For students, homework is part of their daily life. Starting from the early years, teachers will always give them something to do after school. But have you ever wondered who (1) invented homework and why?
A deep search of homework history dates back to Ancient Rome. It's said that around the 1st Century AD, a young teacher named Pliny, invented homework. Pliny asked his students to do at-home activities to (2) improve their speaking skills. (3) Another person who played an important role in the invention of homework is Horace Mann. He (4) brought the idea of homework from Germany to America in the 19th century. Later, the idea spread to other places of the world. He was once thought as “Father of Modern Homework”.
Homework was used to be a punishment for students. As education (5) developed, people begin to make good use of homework as a learning (6) tool. Usually, when students go back home from school, they might quickly (7) forget what their teachers have taught in class. So, homework is used to improve learning. Another (8) purpose of homework is to encourage the students to (9) manage their own after-school time. Besides, in order to get better scores, one must have proper knowledge about the subjects. The homework encourages students to practice the lessons.
Although no one exactly looks forward to doing homework, it is a necessary and important task that you can't (10) refuse. So face it bravely and get it done efficiently (高效地).
