 　　The Impact of the Mobile Phone in People’s Life

　　The thought-provoking drawing mirrors a common phenomenon in contemporary society that there is the negative influence of mobile phone. As is subtly shown in the picture，so many people are too much addicted² to cell phones that they use walking sticks to see the road. What a meaningful cartoon!

　　It is to me that indulging in mobile phones produces native influences on body and mind. First and foremost, overusing mobile phones is detrimental³ to physical health for watching mobiles for a long stretch definitely impairs⁴ one’s eyesight. Suppose that a man is addicted in cell phones in whatever situation, it will be very disadvantageous for him to concentrate on his work, learning, or daily life and is very likely to hurt him. Furthermore, overusing cell phones adversely⁵ affects state of mind. An addict¹ may stay inside his bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors, which eventually prevents the growth of think skills.

　　It is high time that we took effective measures to curb⁶ this trend. I cherish a belief that cell phones themselves are not good or bad and we can benefit a lot from it as long as we take a good control over them.
