As students, we have homework every day. Here is some advice for us to finish our homework well. Doing homework should be the first thing, and we should do our homework as soon as we get home. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also for stretching(伸展) breaks. It is our duty to do our homework. Don't depend on our parents for help. Please try to find the answer by ourselves because we will learn much more in this way. When we have a question, especially something about science or maths, don't always turn to smart phone, iPad or computer! We need to think hard, then try to solve the problems by ourselves. We can also look at our textbooks carefully, or use some tool books. We can't learn anything without thinking. |
Finally, while doing homework, don't think about or do other things. Keep working. We can set a time limit(限制) to help with this. Different ages decide different study time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that is aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is right for a child aged9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes at the ages of 13-15. What's more, the ability to pay attention and stay on tasks also decides the study time. So it is natural that some kids may be not good at it. |
