I Have a New Mobile Phone

廖暑杰

More and more of my classmates have mobile phones now. I also want one， but my mother doesnt buy one for me. Mother said， “Teenagers shouldnt use mobile phones， and its bad for your study.”

I dont think so. I said to her， “If anything urgent1 happens， I will use mobile phone to call you. I wont use it to play games. Sometimes， I can look up new words， and sometimes search for learning materials.”

“Really？ Ill lend you one of my old mobile phone and it has only the function of communication and dictionary as well. Is it Okay？” said my mother.

Frankly2 speaking， I really dont want this old mobile phone. This kind of Nokia is too old， and it is unfashionable to show to my classmates.

Mother looked at me with doubts in to her eyes. I had to promise， “Well， Ill use this old one first， if I behave well， youd better buy me a new smart phone.”

My mother agreed. After two months of “test period”， Mother said， “You have passed the ‘test.”

At last mother bought me a new mobile phone. Whenever I see my classmates use mobile phones to play games， I also want to play， but I always warn myself silently， “Dont forget my promise to mom. Mobile phone is only my communication tool； I can search for learning materials， and look up new words， but can not play the games.”

I believe that good habits are formed step by step； whats more， I need to stick to them.

我有新手机了

现在我们班上越来越多的同学有手机。我也想要一部，可是妈妈不给我买，妈妈说：“中学生不应该用手机，这对学习不好。”

我并不这么认为。我对妈妈说：“如果有紧急事情，我可以用手机联系你。我又不是用它来玩游戏。有时候，我还可以用手机查生单词，搜索学习资料。”

妈妈说：“真的吗？我先借给你一部旧手机，它有通话和词典的功能。可以吧？”

坦白地说，我还真不想要那部旧手机。那部诺基亚太旧了，在同学们面前我拿不出手。

妈妈看着我，眼里满是疑虑。我只好答应：“好吧，我先用着，如果我表现好的话，你最好给我买一部新的智能手机。”

妈妈同意了。经过两个月的“测试期”，妈妈说：“你通过‘测试了。”

妈妈终于给我买了一部新手机。每当我看见同学们用手机玩游戏的时候，我也想玩，可是我总是默默地告诫自己：“别忘了我给妈妈的承诺。手机只是我的通讯工具，我可以查资料，可以查生单词，但是不可以玩游戏。”

我相信好习惯总是一步一步养成的，而且，需要坚持下去。
