Nowadays, mobile phones are more and more popular, especially {#blank#}1{#/blank#} teenagers. Those people {#blank#}2{#/blank#} like to play with mobile phones all day {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (call) phubbers. One of the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (reason) is that it is fun for them {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (spend) time playing with new kinds of mobile phone software, such as {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (chat) on Wechat. I think spending too much on mobile phones is bad for everyone. For a student, it will not only get in the way of study but also influence our health. My cousin was so {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (interest) in mobile phone games {#blank#}8{#/blank#} he lost his interests in any other subject. And he didn't enter the best high school in the town {#blank#}9{#/blank#} he did well enough in school when he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (study) in primary school.

In my opinion, it's time to stop using mobile phones while we are studying, working, driving or walking. It's too dangerous to do that. Let's call on more young people: Don't be phubbers!

    Alec plays the violin and Stella plays the flute in the band at their school. The school has two bands {#blank#}1{#/blank#}are known as the training band and the concert band. Everyone begins in the training band. “At the very beginning, I played it {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(terrible)!” says Stella. “My family asked me to practice in the back yard {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they didn't like the noise.”

    Alec and Stella have been playing their instruments for a year now so they sound much better. They are both in the concert band and they are learning    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(difficult) music than before. “We're learning the music from the film Pirates of the Caribbean. It sounds fantastic!” says Alec. “It is really great{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(play) in the band with other kids.”

    As well as being fun, many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(scientist) say that learning a musical instrument is good for your brain. It helps children {#blank#}7{#/blank#}their reading and math skills. It helps them learn to concentrate. Alec thinks that learning the violin has helped {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(he) at school. “I have to concentrate and think about nothing when I'm practicing,” he says. “And now it's easier for me to concentrate on my schoolwork.”

    Learning music can {#blank#}9{#/blank#}help children become more sure of themselves. As Stella says, “The first time I {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(stand) in front of an audience I was scared. But now I really enjoy it.”

He tries to spend more time reading Chinese{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(story). He often loses{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (he) in reading. Sometimes, mistakes make him learn much {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(fast). Now he can write lots of Chinese words {#blank#}7{#/blank#}working hard. He was so lucky{#blank#}8{#/blank#}he will have the chance to enter a competition called Chinese Bridge in Hunan.

    Mike likes Beijing Roast Duck very much, because it tastes delicious. He wants to learn how{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(cook) Roast Duck because his parents also like it. He hopes he can live and study {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (happy) in China.
