questions from 31 to 36.
TEENAGERS AND SMARTPHONES
Everyone knows that smartphones are very useful and, today, most of my friends
at school have one in their hands at the time. Watch a group of teenagers, and
you will find that instead of talking to each other, most of us are texting on our
smartphones. Teenagers are always texting, and all this messaging can give us
Teen Texting Tendonitis (TTT) which makes the hands, pack and neck hurt.
Having a smartphone makes teenagers want to spend all day talking or texting,
instead of doing things that we are supposed to do, such as our homework. Teens
who spend too much of their time with their phones are always tired; they also
start having other problems. In some cases, they may have headaches. This
happens because most teens keep their smartphones near them while sleeping,
so that they can answer texts and calls. They often feel they have to be
available around the clock.
Using texting all the time as a way of communication can also make US teens
worry a lot. Answering all my friends' texts can make me happy, because it
makes me feel popular. However, if any of my friends take a long time to send
back a text, then I can feel very sad.

doing?
