These days, many people spend hours looking at their phones. Why A possible answer is that they just feel bored. Why don’t we like feeling bored
What is boredom Boredom is a feeling. There are two types of boredom: meaningless and attentional (注意力相关的). The first type happens when we don’t find meaning in our actions. The second type comes when people find it too difficult to focus on something. For example, students might say that “math is boring”. That is because it’s too difficult for them.
Is boredom bad Boredom is neither good nor bad. What matters is our attitude. For example, we may find a math problem boring. If we can’t deal with (处理) our feelings well, we might just give up and feel bad. But things change when we can control (控制) our feelings and try to solve the problem. Boredom can then become a good chance to learn new things.
Are we more bored now No, boredom is not a new thing. Over 2,000 years ago, people already felt bored. However, it’s now much easier to get away from boredom because of things like phones. But because we’re always using them, we might be worse at dealing with boredom.

Changes Around Us
In the past few years, great changes have taken place around us.
In the past, traveling abroad was nearly impossible for most people. Now, more people have chances to go abroad or travel online. Meanwhile, we used to ride bicycles or take slow buses, but today many people drive cars or take high-speed trains. At school, we do more reading, group work, and often share our ideas in class. In addition, we have become more aware of environmental protection by planting more trees and using less plastic.
In my opinion, these changes have made our lives more convenient and meaningful. I hope we can continue to develop our world in a greener and smarter way.
