Jason had a bad habit. Every night, he enjoyed spending hours on his phone. He watched videos and forgot to go to bed on time. Sometimes he stayed up until midnight. His parents worried about him, but he did not think it was a big problem.

One Monday morning, Jason fell asleep in class. His teacher asked him to stay after school. "Jason, I can see that you are very tired," she said. "Please think about your habits." That evening, Jason decided to change. He told himself that he would stop using his phone after nine o'clock at night.

The first few nights were difficult. Jason missed the videos he had enjoyed watching. However, he kept trying. He started to enjoy reading books before bed. He also remembered to pack his school bag and finish his homework before dinner. Things began to feel different.

Two weeks later, Jason noticed a big change. He stopped feeling tired every morning, and his grades became much better. He no longer forgot to bring his homework to class. He even began to enjoy the quiet nights without his phone.

Jason learned that deciding to break a bad habit is not easy, but it is worth it. He told his friends, "Stop wasting time on your phone. You will enjoy life more when you stop." Now, Jason is proud of the change he has made.

中文翻譯

傑森有個壞習慣。每天晚上,他都享受花好幾個小時滑手機的時光。他看影片,卻忘了準時去睡覺。有時他熬夜到午夜。他的父母很擔心他,但他並不覺得這是個大問題。

一個星期一早上,傑森在課堂上睡著了。老師叫他放學後留下來。「傑森,我看得出你非常疲倦,」她說。「請想一想你的習慣。」那天傍晚,傑森決定要改變。他告訴自己晚上九點之後就要停止使用手機。

前幾個晚上非常困難。傑森很想念他以前享受觀看的那些影片。然而,他持續嘗試。他開始享受睡前閱讀書籍的時光。他也記得要在晚餐前整理好書包、完成作業。事情慢慢地開始不一樣了。

兩週後,傑森注意到一個很大的改變。他不再每天早上都感到疲倦,成績也好多了。他不再忘記帶作業到學校。他甚至開始享受沒有手機的安靜夜晚。

傑森學到一個重要的道理:決定戒掉一個壞習慣並不容易,但這是值得的。他告訴朋友們:「停止在手機上浪費時間。當你停下來,你將更享受生活。」現在,傑森對自己所做的改變感到非常驕傲。
