How important is your mobile phone to you?

    Imagine that you went to a day camp without your phone. How would you feel? Do you think you could get through your {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(社会的)life？ Share your thoughts with us!

    I'm not sure, but why would anyone do so? The mobile phone has brought us a much easier life. My old granny says it has {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (控制) our life. However, my friends and I still think it has many {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(优点)

    I would thank it if my family members could leave their mobile phones at home, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (尤其)when we get together. Every time we eat out, my son and his wife are always busy checking and replying to emails, while my {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (孙子) plays online games or texts his friends all the time. We only talk to each other when the waiter {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(给……看) us the menu. A family get-together is supposed to draw everyone together to have fun, but mobile phones {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(引起) people less attention on each other.

    My mobile phone is {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(有帮助的). I use it to check my calendar and to keep in touch with others. The idea of not having it around worries me. {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (一次)I left my phone at home and I couldn't pay attention to my work at all. My {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (同伴) in my office have the similar experiences too.
