Smartphone apps certainly make our lives easier. However, sometimes they can also cause problems.
Many school teachers in China depend on apps to give homework. The kids have to do their homework looking at a phone screen.
For example, Liu Yanming, a sixth-grade student in Shanghai, usually has to use his mother’s mobile phone to do his homework. The homework is handwritten, photographed and then posted by his teacher to a parent-teacher group on WeChat.
Liu Yong, his father, is afraid that the apps could encourage kids to watch something that has nothing to do with the homework. “He is just 12 years old, and I do not want to buy him a cellphone,” Liu told China Daily. “I also worry that my son’s eyesight will get worse because of staring at the phone for too long.”
However, Bai Yueping, president of Shanghai Tangzhen Middle School, agreed to use apps for homework. “Parents can understand their kids’ learning situation and tell them to finish the homework on time,” Bai told Xinmin Evening News.
Zhang Siqi, a student from Renmin University of China, has a similar opinion to Bai. “It’s convenient to give homework by using WeChat or QQ,” Zhang said. “We’re living in an Internet era (时代). It’s not wise to refuse to take advantage of technology.
Chu Zhaohui, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences, believed that it is impossible to ban (禁止) the use of electronic products in the Internet era. However, students should use them when it’s necessary, such as when they do listening exercises, “We don’t want to ban online education models, but they must be used carefully. Modern technologies are good, but they should be used in schools under control,” he told China Daily.

【推荐1】China is a great country with the largest population in the world．In order to solve the population problem，our government carried out one-child policy（政策）before．When it is carried out for some time，many people see not only its advantages but also its disadvantages．
From 2016, two-child policy is put into effect. In my opinion, two-child policy is good.First of all, two-child policy is the gift for some only child.

If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit(信用) card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website(网页) and send them to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use your information in the wrong way. You don’t want someone to get your credit card number, so be careful with it, because people sometimes steal(窃取) credit card numbers from stores.

【推荐1】A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words,"Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday”, with three emojis（表情符号）of a gun, a knife and a bomb (炸 弹 )on Instagram, a social media (社 交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening （威胁）her school.
This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.
In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.
"Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr.Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing."Although the law of China protects people's right of free speech, it doesn't include words that threaten others' lives and national safety."
"Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say 'I'm strong’,” said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.
The girl's mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Hanxiang also said he didn't realize that what he put online was so serious.
"But not knowing the law doesn't mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it,” says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we'd better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press "send"?

【推荐2】How would you feel if your school banned (禁止) phones in class? In February, the Ministry of Education announced that mobile phones should be banned in primary and high schools. This aims to protect students’ eyesight, make sure they focus on their work and prevent them from becoming addicted (上瘾) to the Internet and online games.
| Susan | A 14-year-old girl, from Hangzhou, supports the policy. Her school has never allowed them to bring their mobile phones. She thinks it’s a distraction (干扰) from their work. She said, “Even adults can’t control themselves, let alone kids like us.” |

He said, “Students should be taught self-management skills, as well as learn how to use their phones to help with their studies. This might be the best way to do with technology in modern times.” |
| Judy | Judy thinks the problem with banning phones has more to do with life outside of school. She uses a bike-sharing app every day to travel between her home and school.
