答案：
As we know, mobile phones are playing an important part in our daily life now. More and more students are having mobile phones.

Thirdly, we can also use them to shop online, watch movies and listen to music. But using mobile phones also causes some problems. Some students spend too much time playing games on the mobile phones. Playing games on the mobile phones for too long is bad for their eyes. At the same time, it is bad for their study, too.
In a word, students should use mobile phones properly.
