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 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 complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to children. The 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, West Germany and several other 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 school. Most people agree that the homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet and comfortable room is in a much better position than a pupil who does his homework in a small, noisy room with the television room. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children's homework. It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children. 1.according to the writer, many parents would like their children....

`1.` `D.` to do homework at school only

`-` Dẫn chứng: Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils have to repeat tasks which they have already done at school.

`2.` `A.` a lot of homework has not been planned properly

`-` Dẫn chứng: Moreover, they argue that most teachers do not properly plan homework tasks they give to pupils.

`3.` `C.` their children's homework was useless

`-` Dẫn chứng: Recently in Greece many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it.

`4.` `B.` teachers cannot have their children do homework at weekends

`-` Dẫn chứng: In Denmark, West Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers cannot set homework at weekends.

`5.` `D.` All parents show great interest in their children's homework

`-` Giải thích: Chọn câu phát biểu không đúng sự thật ....

`-` Dẫn chứng: Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children's homework.

`-` Không phải tất cả các bậc phụ huynh nào cũng đều tỏ ra quan tâm đến bài tập về nhà của các con. Một số phụ huynh thì giúp đỡ các con làm bài tập, còn một số còn lại thì không quan tâm. Vậy nên ta có thể thấy đáp án `D` đã đưa ra phát biểu không đúng.

`-` Ta xét các đáp án còn lại:

`+` Đáp án `A.` Teachers should advise the parents about how to work together with their children at home. 

`-` Dẫn chứng: A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.

`-` Ở câu phát biểu ta hiểu rằng: Giáo viên nên tư vấn cho phụ huynh về cách làm việc cùng với con cái của họ ở nhà. Và cũng như trong đoạn trích có dẫn chứng đưa ra giáo viên nên gợi ý những nhiệm vụ phù hợp để cha mẹ cùng làm với con cái của họ. Bỏi vì họ có thể chỉ dạy con cái họ một cách tốt hơn. Ta thấy ở hai câu trên cũng đồng quan điểm với nhau vậy nên đáp án `A` là đúng.

`+` Đáp án `B.` Only a small number of people think homework is fair.

`-` Dẫn chứng: Most people agree that the homework is unfair.

`->` Ở câu trên chỉ đề cập rằng hầu hết chứ không phải tất cả vậy nên ta có thể nhận ra rằng vẫn còn một số bộ phận nhỏ cho rằng bài tập về nhà là công bằng với các em học sinh.

`+` Đáp án `C.` Children can do their homework at school and help each other in some schools in Britain.

`-` Dẫn chứng: 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 school.

`=>` Tạm dịch: Ở Hà Lan, giáo viên cho phép học sinh ở lại trường để làm bài tập về nhà. Các em được tự do giúp đỡ lẫn nhau. Sự sắp xếp tương tự cũng tồn tại ở một số trường học ở Anh.

`-` Ta dựa vào câu cuối: Sự sắp xếp tương tự cũng tồn tại ở một số trường học ở Anh. Nên ta dễ dàng nhận ra phương pháp mà những ngôi trường ở Hà Lan cho phép các em làm bài tập trên trường cũng như hỗ trợ và giúp đỡ lẫn nhau để hoàn thành bài tập cũng được áp dụng, sử dụng ở một số trường học nước Anh.
