II. Read the article below. Then, put the words in the right order to make questions aboutthe article.

HOMEWORK FOR SALEPARIS, Wed Mar 4, (Reuters) - "You can't do it? We're here to help", says the homepage of a new Frenchwebsite where children can pay older students to do homework for them.On faismesdevoirs.com (which means 'do my homework'), children buy answers to simple maths problems for 5 euros ($6), while a full end-of-year presentation complete with slides and speaking notes costs 80

euros ($100).The website goes live Thursday morning, founder Stephane Boukris told Reuters. "I realized there was a gapin the market. Add to that a dose of insolence, a zest of arrogance and the internet, and you havefaismesdevoirs.com", he said.Schoolteachers reacted with anger. "It is shocking. It defeats the purpose of education which is that thepupils need to learn for themselves how to do the work," said Agatha Field, a young English teacher at asecondary school in a suburb of Paris. "It turns them intoconsumers. The message is that for the right priceyou can get the results you want. It's nonsense," she said. Boukris defended the website, saying that the schoolchildren would still learn something if they boughthomework from the site because it would come withannotations from the students, explaining how they gotto the final result.

"We're not just giving them the fish, we're teaching them how to fish", Boukris said in a telephone interview."Of course some schoolchildren might use the system to cheat, but they'll have to learn sooner or laterbecause we won't be there on their exam day", he said.
