Mobile phones - a great invention?

Almost everyone has a mobile phone, but is it a great invention? I think there are both advantages and disadvantages.

The first advantage is that people can get in touch with friends whenever they want. Secondly, you won't need to go back home or go use a public telephone to call people. Thirdly, it is very small and light so we can take it anywhere.

On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. For example, people won't talk together so much and use email. Also, we are not allowed to use them on the train or in places where there are lots of people. Additionally, mobile phones need to get charged and batteries don't last long.


In conclusion, there are some advantages and disadvantages, so I think that we should not use them too much if it is not necessary, and talk together face to face instead. I think mobile phones are a great invention, but I haven't got one yet.

  1. Toshiya,

    Well written, and apart from your invisible commas, well punctuated.

    I hope you do not have to come to class like a zombie again next week, because of the basketball practice you have to do everyday before the competition?

    Remember - you have six ghost stories to read before Hallowe'en!

    Sleep tight

  2. Toshiya, do you use texting? You know what texting is; it is when you use symbols or a group of letters to create a word. For example, do you know what "l8r" means?

    Texting is also great as it means people don't have to write long words in English and can get them down to a couple of letters. It is also common on Twitter.
