Homework is a problem for students all over the world. As a student, you have lots of homework to do every day. It’s a major part of a student’s schooldays. It’s the best way to review what you have learned in class. And it helps you understand important concepts (概念). Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less difficult.
Be sure you understand the homework
Write your homework down in your notebook if you need to. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about it. It’s much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!
Use your time at school
Many schools have study hall. It is designed to allow students to study on their own. It’s more interesting to play with friends. But the more homework you finish at school, the less you’ll have to do that night.
Take a break
It’s difficult to hold your attention for too long. So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
Make a plan
If you don’t finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 hour and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day, you’ll need to spend more time on it. It’s a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.

【推荐1】You Can Make a Windsock(风筒)
Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps.
You will need:
●one piece of heavy colored paper ● five ribbons
●strong tape ●a string
●a pencil
What to do:
Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.
Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.
Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie the ends of the string together.
Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.
Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. You can also hang it outside and watch it dance around on its own!

【推荐2】 Teachers can change the world
I got an invitation to take part in an education conference (会议) at a high school. At lunchtime, I saw a young girl who looked familiar. I knew she had been a student of mine. I tried hard to recall her name, but I couldn’t. It really made me sad, as I have always been unable to remember former students.
Her eyes met mine and she threw her arms around and said, “Mrs. G, it’s me, Sarah, and I’m still writing!”
All the memories soon came back to my mind. You see, Sarah was never a student in my classroom. Sarah's mother had left her family and her father was absent (缺席的) from her life as well. She was sent to live with foster parents (养父母) the year I met her. Sarah was angry, often got in trouble and was often in the principal’s office.
It was during one of those office visits that I first met her. She was writing in a notebook with a rather angry look on her face. I introduced myself to her and asked her what she was writing about. Sarah shared her story with me. Her writing spoke to me. It filled my heart and I knew it was good for her to put her thoughts on paper. Every morning at school before I started my classes, she would come into my classroom and would work on her writing skills.
My experience years ago with Sarah taught me that teachers have a great influence upon their students, even when those students are troubled. Taking the time to talk with a child has the power to truly change that child’s life. That’s why I teach.

【推荐3】Opinions on Life Skills Education
Although students are busy studying, it is important to remember another area of study—life sills such as washing clothes and growing vegetables. They are useful in our daily life. Here are some opinions about life skills education.
| Mrs. Blair | Children need to learn most of the life skills at school. As parents, we can help them take part in activities around the house and in the neighborhood. |
| Kevin | I’m not sure whether it is necessary because I haven’t tried life skills classes yet. In my school, many students pay no attention to learning life skills. They don’t think it will improve their chances of getting into college. |
| Li Ping | We have life skills classes at school. They are quite useful. They help prepare for everyday real-life situations, from washing dishes to preparing a meal. These activities give us knowledge we need to live on our own. |

【推荐2】As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is time to be well informed about making choices. In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of other even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural at this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.
This period is a part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people who go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not even see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Enjoy your life wisely!

Finally, a good neighbor should love the environment. He or she never puts rubbish here and there. Good neighbors should keep the place clean, because the good environment can make us comfortable and happy.
