Homework is a problem for students all over the world. As a student, you have a lot of homework to do every day. It’s a major part of a student’s school day. It’s the best way to review what you have learned in class. Here are several things you can do to make homework easier.

Write your homework down in your notebook. Don’t be afraid of asking questions about it. It’s much easier to ask the teacher during school time than to try to remember later that night!

Many schools have study halls. They are designed to allow students to study there. The more homework you finish at school, the less you’ll have to do that night.

It’s difficult to hold your attention for too long. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

Most students have between 1 and 2 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day, you’ll need to spend more time on it. It’s a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.

Many times we don’t want to do chores. However, the problem is that sometimes putting things off makes things worse. Wonder how to do it? It’s helpful to start by taking small steps to finish chores, especially those you find boring.

Your first step is to write down the chores you have to finish. It helps you know where to begin. Then, as you decide which chores to do, you can break them down into smaller ones.

Another step is just to imagine what a difference you will make. Imagine what your home will be like after you finish these chores. When you picture it in your mind, you’ll feel really motivated（有动力的）to start.

Finally, you’d better control the time to do chores. After you finish the chores within the specified time, reward （奖励）yourself with something you like. You’ll probably find that doing chores is not really bad, and you may even want to give yourself more time to do them, What’s more, finishing them will probably be rewarding enough, but you can always reward yourself with something special for a job well done.

According to a new survey, students’ safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robber（抢劫）on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.

Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No.25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.

★If you are robbed

Keep calm. If you can not cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.

★lf you are in a traffic accident

If a car hits you, you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt. If it is raining hard and there is lighting, don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees.

★When there is a fire

Get away as fast as yon can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lit.

★If someone is drowning（溺水）

If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help.

Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all time!
