Stop Phubbing (别当低头族)
Last month, Justin Valdez, a college student was shot in subway in San Francisco, the U.S. The surveillance(监控) video showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out the gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their mobile phones.
We may see the same scene everywhere in the life: in subway, restaurants. Elevators, roads, people are watching their mobile phones. From family reunion to date with a friend, people can't stop checking their WeChat, Facebook on the mobile phone and snubbing(无视) the persons in front completely. Not only the young people, but also the olds and the kids.
“Phubbing” is a new word which comes from the words “phone” and “snub”. It means the habit of snubbing someone in favor of(只顾着) a mobile phone. The word “phubbing” was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012. So we can see phubbing is spreading globlly.
Phubbing seems innocuous(无害的); however, it disturbs our life. Stop posting photos. Let's put down the mobile phone and enjoy the real taste of food and the warmth of interpersonal(人与人之间) communication.

TFK Kid Reporter Dahlia Suiter spoke with the writer of Writer to Writer: From Think to Ink.
You just said that you didn't think you'd become a writer. Why?
I didn't know what I would be. There were times when I wanted to be a scientist. I loved reading about biology.
①{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
I never thought about writing stories for adults (成年人). It was always for children because when I was a child, books were so important to me.
②{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Revision(修改) is my favorite part. If I can add (增加) something surprising at the same time, I'm happy about that, too.
③{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Writing is hard, and if you're not having fun with it, why do it? "Save ( 保存) what you write" is very important because you may need it. You may need that part you cut.
④{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
I hope the book will open up new places to go with writing.
⑤{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Yes. Writing can be a good way to discover (发现) yourself. You learn about yourself when you write. Writing also slows your thinking down, and you can make discoveries and go places that you don't expect.
A. Do you think it's very important for kids to practice writing? B. What do you hope kids will learn from Writer to Writer? C. Why did you write "Have fun, and save what you write!" at the end of each part in Writer to Writer? D. What do you enjoy most about writing? E. Why do you write children's books? |

How to make it: First, beat up (打碎) the five eggs into a bowl. Cut up the green onions and put them in the bowl, too. Add a teaspoon of salt and mix them all together. Next, put the pan (平底锅) on the gas cooker (煤气灶) and turn on the gas cooker. Pour three teaspoons of oil into the pan. Then pour the mixture into the pan when the oil is hot. Turn it over from time to time. About five minutes later, it is OK. 最后,把它放到一个盘子上。 |
