Problem: W: Hello. Is that Mr. Jackson? M: Yes, it is. W: Mr. Jackson. I am a reporter from the TV station at our 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 about your teaching and your students. M: OK. W: First question, 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. W: Do you agree the students need a lot of exercises in their spare time? M: Well, yes, but they also need time to relax and have a 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 the first place in our city last year. W: Congratulations! Well, thank you for your help.
