Routines are very useful but they also make you uncreative So sometimes it's a good idea to break your routines Get out of bed on the opposite side Listen to a different radio station Take a different route to work Eat something different for breakfast Change your routine You never know, it could change your life

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 in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to the children The parents said that most of the homework was 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 exit 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 should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children Parents are often better at teaching their own children!
1 According to the writer,
A a lot of homework is well planned B teachers are allowed to give children homework
C many parents would like their children to have less homework
D pupils should do homework in their leisure time
2 In which countries is homework completely stopped?

D it’s advisable for the children to re-do the class-tasks
