Student: Excuse me, Ms Henderson?

Student: I'm sorry, but I can't come to class next Wednesday. I have a doctor's appointment.
Teacher: OK. Thanks for letting me know.
Student: Is there anything to do at home?
Teacher: Let me just check my notebook. OK, first of all … you need to read chapters 17, 19 and 20 in the book. There are also some articles and a video to watch – those are online. I'll post the links online in the usual place.
Student: Chapters 17 to 20.
Teacher: Yes, except chapter 18. Chapters 17, 19 and 20.
Student: Ah, OK. Um ... is there a deadline?
Teacher: Yes, this Friday. But there's something else. I was going to give you all a practice test.
Student: A practice test?
Teacher: Yes, to help people prepare for the mid-term exam.
Student: Ah. All right.
Teacher: Don't worry, I can send you the practice test by email on Wednesday. Can you send it to me before Friday?
Student: Sure, no problem.
Teacher: And don't forget to bring a certificate from the doctor to the office.
Student: Thanks, Ms Henderson! I'll do that.
Teacher: You're welcome, Diana. Take care.
Yes, I usually have quite a lot of homework. I like homework that involves reading and answering questions because I find it interesting and easy to understand. It also helps me review the lessons.
Sometimes my teacher give me some homework. And for what kind of homework that I like, I'm actually neutral with it. But I'm quite prefer the individual homework because it's more easy to organize it since the one who'll do the homework is myself.
Yes, I have quite a lot of homework, especially from my English classes. I like homework that involves speaking, listening, or reading because it is more interesting and helps me improve my English skills.
I don't have much homework right now. My favorite homework is actually writing, but I need enough time to finish it perfectly. Also maybe I can't get homework like this too often.
Having a lot of homework sometimes can be overwhelming, i try to do my strategy, to do it as soon as it's given, not to postpone it because it will just make it much more stressful later
I can understand the feeling of having too much homework and many assignments. It can be really tiring when we have a lot of things to do.-silvi
I am not a student and don't have any homework because I graduated from university about 15 years ago.
However, I think homework is essential for students for several reasons. First, it helps students to review the lessons they have learned in class. Also, it allows them to check whether they fully understood the details of lessons. Moreover, doing home regularly helps them develop a good study habit.
From my perspective as an adult, I think there can be a significant gap between who doing homework regularly and those who doing not.
No, I don't have much homework because I don't study at the moment. But I practice English and work on developing my personal skills.
No , I don't have homework , I'm not studying actually.
I sometimes have a lot of homework but I try do it. It is my responsible. I like homework that I understand and I do it step by step. I take my time and finally I feel confident myself.
