SOCIAL MEDIA DETOX①
Moderator②
Today marks the last day of the Social Media Detox,Brenton High's fundraising③ campaign for new sports equipment.At the start of the detox,over 100 students had been persuaded to stop using social media,in ANY form,for seven days.This meant no messaging friends,no posting photos,no blogging-nothing.They had been promised money by family and friends for each day spent without using social media.They were excited.They were nervous.But could they do it?
With the detox now finished [1],they've switched④ on their devices and they're back online.I bet you're as eager as I am to find out just how many have been motivated⑤enough to last the full seven days! [2]And what,if anything,has been learnt from the experience?
[1]with复合结构在句中作状语。
[2]本句是主从复合句。you're as eager as I am...为宾语从句,作bet的宾语,其中第一个as作副词,修饰eager;第二个as 引导比较状语从句;how many引导的宾语从句,作find out 的宾语。

I lasted two days.The detox was more difficult to tolerate than I had expected. [3] I felt like I had lost an arm!Not eating for two days would have been easier!But on reflection⑥,I can see how much of my time had been occupied⑦ with checking my phone.I'm now trying to spend less time online and more time picking up my hobbies.
[3]本句是主从复合句。than引导比较状语从句;主句是“主语+be+adj.+to do”句型,tolerate与主语The detox 之间是动宾关系。

I lasted four days.On Monday,my classmate and I spoke about what we did at the weekend-it felt really strange not to already know what he had done. [4]We would usually have posted pictures and updated our profiles⑧.Doing the detox meant we had to talk and explain what we were doing and thinking! [5]It made me realise the value of real contact that I had forgotten.
[4]本句是主从复合句。what引导宾语从句;破折号后的句型为it作形式主语,not to already know what he had done作真正的主语,其中what引导宾语从句。
[5]本句是主从复合句。主句中 Doing the detox为动词ing短语作主语;meant 后接省略了引导词that的宾语从句;从句中又含有一个what引导的宾语从句。

I managed the whole week!At first,I really felt I was missing out.Then,instead of messaging my friend,I went round to her house.Without our phones,we had a proper conversation for over two hours,without being distracted⑨ by messages from other people.It felt so good!Then I decided to visit a different friend every day.By the fifth day,I wondered-was I really missing out⑩ by not constantly⑪ checking my phone to see what everyone else was up to?

I did all seven days,too!To be honest⑫,I didn't find the detox too difficult,but I did give my phone to my dad to avoid giving in! [6]My brother thought I should make full use of the time without my phone,so he took me to check out our local sports centre.An hour's sport each day left me tired out⑬ and wanting to go to bed early.The detox made me healthier!
[6]本句是由but连接的并列句。第一个分句中使用了find +宾语+宾语补足语”结构,不定式短语To be honest为独立成分;第二个分句中,助动词did用于强调谓语。

I'm embarrassed to say that I threw in the towel⑭on the first day!I knew there was a party happening that evening [7],but without access⑮ to social media I couldn't remember where it was!In the end,I turned on my phone to check,but couldn't resist having a quick look at my social media accounts.What's worse⑯,I then spent so much time catching up on⑰ news,I almost missed the party!
[7]happening that evening为动词ing短语作定语,修饰a party。
Moderator
The detox raised a total of£1632.82 for new school sports equipment!Well done,everyone who took part!After reading the posts on this forum,it seems that something other than⑱ money has also been raised through the detox. [8]Awareness of just how much we rely on⑲ social media can help us step away from⑳ it and communicate with each other better.
[8]本句是主从复合句。其中含有It seems that...这一句型,意为“看起来……,似乎……”。

戒除社交媒体
主持人
今天是戒除社交媒体的最后一天。戒除社交媒体是布伦顿高中为购买新的运动器材而发起的募捐活动。戒除活动开始时,学校成功说服100多名学生连续7天不使用任何形式的社交媒体。这意味着不给朋友发消息,不上传照片,不发博客——什么都不做。家人和朋友承诺,不用社交媒体的每一天他们都可以得到金钱(奖励)。他们既兴奋又紧张。可他们能做到吗?
戒除社交媒体活动结束了,他们已经打开设备,重回网络世界。我敢肯定你们跟我一样急于知道有多少人那么有动力,坚持了整整7天!从这次的经历中,他们是否学到了什么呢?
安娜
17岁
我坚持了两天。戒除社交网络比我预期的要困难。我感觉自己就像失去了一只手臂!两天不吃东西会更容易一些!不过,仔细想来,我可以知道查看手机到底占据了我多少时间。我现在正努力少花些时间上网,多花些时间来培养一些爱好。
德文
16岁
我坚持了四天。周一,我和同学聊了聊我们周末都做了什么——未能先知道他到底做了什么还真是不习惯。我们通常都会上传照片,更新个人概况。戒除社交网络意味着我们必须当面交谈,解释自己的所做所想。这让我意识到自己早已忘记的面对面交流的价值。
辛迪
18岁
我坚持了整整一周!一开始,我真的觉得错失了取乐的机会。后来,我去了朋友家,而不是给她发信息。没有了手机,我们畅谈了两个多小时,且没有因为其他人的信息而分散注意力。这感觉真是太好了!于是,我决定每天都去拜访一个不同的朋友。到第五天,我想知道,没有经常查看手机看其他人在做什么,我是不是真的错失了什么?
乔治
16岁
我也坚持了整整七天!老实说,我没觉得戒除社交媒体太难,不过我还是把手机交给了爸爸保管,以防自己屈服于手机的魔力!哥哥认为我应该充分利用没有手机的时间,所以带我去了我们当地的体育中心。每天一小时的运动使我疲惫不堪,早早就寝。戒除社交媒体让我变得更健康了!
马克斯
17岁
我真是不好意思说,我第一天就认输了!我知道那天晚上有个派对,但是没有社交媒体,我记不起来派对在哪儿举行!最后,我打开手机查看,却忍不住快速浏览了一下我的社交媒体账户。更糟糕的是,我接下来花了太多时间看新闻,差点没赶上派对!
主持人
戒除社交媒体活动为学校筹集了总计1632.82英镑来用于购买新的体育器材!所有参与的同学们,做得好!看完这个论坛上的帖子后,不难发现这个活动的收获不仅仅是钱,还有其他东西。意识到我们对社交媒体有多依赖可以帮助我们远离社交媒体,更好地互相交流。
