homework 有冇 s?information 呢?
✗ 你會咁寫
There are increasing numbers of homework and advices from teachers.
✓ 應該係
There is an increasing amount of homework and advice from teachers.
「Homework」係不可數名詞,唔可以用「numbers」(數量)嚟修飾,應該用「amount」。同一道理,advice 亦冇複數,動詞跟返單數用 is。

點解你會咁寫
中文冇可數同不可數之分 ——「功課」、「資料」、「意見」都可以講「好多」。英文分得好死:呢啲字永遠單數,前面唔加 a,要數就用 a piece of/an amount of。改嘅時候記住成組一齊記:homework、information、advice、knowledge、equipment、furniture。
