教师点评：

本文采用了“总—分—总”的顺序进行写作，整篇文章条理清晰，语言流畅精练。首先，第一段概述了我们应该学会使用电脑;然后，用两个自然段从正反两面说明如何健康合理地使用电脑;最后，在文章的结尾处用一句话总结全文。

需完善的內容：

①advices改为advice。advice是不可数名词。

②Except改为Besides。except意为“（用于所言不包括的人或事物前）除……之外”，besides意为“除……之外（还）”。

③on改为in或直接去掉。spend... （in） doing sth.意为“花费（时间或金钱）做某事”。

④it改为them。代指上文中的复数可数名词computers，应使用them。
