Discussing the Importance of School Traditions

4.6

Emily: Hey, Jake! Do you think school traditions are important?

Jake: Hi, Emily! Yes, I do. I think they bring students together and create a sense of community. What about you?

Emily: I agree. Traditions make school more fun and memorable. For example, I’ll never forget our school’s annual camping trip.

Jake: Oh, I love the camping trip! It’s a great way to bond with classmates and teachers outside of school.

Emily: Exactly. It’s also a chance to learn new skills, like setting up a tent or cooking over a fire.

Jake: True. But not all traditions are about fun. Some, like the graduation ceremony, are more serious and meaningful.

Emily: That’s a good point. Graduation is a tradition that marks an important milestone in our lives.

Jake: Yes, it’s a time to celebrate our achievements and say goodbye to school. Do you think traditions should change over time?

Emily: I think some traditions can evolve, but others should stay the same. For example, I think the school play should always be a tradition, but maybe they can try new themes each year.

Jake: That’s a good idea. It keeps things fresh but still honors the tradition. What about new traditions? Should schools create more?

Emily: Definitely. For example, our school could start a “culture day” where students share food, music, and traditions from their countries.

Jake: That would be amazing! It would help us learn about different cultures and celebrate diversity.

Emily: Exactly. Traditions like that can teach us important values, like respect and understanding.

Jake: I completely agree. By the way, do you know who decides on school traditions?

Emily: I think it’s usually the teachers and the student council. But students can suggest ideas too.

Jake: Maybe we should propose the “culture day” idea. I think everyone would love it.

Emily: Great idea! Let’s talk to the student council next week. Thanks for the discussion, Jake.

Jake: You’re welcome, Emily. See you later!

Emily: See you, Jake!
