In about 120 to 150 words, write a paragraph to express your ideas Note: You are not allowed to include any personal information such as your name, your school’s name, your address in your writing Mobile phone is one of the greatest inventions in our life today Some parents think that mobile phone can bring many benefits in helping them to communicate with their children, especially in emergencies whereas the others believe that it is not good for children, especially for secondary and high school students I am strongly convinced by the latter idea for the following reasons Firstly, the abuse of using cell phone will affect the overall health of the user, especially their brains A mobile phone is designed to transmit radio waves in order to find a signal these waves will affect users’ health Secondly, the multi-functions of a cell phone turns out as a addictive to children, which makes them neglect their studies The children not know how to use the phone on the right purposes In addition, children are curious to try new things and excited about games so that they are very quick to stick to entertainment devices because music, games and movies on their phones connected to the Internet are available all the time That leads children focusing on the entertainment world rather than learning Even phones are used as recording tools for school subjects Therefore, parents should consider cell phones as harmful devices affecting the children's learning In short, secondary and high students should be banned to use cell phone by their parents and teachers for their bright future They will be allowed to have it only when they become mature and aware of their responsibilities for their life === THE END ===
