Do you want to make homework simpler? Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr. Nick Whitehead, said, “Homework might be an unavoidable (不可避免的) part in school, but it doesn’t have to be the boring part. With the right skills in place, students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free.” These steps will make an obvious difference.

Use your notebooks

Students should never think they can remember all school details. When a teacher assigns homework, students should write the details in their notebooks. To make them effective, students need to remember to take the notebooks out of their school bags at night, open them up, and read over the night’s list.

Remove distractions (使注意力分散的事物)

Computers on, music on, text messages receiving

Whitehead says that if students aren’t research the Internet for useful information, they should turn off all the above electronics and focus on the task at hand for enough time. They’ll find that it is easier to concentrate (全神貫注) and that homework takes less time.

Think actively

What happens if students are struggling with a question, or can’t work out an answer? When facing difficulties, it is wise for the student to take a small break then return to look at the problem again.

Get organized

Homework is often the most disorganized part. Whitehead recommends, “Students should keep all the stationery(文具) in a bin so they don’t waste time searching for pens or rulers.” He also recommends staying at the same place to do homework every night, and (when possible) completing homework at the same time each day.
