One of the rules in my family is that I’m not allowed to have a mobile phone. My parents think that using it will get in the way of my study, but I don’t agree with them.
First, the mobile phone provides me with an easy and fast way of communication. If I have a mobile phone, I can make a call when in an emergency. Second, the mobile phone can help me study. Now there are lots of educational apps on it that I can use.
Third, I can use the mobile phone to listen to music, play games or watch movies. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. I need to relax sometimes. For these reasons, I think I should be allowed to have a mobile phone. My parents can make rules about using it, for example, when and how long I can use it. I can do even better in my study if I’m allowed to have a mobile phone. I hope my parents will understand me.
5. 化“平凡”为“非凡”
It’s not good to spend all the time studying.
→ All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
