As we all know, with the development of technology, smartphones have influenced the old people in our family a lot. A TV programme interviewed three teenagers on how smartphones influence their family.
My grandfather asked me to teach him how to play the popular video game King of Glory(王者荣耀). I was surprised that he was interested in this! He chats with family members on Wechat every day. He tries to learn other new things as well. For example, he watches courses on learning apps. Although he is old, he still cares about technology and sports. So, as we can see, the internet can help elderly people. —Xing Yuxi, 12, Chongqing |
I live in Hangzhou, a city of technology. People enjoy the convenience(便利) brought by the internet. However, I often worry about the elderly. Take my grandma as an example. On one hand, she would like to get discounts by using mobile phones. On the other hand, she's afraid of getting cheated online. I think it takes time for elderly people to get used to these things. We should help them keep up with the times. — Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang |
Smartphones have made a big difference in my grandma's life. In the past, newspaper and TV programs were her only ways to get information. However, it was not good for her eyes, as she has severe cataracts(严重白内障). But now, she can listen to the news through all kinds of apps on her mobile phone. She doesn't have to look at the screen all the time. Sometimes, she even plays mobile games for fun. Thanks to the internet, my grandma now has a more colorful life. —Wen Jiayi, 13, Sichuan |
