Some people believe that cell phones should be for personal use only; others, however, feel cell phones should be used mostly for work. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
It is often argued that mobile
phones
should be used exclusively for personal purposes, while others consider them to be used basically for
work
. While the production of
phones
makes up a considerable part of the entertainment industry and the working sphere by gaining great popularity.
This
essay will discuss both views and will draw my own opinion.  On the one hand, the cell phone is a multifunctional device that opens up a number of new features.
This
tool is indispensable because absolutely everyone can find and develop themselves in any field of interest to them.
For instance
, the famous author of best-selling books, Leigh Bardugo, used to
work
part-time as a make-up artist, but the application on the mobile phone played a significant role in
this
success story.
On the other hand
,
phones
are
also
essential at
work
, as employees should always be in touch with both the employer and clients. When you have a phone at hand, you feel more confident, more productive and a lot of paperwork does not seem like a terrible dream. Two years ago, my mother's boss banned the use of cell
phones
during working hours, but now when the ban has been eliminated, it has become much easier to
work
, because interaction with customers has been established. Taking everything into account,
although
phones
are quite often used for different personal objectives, they are necessary for workers to improve performance. In my opinion, I believe that they should be used more in a balanced way both for
work
and at home.
