숙제는 건강에 해롭다

■ 제시문

I think homework is stressful for everyone. For example, teachers are stressed about their students who don't do their homework, students have stress about their parents who scold them too much, and parents have headaches over their sons and daughters. Of course, I don't think all homework is harmful for students. It's good, but I want to say when we know it, I don't want to repeat studying. Also, teachers should explain things to us more simply and with more fun. After that, all of us will love homework. Stress is very dangerous for our health, but when we smile and do homework, there won't be any stress in the world.
