51．One possible version:
Nowadays many teenagers lose themselves in playing with mobile phones or computers. As for me, I spend about two hours on the screen every week. In my opinion, it’s bad for teenagers to spend too much time on the screen. It’s harmful for their eyes and health. What’s worse, it will have a bad effect on study.
To limit the screen time, firstly, we can go out to do exercise and spend more time reading books. Secondly, we can ask our parents to control the time for us. Thirdly, we should gradually get into the habit of using less electronics.
Our school is going to organize the activity called “A Week Without Screen Time” from November 1st to November 7th. Let’s take action and take part in it.
