Frank is a student. He likes playing with his mobile phone very much. And he keeps the phone with him all the time. His dad thinks he is addicted (上瘾的) to his phone. But Frank doesn't think so. They write to each other.
Dear Frank, A report says that almost half of the teenagers depend on their mobile phones too much. I think you are one of them. That's why I think you should give up your phone. Not forever, just for a while. Your mum and I are worried about you. You keep looking at the phone all the time—even at the dinner table. It's not a good idea to use your phone while you are doing homework. You can't put your heart into your homework at all. And you may make more mistakes. There are many reasons that you should take a break from your phone. Have a try! I am sure you can do it. Love Dad |
Dear Dad, I know you are worried. But I'm just keeping up with the modem world. My phone helps me a lot in many ways. It helps me with my homework too. I can also do some reading and know the world better with its help. You can find me anywhere at any time as well. It's really hard to connect yourself to the outside world today if you don't have a phone. Social media, games, and apps might seem stupid to you, but they do help me to get closer to my friends. I promise not to use my phone so much and use it wisely. I won't use it at the dinner table anymore. But giving it up would be a mistake. I really hope we can understand each other and talk more often. Love Frank |

There are always lots of predictions about future. What will human's life be like in 100 years? I think everyone has his or her answers to this question, and the following is my answer.
In 100 years, many things will be from now. People in 100 years won't use cash any more. Most of will use e-money. They will take out their mobile phones to when they buy something. It will be really convenient(便利)for them to do some shopping this way.
The earth will be very with too many people in 100 years, so some people will to other planets. Robots will build enough apartments for humans to in. And robots will be human's servants. People will longer do any houseworks. They will rockets to different space stations or other planets for holidays.
Do you agree with me? What's your opinion about life in 100 years?
I'm Nick. This term will end in a month. I didn't get good grades in many tests this term, so I plan to study harder next term.
First, I am going to listen to the teachers carefully. I will write down the key (关键的) points I learned in class. At the same time, I will finish the homework on time.
Second, I am going to spend more time on the subjects I am not good at. As for English, I will read English for two hours every day. If I can't remember the new words, I will write them on my exercise book over and over again. I will also read more articles to improve my Chinese.
Third, I must change my studying habits. When I have problems, I will discuss them with my teachers or classmates. I think they will be able to give me some useful advice.
Lastly, having a healthy body is important to study better, so I need to do some sports once a day.
