VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D for each question
You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be
sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day
planner if you need to, and don’t be afraid to ask questions about what is
expected. It is much easier to make a minute to ask the teacher during or after
class than to struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can ask
how long the particular homework assignment should take to complete so you
can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework.
Many schools have libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to
study or get homework done. The more work you can get done in school,
the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don’t finish your homework during school, think
about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then
plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and 3 hours of
homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote
more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and may
be you need some help. The first place to turn for help is
your teacher. But what if you don’t feel comfortable
with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school,
there maybe other teachers who teach the same subject.
Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in luck.
Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain
something in a different way. Moreover, you might also
be able to get some help from another student. If there is
someone you like who is a good student, think about
asking that person if you can study together.

A. use it to do your homework in the library

A. never ask other teachers because it will hurt their own
teachers
B. always turn to their own teacher for help
C. ask any good students at the subject in your school
