Dear teachers,

It's my short paragraph and I hope you can help me correct it because I have no idea how to make it better. Thank you very much!

Smartphones have several valuable features. First and foremost, it helps people keep in touch with others. No matter how far we are apart from other people, we can still connect with our families and friends. Additionally, you can search for plenty of information online, such as searching for weather forecasts, finding recipes, or learning a new language. Smartphones are like portable and light computers. Last but not least, it is convenient to record the note on your smartphone. You don’t need to carry a book and stationery with heavy footsteps; all you need is just a smartphone. It can be used as a camera or a notebook to keep our memories of daily life on record. In recent years, smartphones have become popular in society and have helped you in several ways to progress your life.

Smart phones are minicomputers with a phone app.

Ummm, no, they're not! They're mini-computers; I'll grant you that, but they're not a "computer with a phone app"!
