When Sarah was in Grade 7, she wanted to join the school’s music club. But she was too shy to sing in front of others. She thought she had no talent for music and almost gave up.

Digital life is part of our daily life now. We use smartphones, computers, and apps for study, work, and entertainment. But how can we use digital life in a healthy way
First, we should control our screen time. Spending too much time looking at screens can hurt our eyes and make us feel tired. Experts say we should take a 10-minute break every hour when using digital devices.

Third, we should choose useful digital content. There are many educational apps and websites that can help us study, like language-learning apps or online libraries. We should spend more time on these, instead of playing useless games or watching silly videos.
Finally, we should balance digital life with real life. Don’t forget to meet friends in person, do sports, or read paper books. Digital life is a tool to make our life better, not to replace real life.

Digital Life in My Eyes
Digital life has become an important part of our daily life. It brings many benefits. We can use educational apps to study anytime, search for information online quickly, and keep in touch with friends far away through video calls.
However, it also has some drawbacks. Spending too much time on screens hurts our eyes and makes us less likely to communicate in person. Some people even get addicted to online games, which affects their study and work.
In my opinion, digital life is a useful tool but not a replacement for real life. We should use it wisely—control screen time, choose useful content, and balance digital life with real interactions. Only in this way can we enjoy the convenience of digital life without being troubled by its problems.
