Reading B
Is homework too hard？ [2]
Eric, 14
I don’t think it’s necessary for primary school students to do homework.
First of all, primary school students are still very young.I heard that many of them stay up late to finish their homework.This is quite unhealthy and will make students lose interest in school.
What’s more, children need more time to learn different skills, such as cooking and painting.Having more personal time will give them opportunities to develop hobbies.
Steven, 13
In my opinion, students in lower grades(grades 1 to 3)should not do homework.Students at this age should take up hobbies like dancing, painting, and playing soccer.Life is boring without hobbies.
I’ll take myself as an example.I liked dancing a lot when I was in lower grades, but because of my homework, I had to give it up.I had a lot of chances to take part in different games, but I didn’t do this because I didn’t have time.
Robinson, 13
I think primary school students should do homework.
Doing homework is a part of every student’s daily routine.It can help students get good learning habits.Homework is a good way to help them review after a full day of learning.When someone does homework, he or she needs to make a study plan.(https://www.daowen.com)
