Exposition Text
Mobile Phones Should Not be Banned in
School [Tittle]
Mobile
phones is not used just for calling, but sending text, taking pictures,
accessing internet, and much more. Many students bring their phones to school.
For them, mobile phone has many uses. So, mobile phones should not be banned in
school. Why do I said that? [Thesis]
Firstly, students call their
parents for other needs. By mobile phone, student can call or their close
relative if they need something to be brought to school. In addition, mobile
phone can be used to call their children when one of their family were hit by
disasters suddenly. And then, student can called their parent to pick her up
when want to go home. [Arguments]
Secondly, increased of knowledge
among students. When trying to find answer of difficult task at school, mobile
phone can be used as a connecting to search the answer through GPRS or WiFi
networks. [Arguments]
Finally, expand the network of
friendship among students. School is the right place to find friend. Average,
student been at school about 7 hours or more. So that, a lot of students found
their friend in the school environment . Therefore, communication between
friends should be kept on of which using a mobile phone. [Arguments]
So, I think mobile phone should
not be banned in school. But, use your phone in the time and right place so
that no one was disturbed. [Recommendation]
