I think there is no need to do homework in primary school. Some research has shown that students' grades do not improve when they have a lot of homework. This means they are w【1】 their time. So why not let students do something they like? They can learn a musical instrument or read books. This at least allows them to master a s【2】 and broaden their horizons（视野）.

Homework puts students under a lot of pressure. It is not good for kids' h【3】. They may easily get sick. Besides, homework often takes up too much of their free time.

So it is necessary for them to do homework, o【7】 they won't make any progress. Primary school studies are really important. They lay a foundation for future studies. If kids don't do well, it will have bad influence on their future.
