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 your 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 modern 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 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
