【范文欣赏】Recently our class had a heated

discussion about whether middle school

students can go to school with mobile

phones. Our opinions are as follows.

Some students think mobile phones

can help them keep in touch with their

friends, especially their family

whenever they need. Besides, games in

the mobile phone offer more fun to

them.

However, the other students think

they should not bring their mobile

phones to the class, because the ring of

phones can disturb teachers and

students in class, and even worse,

it will influence their study. Meanwhile

they will spend too much time and

money on phone calls and sending

messages.

Personally, I’m strongly against

students using mobile phones in class.

Only in this way can we create a quiet

environment for our studies.
