He did that for three months.Later, he heard that a newspaper was looking for a networktechnician（網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)員）,so he asked for it. But they were also worriedabout his school education. He practiced his skill right in front ofthe puter, and showed the managers the web pages he had made.

Luckily,there are several things you can do to make homework less work.First, be sure you understand the task. White it down in your notebookif you need to, and dont afraid to ask questions about your task. If you want, youcan also ask how long the special task should take to finish, so you can budget your time.Second, go over your lessons before you start your homework. Manystudents think they dont have enough time to finish their homework．Sothey begin to do it at once without reviewing their lessons. In fact,they will have to spend more time looking something up when they dotheir homework.Third, use any small pieces of time you have at school to work onyour homework. The more work you can get done at school means the lessyou11 have to do that night.What if you
