One without the other
"I have something important to read to you!" Ava told her parents. "In school, we've been working on persuasive essays(
议论文
). My teacher said that in order to make people accept your idea, you have to have reasons and evidence (
证据
). My essay is called
Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone.
"
It had been a
13
for months. Ava's parents told her she couldn't have a cell phone until she was thirteen.
"A cell phone isn't all fun and games," they would say. "And, it is too big a(an)
14
for you to have one right now."
But then, a week ago, Ava started working on writing persuasive essays at school.
It was like lightning had gone off in Ava's brain.
She'd worked on her essay for a week, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She even looked up some
15
to help as supporting evidence. Forty percent(
百分之……
) of children in her age group have been introduced to cell phones. Fifty-three percent of parents in the country think it's
16
for a child to own a cell phone at her age.
"Well, Ava, that does make sense," her dad said. "We'll talk it over." Ava wanted to jump up and down. But she was trying to show she was mature (
成熟的
) enough for a cell phone. So, she just smiled, nodded, and
17
.
After a full week, her mom said, "Alright Ava, we are impressed by how much work you put into that essay and how mature you have become. So, you can have a cell phone."
"Really?" Ava cried out. She couldn't wait to show her friends and join their chat group. She spent a good hour that first night
18
with them, discussing their weekend plan.
On the weekend, Ava went to see a movie with her friends. It was not until Ava got home that she realized something was seriously wrong. Her phone was gone.
"Did you talk to the theater manager? Maybe someone
19
it in!" her mom said Ava breathed in. "I didn't
…
"
In the end, her parents drove her back to the theater. Luckily, the phone was in the lost-and-found box.
Ava thought that maybe she wasn't
20
to have a phone just yet.
