Do you like to have any online classes? It is becoming 1 to take classes at home during the early 2020. All you need is a computer or a cellphone. However, most students don't seem to like online classes. A 2 shows that only 33% of over 1,500 students from 10 cities would take such classes.

Many students said it was difficult to focus(集中) on 3 while taking online classes. Lian Ruohan, 15, at the Affiliated High school of Peking University, said, "There are no real classmates sitting near me; no real teachers watching me. I can easily surf the Internet or do 4 things if I want to. It's harder to be always focused."

In order to avoid that, Lian will prepare a lot before classes to make sure she will learn 5 in class. She also pushes herself to communicate(沟通) with teachers about difficulties. She often 6 or answers questions while taking online classes.

Wen Jiayi, 14, at the Yucai Middle School, thinks online interaction(互动) isn't 7. "I have few chances to communicate with the online teachers, and they don't really get to know me. When I don't hand in homework, all I get is only a short telephone 8 instead of real care," she said.

However, Lian thinks online classes still have many 9. "It saves time and money compared to(和……相比较) taking official classes. Also, if I can't 10 some part of a lesson, I can watch it again to make it clear."

On a farm lived a father and a son. The father always got up early and read books by the stove. One morning， the son came up to him and said， "Dad， I read books at night but forget most of them the next morning. What's the good of reading？"

The father didn't reply right away. He passed him a basket that was used to carry coal. He said， "Get some water from the river with the basket and then I'll tell you the answer. "

The son felt surprised but he did as his father said. He tried many times but every time the water leaked （漏掉） from the basket. 

An hour later， the son came back with the empty basket and told his father he failed. The father said with a smile， "Yes， my son. The basket can't hold water. But did you notice the basket was different？" Just then the son found the basket wasn't dirty any more. The father continued， "Reading is like holding water with the basket. We can't hope to remember all we read， but we have changed while reading. "

As a student，what do you think of your school life？Many students may say，"I have too much homework to do every day. I have no time to do my favourite things. I often finish doing my homework late at night. And at the weekend，and I think it's great to do some fun things like playing basketball，playing chess and listening to music after school every day. Sometimes I am really bored with my homework and my school life. 

Yes，you are very busy at school as students，but homework can really help you a lot. Doing homework can help you review what you have learned at school. And it is a very useful way to remember the contents（内容）in books. 

In fact，if you do homework in right ways，I'm sure you can have free time to do the other things you like in your daily life. When you must do your homework, please find a quiet room. Don't listen to music or do anything else when you do your homework. Remember that you can't do two things at the same time. If you meet very difficult questions, ask your parents or classmate s for help. You can also ask for help on the Internet. Make a good plan for your homework of every subject and try your best to finish it on time. 

On very cold winter days, a group of Japanese children traveled a long way and arrived at a small island where nobody lived. After setting up a camp, they caught fish in the sea, and walked on the snow to find firewood, wild fruit and fresh water. Then they made a fire to do some cooking. They were not homeless children or modern Robinson (鲁滨逊). They were all pupils from a primary school and campers of special"hardship（苦难）camp".

Every year primary and middle schools in Japan organize such camps to train the children's spirit of bearing hardships. Such places like thick forests and far-off（遥远的）mountains are often chosen as camp places.

The Japanese education circles (教育界) usually think it necessary to give children chances of suffering（经历）hardships. Children in Japan now may hardly find times of hardships, because of the rapid growth of national economy（经济）and improvement in people's living conditions. The experts（专家）think that such hardship camps can help children learn to live and develop in the struggle against nature.

It's said that such hardship camps are warmly accepted by both Japanese school children and their parents.

 There is a story about Li Bai. He was not a very hard-working student when he was young. He often skipped school(逃学). 

 One day when he was walking by the river, he saw an old woman. She was working on a large piece of iron(铁). 

 Li Bai asked, "What are you doing?"

 She said, "I'm making a needle(针). "

"But how can you make a large piece of iron into a needle?"

 She replied, "I must work hard every day. "

 Li Bai suddenly understood the importance of hard work, and he started to work hard at school.
