放假的时候，我每天一起床就抱着平板电脑玩游戏，一玩就是好几个小时。

During the holidays, as soon as I got up each day I grabbed my tablet and played games, often for hours at a time.
妈妈叫我吃饭，我总是说“等一下”，连头也不抬。

When Mum called me to eat, I always said “Wait a moment” without even looking up.
有一天晚上，我的眼睛又酸又痛，连书上的字都看不清楚了。

One evening my eyes were sore and aching, and I couldn't even see the words in my book clearly.
我抬起头，才发现爸爸妈妈和妹妹在客厅里有说有笑，好像已经很久没有和他们一起玩了。

I looked up and only then noticed Dad, Mum and my little sister chatting and laughing in the living room. It felt like ages since I had played with them.
爸爸提议：每天晚上八点以后，全家人都放下手机和平板电脑。
bà ba tí yì měi tiān wǎn shang bā diǎn yǐ hòu quán jiā rén dōu fàng xià shǒu jī hé píng bǎn diàn nǎo
Dad suggested that every evening after eight o'clock, the whole family would put down their phones and tablets.
我们一起下棋、玩拼图，我还教妹妹折纸飞机，大家玩得不亦乐乎。
wǒ men yì qǐ xià qí wán pīn tú wǒ hái jiāo mèi mei zhé zhǐ fēi jī dà jiā wán de bú yì lè hū
We played chess and did jigsaw puzzles together, I taught my sister to fold paper planes, and we all had a wonderful time.
这样过了一个星期，我的眼睛不痛了，我和家人的笑声也变多了。

After a week of this, my eyes stopped hurting, and there was more laughter between me and my family.
我明白了：平板电脑虽然好玩，但是要懂得适可而止，生活才会更精彩。
wǒ míng bai le píng bǎn diàn nǎo suī rán hǎo wán dàn shì yào dǒng de shì kě ér zhǐ shēng huó cái huì gèng jīng cǎi
I realised that tablets are fun, but you have to know when to stop — that's what makes life more wonderful.
