What do you think about homework?

Do you think your homework is necessary or just a waste of time? Do you think your homework should be restricted to the classroom and not done at home as well? Homework is an important thing in which you reinforce your weak points in some subjects.

In my opinion, homework is really a necessary component of learning. All students, in elementary school or high school or university, have to do homework to strengthen their weak points. Because as much as you do homework, you will know that subject better. I think that students can't understand everything during the lesson, even if they listen carefully. In addition, I am sure that not everybody listens 45 minutes sequentially to the teacher- so we need to prepare homework in order to understand the studied lesson clearly.

Moreover, there are 35-40 pupils in a class. In that case, the teacher cannot always teach the entire prepared lesson for different reasons like noise, delay, a big number of students etc. Therefore, the teacher should give homework- to complete what she didn't teach in class.

To conclude, I don't think students can learn better without having to prepare homework every day. Homework is an important part of our studying process that can't be given up.

Improving quality of life by damage, is it possible?

Did you ever think about space exploration? Do you encourage it or maybe you are against it? Do you think it can help us in someway or is it just unnecessary? There are people that want to reach space and they will do anything to achieve it. And what do you think? Is it worth the cost and the risk?

On the one hand, space exploration is an important thing for humanity. We can research the atmosphere's condition on Earth. Moreover, the searching for knowledge can improve our quality of life. For example, with the assistance of the researchers we can live on another planet.

On the other hand, space exploration can be a risk for humanity by damaging the surroundings.
In Addition, it could be very dangerous and a big risk for the researchers themselves. Also, it is a terrible waste of money, so why not use it for other researches, which don't damage the environment.

In conclusion, space explorations has a positive side and a negative side- like everything. In my opinion, in spite of the importance of this, we can't be busy with improving our quality of life by damaging the environment and risking people around.
