Mobile phones are now part of our everyday lives. Most people find them essential and
could not manage without them. However, there are also some drawbacks to owning and using
a mobile phone
There are three main advantages to having mobile phones. Firstly, there is a convenience
of being able to make or receive a phone call at any time and in any place. Secondly, they are
essential for keeping in touch with family and friends. Parents worried about their children can
always ring them to check they are safe, and children can let their family know if they are going
to be late home. Finally, mobile phones can save lives. For example, if there is an accident, help
can be called immediately, wherever the accident takes place (happen)
On the other hand, there are significant problems with the use of mobile phone. In the
first place, using mobile phones can cause accidents, for instance, when people are driving and
using their phone at the same time. In addition, the loud use of mobile phones in public places
such as restaurant and cinemas is rude and can be very irritating for other people. Finally, there
has been an increase in street crime directly related to mobile phones. People have been attacked
and their phones stolen from them.
In conclusion, I believe that, despite the disadvantages, mobile phones are essential to
modern life and that the advantages of owning one are far greater than the disadvantages.
