One evening, Zhang Luyang was working on her math homework. The 12-year-old girl from Sichuan Province opened Tik Tok, known as Douyin, to watch some short videos. She just wanted to take a short break, but half an hour later, she was still watching short videos.
Zhang Luyang is one of many teenagers who enjoy watching short videos on apps like Douyin. The videos usually last from 15 seconds to 5 minutes. According to a survey by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League of China, 20 percent of the teenagers watch short videos during their free time. About 10 percent check short video apps several times a day.
Sun Zhenyao, a 14-year-old boy from Anhui, says he likes short videos because they are interesting. It’s the perfect thing to do when I want to kill time”, he said. However, the more time he spends on the short videos, the worse his eyes are.
Zhang Luyang says she can learn a lot by watching short videos. She follows a Chinese vlogger living in the US on Douyin. The vlogger enjoys doing funny things, like selling pancakes on the street, inviting foreigners to watch The Wandering Earth. “His videos teach me about cultural differences.”
These days many apps like Douyin offer a “teenager mode (模式)”. In this mode, teenagers are allowed to play for no more than 40 minutes each time and if they want to play more or watch the videos between 10 p. m. and 6 a. m., they should ask their parents for password (密码).

【推荐1】Imagine you’re in a sci-fi (科幻小说) world, and you video-call your friend. You might see them in a three-dimensional (3D) way or in holograms (全息影像). Although this isn’t possible in real life yet, researchers recently made holograms easier to create, said a new study.
To take a 3D photo of a person, most hologram technologies need special cameras. They record how the person looks from different angles (角度) under different lights. This information makes the hologram look lifelike. However, holograms can’t be widely used because they are difficult to make.
The researchers from Chiba University made a new computer program. It can turn normal pictures we take into 3D holograms.
Their program uses a technology called deep neural networks (神经网络). First, it receives information from a picture taken by a normal camera. It then guesses the depth of things in the image. With all the information, the program creates a 3D hologram.
In the future, when holograms become more common, they can help more people. Medical students can learn quickly by looking at 3D pictures of the human body.
But some people don’t like this idea. They think that problems will happen if people use the technology too often. They might not go out to meet friends because they can see their friends and watch a movie at home with friends, even if they live in another country.

There is a piece of news that makes me angry. It is said that there was an event in a school that caused the death of students. This event made school bullying (校园霸凌) become a hot topic again. School is not only a place where we can learn something, but also a small society. Many children suffer from school bullying nowadays. So boycotting (抵制) school bullying is what everyone in school should do.
Factors (要素) about school bullying
Family education
Parents should educate their children well, give them a good guide and take care of them. As we all know, parents are the best teachers for children in this world. Therefore, we can’t expect a couple of selfish and violent parents will have a gentle and friendly child.
The responsibility of schools and teachers
Schools should try to avoid things like this. If the students are injured or dead, the schools have a responsibility to them. Teachers should have a sense of responsibility and carefully find the things that happen to their students and then educate and protect them in time.
The environment in the society
Society should control violent events. If the government can try its best and pay enough attention to the growth of teenagers, it will help avoid this terrible accident happening. Also, social media influence has gradually become an influential force that gives much negative shock to teenagers’ minds as well as behavior.
________
Teenagers should have a sense of justice and also have a heart for fighting against the evil. Don’t be feared. School bullying is just like a spring—you weak it will be strong, you strong it will be weak.
I think if we unite together to fight against the evil. Things like this should be avoided. The school will be peaceful and harmonious again!

【推荐3】Having good manners is an important part of life. You know that you should never shout in public. But what about when it comes to the online world? When you use social media apps（社交媒体应用）, like WeChat and Sina Weibo, you must also remember to mind your manners.
For example, sometimes I need to add a new friend on WeChat. But I haven’t met him or her yet in real life. So when I send them a friend request, I explain who I am and how I got their contact information.
One of my friends likes to send really long voice messages on WeChat. It is difficult to keep up with all his messages and remember everything. I think this is a bit bad!
There are many other things that you shouldn’t do on social media. Take a look and remember to do your best to be polite.
•Don’t share your friends’ WeChat contact information with strangers. Ask your friend first before sharing.
•Don’t add someone new to your group chat without asking the other members. They might not want new people to join the group.
•If you use English, don’t use all capital letters. IF YOU TYPE LIKE THIS, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE SCREAMING. DON’T DO IT.
