a Have mobile phones improved communication for
teenagers?
b Are teenagers too dependent on mobile phones?
Twenty years ago, mobile phones were for business people.
Nowadays, it's impossible to find a teenager without one, but are
mobiles the best way for teenagers to communicate? Mobiles can
be useful. Firstly, they allow teenagers to communicate with their
friends and family anywhere, anytime. Sending text messages is
also quick and cheap. What's more, mobiles help you organise
your life, and you can tell your parents what you're doing so they
don't worry
However, there are negatives. For one thing, you might not
have a signal, especially in the countryside. In addition, if you are
in a noisy place, you can't hear your mobile ring. Lastly, using it all
the time can be expensive.
On balance, I think mobiles have definitely improved
communication for teenagers. Nevertheless, they mustn't use
them too much.
