ielts speaking Part 2 and 3 about Mobile Phone

From my personal experience, when people go to an unfamiliar place and can't navigate the way out of trouble, a mobile phone often comes into use. l recall vividly as if it were yesterday the time when I left my cell phone at home during my backpacking trip. Unfortunately I got lost and couldn’t get into contact with my family back home. What I’m trying to say is that your life can even be put in danger without a phone in your pocket.

There is a world of differences in the ways two generations make use of their phones. As for elderly people, they would rather go for phones with simple designs and use it to communicate with their peers most of the times. By stark contrast, the youths are hooked on the latest models of smartphones with various functions besides communication like surfing the net, playing games. All this means that you often catch sight of some teenagers gluing their eyes on the smartphone screen reading some witty comments on Facebook or chatting with their buddies via messenger applications.

I prefer face-to-face conversations because I think it’s more personal when I talk in this way. Nowadays, the telephone is getting more and more popular. Sometimes, people would spend hours on their phones but neglect the people who live with them. I think it’s not a good phenomenon. We should treasure face-to-face talking opportunities and spend more time with our family members.

Yeah, definitely. Now a lot of people will feel that they can’t live without cell phones. People use cell phones as the way of communication and entertainment. Many people give up wearing watches because their cell phones can tell them the time. I think it may not be good for people to be dependent on cell phones too much because a lot of our time is killed by them without us being conscious of the fact.

Yes, of course. Some children bring cell phones to school and it really distracts them from studies. Now I know a lot of schools have strict rules to forbid students to bring cell phones to school. We also know the radiation problems of cell phone. Although we don't know exactly how serious it might be, it still makes us feel uncomfortable if we’re on the phone for a long time.

There're some disadvantages of talking on the phone. When we use the phone, we usually can’t see each other’s facial expressions, so we might have misunderstandings in phone conversations. Also, cell phones have radiation problems and it's not good for our health if we talk on the phone for a very long time. One more thing is that when we talk on the phone, we're not actually facing other people, so if there are other distractions, we might be distracted easily compared to face to face conversations.

The cell phone is one of the biggest inventions in this modern world. Because of the cell phone, we can communicate with others when we don't have the opportunities to talk to them face to face. We can chat with friends and family members who live far away from us and when we have emergencies, we can always press the buttons to call for help. However, there’re also some disadvantages. As we all know, radiation problem of the cell phone is serious. Also, when we use cell phones, we literally don't have any privacy because people can find us no matter where we are.
