Technology has done our world wonders: from development in medicine to our daily lives. It has undoubtedly changed the way our society works, and how we communicate with one another and ourselves. However, by welcoming technology as part of life, are we losing our ability to create?
Technology provides a new chance for creativity to exist(存在). Through technology, ideas can be set free and come to life. We have the necessary tools for greater possibilities and new solutions. For example, businesses now have the chance to improve themselves more creatively through websites, film advertisements, social media or radio.
However, when we look more closely, it’s easy to notice some disadvantages. For example, many of us depend so much on automated calculations(计算器) rather than taking the time to work it out for ourselves. Another situation is that a lot of people are spending too much time on screens. As a result, they are reducing the chances to come up with their own creations.
Is there a way to find a balance between technology and human creativity? I think so. It is simply a matter of making sure that creativity is not deterred by technology. The first way is to reduce our use of electronic products by setting limits on when, where, and how long we use them, turning off the notice on your phone. Once you become used to these, you will feel surprised how little you think about your phone.
Another wonderful way is to take daily walks in nature. It can help you refresh and keep going. In the long run, a daily walk can not only influence our creativity and imagination but further our physical and mental health. We can also develop our creativity by doing yoga, keeping a diary, or reading.
The actions you choose to take will help change the relationship between creativity and technology for the better. With the right balance, technology can be a good method of improving creativity.

First aid can help an injured or sick person quickly. It can stop the person's condition going worse. Sometimes it can save a person's life. But remember that we should never try giving first aid to someone unless we learn how to do first aid.
The first thing we should do is that we should take help. We should immediately try to find a doctor or an elder person. We should be calm and comfort the injured person and make him or her sit or lie down.
We can help if it is a small accident like a slight burn, an insect bite, a small cut or a nosebleed. Wash small cuts with water and apply an antiseptic(抗菌的)cream. If there is bleeding we should tie a bandage(绷带) to stop the bleeding.
If a nose bleeds, we need to pinch(捏)the nose and hold it for 7 to 8 minutes till it stops bleeding. We can get some ice, put it in a piece of clean clothing and apply it to the nose and that will stop the bleeding quickly.
If the burns are serious, a doctor should help them. For a slight burn, run cold water over it or keep ice for a few minutes. Put a clean bandage on it.
An insect bite can be treated by applying ice or running cold water over it. If a person is badly hurt, we shouldn't try to move him or her, that can cause more damage if the injury is serious.
