3. Prediction
Guess the amount of time Hoa spends on her work
Hoa goes to school days a week.
She has periods a day.
She works hours a week.
She has about hours of homework every week.
Before tests she works ------ hours a week.
Many people think that students have an
easy life : We only work a few hours a
day and have long vacations. They don’t
know we have to work hard at school and at home.

Take a look at a typical grade 7 student like Hoa. She has five periods a day, six days a week. That is about 20 hours a week - fewer hours than any worker. But that is not all. Hoa is a keen student and she studies hard. She has about 12 hours of work every week . She also has to review her work before tests. This makes her working week about 45 hours. This is more than some workers. Students like Hoa are definitely not lazy!
Read the text about Hoa :
Let’s check.
Hoa goes to school days a week.
