play, watch TV and spend time with family members. So homework

must be given but in a balanced way.
FOR SAMPLE ONLY
I insist that homework must be given because it gives us practice.

We can practise the exercises learnt at school, we can revise the
lessons, and sometimes we learn something new. Homework makes
us independent learners. Moreover, if we regularly do the homework,

we won’t have to worry much about preparing for the exam.
On the other hand, we get a lot of homework daily which hampers our

rights (e.g. to have fun!). And if we cannot complete our homework
due to load-shedding, or personal problems, then we may be punished
by the teachers. But it is not that homework should not be given. Yes,it
should be given because it makes us revise our lessons and prepare for

the next class as some education experts say. But homework should
be given in a limit so that we will have spare time for other activities
as well. Again, I emphasize that homework must be a part of student
life.
