket, blazer or a sweater with the logo of the institution;
- Shirt corresponding coloring, which has a school uniform;
- Tie a tie (for girls and for boys);
- Strict trousers for men, long and strict skirts for girls;
- Patent leather shoes for men, shoes with a small heel for girls.
The introduction of school uniforms in modern Britain is justified by the fact that representatives of the Ministry of Education believe that a single style school uniforms helps to maintain discipline and a positive effect on student behavior. Also, school uniform blurs the line between students of all races and social classes.

Actually, my favorite holiday - it's the New Year, because it is celebrated all people, everywhere festive atmosphere.A's birthday - an individual celebration, which involved only the birthday boy and his family. I like to celebrate a birthday with friends, because we always have fun together. We are laughing nearly all the time, and which are obtained funny photos when we dress up in silly costumes!

I love getting birthday gifts. Besides, I do not care how expensive and valuable gift. On my holiday is always dear to me there are only people, so there are no bad gifts for me. It's their attention!
I hope that many years later on my birthday each will gather loved ones, and this day will always seem like an unusual and full of pleasant surprises.
