If you need to call your parents but your smartphone(智能手机) is not with you, can you remember their numbers? To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. _______, many of us can’t because of the smartphone. What’s more, people are not good at giving directions and face-to-face talks because of smartphones. Even when friends are having a meal together, it’s common to play with their phones. Smartphones weaken（削弱）our skills in many ways.
According to a study, Chinese people spend about 170 minutes on their smart phones every day. For students, spending much time on smartphones isn’t good for their study. The study shows children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones get much worse grades in school tests than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes.
It’s true that the smartphone makes our lives easier. But many people also think spending too much time on it is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.
People make a new game called Forest. It lets users plant a seed that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes. During it, users can’t use their phones, or the tree will die.
There is a restaurant in the USA. It gives people a discount(折扣) if they don’t play with their smartphones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said that he hoped it gave people a way to enjoy their meal and talk with friends and family.

Who do you think are the most important people in your life, your parents, your sisters or your brothers, or your friends? I think your answer must be “my friends”. Some teenagers often say their parents don’t understand them. In large families, brothers and sisters often argue with each other. So most of us think friends are the most important people in our lives.
It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. As for the reason, it may be because we can discuss some private things with friends. Of course we won’t tell these thi ngs to our family members.
However, parents often try to choose friends for us. They may even stop us from meeting some of our best friends. In fact, they do it just because they care for us too much. But they often neglect our real feeling. How can you solve this problem? I think the best way is to find a right time to talk with parents about our real feelings.

Are you the only child in the family? If so, you are the most important in your family. Parents are the closest people to you in the world. But most middle school students have a problem. They feel they're not as close to their parents as before.
Some students complain that their parents often say a lot to them, but never listen to them. Some say their parents ask them not to play computer games when other classmates are doing that. Others say when they’re making phone calls to friends, their parents like to ask if the children are speaking to a boy or a girl. These make them very unhappy. Some students even decide to leave home because they’re afraid to tell their parents when they have done something wrong. Then they usually think running away is the only choice.
