I’m happy to hear that an activity named Saturday W ithout U sing S martphones is being held, and I’m excited to join the activity. Smartphones play a significant role in our lives today, but sometimes it feels like we’re losing our face-to-face communication skills.
Here are my plans for this Saturday: I plan to invite my friends for a refreshing run in the park in the morning. Later, I want to assist my parents in preparing a delicious meal for lunch. Afterward, my family and I will spend the afternoon together, enjoying the latest movie. In the evening, we’ll stay home and read books.
This activity holds great meaning, and I’m eager to share it with my classmates.
On Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing with his father at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. They had a wonderful day and decided to drive home to Massachusetts after a final run. They took a chairlift to the top of the mountain, where they split up to go down different trails. When the father finished his run, he headed to the parking lot to wait for his son. However, Nicholas never showed up.
It turned out that a fierce snowstorm had swept into the area as Nicholas was on his way down. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path and ventured down the west side of the mountain. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost and all alone. His way back to the ski trails was blocked. What’s worse, he had no food or water, let alone his cell phone or other supplies. The sun began to sink, and he was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. Instead, he thought about Bear Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild , which he used to watch on TV. In the show, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and must help himself. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop moving around. He needed the energy, and the winds weren’t as strong in the valley where he stood as they were on the mountain. Plus, there was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to seek shelter from the freezing wind and snow. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.
When evening came, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate some snow and drank some water from a nearby stream so that he wouldn’t dehydrate (脱水). Then he returned to his cave and slept.

When Nicholas didn’t show up, his father realized there must be something wrong. The father contacted the police, and a search team was gathered to look for the missing teenager. Although the weather was poor and the wind was still fierce, they didn’t lose hope of finding Nicholas alive. However, they knew the clock was ticking, and Nicholas stood a better chance of survival the earlier they found him. The team split up, and one of the searchers who knew the area better decided to sweep a mountain trail he used to hike up.
The next day, Nicholas heard the sound of a snowmobile. He went out and followed the sound to find help. He had walked for about a mile when he heard someone calling his name. He moved towards the sound, and sure enough, a few minutes later, he came face to face with the searcher. Despite feeling weak, Nicholas was generally in good condition, and he was really happy as he was carried back to the ski resort to reunite with his family.
