"There is no homework today" seems to make students feel good. However, as a teacher we should not use this choice regularly because homework can help students to recall the lesson and also practice their learning skills themselves.

- This is your homework for tomorrow.
- There is no homework today.
- Don’t forget your homework.
- Do exercise 10 on page 23 for your homework.
- Prepare the next two pages for Monday.
- Before next lesson, I want you to read the story on page 15.
