Notes:

Reasons for banning smart phones in public places:

• Ringing phones cause disturbance in cinemas and school lessons

• Some people are not aware that others can hear their conversations

• Mobile phones may also interfere with electronic

equipment

• Their waves could cause damage to our brains

• Mobile phones can also be a dangerous distraction

• Using a phone while driving reduces the driver’s

concentration

• Mobile phones are a popular target for thieves

I Agree or Disagree:

PRACTICE

Reasons for NOT banning smart phones in public places:

• Be easily turned to silent or vibrate  can’t be intrusive

• Be useful in emergency case

• Provide entertainment when travelling in tedious journeys

• Be multi-functional and used as recording devices

• Provide safety for youngsters (parents easily contact)

I Agree or Disagree:

Writing 1 st draft (30 min.)

Sample Answer 3:

The mobile phone has become the most popular gadget in today’s world Some people argue that usage of cell phones should be prohibited in the public places Personally, I completely agree with this idea due to many reasons.

In my opinion, there are many health and social problems that can occur as a result of using mobile phones

in public places Socially, a mobile phone can be described as an intrusive tool It can disturb others while they are concentrating and reading in some places like libraries Mobile phone etiquette is an important issue when mobile ringing at movies or in the libraries Users often speak with loud volume and annoy the others people nearby It has become common practice for places like bookshops and libraries to post a sign prohibiting the usage of mobile phone Also, many public trains offer a 'quiet zones ' where phone use is banned.

Another lethal concern is the health problems that can be caused by using cell phones in the public places Firstly, I believe that there is a strong correlation between the usage of the mobile phone in the public

places, like public transportation and increased numbers of traffic accidents Mobile have been a major distraction on the road even when using 'hands- free' system (talking without the involvement of the

hands).Some studies have shown that talking on a phone while driving is equally impairing as drinking and driving Secondly, there are possible radiation impacts on the brain from the mobile phones, with increased possibility of certain types of tumours in long - time, to persistent heavy users.

Finally, the signal of mobile phones can cause serious problems in some public places like hospital and public transport by interfering with the signal of medical and communication devices Even in the public transport if any patient wears implanted heart device, the mobile phone can interfere with it and it could be stopped completely So mobile phone can have fatal consequences for patients in the hospital and other public
