Homework: compulsory or not?
We shouldn't have homework. It takes away from family time. You  have to do your homework instead of playing a family board game or playing catch. You can't go outside to play so you will get fat. If you bring it home you will rush through it so you can play video games. We should do our work at school because we have better equipment  there. We should also do it at  school because we can't  ask our teacher questions when we do it at home. It's hard to concentrate when you could be outside playing on a sunny day. So I think homework should not be compulsory.

In my opinion, homework is beneficial to students in many ways. Firstly, homework is an extension of the classroom,  which  allows  a  student  to  continue  learning  and  to  cement  the  things  they  learn  within. Homework  promotes  understanding  to  information  that  students  might  have  found  confusing. Without  it, students would only see materials once and therefore, not truly learn it. In addition, doing homework may keep  them  occupied,  preventing  them  from  freedom  or giving them less  time  to  indulge in  video  games. Last but not least, while struggling with homework without the help of teachers or parents, students learn how to work independently and to overcome themselves. They also get a chance to better their skills such as  critical  thinking  or  time  management. For all  the  reasons  above, I  would  say homework  should  be compulsory.

  Advantages and disadvantages of mobile phones 
In  recent  years,  the  world  has  witnessed  a  booming  number  of  mobile  phones.  They  are  dramatically changing  the  way  people  contact  to  each  other.  It  is  apparent  that  mobile  phones  has  had  a  profound influence on personal lives. However, not all the effects of them have been positive.
To  begin  with, using mobile phones is one of popular methods for people to communicate, relax and do business. By using call or video phone, text message, we are able to keep in touch together despite a long distance. These days, with the significant developement of cell phones, they enable users to entertain such as surfing  the  internet,  sending  photos  or  downloading  videos  and  games.  According  to  a  research,  the number  of  people  accessing  the  web  through  mobile  phones  is  now  accounting  for  well  over  15%  of worldwide  internet  usage.  Furthermore, some  Office  applications  for  mobile  phones,  for  example, Miccrosoft Office are helping employees do their business more effectively. 
Although  it  is  true  that  people  are  now  getting  a  number  of  advantages  from  mobiles,  these communication technologies  also  have  several  negative  impacts.  Firstly, using  cell  phones  too much  will probably be harmful for human's health as it can increase the risk of brain cancer.  In  addition, children are spending a lot of their free time on using mobiles with the purpose of chatting or playing games. This is time  consuming  and  affect  negatively  on  their  studies.  Lacking  of  face-to-face  communication  is  also  the result of using mobiles. Instead of going out or dating, many people prefer to stay at home and use their cell phones to connect to others. 
In  general, mobile  phones  have  both  pros  and  cons  to  our  society.  They  make  the  people's  lives  and works become more convinient. Yet, mobile phones still impact badly on health, time and communication of  individuals.  To  advoid  these  problems,  each  person should  manage  the  time  of  using  mobiles reasonably.  Besides, the  awareness  of  people  about  the  disadvantages  of  mobile  phones  should  be improved.
