In the UK, bus journeys are very common. Buses are often convenient(便利的)for the people who live or work in the city center. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: they get on the bus, pay for it and sit or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone may feel tired and bored.

In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are shown on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed.

Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. They can see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses.

Besides, passengers’ luggage(行李)is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog’s head getting out of somebody’s bag or a lovely chicken “speaking cheerfully” under somebody’s arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising.

All in all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable.

School uniforms are becoming more and more popular across the U.S. That's no surprise, because they offer many good points. If all students wear the same ,they will not pay too much attention to their clothing. And some of them won't be laughed at for wearing the “wrong”clothes.

Some people are against the strict rules of school uniforms,but they do not realize that student have already accepted a kind of rule---wanting to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers(社交障碍). However,school uniforms break down those barriers.

As in other places, uniforms remind the wearers of their purposes and duties. Fox example, when a man puts on a police uniform, he becomes the symbol of law and order. For students the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours they are at school is to get an education.

Some parents are unhappy about school uniforms. They say that school uniforms will affect their children's creativity. First,the clothes that students have to wear do not express their individuality. They just copy their classmates. Second, while they're in school, their job is to master reading, writing and maths. This may take up all creativity they have. They should have the rest of the day to be as creative as they like.
