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 questions from 28 to 32.
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.
