Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had on whether mobile phones should be brought to school. Opinions on the question are divided as follows.
Sixty percent of the students subscribe to the view that students can bring a mobile phone to school because it has many advantages. If a student has a mobile phone, he she can contact his parents and friends easily. (It is convenient for a student who carries a mobile phone to get in touch with his/her parents and friends.) He can also take pictures and enjoy music to relax himself. Besides, it’s fashionable to have a mobile phone.
While 40 percent of the students are opposed to the view, because with mobile phones some students may have a chat on the Internet and be addicted to playing games. What is worse, some even get into the habit of sending text messages to their friends. Thus, students may not focus their attention on (concentrate on /pay much attention to) their lessons. If by chance the phone is not turned off, the ringing will disturb the class. Furthermore, using mobile phones will add to their parents’ economic burdens.
Actually, students should place their study before other things and there is no need for us to use mobile phones. Personally, I don’t think it’s a good idea to bring mobile phones to school,
Yours sincerely
Li Ming
