Conversation
Sumon: Anik, have you done today’s mathematics homework?
Anik: Not yet, Sumon. I will copy it from someone in the morning.
Sumon: Copying? That is a very bad habit, Anik.
Anik: Why? The teacher only checks whether the work is done or not.
Sumon: But homework is not for the teacher. It is for our own practice.
Anik: What do you mean?
Sumon: When we do homework ourselves, we understand the lesson and remember it for long.
Anik: So homework helps us in the examination?
Sumon: Certainly. The questions of the exam usually come from the lessons we practise at home.
Anik: I see. That is why the toppers of our class always do their homework daily.
Sumon: Exactly. Homework also keeps our mind active and builds the habit of regular study.
Anik: But sometimes the homework is too difficult, and I cannot solve it alone.
Sumon: Then ask the teacher or an elder brother or sister for help. That is not copying.
Anik: That is a good idea. I will try to solve difficult sums with my elder sister.
Sumon: And never leave homework for the last moment. Do it in the evening of the same day.
Anik: From today, I will do my homework regularly and finish it before playing.
Sumon: That is the right decision. Remember, homework is the stepping-stone to success.
Anik: Thank you, Sumon. Your advice has opened my eyes.
