People have been trying to find out whether homework is good or bad for school children, and they have different1.
Some people think that homework is an important part of2for students. They believe it not only enables children to practice what they have learned3class, but also helps4their handwriting. They also say that homework is able to teach children5to work on their own. Also, it's a skill which is6to them in future life.
Others disagree, though. They think homework puts7stress on children. And the time spent on homework could have been used to do8activities like reading and playing sports, To back up(支持) their opinion, they give the9of Finland(芬兰).
In Finland, students have little homework. But the country remains one of the most educationally10countries in the world.
In my opinion, whether the homework is good or bad11the purpose of it. If there is no clear reason for giving homework, the students will not get12from doing it, so it should not be set.13, I still believe that homework can14help with children's learning, if teachers clearly tell them why they15do the homework and let them know how they will do their homework. Students will get more from homework.

Bill's favorite color is orange. But he can't see what orange looks like. Bill is blind.
A month after he was born, his mother noticed that his eyes weren't quite as big as a normal baby's. "Bill wouldn't be able to see." the doctor told his mother. After that, Bill's mother began talking to him, describing things she saw outside the window. She described everything to him.
Bill not only listens to his mother's descriptions to learn about the world around him, but also sees with his ears and his hands. He has perfect hearing. When people make phone calls, he can tell the numbers they dial(拨).
Bill loves computer science. He began teaching himself computer programming when he was just seven years old. His dream school would be Stanford University. He gets top grades in his class, making that a real possibility. "You can't let excuses get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that, you can't move forward and reach your goals," said Bill.

Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. He not only wrote stories, but also wrote articles about living conditions of Chinese people.
Lu Xun was born in 1881. In 1898, his grandfather was put into prison for taking money. His father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing. In 1902, he went to study in Japan. He showed a talent for writing and translating. He even wrote several books. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money. After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing. Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story Of Ah Q(1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer. Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories. He then only wrote articles which called on people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books.
He died in 1936. Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown. Today some of his works are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions of people around the world.
In order to improve students' health and reduce students' pressure, our country made some rules. Here are some of them.
Firstly, homework for middle school students should take no more than 90 minutes. They can finish most of written homework at school so that after school they only spend a little time finishing the rest. Some students can still go to sleep on time even though they don't finish their homework until bedtime. Then they will have more time to relax. Secondly, mobile phones mustn't be brought to class because students are easily absent-minded(心不在焉的) from the lesson. Students must control the time on electronic products to protect their eyesight. They shouldn't lose themselves in the Internet. Thirdly, students are expected to listen carefully and go over lessons in time so that they can master the right methods of learning. Fourthly, parents should often communicate with their children, pay attention to their feelings and help them develop good learning and life habits.
In a word, these rules are helpful to middle school students. If they follow the rules, they can improve their study and health.
