(B)
“Is too much homework good?” These days, it is a big topic in China.
Students don't like having too much homework. Some homework can help stu-
dents learn but too much homework makes learning harder.
Students are busy. School is usually from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. They spend
about an hour getting to school and back home. After school, some students play
sports for half an hour, but some do not. Then they do 2-3 hours of homework.
That makes a school day!
Too much homework isn't good for students. Some students can't do well in
class because they go to bed late. When there is too much homework, some stu-
dents may not like their school life.
My daughter is a middle school student. And she has homework every day. Every
teacher says he or she only gives 30 minutes of homework, but if you multiply(乘
以) it by 7, that's too much!
—An e-friend, Ceciliazhang (Nickname)
I'm a father. Now teachers in primary schools give students less homework. I
think teachers in middle schools should also do that. Children should learn by play-
ing outside.
—An e-friend, Langold (Nickname)
Some homework is a good thing, but too much homework is not!
