Passage 5
As we know mobile phones have become more and more popular among people, especially the young. But whether having a mobile phone is good or not for students is being discussed widely. Recently we have had a discussion about it.
Opinions(观点) are divided(分成) into two groups on the question。 60% of the students are against（反对） the idea of taking a mobile phone to school. They think that it is no need for a teenager to use a mobile phone. On one hand, they will spend too much on the expensive fees （费用）and it will be a heavy burden(负担) on their families. On the other hand, it will be a waste of time. Some students fall behind in their study, for they spend too much time playing games and sending messages. Sometimes the ring of phones disturb(打扰) the teacher and the students. And it is not so good for a teenager to compare(比较) his phone with the others.
But 40% of students believe that it is very convenient(方便的) for them to communicate with their families and friends by mobile phone when something unexpected(没有预料的) happens. It is very cool to have a smart mobile phone. Nowadays mobile phones are cheaper and cheaper. They make it easier to keep in touch with friends and families.
