Paragraph 1
I was a smartphone addict. My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever walked down the street, had dinner with frends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was reach for my phone. I always asked for Wi-Fi connections when I went to a new restaurant or coffee shop.

我是个“智能手机控”。无论是走在大街上,还是同朋友吃饭,或者晚上躺在床上,我都目不转睛地盯着这块小小的屏幕。早晨醒来,我做的第一件事情就是伸手拿手机。每当我到一家新餐厅或者咖啡厅时,我都会要求连上它们的无线网。

Activity 1 Discussion
If I had to live without my smartphone for a week,I would spend more time doing physical activities. For example, I could take my camera,go for a walk to the local park and take photos of interesting things. If the weather is not good, I would stay indoors and play some board games with my family. I could probably also spend more time studying or tidying up my bedroom. I might help my mother cook dinner too.
2. How do you understand the title of this blog post “Smartphone: a smart choice?” What’s the function of such a title (Critical thinking批判性思维)
There is a pun(双关) in the title. “Smart” in the word “smartphone” is a technical term meaning that the cell phone has some of the functions of a computer, for example, the ability to use apps and access the Internet. In the phrase “a smart choice”, the author questions whether using the smartphone is an “intelligent” choice. The use of the pun and question in the title is thought-provoking and appeals to the readers.
