As is known to all, smart phones are getting more popular. Many of us use them to carry out many tasks every day. However, it is bad for our eyes and health to use too much phone.

A study shows that smart phone owners usually start to use their phones early in the morning. They check personal e-mails and WeChat. And before they get out of bed, many people often check the weather, read the news and send messages or talk to friends. After they get up, they often take photos of food, themselves, and even whatever they can see with their phones. They share their photos with their friends. The research finds that people use their phones for more than three hours a day.

Using phones will take much time and it’s also bad for our health. Many stay up late to play phones. And mobile phones will influence our sleep. Without using the phones, many people will feel sad. How do you think people use their phones so much?

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and it also means that the Christmas shopping season begins every year in the USA.

Most stores offer big sales on Black Friday. They try to attract（吸引）shoppers with big discounts（打折）. Some items（商品）are much cheaper than usual. Stores may even lose money on these items.

Black Friday is a great time for shopping. However, there are problems. The biggest one is that there are not enough low-priced items. Each store may only have some, so people stand in long lines to get them. They may wait several hours before a store opens.

Now people all over the country take part in Black Friday events. It has even spread to other parts of the world. Stores have held Black Friday events in the UK, Australia and Brazil since 2012. I guess people everywhere like to buy things on sale.
