These days, it’s not unusual for teachers to give homework on apps. For example, students are asked to practice English or do math exercises. Some teachers also use WeChat groups to give homework.

But now, the Ministry of Education is moving to ban (禁止) teachers from assigning homework on mobile apps due to concerns about students' eyesight. In 2018, more than 70 percent of middle school students in China were found to be nearsighted, according to the World Health Organization. Using mobile phones for long periods of time is bad for our eyes.

Do students like to do their homework on the phones?

Pros(正方)

Wang Yidi,15

The apps have big databases(数据库)of math exercises!

And students can correct their answers easily. Besides students can enlarge their knowledge because of plenty of information on the phone. What's more, with the monitor, students have no choice but to finish their homework on time.

Zhou Tianyi,14

I think it's fun to do homework with apps. The teachers ask students to dub English videos and make their own short videos. Gradually, it can make them more interested in English. Meanwhile, their spoken English can improve a lot.

Cons(反方)

Zhang Keqi,14

Sometimes the apps can't recognize (识别) what students are reading in English. They have to work on them for a long time to get a high score. What's more, their eyesight has gotten worse since they started using apps to do their homework.

Xu Jiaqian,15

I don't think it's a good way to do homework on the phones. Students are too young to control themselves.

They can't help playing on other apps while doing homework. And if they also have lots of other homework to do, it's too much for them to finish.
