Dear Nina， I got a phone for my 13th birthday two months ago.Last month (in August)，I spent at least two hours on it every day after school.When my parents knew it，they got really mad.My mom said，“From now on，you can use the phone for no more than an hour every day.And you cannot play games on it.”I feel so sad.Most of my friends have their own phones and they can use them any time they like.
What should I do? Yours， Christina
Dear Christina， I know how you feel.When I got my first phone at the age of 14，I was very happy.But my parents were very strict.My dad said I could use it for at most three quarters of an hour every day.I was sad，but it was no use.
I decided to make good use of it.Every day，I spent half an hour listening to my favorite English songs.For the rest，I either sent messages to my friends or talked with them.I never played games on it.The phone brought me much happiness.So here's my advice：Think what you really want to do with your phone and make good use of it.

One possible version：
If I see a sick woman lying in the street，I think I will call 120 at once.Then I will try to ask her about her family members and their telephone numbers.If I get the telephone numbers，I will call them and tell them something about the woman.I will stay with her until the doctors come.
I will never leave her alone in the street because I always believe that helping others can make me happy.
