One of the World's Best Cities
With a population of about 2.6 million people, Vancouver is the largest city in Western Canada.
Vancouver is in the southwest of Canada, and it is only a few hours of driving away from the American
border.
Vancouver is popular because it combines so many things. It is a huge, modern city. On the other hand, it
is also one of North America's most beautiful areas. The natural beauty around Vancouver is famous all
around the world.

V. Read the following text and choose the best answer:
You can do a few things to make homework less stressful. First, be sure you understand the
assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions
about what is expected. It is much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to
struggle to remember later that night! If you want, you can also ask how long the particular homework
assignment should take to complete so you can plan your time.
Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework. Many schools have
libraries that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done. The more work you
can get done in school, the less you will have to do that night.
Third, pace yourself. If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have
left and what else going on that day, and then plan your time. Most middle students should have between 1 and
3 hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you will need to devote more time to homework.
No one is expected to understand everything, and maybe you need some help. The first place to turn
for help is your teacher. But if you don't feel comfortable with your teacher? If you are in a big enough school,
there may be other teachers who teach the same subject. Speak to other teachers directly and you may be in
luck. Sometimes it just helps to have someone explain something in a different way. Moreover, you might also

be able to get some help from another student. If there is someone you like who is a good student, think about
asking that person if you can study together.

.
A.to know when you hand it in

.
A. use it to do your homework in the library

.
A. never ask other teachers because it will hurt their own teachers
B. always turn to their own teachers for help
C. ask any good students at the subject in your school
D. go to their teachers or other teachers teaching the same subject
