* Read the passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
Many people now think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say
that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover,
they argue that most teachers do not properly plan the homework tasks they give
to pupils. The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks which they have already
done at school. Recently in Greece many parents said that most of the homework
was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two
countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, Germany and several
countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends. In Holland,
teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework. The children are free
to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist in some British schools.
