Homework is a necessary evil. It is a necessary evil because it prevents you from doing other things that you could or should do while you are reading, studying, and thinking. You might think that your assignment is very easy but you might be surprised if you ever had to do a real-life homework with real-life problems. So does homework mean that you have to do it every night?
Simply put, homework means time spent doing something that is not so enjoyable. It means time spent doing something that does not promote self-discipline. Remember the first rule of time management: the more you do something, the less time it will require you to do it. And the less time you spend doing it, the more time you will have to enjoy the things you are reading, studying or thinking about.
There are various ways to approach homework. It could be done by dividing it into several small tasks that must be done before the main task of reading, writing or thinking can be achieved. These small tasks could be made into a game that the student must play (perhaps by using a small board such as a jigsaw puzzle) and then after completing them, the student must answer an assessment about the word they just read, the paragraph they read, or the essay they just read.
Now you have thought about the homework you will have to do and now you know what the assignment entails. So, what does homework mean? According to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, “a formal, official, written agreement concerning the behavior of a student.” So, what this means is that the student must agree with the teacher on all aspects of the assignment, particularly regarding the definition of the word. The teacher may also want the student to write down some answers for the tests.
So what do I read? In the Merriam Webster’s dictionary, homework means “to do work or to do something before the maintenance of the class is completed” Therefore, you should begin by reading the assignment and seeing whether it covers all the areas you need to know. Next you should read other texts related to the word you studied so that you get an idea of what other people actually do when they use the word “word.” If you cannot find any references in the text, you can ask the teacher.
What do you do next? The next thing you should do is to ask yourself if you understand the meaning of the word you found. Remember that learning languages is not about memorizing words but about understanding how the words are used. If you do not grasp the meaning of the word, you will be unable to understand what you are reading and thus you will fail the assignment.
When you understand the meaning of the word, you will also see that the word is commonly used. This will make you understand that it is not difficult to learn a new word. It just requires time, patience and hard work. Once you know the meaning of the word, you should begin to use it in your sentences. So, always try to cover as much ground as possible and you will do well in school.
