Let’s face it: homework can be almost as frustrating (沮丧) for parents as it is for kids. Getting kids to do their homework can be a challenge, and when they do sit down to study, a lot of other problems can appear.

Doing homework may not be as fun as playing video games or chatting with friends, but it shouldn’t be something that kids hate. Your children’s assignments (任务) should help them build a skill or learn something new.

You can help by being a homework monitor, stepping in to answer questions or offer encouragement. This gives you a chance to see what they are learning and how well they understand the material. It helps you understand their learning style and shows you care about their education.

Many kids refuse to study by asking why they have to learn things they’ll never use in real life. If your son or daughter shows little interest in their assignments, you can make them seem more important by pointing out ways you use them in daily life.

If parents feel that their kids are overloaded (超负荷), they can talk about it with the teachers. If you think it takes your child too long to finish homework, try to make a decision whether the problem lies in having too much work or managing time poorly.

If your child complains of boredom while doing homework, give him or her the following suggestions:

Get help from friends: if your children are bored with an assignment, let them call a friend for help or invite a friend over to work on it with them.

Add physical activity: set mini-goals for homework and allow time for relaxing, jumping around, or a snack after each goal is completed. For a kid who can’t sit still, find active ways to study.

Turn the tables: let your children teach you a lesson. Let them give you a test on the things they have just learned.

Do you think you're green? You're a totally modern citizen, aren't you? You keep your bottles and take them to the bottle bank. You have a black bin and a green bin, one for general waste and one for recyclable waste. Your car uses lead—free petrol. You use the same plastic bag every time you go to the supermarket. Maybe you even cycle to work from time to time. You are playing your part; you are green and environment-friendly. Well, I've got news for you:

YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!

If you don't believe me, look at these facts. Trust me, they're from a BBC website.

• On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every seven weeks.

• Every year, the average dustbin contains enough unused energy for 500 hot baths, 3,500 hot showers or 5,000 hours of television.

• Every UK household produces over one tonne of rubbish every year.

• If all the aluminium drink cans sold in the UK were recycled, there would be 14 million fewer full dustbins per year.

• Just one recycled aluminium can saves enough energy to run a television for three hours!

• At Christmas over 83 square kilometres of wrapping paper is thrown in the bin.

• Almost three billion nappies (used for baby) are thrown away in the UK every year. 90% of these are buried and take hundreds of years to disappear.

Have I made you believe that you need to do more? No? OK, here are one or two more facts.

•Recycling just one plastic bottle saves enough energy to power a light bulb for six hours.

•Collecting dustbins and cleaning streets costs £1. 6 billion per year.

Surely you must believe me now. You need to do more. The good news is that there is some- thing else you can do.

Mark Twain, as you know, was famous in his day as a public speaker. In his public speeches, he always liked to tell funny(可笑的) stories. He also liked to listen to funny stories and to play jokes on his friends. One day one of his friends lost his wallet and asked Mark Twain to pay his train fare (费用)for him.

"We can do this," said Mark Twain. "We can get on the train and when the conductor comes to check the ticket, you can hide under my seat."

Later, however, when the conductor came to check the tickets, Mark Twain gave him two tickets - one for himself and one for his friend. Then he explained in a loud voice,
