When she looked around her house, Betty Margaret saw lots of electronics.Along with the usual things like her laptop and smartphone, there were all of her kids' electronic devices: cell phones, video game devices and more! There seemed to be more than enough ways for her and her three children to be online all day, every day.
Ms Margaret worried that her kids were becoming too dependent on the Internet and electronics.Then she began to reread one of her favourite books, Henry Thoreau's Walden, which gave Ms Margaret an idea.Thoreau spent 2 years in a simple cabin without running water, and having to grow his own food.Maybe she and her family could live without such luxuries as computers and electronic devices for a while.
Ms Margaret talked with her kids and explained that she wanted the family to try living for 6 months without the Internet, cell phones, TV, and video games.Ms Margaret writes articles for a newspaper in Australia, and had written several books as well.She told her children that if they agreed, she would write a book about their experience and they could go on a trip abroad with the money from sales of the book.Her three children agreed, and “the experiment，” as Ms Margaret called, began.
Over the course of the experiment, the Margaret children had different reactions to life without electronics.Before the experiment began, Anni, the eldest of the children, read books more than her younger brother and sister.She therefore had a relatively easy adjustment to the family's new lifestyle.Anni could also use the library's computer for her homework.Bill, who loved to play video games before the experiment began, had to find a way to spend all of his new free time.He started to spend more time practicing his saxophone (萨克斯管)．Susan, the youngest child in the family, had the hardest time adjusting to life without electronics.She felt restless for the first weeks and later, influenced by her elder sister, gradually began to find interest in the novel experiences brought by various books.

The family carried on with the experiment for the 6 months without technology controlling their lives.

参考范文：
The family carried on with the experiment for the 6 months without technology controlling their lives.Ms Margaret believes they all came out better for the experience.The children had a lot more interaction with each other and with their mother.Now that they could not text others, they had to actually see each other and talk.Meanwhile, the family played board games together, cooked meals together and read the newspaper together.Bill ended up developing a serious interest in music, and in Susan's cases, she improved her grades in school.
Ms Margaret wrote the book she had planned.The book became an immediate hit and aroused great interest among many parents.In her book and in interviews about the book, Ms Margaret describes the pleasant changes that happened in her family and the progress her children have made.She encourages families to set aside special “screen free days” where families unplug themselves and spend time together, which is exactly what her family have agreed to do after returning from an enjoyable family trip abroad.
