The “double reduction” really helps me. Our homework is less than before. I can finish it at school . I'm also happy to find that there are fewer exams. |

The best thing about the “double reduction” is that we have more time to do after-school activities* such as dancing, volleyball and cooking. I can also learn a lot of things. |

With the “double reduction”, I have really got less homework to do. But I need to take an online class on the computer at home after I come back from school. I often feel tired. But I can still have happy weekends. |

I have got more time to read books and play sports. The art subjects are becoming more important. So I need to learn music well. And I have less learning stress now. |
We use our smart phones to carry out many tasks every day. Many of us become so reliant(依赖的) on them. However, it is bad for our eyes and health to spend too much time on phones.
A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal emails and WeChat(微信). And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news, and send a message or two to friends. After getting up, they often take photos of food, and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that users pick up their phones over 1,500 times to do different tasks in an average(平均的) week. And the smart phone users are on their phones for three hours and sixteen minutes a day. That is to say, people use their phones for almost one full day each week.
Using phones can take much time and it's also bad for our health. Many people stay up late to play phones. And mobile phones can influence(影响) our sleep. Without using the phones, many people may feel sad. Many owners also find they use their phones without realizing they're doing so.
How do you think people use their phones too much?

For us boys and girls, books are not all. We can find time to play at home or school. Playing is about having fun. But how do we play? It doesn't mean(意味着)watching TV or playing computer games. In the morning, we can run with our parents to be healthy. We can play sports with friends after school. We can also do what we like after class.
