Part 6. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions (1.0p)
You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure
you understand the assignment. It is easier to take a minute to ask the teacher
during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework.
Many schools have libraries designed to allow students to study. The more work
you can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school,
think about how much you have left. Most middle students should have between
1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day, you will need
to devote more time to homework.
Sometimes you need some help. The first place to turn for help is your
teacher. Besides, there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. If
there is someone you like who is a good student, think about asking that person
if you can study together.
61. The most important thing that you should do when you get your assignment
may be ______.
A. to know when you hand it in
B. to understand it and its requirements
C. to know how long it takes to complete it
