What would you do if you had to live without a smartphone for a week
If I had to live without my smartphone for a week,I would spend more time doing physical activities. For example, I could take my camera,go for a walk to the local park and take photos of interesting things. If the weather is not good, I would stay indoors and play some board games with my family. I could probably also spend more time studying or tidying up my bedroom. I might help my mother cook dinner too.

social media updates
The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends' social media updates every few minutes, but now I did not know what to do with myself. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt lost and anxious, as if I had missed something of value. Very soon, time slowed down. The empty hours stretched out in front of me, and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.

It was scary at first. Then somehow I began to feel free. The things that I had time for! I f hally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I kept a journal of my feelings,thoughts and daily activities to see how much progress I was making. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. The details of the scene were revealed in front of me: the soft sunlight, a bird singing from a high tree branch, the rich and earthy smell of the soil after the rain. Best of all,l began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera.

My offline relationships benefited as well.I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our wide-ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy each other's company. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. One night, my mother took out some family photos and we laughed about old times. I brought them up to date with what was going on in my life. We had never felt closer to each other.

By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. Real life and real relationships are more important to me now. I cannot escape from the modern world, but I can cut back on the amount of time I spend on my smartphone every day, and I do. Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to take advantage of it.
Thank you
