关于餐桌上玩手机缺少沟通的英语作文
    Not Talking at the Dinner Table
    Dinnertime at my house is a really quiet time. It's not because nobody is there - my mom, dad, brother, and me are all sitting around the table. But nobody is talking! Instead, everyone is just staring down at their phones. Mom is scrolling through Facebook, Dad is reading the news, my brother is playing games, and I'm watching YouTube videos. We're all in our own little worlds, not saying a word to each other.
    It wasn't always this way though. When I was little, we used to talk so much at dinner! We'd go around and everyone would say their favorite part of the day. Dad would tell funny jokes and make us all laugh. Mom would ask us how school was going. I remember having really good conversations and feeling connected to my family during those meals.
tabletime    But then smartphones came along, and everything changed. At first it was just Mom and Dad checking their email on their phones during dinner. But slowly, phones took over more a
nd more. Now it feels like nobody can go five minutes without looking at their screen! The worst is when we're telling a story, but the person gets distracted halfway through and starts scrolling mindlessly. So rude!
    I really miss those good old dinners where we'd actually engage with each other as a family. These days, it feels like we've all become zombies, brainwashed by the bright little screens. A dinner with my family should be a time to bond and share about our lives, not ignore each other while viewing fake lives over the internet.
    Sometimes I try to bring it up, like "Hey guys, let's have a no phones dinner tonight!" But it never works. Ten minutes in, Dad glances at his phone to check a score from the game. Mom has to respond to an "important email" from work. My brother is completely zoned out playing that mindless car crushing game. Before I know it, we've all lapsed back into silence, peeking up from our phones just long enough to shove a forkful of food in our mouths.
    I know I'm just as guilty of it as anyone. The YouTube video feed is designed to be totally
addicting, always autoplaying the next video to keep you watching. And the gamified apps like Snapchat are masters at getting kids to spend hours mindlessly scrolling and tapping. It's hard to put the phone down once you pick it up!
    But still, I hate how disconnected my family has become. Meals definitely aren't the lively, bonding experiences they once were. I miss hearing about my parents' days at work, getting a window into their lives. And I miss them asking me about things actually happening in the real world, like school and my friends and interests. Now the only thing we ever discuss are bizarre random memes or viral videos someone happened to see online.
    Sometimes I picture what an alien creature would think if it could observe my family quietly ignoring each other at the dinner table, all got focused on those little bright boxes of light. It would probably be very confused at how anti-social and impolite our behavior is! After all, shouldn't mealtimes be a sacred time for families to connect and communicate with each other?
    I really hope we can start enforcing no phone policies at dinner again. When I'm a parent someday, there's no way I'm going to let phones ruin our family meals! I want to have real conversations, hear about everyone's days, and just be present with my loved ones. Phones may sometimes be unavoidable, but they shouldn't be allowed to devour all of our quality time together.
    Lately, I've been trying to lead by example. As soon as I sit down at the table, I flip my phone over so I don't get distracted. And anytime someone starts telling a story, I put my full attention on them and ask questions to keep the conversation going. It's a small start, but I'm hoping my good behavior will start to rub off on the rest of my family.
    If it doesn't, my next step may have to be a extreme intervention - like flushing everyone's phone down the toilet! I think. But something has to change, because I can't let smartphones rob me and my loved ones of quality time and real human connection any longer. Family dinner should be about togetherness, not zoning out into digital oblivion besides the people who mean the most to you.
