My Smart Phone

4 My Smart Phone I bought a smart phone! Like millions of other smart phone owners, I could barely contain my excitement when I brought this little gadget home. I had saved my allowance to buy this phone. It was very expensive, but I really wanted it. It had many fine features-touch slide buttons, and automatic horizontal and vertical orientations. It's just amazing. I loaded it with my favourite pictures and songs. Now, I take it with me every where I go. It's a very cool phone. It's more than a phone-it's like a fashion statement or a part of your identity. I developed a feeling of smug superiority over other cell phone owners. It's my most valuable possession. This summer vacation, I visited my grandparents. Of course, I brought my smart phone. I used it to call my friends, listen to music and take pictures.

One day during this vacation, an old friend of my dad's invited us to have lunch with him. He was delighted to see me as a grown-up. He insisted on buying me a gift-a small bag with an elegant design-simple and stylish. It had a button that closed with magnets. I thought it was perfect for carrying my smart phone. I thanked him and accepted his gift. The next day, when I pulled my smart phone out of the bag to make a call, there was a message that said, “ Repair needed: cannot make phone calls. " My new smart phone had mysteriously stopped working. I couldn't make any phone calls, but I could receive phone calls. What could be wrong? I called customer service many times. They were not sure what the problem was. After a lot of research on the Internet, I figured out that my smart phone was damaged by the magnetic button on my new bag. How could someone design something so delicate and fragile? How could the manufacturer give no warning about it? The little magnet destroyed my beloved smart phone. Now, I tell everyone about the lesson I've learned. Don't let anything with magnets get near your smart phone. It will destroy your phone in an instant.
