68. Many teachers assign homework to students every day. Do you think that daily homework is necessary for students? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

参考分析:

基本上同意。

  1. 给学生留作业的好处
  2. 学生缺乏自学能力,所以,通过留作业,可以使学生不知不觉地完成知识的吸收。
  3. 学习是一个系统的过程。系统的重复(systematical repetition)是学习过程中的一个重要机制(mechanism)。而留作业,也正是通过这个机制使学习更加有效。
  4. 但是,有些老师
  5. 留作业不科学,还不如不留。
  6. 留作业太多,造成副作用(counter-effect; negative effect),使学生厌学(be weary of studying)
  7. 另外,要看是哪个阶段的学生:
  8. 小学(elementary school)一二年级,就不要留作业了吧?
  9. 初中以上,留作业的同时是不是应该更注重培养学生的自学能力呢?
  10. 上了大学之后,还要每天留作业,就很古怪了吧?

68、每天的作业是有用的
(1)作业有助于帮助学生复习功课
(2)让学生养成学习的好习惯
(3)有时候,学生一起做作业有助于加强同学之间的关系和友谊

Topic 68 Is daily homework necessary?

There is much controversy about the necessity of daily homework for students. Some say homework is necessary since practice makes perfect, while others disagree because they believe a student should have the freedom to study whatever in whatever forms just as he/she likes to.

In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students. First, a teacher could assign homework as a measure for the students to study. A student needs guidance from a teacher because he/she does not have an overall understanding of the knowledge he is going to study from the teacher. This means, at the beginning, a student could not well plan his/her study, just as a kid who is for the first time in a swimming pool could do nothing but to play with water. A teacher could make a good study plan for him/her, so that he/she could learn efficiently.

Secondly, even when a student has already understand what he/she should do in order to master some skill or knowledge, he/she is still unwilling to do this for the lack of motivation. Hey, do not tell me that you have never been lazy at all when you were young. Some homework could function as a task for the student to perform which is helpful to motivate him/her.

Thirdly, homework is an important form of feedback for a teacher to understand the effectively of his/her teacher. As I have mentioned before, a teacher makes a study plan for the students; but does it really work? Or does it work for all the students? It's not difficult to know this only if the teacher pays some attention to the homework of the students. Then he/she may be able to find if there's some problems in his/her teaching, and make corresponding adjustment of his/her teaching, either for all the students or for a single one. Without some feedback, it is impossible for the teacher to do this. A test is also a good form of feedback, but obviously one or two tests are not enough, and sometimes this kind of feedback just comes to late.

However, This conclusion might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework are necessary. Actually, only proper amount of homework in proper forms is acceptable; some homework may not only fail to help the students, but on contrary bore them, so much so that they may lose their innate interest to study. "Proper" homework, in my opinion, should vary in its forms; it might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercises. And it should leave enough freedom to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than drive them. Only if a teacher keeps this in his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students.
