As options for secondary education increase, a trend of enrolling at gifted high schools seems to have emerged.

In my
opinion, the advantages offered by these schools are what drive numerous students to opt for it. Firstly, a gifted high
school offers students peers with similar interests that can be conducive to their education. By studying with friends,
one's overall understanding of a subject and academic performance can further improve. Moreover, with such peers, a
student may encounter more opportunities that can be of benefit to him or her. For instance, one may hear of a
standardized test such as the SAT, which various colleges use to assess students’ capabilities, from their friends.
Secondly, the environment that students experience in such schools can be a merit. Gifted high schools are likely to
have high-achieving students that can act as role models to others, inducing those students to work harder and
receive better academic results. In summary, gifted high schools offer their students a variety of advantages, namely
peers having common interests and a beneficial environment.

For a long time, homework has been widely regarded as an integral part of a well-rounded education and the learning
process in general, thanks to the enormous benefits it offers students. Firstly, homework encourages learners to
revise their lessons, enabling them to thoroughly grasp the core ideas of those concepts and fulfill their assignments
more competently. Since schoolwork is based on the utilization of learned knowledge to complete more advanced
tasks, students are stimulated to hone their academic skills, thus understanding their subjects more deeply. As a
result, they tend to perform better in academic tests, opening them up to various career paths. Secondly, homework
develops students’ numerous soft skills, especially time management skills. Oftentimes, learners typically have to face
various tasks from different subjects at the same time, which promotes decent time-management skills such as
planning a schedule or identifying priorities. Such capabilities are crucial in the hustling society of today, where people
are expected to handle heavy workloads. In conclusion, homework is effective for students to revise their knowledge
and improve their soft skills. Therefore, schoolwork should be utilized to its full potential by both teachers and
students.

- The writing should be more concise.

In recent times, due to the desirability to study at elite high schools growing exponentially, many students believe
choosing an elite high school for education is the best choice without careful consideration of certain flaws. To begin
with, although advanced high schools do offer higher level of education, these academic programs are mostly meant
for academically gifted pupils. As a result, students who qualified through either loopholes, family status, or sheer luck,
may struggle immensely during the school course. In turn, leading to the aforementioned students to fail classes, and
eventually failing to progress to the next grade. Correspondingly, the terrible academic achievements can leave a bad
stain on the student's resume, even though they studied at an elite high school. Additionally, studying at advanced
high schools without the necessary intellectual prowess will only place more pressure onto the pupil. Consequently,
leaving the pupil to feel as if they were left behind academically. In conclusion, while elite high schools, in fact, offer a
better educational program, these programs are only meant for highly intellectual students. Subsequently, creating an
uphill battle for not as gifted students.

Most 9th graders aim to get into a gifted high school, despite not knowing about the drawbacks of studying in one.
First off, applying for a gifted high school often means sky high expectations from both peers and parents. Parents
who believe their children possess academic talents might push them too hard and neglect other aspects also vital to
their growth such as recreational activities. Berating children when their academic scores don't meet a certain criteria
is still an accepted and rather ubiquitous method of "education", leading to a deterioration of mental health and
potentially self-harm in students during the most unstable period of childhood. Being surrounded by acclamation also
poses a threat to students' mental health when they aren't able to keep consistently high results. Secondly, there's
also the misconception of the quality of education being higher in gifted high schools. While These schools offer a
substantially harder program to follow, but often overlook the importance of the method of teaching. Giving students
hard worksheets and show the answers later isn't interactive nor engaging for students, and yet so many teachers
nowadays adopt this style of teaching. Education should be about trying to make students understand, not let them
figure out on their own. All in all, gifted high schools might not be for everyone and students should be more aware of
the struggles when attending one.

Homework is crucial to a student's life due to its benefits. Firstly, homework teaches the students to study and work
independently. When doing homework, students will have to figure out how to do things correctly without the help of
teachers. This will promote self-learning for pupils. Eventually, a student's academic score will gradually improve.
Secondly, homework makes the students learn the importance of time management. When students are assigned a
lot of homework, they will have to schedule when to start doing each and also finish it before the deadlines. Therefore,
it helps the student to manage their time better. Finally, homework builds a positive learning attitude for students.
Homework helps develop healthy study habits, such as: doing homework daily, completing homework before
entertainment, preparing for the next class... Homework serves as an opportunity for students to learn new things,
rather than a burden that needs to be done. In conclusion, homework is beneficial to students in many ways and
significantly contributes to a student's educational approach.

In recent years, there has been a matter of major controversy over whether gifted schools should be eliminated.
Although they offer certain benefits to both teachers and learners, they also create a divide among students and put
unnecessary pressure on their pupils. To begin with, gifted programs by their nature promote segregation, for they
label each student either talented or not. This division may create an unhealthy environment for development where
students not selected into gifted schools feel inferior to those who do and doubt their own potential. This conception is
highly undesirable at such an early stage of life because it impedes their learning progress. Furthermore, advanced
students in gifted schools would earn a reputation for being intelligent, which places an intense amount of pressure
upon them. In many cases, the duty to uphold this reputation causes them to overwork themselves, which in the long
run would culminate in mental illnesses. In conclusion, while gifted schools have several advantages, they create
segregation and place an immense academic burden on their students who learn there.

is superior to any others, which is a springboard for each student’s successful future. An additional merit of being a
student in an elite school is its high-standard-educating environment. To be more specific, students may have new
friends, who are their parallel fellows. From this, one could learn not only from teachers but also from their friends and
accrue more experiences. In conclusion, to a certain degree, it is fair to say that there are plenty of advantages that
students can benefit from in gifted schools.

In my opinion, students can gain numerous skills by doing homework. Firstly, homework teaches students how to
manage their time, as they know when it is due and how much time is left to complete it without interfering with their
free time. They can also learn to prioritize their time more effectively. For instance, a student with five assignments will
do the one closest to due first. Secondly, homework helps students revise study materials on their timetable. This
allows students to go through courses again if necessary or to take their time to ensure they thoroughly comprehend
them before moving on. Therefore, this cultivates good study habits and encourages in-depth comprehension of the
concepts. Finally, homework promotes student independence, because when students complete projects on their own,
they learn to take responsibility for their learning and become more self-sufficient. To sum up, homework provides
essential skills for students' future careers.

Nowadays, an increasing number of students desire to enter a high school for the gifted due to its numerous benefits,
which will be discussed below. Firstly, studying at an elite high school gives students many edges in their academic
development over ordinary schools. When surrounded by outstanding friends, students must exert themselves to keep
pace with their classmates, which positively affects their academic performance. Secondly, one may be equipped with
a host of societal skills when partaking in after-school activities. It is undeniable that there is a wide variety of
extracurricular activities at gifted high schools which provides pupils with skills such as leadership, teamwork, critical
thinking and problem-solving since they have to collaborate with other students to conduct their projects. Finally,
students can gain access to many opportunities associated with their future universities. If one longs for a scholarship
to study abroad, it is advantageous to them because the admissions committee of overseas universities has the
propensity to favor candidates coming from gifted high schools. Moreover, many domestic universities give gifted
students direct admission on condition that they prefer to study domestically. In conclusion, owing to these
aforementioned arguments, there seems to yield a plenitude of benefits to study in a gifted milieu.

The concept of students working on exercises given by the teacher at a different location other than their school has
always been a rudimentary component in the process of education for as long as us humans have known it. In this
paragraph, I will discuss the overall positive influence of homework towards scholars. First and foremost, schoolwork
is able to aid students in remembering knowledge that has been taught to them at their respective educational
institute. The main purpose of homework is to reinforce students’ grasp of the subject they are studying. Moreover,
due to the nature of the majority of curriculums, teachers are often not given adequate time to thoroughly cover every
single aspect of a particular subject, therefore schoolwork acts as a competent medium to offer scholars opportunities
to master the topic. Another reason why homework is a crucial element of a student’s educational experience is that it
bolsters several vital skills. In order to be able to complete their schoolwork before the requisite deadline, it is essential
for students to figure out how to balance the time it takes to finish those assignments with other aspects of life. This
process of trial and error helps them develop certain skills such as time management and problem solving, which will
undoubtedly come in handy in their future careers. Last but not least, homework also acts as a gateway to connect
teachers, parents and students. Through the means of schoolwork, teachers are able to understand the relative
aptitude of the scholar and have a better grasp on which areas the student excels at as well as which ones the student
needs improvement in, enabling them to adapt and adjust to their students’ needs more suitably. Furthermore, parents
are also able to see what their children have been learning at school and make an effort to address any inquiries they
might have. On the whole, homework is an incredibly important factor in the academic experience due to it reinforcing
the lessons learnt at school, supplying students with practical skills like time management and problem solving, as well
as providing a method for teachers and parents to become more involved with the scholars’ studies.

Admission to a gifted high school, which is the aspiration of millions of students, is credited with engendering
considerable benefits. It goes without saying that compared to a normal standard high school, an elite high school

candidates sharing equitable stipulation through entrance examinations, gifted high school can precisely opt for
competent students. Hence, mutual purposes of life can help them simply get on with each other, share similar

Topic: The benefits of studying at a gifted high school
Studying at a gifted high schools is an exceptional environment for students to cultivate knowledge and soft skills due
to the following reasons. Firstly, learning at a selective high school is likely to increase children’s future employability.
Those educational institutions have the tendency to adopt numerous gifted learning programs with advanced
instructions from well-trained teachers, which provide students with specialized education about the subjects that they
excel in. As a result, the knowledge learners acquire during attending high school can be a comprehensive
preparation that simplifies the interviewing process as they have already had a good command in their professional
fields. Secondly, gifted high school is a friendly and secure environment for students to fully fulfil their potential. Since
the entrance examination is a strict method to select most high-qualified students, learners tend to have the
opportunity to study with knowledgeable and determined pupils, which creates a welcoming environment for students
to support others and change for the better. Moreover, studying at gifted school also means facing with less social
evils such as bullying or the usage of vape as students at those schools mostly have good conduct throughout
secondary schools. To summarize, studying at a gifted high school is beneficial to children in terms of their further
professional development and overall well-being.

Nowadays, the issue of education has gained widespread attention from the public, and homework is also included in
the discussion. Although Many people think that homework assignments should be abolished; however, I disagree
with this opinion. I believe that homework plays an important role in ensuring the learning efficiency of students, as
they give an overall revision and practice of the theory students are taught at school. First and foremost, handouts
help juveniles revise all the information they get during lessons. Many students tend to forget that information they
receive in class if they just hear about it once only; therefore, if they complete their homework as a second look
through theories, they would memorize the information better. Besides, homework also acts as practise for the
mundane theories they learn in class. Frequently, there is not enough time for educators to cover both information and
practise in a period. When doing assignments, students can apply the theories they learn during lessons to the
exercises they solve, and therefore help them absorb the knowledge more effectively. In conclusion, I think that
homework is very beneficial for students, and they should make an effort to complete their homework adequately.

When gifted schools come to one’s mind, they might think it’s the best environment to study, make connections, and
cultivate the mind. Though studying at a gifted school brings people numerous benefits, there are some dark twists
that are hidden underneath the glimmering reputation of gifted academies. On one hand, being at such a great
condition allows students to even develop their favorite skills and subjects even further. It can also lift the weight off of
students with getting into universities and getting a job in the future. Additionally, dedicated gifted schools enable
students to study with their peers and teachers who have similar interests and abilities to them. Teachers can create a
lively atmosphere, while classmates can encourage and help each other throughout the school year. However, on the
other hand, there are two sides of a coin. It can put extreme pressure and expectations on a student. Being in an
gifted program with high-achieving peers that have varying academic strengths can make students may feel stressed
because they don’t excel everything. On top of that, if they only study without social interaction, it can lead to anxiety,
depression, and low self-worth. To sum it up, studying at a gifted school education has equal disadvantages and

Education is a core foundation for youngsters' growth and social development. Therefore, elite education is formed to
provide an exclusive and prestigious environment for candidates from privileged backgrounds. All that said, even with
its top-notch infrastructural and academic qualities, these schools have several drawbacks. First off, the whole concept
of elite education perpetuates and, in a way, encourages social inequality as a whole. It is known that these esteemed
institutions often greet students from affluent families with open arms but prove to be hesitant to accept young and
aspiring kids from less wealthy backgrounds. As a result, this has shed even more light on the prominent gap between
the rich and the poor. As such, young ones from public schools may feel inferior to those who went to high-end
schools because of their families' incapability to financially support this education. Secondly, the elite school
environment may lack diversity in mindsets and opinions is evidently lacking with such a selective class of scholars.
Undeniably, the similarity in each teenager's society and economic circumstances creates little space for innovative
thinking and instant problem-solving skills, further hindering the development of a well-rounded individual, suitable to
acclimatize to the ever-changing world. All in all, despite its astonishing benefits to students, the perpetuation of unfair
treatment to contrasting classes in societies paired with the absence of variety and diversity on academy grounds are
clear downsides.

It is generally acknowledged that doing homework benefits students. To begin with, homework act as a revision for the
knowledge students have gained from previous lectures. Researches shows that students only retain half of the
knowledge taught in school; therefore, doing homework allows them to memorize it and put it into practice.
Additionally, as students keep a habit of doing homework, they progressively build up critical abilities, such as
research and reading habits, task and time management and autonomous learning. Moreover, these abilities
encourage accountability, discipline, self-direction and independent problem-solving - vital skills required in their future
career paths. Lastly, homework is a form of response to how much students have grasped from lectures. Teachers
modify their teaching methods to comply with students' progress based on these responses. Given this, it may be
concluded that it is essential for students to do homework as it provides a variety of benefits for them.

In discussion of the advantages of homework today, many believe that homework is the key to the student's academic
success. Personally, I strongly support this opinion due to the following reasons. First and foremost, a student will be
more likely to memorize and perform better academically if homework is given out to them. Since the students must be
able to comprehend the materials at school to do their homework, they will ask more questions and will also pay more
attention in their studies. Secondly, students will also be more disciplined and be able to perform independent
problem-solving, which is incredibly important in modern-day society. In addition to this, students will have to know
how to appropriately manage their time so that they can perform both their social lives and academic studies. This will
also give students a sense of accountability which will benefit them in the future. However, teachers should also take
the pressure that students might get from finishing their assignments into consideration, and should try to give them an
enough amount of work that can be completed in a short notice. In conclusion, the right amount of homework will
greatly help students in understanding materials at school.

A gifted high school is a high-quality educational institution which differs from others in that its students could attend
specialized courses on certain subjects. This type of school proves beneficial to its students for two main reasons.
One considerable benefit of a gifted high school is its ideal environment for students to augment their knowledge and
conquer competitions. In these schools, a greater emphasis is placed on the specialized subject and thus experienced
teachers could teach curricula geared towards excellent individuals. This means that students who want to compete in
nationwide or international competitions could stand a better chance of winning. For instance, both of the two
Vietnamese gold medalists in the 2023 IMO(International Mathematical Olympiad) are individuals from gifted high
schools students. In conjunction with that benefit, gifted high schools also enable students to better pursue their
professional careers or intellectual jobs. Due to their prior knowledge of the subject in high school, students of gifted
high schools could excel in university and achieve high GPAs for their CVs, they could also supply the demand for
intellectual job positions such as mathematicians or geologists. In short, gifted high schools offer considerable
advantages and one should refer to them when choosing a high school for education.

Nowadays, the advantages of assigning homework to students are controversial. In my opinion, homework has some
following significant benefits. First of all, assigning homework is a great way to practice self-discipline and
responsibility in children because at home, teachers cannot supervise children doing homework like in class. At that
time, students learn and do exercises completely based on their self-consciousness. If adults pay attention and praise,
it will stimulate children to promote this spirit. Since then, the child has become a person with a high sense of
responsibility and self-discipline. The next advantage of doing homework is that it will help students prepare better for
final exams. If students do not do well on assignments then they will learn how to do better in future exams without
penalty. Doing homework is also a way to provide students with the opportunity to practice things that will help them
be more successful in school. Last but not least, homework also help parents know the learning status of their
children. Homework likes an information channel to help parents update and monitor their child's classroom learning
because through homework, parents know the results of the test and the knowledge their children are learning in
class. From this, parents can suggest ways to tutor and guide their children more effectively. In conclusion, homework
has very important role in the education and learning of the students.

Nowadays, many students aspire to attend elite high schools in virtue of the following factors. Firstly, gifted schools
have the optimal academic environment. The company of many a talented friend will exert supportive peer pressure
when students endeavor to emulate others' educational performance. Consequently, one will be given the essential
motivation and experience to hone his skills and ameliorate his weaknesses. In addition, teachers at these schools are
highly professional in pedagogic skills, therefore, students should be educated at a better standard. Secondly,
graduates from gifted high schools might be in favor if they apply for the opportunity to study abroad or scholarships
from domestic universities. This is partly because the scholastic achievements of such candidates are primarily

The advantages of attending a gifted high school are innumerable, and this paragraph will highlight a few of them. First
and foremost, those institutes can provide students with an optimal environment in which they can grow and foster
their inherently outstanding talents, thus facilitating them to pursue their own interests and ambitions. No matter how
talented an individual is, if he studies in a low-quality environment, he will be unable to reach his full potential.
Furthermore, in those schools, students will have an opportunity to meet and interact with their like-minded peers,
thereby mutually assisting others not only in academic endeavors but also in other fields. As a result, they can make
substantial progress, and gradually achieve their goals. Less educated students in the other institutes, on the other
hand, are apt to act more impulsively and thoughtlessly. Such demeanors may have an adverse influence on those
around them. To encapsulate, there are a plethora of merits of studying in a gifted high school.

Gifted high schools has always been a popular option for students who wish to pursue a higher level of learning in
their preparatory school years as it has proven to be beneficial in many ways. Firstly, the intensive environment would

better than them, it would provide healthy competition, hence enhancing their learning experience and allowing them

Becoming a top - notch student of a selective school is the ultimate goal of many secondary school students in this
day and age . From my perspective, the advantages of studying in gifted school are undeniable .To start with,
educational curricula in specialized schools nowadays are completely challenging and exhaustive even with excellent
students .Therefore, in order to keep up with schoolmates and obtain knowledge , one should be hardworking , which
means striving for full attendance in classes .As a result, it is likely that constant emulation in terms of academic in
gifted institutions might be a prelude for everlasting competitions in real world . Furthermore , the admission committee
are highly to show a preference for the gifted students in comparison to those in other school.This is because the level
of a student from ordinary school may not be on par with that of an top - notch students from a gifted school. This up to
the point that elite students have been recognized better than common pupils in both academic and extracurricular,
which lead to the bias from the committee . In conclusion, there are reasons why studying in a gifted institution is
considered to have a lot of benefits.

One of the most conspicuous topics these days is whether or not children should be given homework or not. While
some people argue that homework is detrimental to students, I believe it plays a crucial role in today’s education.
Firstly, homework helps children to improve their time management skills. Children can learn how to logically organize
their timetables as they have to finish their tasks on time. Doing homework enables them to divide and prioritize their
work effectively. Therefore, they can optimize their spare time for revision and self-teaching. Secondly, homework is
indispensable in encouraging self-learning and problem-solving. Being assigned homework after school, students can
apply their in-class knowledge themselves. In this way, they can develop their autodidactic skill and independent study
habits. This development is especially advantageous for students in higher education when mostly they have to take
ownership of their learning process. In brief, with these tangible proofs, homework will continue to benefit the next
generation in the future.

Aside from classwork, most schools provide students with homework to consolidate what they have learned and
further enhance their knowledge. Indeed, the method has certain advantages which benefit them greatly. First of all,
doing homework encourages self-learning, consequently improves students’ sense of responsibility, and teaches them
how to discipline themselves. Hence, it also gives them the opportunity to advance their critical thinking skills and
problem-solving abilities. Secondly, doing homework after school allows students to revise what they have learned in
class. According to research, students only remember approximately 46% of what they have been taught at school
after a day. Thus, in order for students to retain as much of the target knowledge as possible, it is important to revise
lessons after school. Doing homework makes sure that their knowledge is firmly consolidated. Homework also gives
the student a chance to revise with other classmates, providing the opportunities to ask questions, view different
perspectives, and give the students a better understanding of the subject. Finally, homework keeps students away
from their phones and computers, reducing screen time and promoting the productive use of time. All in all, homework
can improve students’ skills and knowledge, which is why it is very important.

In this day and age, parents are willing to dispense ample money for extra classes in the interest of getting their
children into a gifted high school for the following merits. To begin with, elite institutions provide learners with the one
of the finest studying conditions. Since these schools generally seek for the brightest pupils, teachers, therefore, are
required to establish effective teaching methods in order to encourage students to develop to their full potential.
Furthermore, learners are given the opportunity to refine practical social skills through extra-curricular activities that
the academy furnishes them with. Another logical reason is how noble schools allow pupils to focus on a preferred
subject by dividing the classes based on a particular subject. Accordingly, this is bound to assist in future
employments as the fact that an interviewee graduates from an elite institution is likely to make a substantial remark.
Yet, while making their best effort to maximize their skills, students maintain a brilliant performance in other subjects
notwithstanding. All in all, teenagers these days are constantly sharpening their knowledge for this unparalleled
opportunity of becoming a gifted high school student.

It must be admitted that homework plays an indispensable role in education nowadays. It helps students to develop
necessary skills both in and outside of school. First and foremost, homework gives pupils an oppoturnity to revise their
lessons more thoroughly. Doing homework every day enables them to recall the information they are taught at school;
therefore make them feel less stressful when they are studying for exams because they have less work to do then.
Moreover, it motivates students to study harder and try their best to achieve their goals. For example, if a secondary
school student wants to enrol in a gifted high school, he will have to finish his homework regularly to memorize what
he learnt in class more fully, thus allowing him to get excellent marks in exams and enrol in the high school he wants.
Subsequently, homework is an effective way to promotes students' self-studying ability. As students do their
homework without the supervision of their teachers, they have to find information themselves in order to complete the
assignments, thus improving their independence. Last but not least, it makes children learn the importance of time
management, which is an important skill needed in both their study and their future career. When children are
assigned homework, they will know its deadline and have to priortize their work so that they can complete it in time.
Based on the arguments cited above, it is evident that homework has numerous benefits to students which should not
be ignored.

These days, more and more parents are applying their children to gifted high schools rather than normal ones, as they
are claimed to be more beneficial to students. Related to their first benefit, it is obvious that in these schools, students
may have an advantage in their academic learning. This is because the teaching staff in elite high schools must be
skilled and experienced, with interesting and salutary lesson plans. As a result, students can gain a deep
understanding of the subject as well as a detailed guidance and support. One more benefit is the professional learning
environment gifted high schools can provide for students. Admittedly, in order to be accepted into these schools,
students need to be both intelligent and hard-working. This way, students may get the chance to study in a well
educational milieu, further leading them to develop their personalities and improve their senses of learning in a positive
way. To conclude, gifted high schools may have positive contributions to students’ both learning and self-developing

In this ever-changing world, students are getting smarter, resulting in gifted high schools for talented students. I think
that gifted schools have lots of benefits. Firstly, at gifted schools, students would learn a harder curriculum. The
teacher wouldn't need to worry about bad students and could freely teach complex subjects. For example, if a group of
gifted students learn with a group of bad students, the teacher would not be able to teach the difficult subject. Also, the
teacher would have to explain to the students who don't understand, wasting lots of time for the talented students.
Secondly, gifted schools create an environment for talented students. Students can now share about the subject easily
as they are on the same level. This is a really good thing since they can help each other understand more about the
subject. In conclusion. I think that gifted schools create an environment for talented students and the teacher would be
able to teach complex subjects.

TOPIC 2: The benefits of studying at a gifted high school

Nowadays, the term “high-quality school”, also known as “gifted school,” is becoming a hot trend among students as
well as their parents. In my opinion, this tendency is completely justified since elite high schools can provide students
with a great learning environment. Firstly, it is obvious that students can develop their in-depth knowledge of many
prospects. Since high school students are taught by professional and dedicated teachers, they are able to be offered
gripping lectures and be completely engrossed in the subject. As a result of being well-equipped with expertise, gifted
students could have a chance to partake in many national as well as international competitions, which is a great
springboard to their further work in the field. Moreover, attending an elite school also means students have the chance
to study in a friendly and dynamic environment. As gifted students are talented and well-educated, they together
create a motivating community where each one gets inspiration from others and makes lots of efforts to achieve
accomplishments. In conclusion, it is advisable that students study for elite high schools due to the numerous
privileges offered specifically to them.

class, which will prepare them for life as adults. Moreover, doing homework helps students to develop self-discipline,
as mandatory tasks will force students to complete it even if they dislike it. Secondly, doing homework will help
teachers to understand the students’ strengths and weaknesses so that the teacher understands what each students

according to research, aids in the development of practical knowledge, self-discipline, learning attitudes, and problem-
solving abilities. Self-discipline and self-study will be extremely beneficial to students later in college or when looking
for a job. Homework also provides an opportunity to develop receptive abilities that are often not available in the
classroom. It is also an important part of the learning process, such as when doing projects and researching
information. Homework helps to connect lessons and can be used to reinforce what has been learned and prepare for
the lecture afterward. To summarize, homework is an important part of today's education, schools should continue to

Homework plays an essential part in every student’s academic life, and in this paragraph, I will go over some benefits
of homework for schoolchildren. Firstly, homework helps teachers measure their children's understanding of the
lessons that day. Their assignment will demonstrate how well they understand the subject. By doing this, teachers can
determine where students' understanding is lacking and adjust their curriculum, or they can work with students to
review and fill in those gaps. Secondly, homework gives students a golden opportunity to review the class material.
For example, in math class, there are a lot of formulas, properties, and theories that students have to remember in
order to solve problems. Thanks to homework, students can memorize things more quickly, simply, and thoroughly.
Moreover, the more exercises and questions they do, the easier and faster their approach to the same problems in the
future will be. In conclusion, I believe that homework will cement the students’ understanding and knowledge and also
do them good in the long run.

For a long time, teachers have handed out homework to students after classes are over. This long trend of handing
out after-school work for students has yielded some mixed results. In my opinion, the advantages of homework vastly
outweigh the disadvantages for the following reasons. First of all, homework encourages self-learning for students.
Since homework, as the name suggested, works at home, students are more encouraged to research about what they
learned in class, and put it into practice. Additionally, studying at home can help develop their critical thinking skills, as
many subjects require one to be creative and research into it. Homework may also allows students to enable time
management skills. Due to homework having a deadline, it may encourages students to be more careful with how they
spend their freetime to make space for doing school work to prevent work overload. This also helps with their future
career, as many jobs require employees to manage their time efficiently to yield the best result and go up the ranks. In

intellectual potential and enhance their performance. Even more, gifted schools offers a friendlier environment than of
normal schools. The majority of pupils here are well-educated and well-behaved, consequently, students may develop
a better society, stimulate long-lasting friendships and eradicate the problem of bullying. Finally, elite performers may
focus in any specialized subjects that they prefer. Gifted schools encourage students to choose a narrower curriculum
in order to allow for greater focus in their favorite subject, thus helps them to become a professional at the subject, as
more time spent in one domain inevitably leads to mastery. The postgraduates are enabled to define their life career
easier also. In conclusion, studying in elite schools lead students to better results in general.

Enrolling in a gifted high school is beneficial for students. First of all, it allows students to advance their education
theoretically and heuristically. Through the intensive and extensive learning program, learners can not only gain deep
insights into specialized subjects, but they can also broaden their knowledge about the attendant problems. Likewise,
modern school facilities such as the well-equipped laboratory enable students to experiment with theories they have
learned for themselves, so their knowledge will not just stay on paper, but can be understood thoroughly. This is not
often the case in traditional high schools, where these facilities are not always available due to the high cost. In
addition to providing comprehensive education, gifted high schools also offer students opportunities to partake in
extracurricular activities. Intending to improve learners’ soft skills in parallel with academic ones, these schools
encourage a myriad of student-led projects ranging from arts, science, charity, and so on. For example, students will
have to collaborate and communicate effectively with one another to develop a well-planned activity schedule.
Moreover, since these activities are an asset in applying for prestigious universities, students in gifted high schools

There are many arguments between the positive and negative effects that homework can have, both in the short and

to review what they learned at school. By doing exercises related to the class material, students will remember longer
and may be able to understand more about the topics they were taught. Moreover, teachers can benefit from giving
out homework as well. After checking students' homework, teachers can figure out how well they learned and also find
ways to aid them in studying. Second, in the long term, students can develop useful skills and habits which will be
necessary. For instance, certain homework assignments requires students to work as a team. This can help develop
teamwork and leadership skills because one student has to take charge and divide the work between the team.

that it consolidates time organization in students. It is evident that students receive numerous homework assignments

As the significance of education is getting more widely recognized, many schools for the gifted have been opened,
providing the targetted students with an exceptional learning environment. The advantages of this education paradigm
are irrefutable on account of the following reasons. Firstly, an elite school ignites one's natural gifts as well as
promoting their individuality. Such schools encourage their learners to explore the talents they are endowed with,
therefore can offer them with a suitable curriculum that focuses on the subjects they excel in. Additionally, gifted
programs are mostly taught by specialized teachers who can understand and adapt their skills to a variety of learning
needs. Secondly, being surrounded by a group of like-minded peers will give youngsters a strong motivation to
improve themselves constantly. As each of their schoolmates possess their own strengths, one will eventually have
the incentive to keep up with them in terms of both academic performances and extra-curricumlum activities. In
conclusion, due to the aforementioned points, students greatly benefit from enrolling in a gifted milieu provides
considerable benefits.

It has long been debated whether homework is a crucial aspect of education or simply a nuisance to generations of
students. However, I believe that homework is a beneficial learning tool due to the following three main reasons, all of
which will be discussed further in this paragraph. Firstly, homework helps to reinforce knowledge and enhance one's
memory power. By completing At-home assignments provide an opportunity for students to revise and recall the
information learnt in class, therefore establishing a deeper comprehension of study materials. Secondly, homework
encourages students to develop a sense of responsibility. By completing homework consistently and on time, students
are encouraged to be directly involved in their own progress and take ownership of their academic goals. Finally,
homework acts as a means of promoting self-directed learning. This means that through completing at-home
assignments, children are able to self-navigate at their own pace as well as evaluate their needs and weaknesses. In
conclusion, I believe that homework is a powerful educational apparatus with countless benefits and should continue
to be an integral part of learning.

The benefits of studying at a gifted high school

Due to the rapid development of technology, mankind requires a vast amount of education. However, not everyone in
a specific area can meet the demand. That’s why some developed cities and countries started to open public gifted
high schools for students who have higher levels of IQ and are a place to develop exceptionally outstanding talents in
the fields of basic science. These public schools are designated for secondary students with a talent for the sciences,
social sciences, or foreign languages. Studying at a gifted high school can provide more advanced information on one
subject or topic, which gives the students opportunities to explore their interests and their strengths in one field. For
example, gifted high schools in Vietnam often organize festivals and events that give students a chance to try
teamwork activities or individual skills. Furthermore, since most students have to take an entrance exam, it is easier to
interact with peers who share the same interests as them. For example, they can discuss the problem together without
burdening the other person. In conclusion, a specialized high school is a stepping stone for students to achieve more.

Homework has always been a significant part of an adolescent’s life. In this paragraph, I will highlight the advantages
of homework. Firstly, children can develop time management and study skills. Children who do their homework are
better prepared to manage their time and organize their study schedules, which is a highly valuable ability to have
when they transition into senior high school, tertiary education, and ultimately the workforce. Early completion of
homework during the academic years ensures that it becomes a habit rather than a hassle. Furthermore, with
homework, teachers may monitor students' development and identify pupils who are having difficulty understanding
the material or lagging behind their peers. Homework submission also teaches students to be diligent and responsible,
as disciplinary measures are frequently taken if it is not handed in or done to the requisite standard. Additionally,
homework may be a useful topic of conversation when parents and teachers meet. In conclusion, homework had and
will always be an important aspect of modern education.

Homework is undeniably an integral component of school life that holds relatively significant educational value. This
welcoming trend has provided students with various benefits. Firstly, homework contributes to one’s self-study. Since
homework refers to assignments given to students to complete outside of regular class time, students have to work
without the supervision of a teacher. As a result, it urges them to think independently and be more proactive in the
learning process. Apart from encouraging students to actively engage in their studies, homework is of great
importance to one’s academic growth. As homework is designed to consolidate learned concepts, it determines
whether or not earlier information has been assimilated. Thus, students can evaluate their work accordingly and make
proper adjustments to improve their academic performance. All in all, homework is an essential aspect of education
that will improve academic outcomes and help juveniles develop a sense of responsibility in their initial stages.

Nowadays, an increasing number of students have the aspiration to enroll in an elite high school for several reasons.
Firstly, being surrounded by talented peers gives students an incentive to keep honing their skills in fear of falling
behind others. This competitive environment can also prepare them for the fierce competition in the workplace later in
life. In addition, establishing relationships with those friends could be meaningful with a view to learning from each
other’s strengths. Secondly, gifted high schools often provide specialized courses, which enable students to follow
their academic pursuits under the guidance of professional teachers. Finally, the demanding curriculum covered could
help students develop critical thinking and tolerance to school pressure. Thanks to these valuable skills and the
recognized quality of gifted high schools, one can have an advantage over his ordinary counterparts in applying for
overseas universities. In conclusion, for the above arguments, studying at an elite high school proves to bring

Studying in a gifted high school offers pupils a plethora of positive aspects. To begin with, it enhances the learning
outcomes . A competitive environment in which peer pressure is imposed will make students aware of their capability
compared to other elite mates; as a result, this raises their attitude towards schoolwork as they emulate others.
Additionally, the expulsion of those who fail to achieve certain academic criteria may also contribute to their effort to
strive. Secondly, it serves as an edge on the subject of tertiary education as well as employment opportunities. Even
when students do not particularly have an outstanding performance, they are still assumed to be more intellectual
since they passed the cut-throat entrance exam and were taught by top teachers. Employers and individuals involved
in the scholarship selection process may consider this an advantage over others whose CVs do not mention studying
in a prestigious highschool. To recapitulate, an elite high schools is of great benefit to pupils.

Nowadays, students are prone to be given homework after each studying session. While there are numerous
arguments for and against the benefits of school assignments; it is commonly asserted that homework is a helpful tool
during the learning process. In my opinion, the tool profits students' academic progression. Firstly, homework serves
as a reviewing material that helps with knowledge testification. To be more precise, it deepens one's understanding of
the material learned in class by further practicing and applying. Hence, students can have a clear understanding of
different concepts besides developing critical thinking through homework in the long run. In theory, learning is
frequently associated with practice, which can suggest the importance of homework as a form of knowledge
enforcement. Secondly, school assignments prevent students from time-wasting activities. Take the case of teenagers
overusing smart gadgets in their free time. Instead of surfing the internet unnecessarily, homework now gets rid of
their free time besides benefiting their studies. In addition, the tool helps students to acquire better time management.
To sum up briefly, homework is advantageous to the academic journey.

Topic 1: The advantages of homework.

Homework has invariably been part and parcel of every student's learning process due to its benefits. Firstly, it permits
pupils to reinforce in-class theories. Repeated practicing may acquaint them with the principles of the subject matter.
Accordingly, they are bound to gain deeper insights into what was taught during classes. This studying method is
undoubtedly an efficient means of knowledge revision. Secondly, after-class exercises promote learners'
industriousness and time-management skills. By regularly completing homework assignments, they will be equipped
with good studying habits. In reality, some teachers also consider their pupils' diligence a significant grading feature.
Additionally, as homework may be time-consuming, students must spare adequate time for it. As a result, they may
learn how to plan and prioritize tasks, which substantially contributes to their future success. To conclude, homework
is a valuable tool to enhance pupils' academic performance. Therefore, it is crucial that they take a positive attitude

It is inevitable that homework provides numerous benefits and advantages for students, especially those who are in
their senior year. First of all, since homework must be completed individually, doing it aids in the development of
responsibility and self-discipline. As a result, students’ ability for time management was enhanced, making it easier for
them to complete their homework on time. Secondly, homework encourages self-learning and independent problem-
solving skills, which helps students gain a deeper understanding of certain subjects or topics. In addition, homework
has been proven to improve students’ academic performance since it sharpens their focus and memory. For instance,
according to a study conducted by professor Harris Cooper from 2006 showed that 70% of students who completed
their homework had better academic outcomes than those who did not. To conclude, despite the fact that there are still
numerous objections against its use in schools, I believe that having homework is essential in order to attain personal

improve their memory recall and long-term learning. Secondly, homework serves as a valuable tool for teachers to
evaluate their students' understanding of the subject and identify areas that may require further instruction. By
assessing the students' homework, tutors can measure their academic capacity and detect any potential

Dreams of admission to gifted high schools are not rare among students aiming at a secure future for themselves.
Indeed, such schools are increasingly favourable for several understandable reasons. The first and most unanimous

Topic 1: Dating back to the time homework was invented, it has always been considered a tedious and strenuous
abominable task, but in reality, it's the contrary. To begin with, finishing work assigned by the teacher is a golden
opportunity for students to revise and practice their skills or knowledge acquired during class. School periods usually
last about one hour and 10 periods at most. It might seem like a lot, but about half of this amount of time is dedicated
to conveying knowledge, and the other half is for exercise, which is indisputably little for pupils to apprehend.
Consequently, homework is integral to fully making the most of the lessons. In addition, assignments from the teacher
