On Saturday afternoon, the rain（雨）/reɪn/ kept（使停留）/kept/ Leo's family at home（在家）/æt həʊm/. Leo had spent time（花时间）/spent taɪm/ playing（玩；下棋）/ˈpleɪɪŋ/ an online（在线的）/ˌɒnˈlaɪn/ game over（通过；在……上方）/ˈəʊvə/ the internet（互联网）/ˈɪntənet/ for most（大部分）/məʊst/ of the morning, and his（他的）/hɪz/ sister had watched a film（电影）/fɪlm/ on TV（电视）/ˌtiː ˈviː/. Their father suggested three spare（空闲的）/speə/ hours（小时）/ˈaʊəz/ without digital（数字的）/ˈdɪdʒɪtl/ or electronic（电子的）/ɪˌlekˈtrɒnɪk/ screens（屏幕）/skriːnz/. Everyone put away（收好）/pʊt əˈweɪ/ the phones（手机）/fəʊnz/ and laptop（笔记本电脑）/ˈlæptɒp/ in a drawer（抽屉）/drɔː/.
At first（起初）/æt fɜːst/, Leo said he（他）/hiː/ would（会；将会）/wʊd/ be bored（感到无聊的）/bɔːd/. His mother opened a box of indoor（室内的）/ˈɪndɔː/ hobbies（爱好）/ˈhɒbiz/. It held（装有；拿着）/held/ a chess（国际象棋）/tʃes/ set（一套）/set/, coloured（彩色的）/ˈkʌləd/ pencils（铅笔）/ˈpenslz/, cards（卡片）/kɑːdz/, and a small guitar（吉他）/ɡɪˈtɑː/. Leo chose chess and asked his father to teach（教）/tiːtʃ/ him（他）/hɪm/ the basic（基本的）/ˈbeɪsɪk/ moves（走法）/muːvz/. His sister decided to draw a cartoon（卡通画）/kɑːˈtuːn/, while their mother relaxed（放松）/rɪˈlækst/ with a magazine（杂志）/ˌmæɡəˈziːn/ and quiet music.
The main problem came after ten minutes: Leo lost his queen（王后棋子）/kwiːn/ and wanted to stop. His father did not begin another game for him. He showed Leo how to look at the whole board（棋盘）/bɔːd/ before moving one piece（棋子；一件）/piːs/. Leo tried again and protected（保护）/prəˈtektɪd/ his king（国王棋子）/kɪŋ/. The second game was interesting（有趣的）/ˈɪntrəstɪŋ/ and fun（乐趣；好玩的）/fʌn/, and Leo became interested in（开始对……感兴趣）/bɪˈkeɪm ˈɪntrəstɪd ɪn/ chess. It lasted much（很；多得多）/mʌtʃ/ longer, and Leo nearly（几乎）/ˈnɪəli/ won（赢得）/wʌn/.
At five o'clock（……点钟）/əˈklɒk/, the family returned the things to the box and took their screens from the drawer. Before turning anything（任何东西）/ˈeniθɪŋ/ on, each person shared a favourite（最喜欢的）/ˈfeɪvərɪt/ part of the afternoon. Leo liked learning a new skill（技能）/skɪl/, and his sister showed everyone her finished cartoon. Their mother had found（找到）/faʊnd/ a cake（蛋糕）/keɪk/ recipe（食谱）/ˈresəpi/ in the magazine.
The family did not give up phones forever（永远）/fərˈevə/. They simply（只是；简单地）/ˈsɪmpli/ wrote（写下）/rəʊt/ Screen-Free（不使用屏幕的）/ˌskriːn ˈfriː/ Saturday on the calendar（日历）/ˈkælɪndə/ and agreed to repeat it on weekends（在周末）/ɒn ˌwiːkˈendz/ when everyone was free. Leo saved（保存）/seɪvd/ his online game, then left the computer（电脑）/kəmˈpjuːtə/ off（关闭着的；离开）/ɒf/ and asked for one more game of chess.
