Doing homework

It is a good idea to start your homework early. If you can do it before your evening meal, you
will have more time later to do things that you enjoy, like talking on the phone.

It is also better to do homework as soon as possible after the teacher has given it to you. Then,
if the homework is difficult and you need time to think about it, you will still have time to do it.
Always turn off your mobile phone and the television when you are doing homework. You will
work a lot faster without them. Make sure you have a quiet place to work, with enough light
and a comfortable chair.

Questions:

1. Is it good to do homework late or early?
2. When is it better for us to do homework?

3. Why do we have to turn off our mobile phone and the television when we are doing
homework?

In 1973, Gates was accepted at Harvard University. His parents were happy. They thought

he would get over his obsession with computers and become a lawyer like his father. Two years
later, Gates dropped out of Harvard to work on a computer program with his friend Allen.
They worked eighteen hours a day in a dormitory room at Harvard. They were writing the
program that would run one of the first personal computers. In 1975, they created a company
called Microsoft to sell their product.

Allen became ill with cancer and left Microsoft in 1983. He recovered a few years later and
started his own company. Meanwhile, Microsoft became a giant company. By 1990, at the age
