A. Circle the correct alternative.

I have just started a new school. The rules are a bit different from my old school. For example, here
we (1) don’t have to/have to wear a uniform, which is great because I dislike them, but we
(2) can/can’t wear shorts or things like that. I’m not sure if we (3) can/have to wear make-up at all.
The amazing thing is that we (4) don’t have to/can use smartphones in class – but only with the
teacher’s permission. Of course, we (5) mustn’t/don’t have to use them to text each other or use
social media. Like in my old school, attendance is important and we (6) mustn’t/must be late – when
we are, we (7) have to/can bring a note from home the next day or we (8) have to/can’t go outside
at break time.
