Please give a brief description of the line chart first and then make comments on it. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.
【正确答案】[范文]
According to the line chart, we can see the percentage of computer users in youth rose dramatically from about 8% in 1995 to 75% in 2015. Simultaneously, the chart also shows a sharp increase in China's percentage of short-sighted persons who use computers in youth, from about 11% to 72% during the same period.
It is known that staring at computer screens too long will make your eye muscles tense and eyeball more lengthened, which may increase the risk of short-sightedness. This is especially the case for children and young adults, whose eyes are still developing. To prevent short-sightedness, you should give your eyes regular rests from looking at the screen for five to ten minutes every one or two hours of computer use. Besides, simply try to reduce the amount of time you spend on computer.
We have to admit that the computer is playing a significant role in our daily life. But short-sightedness is harmful, so we must use computers in a correct way.
