III. “Should teachers give pupils much homework?” (2pts)

Write a composition to express your idea on this. (You should write within 200 - 220 words)

      I believe that much homework is not necessary. Pupils already spend most of the day in school. They need their time outside of school to do other things. They need time to spend with their family, to work, and to just relax. They can learn their lessons with homework two or three exercises a day, but much homework isn’t necessary.

      All pupils need to spend time with their families. They are still young and they need the guidance and support their parents can give them. They need the companionship of their brothers and sisters . In addition, many families rely on their older children to help out at home. They take care of the younger children and help with the cooking and cleaning. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for their  families.

Many high school pupils have jobs. They go to their jobs after school and on weekends. Some work in order to help their families. Others works to save money for college. Pupils’ jobs are very important to them. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have enough energy to go to work.

      Pupils need time to relax. They study hard in school all day and many works at jobs after school. But they are still young. They need to spend their time with their friends and have fun. When pupils  relax with friends, they then have more energy for school and work. They have a chance to develop social skills or to pursue their own interests. Having free time is important for a child’s development. If pupils have too much homework, they won’t have time for relaxation.

      In conclusion, I think homework is important for pupils, but other things are important, too.
