A Typical School Uniform

A.
There are some very important things to remember while you choose children’s

clothes.
Clothes must be safe for kids. Besides, the little children must be comfortable

in
their clothes. The weather also dictates the choice of clothes for children —
cottons

in
the summer and woollens in the winter and colder weather.

B.In
England, boys and girls enjoy wearing comfortable clothes like T-shirts, jeans
and

sportswear,
when they are relaxing at home or playing with their friends outside. Girls

like
wearing tunics over leggings or a skirt and a top. They choose smart bright things. 

C.
Many American schools have strict rules about school clothes. Boys should wear
a

light-coloured
shirt, not very bright tie in the school’s colours and dark trousers or

shorts.
Many schools also have a jacket as part of the uniform. Girls should wear a

light-coloured
blouse and a darker-coloured skirt or a dress. Some girls’ uniforms

also
have trousers, a jacket or a tie.

D.
Some pupils at an Essex primary school want to have ties in their school
uniform.

They
say that they want to wear ties because they help them to look like adults.
Some

of
them go to school wearing green and yellow ties. But not all the pupils wear
ties.

There
are pupils who don’t like wearing not only ties but also school uniforms.

1.
The word lemur comes from the Latin word meaning “a ghost”. Perhaps this is
because they move about silently at night and have large mysterious eyes. Lemurs
have lived

on
the planet Earth for a very long time, but you can find them only in two places
on the

island
Madagascar (millions of years ago, the island of Madagascar broke away from the
continent of Africa) and the nearby Comori Islands.

2.
Some people think that lemurs belong to the family of squirrels or cats. But
the truth is, they are more close to us, humans. They are primates.

3.
Lemurs have big, bushy tails that wave in the air as a form of communication.
These big tails also help them balance when they jump from tree to tree. But
lemurs don’t hang from trees by their tails, as some monkeys do. Some species
of the lemur have longer tails than

their
bodies.   

4.
There are many kinds of lemurs. They come in different colours and sizes. The
smallest species weighs only 30 grams. The largest species weighs 10 kilograms.
In the past there were also very large lemurs which weighed 240 kilograms, but
they have all died out.

Lemurs are primates and prosimians (not monkeys). The word «lemur» comes from the Latin word lemures, which means «ghosts». Lemur are divided into eight families, with 15 genera and about 100 living species. However, lemur classification is controversial: it depends on which species concept is used. Lemur is also a genus in one of the families.^[1]

Lemurs are native only to the island of Madagascar. From there a few species got to smaller islands nearby, for example the Comoros. Madagascar, like Africa and India, was part of the ancient southern continent of Gondwana.^[2]

Lemurs weigh from 30g to the 10kg. Larger species have all become extinct since human groups moved to Madagascar. Usually, the smaller lemurs are active at night (nocturnal), and the larger ones were active during the day (diurnal).

Lemurs are endangered species because people destroy their habitat and used to hunt them, and perhaps still do so.

Physical description[change | change source]

Ring-tailed lemur, the most studied, are white and black with a ring tail^[3] The larger species are about 1.5 meters tall and weigh about 2 to 3.5 kilograms. They move quietly, usually at night, sometimes letting out eerie wailing cries, which some people think is the reason why they got their names.

Feeding habits and life[change | change source]

Lemurs mostly eat fruit, leaves, and other plant parts. They live in family groups of 5 to 42 members which is called a troop. Females are dominant and remain in the same troop for life. Males move between troops. The female’s gestation period lasts four to five months, and they usually have one or two babies. Lemur mothers nurse their babies until they are about four months old. Then they begin to feed the babies solid food such as fruit. Lemurs spend most of their time in the trees. Some are great leapers, flinging themselves from tree to tree.^[4]

Communication[change | change source]

Lemurs communicate with a variety of hoots. They will also send messages with scents (smells). When a male lemur wants to scare another male away, he first rubs its tail on the smelly glands under its arms and then waves the tail in the other male’s face. These are called «stink fights».
