Ten years ago, young students would have been proud to show off a new schoolbag or pencil box at the start of a term．But these days, it’s not enough．If going back to school only means new clothes and backpacks to you, you’re falling out-of-date．Teenagers in big cities now look for all the latest hi-tech things to show off to their classmates．Mobile phones, diskmans(CD players), MP3players, electronic dictionaries——the list is endless．
“We need to keep in touch with our friends as well as enjoy lives, so my parents understand why I need a mobile phone and a diskman．” Wu said．She often uses her mobile phone to text message to her friends．Like other teenagers, Wu loves to shop in CD stores, searching for new albums by her favorite singers——Jeff Chang, Jay Chou and Sun Yanzi．As for the Dictaphone, she said she used it in her science classes to play back her teachers’ lectures when going over the difficult parts at home．
According to Wu, 90 percent of her classmates have mobile phones and more than 85 percent have diskmans．The electronic dictionaries are helpful in English classes, so almost all students own one each．
Although many high school students each own a diskman or MP3 player, Sun Jun from Shanghai doesn’t．She isn’t interested in changing her old tape player for a newer CD player．However, she thinks a mobile phone is a must for her and each of her Senior 3 classmates．They don’t often go home, so it’s important for them, she says, to have mobile phone to keep in touch with their families．
