III. Reading Comprehension: 
A. Read the passage, then write True for True, F for False, for each of the sentences below, according to the information given. If the is not given, put a question mark (?).
Many people think that teachers give pupils too much homework. They say that it is unnecessary for children to work at home in their free time. Moreover, they are argue that most teachers don’t properly plan the homework tasks they give to pupils. The result is that pupils repeat tasks which they have already done at school
Recently in Greece, many parents complained about the difficult homework which teachers gave to their children. The parents said that most of the homework was a waste of time, and they wanted to stop it. Spain and Turkey are two countries which stopped homework recently. In Denmark, West Germany and several other countries in Europe, teachers can’t set homework at weekends. In Holland, teachers allow pupils to stay at school to do their homework. The children are free to help one another. Similar arrangements also exist some British schools.
Most people agree that homework is unfair. A pupil who can do his homework in a quiet an comfortable room is in a much better position than a pupil who does in a small, noisy room with TV on. Some parents help their children with their homework. Other parents take no interest at all in their children’s homework.
It is important, however, that teachers talk to parents about homework. A teacher should suggest suitable tasks for parents to do with their children. Parents are often better at teaching their own children.
26. Many teachers think that pupils should have homework.
27. Greek parents thought their children’s homework is too easy
28. A lot of homework has not been planed properly, according to many parents
29. In some countries in Europe teachers are allowed to give their children homework only at weekends
