Nowadays, short videos have become a hot topic among teenagers. Lots of students spend plenty of free time watching short videos every day.
Short videos bring us fun and new information. We can learn useful knowledge and relax ourselves after busy schoolwork. However, many teenagers lose themselves in them. They keep watching videos late at night and cannot focus on homework. Some videos also carry bad information that is not suitable for young people.
In my opinion, we should learn to control ourselves. We can set a time limit, such as thirty minutes a day. When we watch videos, we need to choose useful and positive content. What’s more, we should leave more time for reading, sports and face-to-face communication with family and friends.
Short videos are just a tool. They will be helpful only if we use them properly. We should not let short videos take up most of our spare time and influence our study and daily life.
Go green
Protecting the environment has been a hot topic in recent years. Everyone is supposed to play a part in living a green life.
Many environmental problems are around us, such as waste pollution and air pollution. As students, we can do many simple small things to make a difference. We should save water and electricity at home and school. We can take reusable bags when shopping instead of using plastic bags. It is also a good idea to sort rubbish correctly.
Some people think one person’s action does not matter. Actually, small efforts from millions of people can change the world. We can also call on our family and friends to form green living habits. We should avoid wasting food and choose walking or cycling for short trips.
The earth is our only home. It takes everyone’s effort to protect it. We do not need great actions at once. Start with little things every day, and we will create a cleaner and better world for the future.
