As is reported, China owns the most cell
phones in the world. The cell phones play an
important part in our daily life. By using it, we
can contact people at any time and in any place.
But one coin has two sides. People may use
them where they shouldn’t, like in the
classroom. Many people call their friends just
for fun and may end spending too much time on
the phone. As a result of using the cell phone,
people have fewer chances to communicate with
each other face to face.

Cell phones, or mobile phones, make it
possible for us to talk to anyone from
anywhere. Modern cell ones are more than
just phones—they are being used as cameras
and radios, and to send e-mail or surf the
Internet. New functions are being added to
the phones. The latest cell phones have an
electronic calendar that will remind you of
appointments and important dates.
Whereas, cell phones are sometimes being
used where they shouldn’t. Some schools don’t
allow students to use it in school, they
even take them away from their students , so
most of the students don’t dare to use them
in school.
