Answer 1

One possible version:
Homework or No Homework
Today, both students and parents are suffering from excessive homework. However, while the government is trying to relieve students’ burden, some parents complain about the small amount of homework and ask for more
Personally, I don’t think the function of homework can be ignored. Homework is a means for teachers to find out whether or not their students understand the lessons .What’s more, practice makes perfect. The more questions they practice, the less painful they fell during exams. To some extent, minimizing the amount of homework may encourage students to be lazy.
However, excessive homework is harmful. Students cannot enjoy their leisure time which is occupied by countless assignments and sometimes they have to copy homework from each other in order to finish it on time .All work and no play makes John a dull boy .Students should have more time for leisure activities like reading and sports.
On balance, homework is necessary but the amount must not be a burden for students.
