参考答案
On the Overuse of the Mobile Phone
As is shown in the picture, having a mobile phone in hand and at the ready is the default mode while walking on the streets. What this cartoon symbolically reveals is that people nowadays, especially young people, are growing increasingly dependent on their mobile phones.
It is true that the mobile phone has brought great convenience to people's life. 1. However, just as is illustrated in the picture, the overuse of it may lead to several bad consequences. Io begin with, there is evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation may trigger many health problems, such as insomnia, headaches and even cancers. 2. In addition, when people immerse themselves in the mobile phone, they tend to pay less attention to their surroundings, posing an immediate threat to their life, health and property. Last but not least, excessive use of mobile phones means much less chance of face-to-face interactions with the people who populate their real lives.
In conclusion, while mobile phones have contributed a lot to making our life more convenient, we should use them appropriately and rationally.
