4. The effects of Technology on Teenagers: imagination becomes
unnecessary, lack outside activities, inhibits memory and your own idea.
Firstly/the most serious effect is that it makes imagination become
unnecessary (1). When they come to something that they don’t know,
instead of spending a minute imagining, they may immediately use their
smart devices and search for it. (When this is too easy for them, this will
form a bad habit among teenagers, and it’s not good for their
imagination)
Secondly/another bad point/drawback is that they lack outside activities
(2). Technology offers/gives a lot of interesting things, which make
teenagers spend much time using them and ignore other activities,
including studying, doing exercise or
going out with friends. Therefore It makes teenagers become inactive
(This is not good for their physical and mental well-being=health)
Another drawback of technology on teenagers is that it inhibits memory
(3). They tend to be lazy to memorize(v) important information because
the technology devices and the internet will do it for them. (This
leads to the dependence on technology and could affect their
study/learning negatively).

It’s common to see a group of teenagers who sit in the same place such as
coffee shops, food stores, restaurants and so on, they only stick their
noses and eyes into the screen instead of communicating with each other.
(This makes their real-life relationship become weaker).
Affect their health – waste time/ instead of using this time for..

messages enable us to

for animals (1). That is because a pet is like a little friend to the kid, they
can talk and play together. This connection helps kids develop (leads to
the kid developing) the love for the pet and, for the world of animals in
general. In the future, he will make effort to protect them, it makes kids
become a kind person.

it’s important for children to understand their responsibility to the pet to
have good meals, to get bath or to go to the vet at the right time. It is very
important for the mental development of children. (By being aware of
this, the kid becomes responsible for the ones he’s taking care of, not
only the pet but also people around, and the works he will do in the
future).
+ Thirdly, this will help them grow the care for the others (3). That is
because pets also have problems like humans. They may
be happy, sad or worried, sometimes they get sick and don’t feel good.
The kids will pay attention to their feelings and will learn to ease/heal
their pets. For example, if our pets feel sad, we should play with them.
Furthermore, they will develop the care for other people.
+ last but not least, from my point of view, it helps people stay
healthy/have good health/ reduce the risk of modern diseases … They can
do exercise/play sports/ take a walk in parks together – help each other
when they have troubles in their life. (who plays with him or listens to
what he says/share/talk secrets/joy/sadness è reduce stress or sadness.)
