如今越来越多的中学生拥有了自己的智能手机。然而，无论是在课堂还是在休闲时间，都会见到一些学生玩手机。请根据以下提示，写一篇80词左右的英语短文，谈谈中学生使用智能手机的利与弊，并提出你自己的看法。
提示：
利：1.方便与朋友或家人保持联系；
2．很容易获取信息。
弊：1.太多时间花费在手机上，没有时间与朋友或家人面对面交流；
2．不能把注意力集中在学习上；
3．过度使用智能手机对健康有害。
参考范文：
Nowadays smartphones play an important role in our lives. A number of middle school students have owned them. No matter where we are, we can see students playing with their smartphones.
Smartphones are really good for students. They make students keep in touch with their friends or family conveniently. And they help students get information more easily. However, everything has two sides. When students spend too much time on smartphones, they don't have time to communicate face to face with their friends or family. Smartphones may take their attention away from their studies. More seriously, using smartphones too much may cause health problems.
In my opinion, students should use smartphones wisely. And it's necessary for them to take part in more outdoor activities.
