Advice on doing homework

Damian, 13
I don’t mind doing homework, especially when I play some jazz (and not pop) on my phone.
When I do, I’m able to think more carefully about what I’m doing. Sometimes I really enjoy
doing my homework, especially when it’s maths and I understand it well. Or when one of my
classmates comes to my place and we study together. I find it’s best if I let my parents and sister
know I’m busy so they don’t come into my room and spend all evening talking to me!
Louis, 11
When I started doing my homework in my room every morning, it wasn’t a great success. I
always found something more interesting to do! But these days, I don’t have the same problem. I
just go to my room in the evening, switch on the light, sit down at my desk and do it. I do love
music, but if I put my MP3 player on, I start to think about the song and not the homework! So I
don’t listen while I work. It’s the same problem if my mum or dad put music on in the next room.
I turn my mobile off or put it away before I start. That helps too.
Jackson, 14
I usually do most of my homework before I go to bed. And then I do a bit more as soon as I wake
up. I’ve always found it easy to do that. I’ll maybe look at my German vocabulary for five
minutes before breakfast. I tell my friends at school: ‘If you want to do your homework well,
make sure your room is nice and bright. Otherwise, you’ll fall asleep!’

Reading Part 2:
Starting photography
By Mrs Howeels, Class 3D teacher
Have you ever wanted to take better pictures of your family, of your dinner or of your cat? Well,
I can help you. In fact, that’s what makes photography such a fantastic hobby. It doesn’t matter if
you have a nice new camera or just use your phone. We photographers are always trying to
improve. We want today’s to be more interesting than yesterday’s.
In my photography classes, I’ll show you how to find your own style, not just take the same
photos as all your friends. But you’ll need to be out of bed early and take pictures in the best
light, before it gets too bright. We’ll talk more about light in Week 1.
Actually, I’ve never read a book about photography, and I get bored watching videos on the net. I
started to understand more about photography by looking at my own photos. I thought about
what was wrong with them and decided how to do better next time. And in Week 2, I’ll ask you
to do the same with photos you have taken.
Do you want to know what I think? I don’t think there’s anyone who can’t take amazing photos.
Not everyone wants to, and that’s cool. But if you do, come along to Room 4D on Wednesdays
after lunch from 1:30 to 2:00.
8 Why does Mrs Howells enjoy photography?
A She loves using her new camera.
B She likes taking photos of her family.
C She enjoys trying to take better pictures.
9 What advice does Mrs Howells give?
A Take pictures with your friends.
B Don’t take photos if it is dark.
C Take photos early in the morning.
10 How did Mrs Howells learn about photography?
A from books
B from her mistakes
C from videos on the web
11 Mrs Howells believes that
A everybody should learn photography.
B photography is a great hobby for everyone.
C everybody can take good photos if they want to.
