A B C D Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions or statements below: Many people now think that teachers give students 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 students. The result is that students have to repeat tasks that they have already done at school. Recently in Greece, many parents complained about the difficult homework teachers gave to their children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two countries that stopped homework recently. In Denmark, Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow students 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 student who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better portion than a student 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 help their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children! 36.
