Next time you’re in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you that it is probably more than half, whether you’re in a bus, in a café or simply walking down the street.

I’m not saying that I am not an example of this, but I wonder how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular. We can now do almost anything with a phone. But has it gone too far? We spend too much time on our mobiles but not enough time talking to people in real life.

Last time I visited London, I traveled by subway. I noticed that almost everybody else

was on their phones except those who were asleep. People were playing games, reading articles and listening to music.

Recently, my smart phone broke and I had to use an old basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends. I could only send text messages, make calls and play one game with it. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn’t mind what my friends were doing or what the latest news was. I could enjoy my time watching the people around me and seeing what was going on.

However, I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back, I would be one of those people once again.

Fire was discovered many thousands of years ago. The first time humans saw fire was probably when a tree was destroyed by lightning (閃電).

Humans soon learned how to make fire. They probably made the first fire by rubbing (摩擦) two sticks together.

Fire was very important to humans. They needed to keep warm at night. They used fire to cook food. They used fire to keep enemies and wild animals away. In some parts of the world fire was used to send messages. The Indians in America, for example, used fire to make smoke as a message. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of dangerous message. In some other countries people lit fires to warn their friends of danger.

Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp(燈), humans burned sticks to get light.

One man even used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal(相等的) parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there was a wind blowing on the candle, it burned too quickly.

It is very common to raise money in Canadian and American schools. Students, teachers and parents have many special ways to raise money for field trips. Some schools think of great ideas, such as “King or Queen for a Day”. It cost each student one dollar to buy a ticket for the draw. After all the tickets are sold, one ticket is drawn. The student with the winning ticket will be the king or queen for the next school day. When the student arrives in the morning, the headmaster greets him or her and carries the student’s books. The student sits in the headmaster’s chair for the day and even can use the headmaster’s mobile phone to call home. At noon, the headmaster and other teachers order a special lunch and service it to the student.
