I’m Wang Tao. I’m writing to tell you my opinion about employ a foreign language teacher.

There are two factor to think over. For one thing, the sense of a humor is necessary for a teacher, who can make the class interesting and lively. For another, the teacher’s ability speak Chinese matters much. Because with the help of Chinese he and students can communicate with each other smooth.

Various of after-school activities, such as the English Evening and English Corner, should be organizing by the foreign language teacher. This would bring the students more chances to communicate with the teacher and improve his oral English.

Yours,

Wang Tao

   It’s school time again！You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little afraid on the first day of school because of all the new things:new teachers，new friends，and even a new school. Luckily，these“new”worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.

Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing this year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class，too. When teachers do the talking on the first day，they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.

You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!

Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of shoes. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. Therefore, make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

The Case for and Against Homework

Homework is typically defined as" any tasks given to students by school teachers that are meant to be carried out during afterschool hours". Homework has been a hot topic of debate in education. Throughout the first decade of the 20th century, educators commonly believed that homework helped create disciplined（遵守纪律的）minds. 【小题1】Since then, arguments for and against homework have continued to grow.

A number of studies have been carried out on homework. Two analyses by Cooper and his colleagues are the most comprehensive（全面的）.They concluded that the relationship between homework and students' achievements was found to be positive. 【小题2】

【小题3】The authors of How Homework Is Hurting Our Children and What We Can Do About It criticized both the quantity and quality of homework. They provided evidence that too much homework harms students’ health and family time. They insisted that teachers reduce the amount of homework and avoid homework over breaks and holidays.

One of the most controversial（有争议的）problems in the homework debate is the amount of time students should spend on homework. Researchers have offered various suggestions.【小题4】 Another question regarding homework is the degree to which schools should involve parents. Some studies have reported minimal positive effects or even negative effects of parental involvement.【小题5】

Finally, homework should cause students and their parents or other family members to take part in conversations and thus help the students' learning.
