II. Read the article about doing homework. Answer the questions. (1m)

Doing homework

It is a good idea to start your homework early. If you can do it before your evening meal, you will have more time later to do things that you enjoy, like talking on the phone.

It is also better to do homework as soon as possible after the teacher has given it to you. Then, if the homework is difficult and you need time to think about it, you will still have time to do it.

Always turn off your mobile phone and the television when you are doing homework. You will work a lot faster without them. Make sure you have a quiet place to work, with enough light and a comfortable chair.

Questions:

1. Is it good to do homework late or early?

2. When is it better for us to do homework?

3. Why do we have to turn off our mobile phone and the television when we are doing homework?

4. Do you enjoy doing your homework? Why? Or why not?
