What is the author's point of view on the iPhone 7?
If you want a small Apple phone you'd be better off opting for the iPhone SE. Alternatively check out our iPhone 7 Plus review. Yes that phone is even more expensive, but it lasts a lot longer and has an even better camera that offers proper zoom. There is one other option to consider too if you're hooked on Apple. The iPhone 6S Plus remains a great phone, has strong battery life and costs exactly the same as the iPhone 7.

• He thinks the iPhone 7 is the best invention yet.

• He thinks the iPhone 7 is the worst thing to happen to technology.

• He thinks that iPhone SE, 7, and/or 7 Plus is better and costs the same.

• He doesn't care about the iPhone 7.

What is the author's point of view on school uniforms?
A shirt, tie and blazer may not be the ingredients for my favourite outfit, but if I were given the choice, I wouldn't throw away the idea of school uniform. Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, creates an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student.

• She thinks they aren't the best but they give students pride and are important.

• She doesn't care about school uniforms.

• She thinks every school in America should wear a uniform to school.

• She thinks they are the worst thing ever and students should be able to wear what they want to school.
