UNIT 7 : THE WORLD OF WORK – Lesson 3 : A.4
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 homework 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!
