Homework isn't a waste of time
Homework is defiantly not a waste of time. Studies shown homework can make you smarter and more successful in life. A wise man once said "were doing our homework to make sure we're prepared." This quote is in fact true. In life there will be many obstacles in front of you and some you might have trouble getting through. So this is why being prepared can help you make life easier. One of the main essentials to
make life easier is something called homework.
Homework improves your skills at a certain subject you might not be doing well at. For example, a student might be failing a subject, like language. This student can improve their grade by studying and reviewing homework to get a better understanding of things. Homework can give less stress and more confidence in class while doing work, especially tests. Homework is shown to reduce the risk of failing atest.
Homework prevents student from wasting their night watching TV, playing computer games etc. homework gives students an effective way to spend their school nights. It helps exercise your brain and
refreshes it with brand new information you might need for after.
Also, homework helps your remember what you've learned at school during the previous day. This is also a great way to get students more focused in school and tests. Instead of trying to beat level 10 on a
game, or watching the newest episode on your favourite TV show you can study for a better future.
Homework is a very important part of education, and helps students review on what they've learned at school so far. Just as I said in my first paragraph, homework can improve your skills at any subject you
have trouble with.
Homework allows students to work independently. It allows students to try and figure out on their own on how to work specific homework problems. It also shows teachers how the student understands each
subject. It helps students become more independent when they got older and get a job so they don't have to rely on other people to help them.
"Success doesn't come to you, you go to it." "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." "The difference between school and life: In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson." All these quotes are about success and how homework is an essential key to life that can help yousucceed. I'm pretty sure there will be reasons against my opinions but
if I could sum this all up I'd say: Homework is not a waste of time.
If I could sum this all up, I would say that you have a really special talent of writing. In my honest opinion, you used reliable reasons and amazing quotes that prove to me that homework is not a waste of time. Yes, it is true that you have to work to reach success, its true that success doesn't come to you. Homework does give you independence and a chance to work on your curriculum. What an amazing essay!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to change anything, I would be a little more clear about the reasons. For example, you said homework prevents you from wasting your time watching television, but why?
Overall of this, you a great writer! Amazing job Anita!
Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteI think you did an excellent job on this essay. You stated your opinions clearly and I like how you restated your conclusion and used many quotes to support. I wasn't sure if this was a spelling mistake in your first quote in the introduction, but I think you should of spelled it as we're not were. I also think that you should have had a stronger clincher. Other than that, very well done essay.
Hey Anita! Your persuasive essay is honestly great! I like how you added quotes in your introduction and in your conclusion. In addition,I really like your introduction,I'm sure that many people would keep reading because of the hook in your introduction. One thing that you should work on is to break it up into three body paragraphs with one reason to support your opinion. Overall,this is really good!
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteYour essay was fantastic. I like how you added a bunch of quotes in not only your introduction but also your conclusion. It supported your reasons on why you thought 'homework is not a waste of time.' The hook to your essay was attention grabbing. Something you might want to try improving on is re-reading your essay because there are some grammar mistakes. Also, you might want to try giving more detail to each of the reasons you stated in your essay. Other then those little mistakes, your essay was wonderful.
