【正确答案】

As is unfolded in the elaborately painted cartoon: four youngsters are sitting together to enjoy their gathering feast. However, much of their attention has been paid to their mobile phones, without saying a word to one another, leaving the dishes untouched and totally forgetting what they are gathering for. In fact, it is typically a "dinner party in mobile era." The picture unveils a common social phenomenon in contemporary society—too much addiction to the mobile phones. Indeed, we have all stepped into an era of getting and staying in touch with others through telecommunication. Each of us seems close to another under this circumstance, but we have to look at the side-effect of the technology: the high-tech electronic products also cut off the face-to-face communication. As is shown in the picture, people are imprisoned in their own world! To be specific, in our daily life, it"s not uncommon that on buses or subways, or walking on the road, we are all playing with mobile phones or ipads for recreation, even when we have dinner with our friends, parents or loved one. Evidently, we should take a rational attitude towards this issue. The media should promote the awareness of healthy lifestyle among the public. Meanwhile, social activities, either in communities or on campus, should be launched so that people can get back to the real world. Joint efforts are needed to ensure people to have face-to-face communication! I believe a harmonious relationship will be set between friends if we set aside our mobile phones!
