After doing homework on my tablet and playing a game for an hour, I had a headache. At first, I thought I was just tired.
My mother asked, "Did you take a break?"
I looked at the clock. I had been looking at a screen for almost two hours.
I turned off the tablet, drank water, and looked out the window. The headache did not disappear at once, but my eyes felt better.
Screens are useful, but my body still needs pauses.

我用平板电脑做完作业，又玩了一个小时游戏，后来头疼起来。起初，我以为自己只是累了。
妈妈问：‘你中间休息过吗？’
我看了看钟，才发现自己已经盯着屏幕将近两个小时。
我关掉平板，喝了些水，又望向窗外。头疼没有立刻消失，不过眼睛舒服了一些。
屏幕很有用，但身体仍然需要休息。
