Now cell phone is more and more popular. Are cell phones good or bad?
On One Hand: Cell phone use is becoming one of the most common forms of communication in the world. They are handy tools for staying in touch with family and friends, asking for help in dangerous situation. People can use cell phone to send important information to family or
coworkers without the trouble of trying to find a public phone.
On The Other Hand: As cell phone use becomes more common in young people and adults alike, many negative(消极的) effects have come to light. Cell phone use while driving can cause accidents. Some teens have gotten into trouble using cell phones to take inappropriate(不适当的) photos and send them to friends. Some people use their phone to do bad things. Some teenagers spend too much time surfing online by cell phone, which makes them lose interest in lessons.
Bottom Line: Cell phone can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the situation. While many drivers can be distracted（思想不集中的）by cell phone use while driving, mobile phones still offer easily communication for emergency situations. When cell users start using their phones in a way that is not a proper communication, that’s when the negatives takes effect.

Today, there are many problems between parents and children. Many people always ask,“Why do we often argue?”
Parents show their love for children in different ways. They cook nice food, buy new clothes for them. They also care about their studies. Parents always say “You must work hard.”“You should do your homework.”“Why not revise for your exam?”all the time.
When kids get bad marks, their parents get very angry. They stop their kids watching TV, playing games or even going outside until they make progress.
Why? Most teenagers want to do things themselves. They want to do many unusual and special things that parents dislike. They like pop songs, basketball and other new things. They enjoy surfing on the Internet and playing computer games. They spend a lot time chatting online and listening to the QQ music. In their parents’ eyes, these are a waste of time. For these reasons,
parents and children can’t get along with each other.

Who is a top choice for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize? The answer is the Internet. On March 10, the Nobel Prize Committee said that it picked the Internet as one of the choices, because it has changed our world in many ways. Teens will tell you more about this great invention.
①is the Internet? The Internet is a network that connects billions of computers all over the world. In the 1960s the US government built computer networks for the army. These networks were not opened to the public until the 1990s.In 1991, a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, which he called WWW for short. Today the WWW system is the most popular part of the Internet.
②Over the past 20 years, the Internet has greatly influenced our world and changed our lives. The Internet helps us to stay connected to family, friends and the world around us. Not long ago, we wrote letters by hand and waited weeks for a reply. Today, when we use QQ or MSN, we send and receive messages across thousands of miles in a few seconds.
The Internet makes it more convenient for people to search for information. For example, when we write a history report, we don’t have to go to the library. We can find information about world leaders and historical events on different websites. Everything we want to know can be found at the click of a button.
③The Internet gives us a way to express our opinions in public. We share interesting ideas with other people on QQ, Baidu Tieba, blog or forums（论坛）. If we dislike the food at school, we can discuss it in the school’s forum or in the Tieba of our own class.
Although the Internet has made our world better in many ways, in some ways it can be a bad influence. There is a lot of false information on the Internet. It is important not to believe everything we read. In addition, many teenagers choose to keep in touch with each other online instead of meeting face-to-face. People worry that this harms their social communication skills. Some teenagers spend too much time playing Internet games. They may lose their interests in their studies.
