Mobile phones should be banned from school

Mobile phones are here to stay. An overwhelming number of teenagers in Russia own one. Even so, there is a considerable disagreement over whether they should be allowed on school premises.

In my opinion, mobile phones should be banned in schools. The advantages of banning are undeniable. To begin with, mobile phones disrupt lessons. Students text each other during lessons and even use SMS messages to cheat in exams. What is more, mobile phone theft is a serious issue in many schools. A final key argument is the disturbing rise in the number of cases of bullying by text message or making unpleasant videos of classmates.

On the other hand, many people are against the ban. Teenagers and their parents alike are concerned about the question of safety, both in schools and on public transport nowadays, and see mobile phones as a vital way of keeping in touch. They also say that mobile phones may soon actually be used in class, for instance, as a means of finding out information if the computer is not available.

To my mind, teenagers can use mobile phones to let their parents know they have safely come to school and switch off the phones while at school. If school authorities think that mobile phones can be used as the Internet access, they should introduce clear rules to make sure that phones are not misused.

All in all, school is for learning, and if mobile phones interfere with learning, they should be banned.

Which person is a street robber more likely to steal from?

It doesn't take a genius to stop street crime

Решение.

Решение 2.

Какой человек, скорее всего, будет ограблен уличным грабителем?

Ответ:

A street robber is more likely to steal from the boy. He appears distracted by his phone and headphones, making him less aware of his surroundings and therefore a more vulnerable target. The girl seems more alert and aware.

Уличный грабитель, скорее всего, ограбит мальчика. Он выглядит рассеянным, глядя в свой телефон и слушая музыку в наушниках, что делает его менее осведомленным об окружающей обстановке и, следовательно, более уязвимой мишенью. Девочка выглядит более внимательной и бдительной.
