Schools come together to ban smartphones.

قلت: «اسمي عبد الله». فقال: «ما أكثر عبيد لله وما أعظم متاعب الله بعبيده! فهلَّا دعوتَ نفسك: سيد الشياطين، وأضفتَ بذلك إلى مصائب الشياطين مُصيبة جديدة؟» قلتُ: «اسمي عبد الله، وهو اسم عزيز أعطاني إيَّاه والدي يوم ولادتي، فلن أُبدله باسمٍ آخر.» فقال: «إن بليَّة الأبناء في هِبات الآباء، ومن لا يحرم نفسه من عطايا آبائه وأجداده، يظل عبد الأموات حتى يصير من الأموات.
فحنيتُ رأسي مُفكرًا بكلماته، مُسترجعًا إلى حافظتي رسوم أحلام شبيهة بحقيقته. 
ثم عاد فسألني قائلًا: «وما صنعتك؟» قلت: «أنظم الشعر وأنثره، ولي في الحياة آراء أطرحها على الناس.»
 فقال: «هذه مهنة عتيقة مهجورة لا تنفع الناس ولا تضرهم.» قلت: «وماذا عَسَى أن أفعل بأيامي ولياليَّ لأنفع الناس؟»

As a beginner, there're some vocabularies that you didn't learn before, and native speaker's speed seems too fast to understand. But don't worry, let's do it step by step. 
Step 1: listen and catch the words you know already, have a guess about the content.
Step 2: look at the text to check if you guessed it right. 
Step 3: listen one more time, repeat after it.
Step 4: practice until you can speak as the normal speed without looking at the text.
