Teachers say buying homework answers online is not many in schools, but an interview with school students shows only 10％ are willing to finish their holiday homework by themselves．

　　Their main complaint is that the homework is too much for them to finish．

　　“As far as! know, many of my students have to go to all kinds of training classes during the holiday．These lake away much of their time for doing homework．”

　　But as for the parents who are sending their children to these training classes　they also say they've got no choice．Here's a view from a student's father．

　　"All the other kids in the neighborhood are learning extra things．You know parents sometimes compare their kids．I'm afraid my kid will be less successful than the others in the future．"

　　In order to do with this situation of students copying each other's homework, some schools have even dropped the idea of holiday homework．Instead, they organize some interesting outdoor activities．

　　Educational experts say students love to learn through games or activities that they can be a part of‘ They suggest schools drop the current(目前的)homework format(设计)，and turn to homework that encourages kids to get involved(参与)．This way, they would no longer want to copy from each other or buy answers through the Internet．

　　Carnegie tried to be more active in college．He joined the debate team(辩论队)．But one after another, he lost 12 meets．The young man was very disappointed in himself．He said later that he thought of killing himself after so many failures, but soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside．His hard work paid off(得到好结果)at last．In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech contest and became widely known．

　　The young man made his own words come true：“Believe that you will succeed, and you will．”

　　In order to share his success, Carnegie opened up schools and wrote books．His best-sellers include“How to Win Friends and Influence People”and“How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”．More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages．They are still helping people on the road to success．
