7. Homework
论作业
Nowadays, more and more people in society have realized the importance of quality education, however, students in primary schools and high schools are still complaining that they are overloaded with too much homework.
现在,社会上越来越多的人已经意识到素质教育的重要性,然而小学生和中学生却仍然在抱怨他们的作业负担过于沉重。
In many teachers' eyes, homework offers a good method to strengthen the knowledge the students have obtained, yet they ignore the disadvantages that homework brings. For one thing, too much homework will take up all the spare time of students', leaving them unable to enjoy the rest of their lives; for another, too much homework will do great harm to students' health, both physically and mentally.
在许多老师看来,家庭作业是一个很好地巩固学生知识的途径,然而,他们忽视了家庭作业所带来的负面影响。一方面,过多的家庭作业占据了学生全部业余时间,使她们无法享受学校生活;另一方面,过多的家庭作业大大损害了学生的身心健康。
It is high time that schools thought more about the function of homework and try to take practical measures to promote the all-round development of students.
现在应该是学校进一步考虑家庭作业的作用并采取切实措施去提高学生全方位发展的时候了。
