Never try to work when you are very hungry. If you decide to do your homework right after school, you may get something to eat before getting to work. Always do your homework before you get too tired. Don't wait until very late in the evening, or your work will seem much harder than it really is.
If you have more than an hour's work, give yourself a break after an hour. On the other hand, don't break it up so much that you can't get anything done you should be able to work at least a half at a time without stopping.
Don't put it off until the last minute. If you put off doing your homework you will have it on your mind, and you won't enjoy your free time so much. If you put it off until the end of the week or until right before a test, you will have too much catching up to do. A little bit each night enough to keep up with what is happening each day in school, will take the fear out of tests and keep you on top of it all.
Do your homework at the same time every evening. This will help you make it a habit. It will make it easier to do, and it will make your free time more enjoyable, as well.

A. become a bit hard B. seem much harder

Sydney is Australia's most exciting city. The history of Australia begins here. In 1788, captain(首领,船长) Arthur Philips arrived in Sydney with 11 ships and 1024 passengers from Britain(including 770 prisoners). Today there are 205 million people in Sydney. It is the biggest city in Australia, and one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
There are over 20 fine beaches close to Sydney. Its warm summer climate and cool winter have made it a favorite city for immigrants from overseas. There are three things that made Sydney famous---its beautiful harbor, the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and the Sydney Opera House.
But there are many more interesting things in Sydney, beautiful shops and restaurants, for example, rows of interesting old houses built in the 19th century, and everywhere, the sea, summer or winter, day or night, Sydney is an outdoor city.
Some Americans thinks it is very like Britain. Some Britain visitors think it is very like America.
