What Do Students Think of
Their Homework?
The day before yesterday, we had a discussion aboutour homework. Many students thought it__was__good__to__do__our__homework①， but some students didn t think so.
Many__students__thought__doing__homework__could__help__them__review__what__they__had__learned__and__solve__the__problems__alone②. It was their duty to finish homework, and theyshould learn how to arrange their time well.
But some students thought it took much time andthey couldn t rest well. They couldn t do the things they liked, either. Somehomework was so difficult that① they could not finish it.
In my opinion, it s necessary and helpful to dosome suitable homework.
