Alex: We have so much homework this week. Do we really need homework?

Julie: Well… what do you think, Alex?

Alex: I don’t think we need homework.

Julie: Why not?

Alex: We already study hard all day at school. I’m on the soccer team, so I have practice after school. When I get home, I’m really tired. I want to relax.

Alex: What do you think, Julie?

Julie: I think that we need homework. It’s helpful to practice what we learned in class. Homework helps us remember and understand the information.

Alex: I guess that’s true. It good to review what you learned.

Julie: Exactly. Then, you can do better on tests. However, you shouldn’t study too hard.

Alex: Right. Taking breaks is also important.
