Discuss
I’ve learnt that using digital devices wisely is really important. First, we should use them in a balanced way and not be glued to them for too long, just like Timmy’s mum reminding him about his phone use. Also, we can make good use of devices for useful things like reading and learning, but we need to avoid spending too much time on chatting or playing games. And sometimes, taking a break from devices, maybe by doing activities in the real world, can be beneficial too.
Sample
Sublimation
Digital devices are really helpful in our life, but we should use them wisely. Timmy found fun in real life without his phone. We should also enjoy the beautiful moments with family and friends in the offline world.
Let’s make digital technology serve us better instead of controlling us.
