Importance of Homework

Good afternoon everyone. My name is Li Ping and today I will be talking about why it is important for school children to do homework every day. My presentation is divided into two parts. First of all, I will talk about how important homework is for school children. After that I will talk about what can happen if students don’t do any homework. Please feel free to ask questions at the end of the presentation. Now, let’s get started.

As you know, students spend a lot of time at schools. They learn a lot during the day but they don’t have enough practice on their own. Doing homework helps them develop their skills. Also when students do homework, they can sometimes get help from their parents or private tutors. They gain more knowledge by listening to others at home. It helps them to bond with their parents and learn from their experience. Students soon realize that the teacher in the classroom is not the only source of information. Students go on the internet and try to find answers to their homework questions. They learn by doing things and by answering questions. Also students become smart when they answer questions. They learn a new thing every day. When they grow up, they will have learned millions of things. When students do their homework, they don’t mix with bad people. They are under supervision at home. When they grow up, they get good jobs and this makes their future better.

Now let’s move on to the second part of the presentation. It is clear that if students do any homework at home, they forget what they have learned at school. They also become lazy and start to fail their tests. Sometimes teachers don’t have enough time to let their students answer enough questions on the topics they teach. In addition to that, learning from school books is not enough sometimes to pass exams. Students who want to have high marks need to do extra work when they go home. Those who don’t do their homework get low marks in their exams. Their knowledge is limited and they don’t know anything outside school books. They only know what the teacher tells them in class. So if the teacher does not tell them some important information, they never know about it because they don’t do their homework.

It’s nearly time for me to finish the presentation. I would like to thank you for coming here today. Now if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
