Translated text

I use my phone every day to check the time and listen to music. In the morning I used my phone to send a message to a friend. I often watch movies on my phone in the evening, but not too many. Mom says I use my phone too much, which is bad for my eyes. I think mobile phones are very useful, but we should also use them less. Now when I study, I put my phone aside. This way I can focus on my studies.
