Do you want to make homework simpler? It can be done readily with a little guidance from specialists (专家) in this field. Oxford Learning founder and CEO Dr. Nick Whitehead said that homework doesn’t always have to be a headache. “Homework might be an unavoidable (不可避免的) part of school, but it doesn’t have to be the boring part. With the right skills in place, students can turn homework from headache-including to trouble-free.” These steps will make an obvious difference.

Use your notebooks

The brain is able to finish great works, but it is not perfect. Students should never rely on (依赖) it to remember all school details. When a teacher assigns homework, students should write the details in their notebooks. Many schools provide notebooks because they are the best organizational tools available.

According to Whitehead, to make them effective, students need to remember to take the notebooks out of their school bags at night, open them up, and read over the night’s list.

Remove distractions (使注意力分散的事物)

Computers on, music on, text messages receiving … this is not multitasking, it’s distracting.

Whitehead says that unless students are doing research, they should turn off all electronics and focus on the task at hand for a set period of time. They’ll find that it is easier to concentrate (全神贯注) and that homework takes less time. He adds that this fact has been confirmed by studies.

Think actively

Getting homework done is the name of the game, but what happens if students are struggling with a question, or can’t work out an answer? When facing difficulties, it is wise for the student to take a small break then return to look at the problem again.

According to Whitehead, students should look up their textbooks and school notes, take a step back to ask what the particular unit is all about, and even move ahead a few questions and see if the next part can help explain a little better. If not, use the Internet.

“Don’t stare at (盯着) the question; ask how this question relates to what is being learned overall.” he says.

Get organized

Homework is as much a part of daily routine as waking up in the morning and going to bed at night, but it’s often the most disorganized part. Whitehead recommends streamlining (使合理化) the process.“Students should keep all the homework-related things in a bin or a bucket so they don’t waste time searching for pens or rulers.” He also recommends picking the same place to do homework every night, and (when possible) completing homework at the same time each day.

Jenny wasn't interested in playing the piano. She liked writing stories and acting them out with her friends. But Mrs Windsor gave her piano lessons for free, so she felt she should have a try. Every Sunday she had her piano lessons in Mrs Windsor's house.

One Sunday morning, Jenny walked into Mrs Windsor's music room and sat down on the piano bench as usual.

"Hello," Jenny heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw a young girl.

"What's your name?" The girl asked.

Before Jenny could answer, Mrs Windsor walked in and said, "Jenny, this is my niece (侄女), Pasha. Pasha, this is Jenny. I need to go to hospital, so Pasha will give you your lesson today."

Pasha sat beside Jenny on the piano bench and asked, "What piece do you like best?"

"I don't know," Jenny said. "They're all the same to me."

"You mean you don't have a favourite?" Pasha was surprised.

"No, not really," Jenny said.

Pasha opened Jenny's music book and asked Jenny to play.

After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of Jenny's. Jenny stopped. Then Pasha said, "Jenny, what are you hearing in the music?" Jenny looked at Pasha strangely.

"I don't know," Jenny said.

"Let me try and you listen," Pasha said. "All you have to do is learn to hear the stories in the music."

"I' ve never thought of it that way," Jenny said.

"let's try together, shall we?" Pasha smiled. Together they played that afternoon and tried to find the story in the music. That day Jenny found playing the piano was not that difficult.
