问题     Nowadays, the mobile phone seems to be a must for everyone. Although a large number of children have mobiles until recently, it has often been the case that schools banned the use of mobiles.

Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:

    Brilliant: Mobile phones are expensive. First there is the cost of buying the phone. Then there are all the charges for using it. Often there are more charges for downloading apps and other extras. Sometimes we go over the limits of our call time or data allowance and are charged extra. Finally there may be extra costs when the phone needs to be replaced or upgraded. The average cell phone bill in the United States is $ 70 for a month but it can sometimes be much higher. Clearly not every child can afford their own mobiles and often parents can’t either.
    Emily: Having a mobile phone helps us learn in a lot of different ways. First, we learn about technology—about how to use the mobile phone. Second, most phones today have apps to enable users to learn using the phone, or through the Internet. Phones can access online courses and lessons which can be provided in fun ways and can in some cases instantly tell you if you have the right answer. It may even sometimes be possible to do homework on a phone and send it to your teacher. Even without the Internet, phones can be used to provide short assignments, or to provide reminders to study.
    Din-nib; Mobile phones can easily distract us. They can be a particular problem in schools where they discourage us and those around us from working. Using a mobile phone while doing a piece of work will reduce your concentration making it more likely to make mistakes. Mobile phones, like video games, are also a distraction from doing other things. We don’t just use phones for communication but also for games. Most young people spend well over an hour on their mobiles. As a result, there is much less time for other activities.
    Peter: Mobile phones bring us increased independence. Being able to use a mobile phone is clearly a basic skill to allow children to be independent. It means that they are not dependent on an adult being with them for parents to know where they are. The main reason for parents being unwilling to let children out on their own is fear for their safety. This is a fear that mobiles help prevent. This increased independence has other benefits, such as teaching us to be responsible for ourselves.
    Eileen: Mobile phones are a part of a desire to keep up with the fashion and friends. We all want the biggest and the best. Mobile phone companies know this and regularly bring out flashy new models that are immediately the one everyone must have. The more children have mobiles, the more they are caught up in this fashion. Our compulsion to want new things all the time is not good for us. Mobile phones, as with many other electronics, are damaging to the environment. Since we buy them and often dispose of the phone only a couple of years later and finally they pile up in gigantic rubbish dumps. Mobile phones are clearly a luxury and not something that everyone should have, and we certainly should not keep buying new ones.

答案                 Should Every Child Have a Mobile Phone?
    Recently, an online survey shows that 81% of the asked said they would turn back for their phones, if they were left at home. In actuality, mobile phones are indispensable to our young generation just as opium pipes to our great-great-fathers nearly one and a half centuries ago, however, it would ruin the way of thinking and the power of will, and humans history has witnessed numerous doomed destiny of a generation even a nation due to the absence of the above two trainings.
    Some individuals hold the opinion that mobile phones can be helpers in schooling and parenting in terms of providing diversified ways of learning, and erasing excessive concerns for the safety of children. On the contrary, others contradict that phones can easily distract the attention and meet the insatiable desire for the new even at the cost of money and the environment.
    Specifically, mobile phones may play a negative role in training trainees’ thought and will at the decisive stage from childhood to young adolescence. Firstly, the journey of mental maturity has its remarkable feature of systematic thinking, extracting knowledge from the sea of information, which requires steps of gathering, accumulating, analyzing, evaluating and applying instead of the omnipotent searching engine, like Yahoo or Google with easy-to-get answers. Furthermore, the absence of the eligible way of thinking would have disastrous consequences in one’s adulthood, such as the incapability to independently tell right from wrong. On the other side of the training, the abundant amusing and funny digital entertainment resources transmitted by mobile phones would overwhelm the young generation who subsequently would take the indolent and painless way of life for granted. As a matter of fact, the acquisition of problem-solving ability requires the painstaking discipline and self-assessment, because courage and wisdom can be cultivated only after pains and sufferings in solving problems, as is said by Benjamin Franklin, "Those things that hurt, instruct." Correspondingly, those grown-ups who have the deficiency in self-control at their tender years would meet unexpected outcomes, such as the sense of impotence, the character disorder, the procrastination, and the irresponsibility.
    To conclude, early exposure to mobile phones would definitely deal a crushing blow on the two significant aspects of mental maturity for the young generation, that is, the way of thinking and the tempering of the will.
