I am near-sighted, and my eyesight is getting worse, because I spend too much playing computer games and watching TV. When I play computer games, I always forget about my other plans. I am a bit ashamed (羞愧的) of this habit (习惯). I also like watching television. Sometimes I keep the TV on even while I am doing my homework. I usually sit one metre away from my TV and watch it for hours if my parents do not ask me to do something else.
I get to know how bad my eyesight is when I am in a car. I look out of the window at the shops along the street, but I can’t see the signs clearly. I have to guess the shop names from the curves (弧线) and lines. I try my best not to wear glasses, because they change my appearance and make me look like a hen. I hate my eyes for making me wear glasses during school hours. I love my eyes at the same time because they let me see the beautiful world.
Love your eyes and keep yourself away from computer games and TV. Always remember to protect (保护) your eyes. The world will be dark after you become near-sighted.
