My father asked me to help with his new phone. He wanted to send a family photo, but he almost posted it where anyone could see it. I showed him how to check who could view a post before pressing the button.
“You are the teacher today,” he said with a smile. At first, I enjoyed knowing more than he did. Then he asked why I always turned off notifications while studying.
I explained that every sound broke my attention. He suggested putting the phone in another room instead. We tried it that evening, and I finished my homework earlier.
I taught him a setting. He taught me a habit. By dinner, both of our phones felt a little easier to use.

爸爸请我帮他用新手机。他想发送一张全家福，却差点把它发成任何人都能看到的公开帖子。我教他在点发布键之前，先检查谁能看到这条内容。
‘今天你当老师。’他笑着说。起初，我很得意自己比他更懂手机。后来他问我，为什么学习时总把通知关掉。
我解释说，每响一次都会打断注意力。他建议我干脆把手机放到另一个房间。当晚我们试了一下，我比平时更早写完作业。
我教了他一项设置，他教了我一个习惯。到了晚饭时，我们俩都觉得手机比以前好用了些。

背景知识
分享家庭照片之前，要核对帖子的可见范围；原本只想发给家人的照片，可能因设置而公开。另一方面，学习时的干扰也未必只靠关通知解决。文中 setting 是手机的设置，habit 是把手机移开的日常习惯，两者解决的是不同问题。
