Difference between “made of†and “made fromâ€
As a general rule, if an object consists of a material that has not been changed in any significant way then we say “made of”: This table is made of wood. If, on the other hand, the material is significantly changed in the process of making the object, then we generally say “made from”: Paper is made from wood.

My phone
Last saturday in the morning I used my phone , but it didn’t work. I tried it again and again, but failed. I was worried about this, because there is some information inside and I needed to watch it. I took my phone to the repair shop, hoping he can fixed it. At first they couldn’t did it and told me to take back tomorrow afternoon. I didn’t took it until monday evening because of night shift on sunday. I really hope my phone was fixed. unfortunately they couldn’t fix again. They told me my circuit is broken. I was sad. I had used the phone for two and a half years.

My phone
Last Saturday morning I tried to use my phone, but it didn’t work. I tried it again and again, but failed. I was worried about it, because I had some important information in that phone. I took it to the repair shop, hoping they could fix it. At first they couldn’t do it and told me to take it back the following afternoon. I didn’t take it back until Monday evening, because I had a night shift on Sunday. I really hoped my phone could be fixed, but unfortunately they still couldn’t do it. They told me the circuit was broken. I was sad because I had used the phone for two and a half years.
