    Calls for Homework to Be Scrapped
    A teachers’ group is calling for kids to do no homework because of fears it makes them stressed and unhappy.
    Under the plans homework for primary school kids could be completely scrapped, and the amount teenagers have to do would be absolutely canceled.
    But don’t think you’ve been let off the hook just yet, as the idea is so far only being talked about.
    There are also calls for a group to be set up to look at other reasons why kids might be unhappy at school.
    Mary Bousted from the union said: "I think homework is a waste of time."
    Homework especially puts lots of stress on poorer children, who might not have as many books and computers at home, she added.
    The government says teachers don’t have to give homework, but they are encouraged to set it. A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families said homework helped children and young people develop their learning skills.

答案 Should Homework Be Banned? Recently, a group of teachers are calling for the banning of schoolchildren’s homework, fearing the homework will make them stressed and unhappy. And others in support of the homework ban contend homework especially puts heavy stress on poorer children who lack books and computers to finish their homework. However, the authorities will dismiss their effort. The government encourages teachers to set homework, holding it helps children and young people develop their learning skills. As for me, I am against the idea of banning homework. The reasons are as follows. Firstly,if the homework is banned, some of the students would not be aware of the importance of learning in their own time, and they are more likely to spend time in watching TV, playing video games and having other kinds of fun. Secondly, certain amounts of homework can help the parents learn how their children are doing in the study. Besides, the homework such as going to the libraries or visiting a museum to do the field study can be monitored by the parents. This helps develop a healthy family relationship. Thirdly, homework is an inseparable assistance of school work. For example, if the students preview the lessons in advance, they can have a better understanding of what they learn. In a word, banning homework is not a good idea.
解析     考生在下笔之前应先审题，明确写作要求：针对“禁止做家庭作业是否合理”这一热议话题，首先总结正反方的意见，然后给出个人观点。文章结构可安排如下：
    第一段：简要概括人们对是否应该禁止做家庭作业的两方观点，并表明自己的观点——家庭作业不应该被禁止，但应该合理安排。
    第二段：分三点铺陈论证自己的观点。第一，家庭作业若是被禁止，部分学生会丧失自主学习的意识，他们可能会更愿意把时间花在看电视玩游戏上；第二，有些学习是在学校之内无法完成的，如课外社会实践，参观博物馆等；第三，适当的家庭作业有很大的益处，一是增进父母对孩子学习状况的了解，二是对所学习的知识做到及时的复习，三是在课后的预习有助于新的课程的学习。
    第三段：重申观点——不应该禁止家庭作业。
