I am → I’m /aɪm/; we have → we’ve /wiːv/; do not → don’t /doʊnt/; cannot → can’t /kænt/ in common American speech. Read: I’m ready, but I haven’t finished. Expanded forms are equally grammatical unless a task explicitly requests a contraction. Preserve the final consonants; British can’t may have /ɑː/.
May I ask how everyone in our family uses a phone in the evening? I use mine for homework as well as entertainment, while Grandmother uses hers to see family photos. Those different uses matter when we discuss limits. Our preferences differ, but we all want attention when speaking. Could we agree on a phone-free meal and review the rule after a week? We should explain an urgent exception before assuming that someone has broken the agreement. Adults should follow the shared rule too. I would ask each person what feels difficult and suggest a practical compromise rather than describe one generation as careless or old-fashioned. Listening to an explanation does not mean agreeing with every opinion. It gives us a fairer basis for deciding what to do together.
Follow-up: What if homework needs a phone?
Response: Explain the task and agree on a time; distinguish study from entertainment instead of banning both without discussion.

Original writing model for the final two review tasks
Teenagers’ screen time should be limited thoughtfully rather than by a rule that ignores its purpose. Long periods of entertainment can interrupt sleep and reduce time for exercise or conversation. A clear evening stopping time may therefore help. However, a screen is also used for homework, accessibility tools and contact with relatives. Counting every minute in the same way can create unnecessary conflict. Families should discuss what the device is being used for and agree on phone-free moments, such as meals. Adults should follow the shared rule too. Exceptions for urgent communication or a supervised project can be explained in advance. In my view, the strongest agreement combines boundaries with trust: it protects important routines while allowing teenagers to practise making responsible choices.
Write a short final paragraph or spoken conclusion that preserves the model’s message. Use details already supplied, not invented results.
