One possible version: Look at this picture. You will understand better “Too much work makes Jack a dull boy”. He has to go to so many training classes besides his school classes. Life is no fun at all for him. Holidays and weekends have become dull work-days. He is too tired to learn these lessons well with no interest. In my opinion, spare-time training courses are a waste of time for many students. They might do better when they show interest in what they are learning. I hope the teachers and parents don’t force them students to do what they are not willing to, when learning is fun, surely they will do better than we expect!

Homework 根据图画内容，以 “We Want Our Schoolbags Lighter” 题，用英语写一篇 150 词左右的短文。短文 须包括以下要点，不得逐 条翻译。 1. 简单描述漫画的内容； 2. 作业负担过重； 3. 精讲精练； 4. 参加体育锻炼和社会活 动。

Describe the picture 1.What does the girl look like ? 2.What is the woman doing? 3.What did the girl say to the woman? 4.What does a phenomenon exist in China about the students’ lessons and homework? 5.What do the students do every day? 6.What do the students wish their teachers to do? 7.What do the students want to do if they have spare time?

We Want Our Schoolbags Lighter The picture shows that a girl is wearing a pair of glasses and carrying a big heavy schoolbag, and a woman is doing some exercise. The girl says to the woman, “If you carry the schoolbag for me, I’m sure you will lose some weight.” As is well-known, we Chinese students are overburdened with lessons and homework which our teachers have given us. All that we do every day is to listen to our teachers’ lessons, to take notes and do our homework which seems endless. One possible version:

We do hope our teachers will help us get more knowledge with fewer lectures, exercises and less homework. Only in this way will we have spare time to do more physical exercise and make us stronger, and we will have more spare time to take part in some social activities, which makes us all mentally and physically healthier.
