    Questions to Ask Before Getting Your Child a Cellphone

    At what age should you get your child a cellphone？{#blank#}1{#/blank#}However，before you decide to add your child to your family plan，ask yourself these questions.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    If you and your child are not often apart beyond school hours，a cellphone may not be a serious necessity，but if he is independent or involved in extracurricular (课外的) activities outside your home，a cellphone could be useful，especially during emergencies as a convenient means of communication with you.

    Does your child understand the cost?

    Make sure your child understands the cost of having a cellphone.{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Some options to help control costs include prepaid and postpaid phones，setting a monthly budget for your child.

    How can you keep your child's phone usage safe and under control?

    Before you get your child a phone，you should discuss what it can be used for，rules he is expected to follow，and consequences if he fails to follow them.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}If you prefer to take an extra step towards monitoring his phone use，these application programs allow you to track your child's mobile activity.

A．Who needs a cellphone?

B．How can you determine whether or not to buy a cellphone for your child?

C．Also be sure that he can be trusted to stay within his limits from month to month.

D．You ask your child to make use of his cellphone for learning.

E．Also, educate yourself on what social media apps are popular with teens.

F．According to Pew Research Center, the average age is between 12 and 13.

G．For example, is the phone only to be used to call family, or can it be used socially?

    As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Don't panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!

    With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about making choices. In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.

    Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself.

    It is also perfectly natural at this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family.  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.

    This period is a part of the life cycle. These are some people who will be with you throughout life's journey. There will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not even see all of your classmates again.

A Pen That Draws in Any Color

    The Scribble is a magical pen that can scan colors and instantly reproduce the colors. Hold the Scribble's scanner up to any color, and within a second that color is stored in its memory. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Who can use the Scribble?

    Children will love the Scribble because it can create different colors, replacing even their biggest box of crayons. Besides, anyone working with color in their professional lives, such as artists, will be able to scan and reproduce colors instantly.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Green! One of the most important characteristics of the Scribble is that, since it can reproduce any color, it replaces marking pens, greatly reducing the huge amount of plastic waste.

    What's inside the Scribble?

    There will be two different versions of the Scribble, the Scribble K and the Scribble S. The K will be able to reproduce exact colors on paper. It includes a color sensor and a rechargeable battery. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} The S looks exactly the same as the K, but it is intended for use on screen.

    How did we create the Scribble?

    We've been in the design process for two years and the Scribble has gone through various design changes to get it to where we are now. Because of its small size we have created some ideas never seen before in the color reproduction industry. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    Thank you for your support.
