One Saturday, Anna, a teenager, didn’t get out of bed when she reached for her phone and sent a message to her mom. She knew she didn’t do it 【小题1】. Her mom was in the kitchen. Anna wanted eggs for breakfast. Soon, the 13-year-old heard her mom’s voice (声音). “Anna, if you want to talk to me, you come and see me like your dad! You must learn the idea of 【小题2】, you are also a member of this family!”

Anna says she hates it because her mom likes 【小题3】 her with her dad. “I used to send my mom messages all the time even we are in a house”. Following is her 【小题4】, “I just like using QQ or WeChat to communicate without talking, and my mom loves phones too.”

Well, Anna is not alone. These days, many people like sending a message but not talking. Some would argue that it’s not a big deal. But many experts say 【小题5】 communicators have the ability to do both, talking face to face and sending messages. Because they know that these two skills make people want 【小题6】 to talk. And experts worry that the possibility of losing the face-to-face communication ability is 【小题7】. But young people think it’s just normal. Anna and her closest friends also send each other videos of themselves, their dogs or something new in their bedrooms in 【小题8】.

Experts say there is nothing wrong with quiet conversations. The problem is that the conversation isn’t meaningful, it’s like they just 【小题9】 want to talk with someone. So family rules like “never send messages to people under the same roof (屋顶)” should appear. They advise parents to put down their own phones first, then there will be less 【小题10】 for their kids, as children learn from them.

“Karen, can you cook dinner today? I will be home 【小题1】.” My mother called me at noon. Before I said 【小题2】, my mother added, “Don’t worry. It’s easy. You can read my cooking book.” I didn’t know how it would go, but I 【小题3】.

I watched my mother cook rice before. So I did it 【小题4】. But when it came to cooking vegetables. I didn’t know how to do it. 【小题5】 I read the cooking book. On one page, it talked about how to cook cabbage. It said, “First, cut up one cabbage. Second, 【小题6】 some oil（油）into the pot and then put the cabbage into the pot，add some pepper finally. Don’t forget to add some 【小题7】.”

“It’s quite easy.” I said to 【小题8】. So I cooked the dish according to（按照）the 【小题9】 on the cooking book. I tasted it. It was great. I never thought my first experience of cooking could be so 【小题10】. From that day on, I became interested in cooking. And I ever take a cooking class. to improve my cooking skills.
