UNIT 7 : THE WORLD OF WORK – Lesson 3 : A.4

4. Read. Then answer the questions (A4- P.75).
Many people think that students have an easy life:
We only work a few hours a day and have long
vacations. They don’t know we have to work hard
at school and at home.
Take a look at a typical grade 7 student like Hoa.
She has five periods a day, six days a week. That
is about 20 hours a week - fewer hours than any
worker. But that is not all. Hoa is a keen student
and she studies hard. She has about 12 hours of
homework every week . She also has to review
her work before tests. This makes her working
week about 45 hours. This is more than some
workers. Students like Hoa are definitely not lazy!


*Check the prediction.
1. Hoa has 5 periods a day.

2. She goes to school 6 days a week.
3. She works 20 hours a week.
4. She has about 12 hours of homework every week.
5. She works about 45 hours a week before tests.
