Should mobile phones be allowed at school?
Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular among middle school students. But people have different opinions about whether mobile phones should be allowed at school or not.
Everything has two sides and mobile phone is not an exception,it has both advantages and disadvantages. Some students hold the opinion that they should take their mobile phones to school, which bring them conveniences. First, they can learn about the world and the latest information in time. Second, it's convenient for them to communicate with their parents and friends. Moreover, they can surf the Internet at any time in any where to get the message they want to know. However, others are against using phones at school, as they think students get addicted to phones easily, especially playing on-line games. Spending too much time on phones has bad effect on their study, whilch may also influences their sleep and does harm to their eyesight.
As far as I am concerned, middle school students have a weak self-control, mobile phone does more harm than good, so it shouldn't be allowed at school.

Is it necessary to study abroad?
In recent years, a large number of students have gone to foreign countries to study. Different people have different opinions about it.Some people who hold a positive attitude believe that studying abroad is a good way for students to improve themselves. However, other people have different opinions. From my point of view,the advantages are much greater .
There are many advantages in studying abroad. To begin with, students who have studied abroad can expose themselves to the language surroundings there, which is beneficial to learning the foreign language well.Besides, it can make the students more independent and learn to cooperate with others. In addition, they can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries, and at the same time broaden their horizons. Last but not least, they can introduce Chinese culture to people all over the world.
All in all, studying abroad is a good idea. Not only will they have a better language environment to study English, but also they can learn to live independently.

There are many disadvantages in studying abroad. Studying abroad means costing an arm and a leg, which may be a heavy burden for some families. What's more, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. In addition,some students may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings.
To sum up,one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages.
You should consider this factors when you think about studying abroad.
