Unit 7: THE WORLD OF WORK
Picture

This is Hoa
She is doing her homework
4- Read. Then answer the questions
Many people think that students have an
easy life: We only work a few hours a
day and have long vacations. They don’t
know we have to work hard at school and
at home.
Take a look at a typical grade 7 student
like Hoa. She has five periods a day, six
days a week. That is about 20 hours a
week - fewer hours than any worker.
But that is not all. Hoa is a keen student and she studies hard. She has about 12 hours of work every week . She also has to review her work before tests. This makes her working week about 45 hours. This is more than some workers. Students like Hoa are definitely not lazy!
