Our age witnesses that the mobile phone has undergone a tremendous change from a sign of wealth and social status to a life necessity. Also, the function of the mobile phone extends from basic voice communication to browsing websites and listening to music. Reportedly, nowadays quite a few students do their homework accompanied bymusic or web-pages presented by their cell phones. As for me, the above-mentioned practice is a real bad habit that should be avoidedwhen it comes todoing homework. My reasons and examples are given as below.
Firstly, it is impossible forstudents to concentrate on their homework while doing something else at the same time. This is because homework usually demands a relatively quiet place and preoccupation from the student. Conversely, if a student is doing homework and listening to music or surfing online as well, his or her attention is being torn apart,and the efficiency of finishing homework must be affected. A good case in point is that when I am working on a mission such as preparing a presentation, I have to devote all my attention to it and cannot afford any slight disturbance. If I randomlyrefresh my Weibo or Wechat on cellphone, my job would be bound to last for a longer time.
Besides, distraction or multitasking is likely to harm students' health. Imagine a student, who is in the middle of doing homework, chooses his favorite music and has a glimpse of the latest news online from time to time. In that case, the student is dealing with several jobs simultaneously, a process called “multitasking”, just like a computer. However, according to a recent research, multitasking somewhat increases our mental burden and makes the process a tiring and exhausting one. For instance, my neighbor, a woman who not only has to take care of her newborn baby but also should work to support the family, suffers from insomnia because of overstrain.
Admittedly, some students claim that listening to music or surfing online can be reducing the anxiety and tension while doing homework, but what you may not know is that people's sub-consciousness is actually distracted, which not only slows down the progress of the work but also burdens their nerve. Hence, the real way to relax your mind is to kick off your shoes, sit back and listen to light or classical music after having finished the entire task rather than during the process.
To put it in a nutshell, students should be preoccupied with their homework without being disturbed by any other distraction.If you happen to be a cellphone-maniac, next time when you are doing your homework, you had better try to lock your cellphone in the safe box and throw the key away.
