Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the following questions.
Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is
unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they argue that most teachers do
not properly plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks,
which they have already done at school.
Recently many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their children.
The Greek parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain
and Turkey are two countries, which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, West Germany and several
other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to
stay at school to do their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also
exist in some British schools.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable
room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the
television on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all
in their children’s homework.
It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher suggests suitable tasks
for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.
