Question

Hi, everybody! I’m Max, now I’m studying in an international school in Canada. Students here also spend much time on homework. How difficult the homework is depends on (取決于) what subject you are learning.

For English, we usually put together presentations(展示). I will look for some information on the Internet. For example, I’m working on a one-minute presentation about recent Canadian news. I read about lots of news, and I will choose one thing to write about. Doing presentations is a good way to practice speaking skills and build confidence (自信). I still feel shy talking in front of many people. But my English has really become better.

For geography and history, we usually do paper work and make posters. It takes a lot of time. We spent about a month on one article last year. We had to make outlines(提綱) and write out the main ideas. Our teacher fixed them and then we could start to write. For the posters, you can print or draw them. Last week, our teacher asked us to make a poster about our sense of place. So we put two pictures of our favorite places and wrote 10 words to describe them.

Science was very hard for me at first. And it took me an hour to read three pages. But as I learn more and more words, I understand it better. Even if I don’t understand all the words, I can mostly guess what it is saying. So I get faster and faster at doing my homework.

No matter what homework you get, just try your best.
