Read the below conversation. M: Hello? W: Hello. Is that Mr. Jackson? M: Yes, it is. W: Mr. Jackson. I am a reporter from the TV station at school. As far as I know, you are a very successful teacher and quite popular among the students, so I want to ask you some questions. M: OK. W: Do you often give homework to your students after class? M: It depends. Maybe once or twice a week. W: Do you think it is good for your students to do a lot of homework? M: No, I don't think so. Too much homework takes too much of their free time. I seldom give homework to my students on the weekend. They need time to relax and rest, especially on weekends. W: You are a great teacher. By the way, what do you do in your free time? M: I'm a very good football player. My team won first place in our city tournament last year. What would the listener say?
