HWK2

 

“Sometimes there are demands for more homework, as a part of a drive for higher standards”

The sentence structure is relativity long and is split up into two separate simple sentences. The grammar is simple with only a comma.

“At other times there are calls for less homework to be set”

This sentence is the complete opposite to the first one as it is a complaint for less homework not more. This is another simple sentence with no grammar.

“American studies report the amount of homework being set for younger students doubling over the past twenty-five years or so, although some doubt these findings”

This sentence talks about homework doubling over the past twenty-five years but then the author brings in some views within the public. This brings a balanced view so you do not change your mind straight away. This is a long sentence and not a simple sentence unlike the others. Like the second one it has a comma to divide the sentence up
