【范文】
As is depicted in the picture, a woman talks to a man, complaining of the weak points of apps. The thought-provoking picture intends to warn that apps should be treated appropriately and people should not be overly dependent on them.
Just as every coin has two sides, there is no exception for mobile apps. On the one hand, it is convenient for smart phone users to have so many apps. They can do numerous things when their mobile phones are connected to the Internet: go shopping, chat with their friends, receive emails, have video conference, read e-books, watch films, etc. On the other hand, the negative effects caused by apps can't be overlooked. Firstly, some apps may lead to message leakage, which is dangerous for the users. Secondly, overuse of smart phones can be harmful to one's physical and mental health. Last but not least, over-reliance on apps may make people indulge in the virtual world, isolating people from the outside world, and leading people to ignore everything around them.
To conclude, mobile apps should be utilized in a wise way. While enjoying the convenience of apps we should stay awake and avoid being caught in the virtual world.
【译文】
如图所示，一位女士正在向一位男士抱怨手机应用程序的关中不足之处。这幅引人深思的漫画意在提醒人们要正确对待手机应用程序，不要过度依赖它们。
正如任何事物都有两面性一样，手机应用程序也不例外。一方面，众多的手机应用程序会给智能手机使用者带来方便。在他们的手机连接互联网后，他们可以做大量的事情：购物、与朋友聊天、收邮件、开视频会议、阅读电子书、看电影等。另一方面，不能忽视手机应用程序的负面影响。首先，有一些手机应用程序可能会导致信息泄露，这对手机用户来说是很危险的。其次，过度使用智能手机对人的身心健康都有危害。最后，过度依赖手机应用程序可能会使人们沉迷于虚拟的世界，与外界脱节，忽视身边的一切。
总之，应该理智地使用手机应用程序。在享受它带来的便利的同时，人们也应该保持清醒，避免陷入
在虚幻的世界中。
