You should spend about 40 mins. Write about the following topic: Many people think that mobile phones should be banned in public places such as libraries, shops and public transport. Do you agree or disagree?

#mins #topic #people #phones #places #libraries #shops #transport
Many
people
 argue that using mobiles in public areas is not appropriate due to the noise and should
therefore
 be banned. I completely disagree with the idea as I believe
people
 can avoid causing a disturbance to
others
 with the correct
use
 of their cell
phones
.
First
 and foremost,
people
 carry their mobile
phones
 everywhere they go in the hope that they can be within the reach of their family members, potential customers, and friends at all times regardless of where they are. They are aware that there may be times when someone needs to contact them right away.
For example
, there could be a friend who needs help in case of emergencies
such
 as facing a car accident or a police officer informing them of the robbery in their house. If mobile
phones
 were banned in public
places
, they would be missing out on important updates.
Moreover
, some students
use
 their cell
phones
 in libraries for the purpose of studying.
For instance
, while reading a book in the library, they may need to
use
 an online dictionary on their mobile device to look up the unknown/unfamiliar word they come across.
Also
,
people
 can be educated to
use
 their
phones
 in a way that does not bother
others
 in public
places
such
 as putting their cells on silent or vibration mode so that they keep in touch with their beloved ones remotely or lowering their voices on calls in order not to disturb
others
. Some
people
 may say that mobile
phones
 in public
places
 are bad because it makes
people
 unaware of the discomfort they are causing
others
.
However
, I think it is not that serious compared to missing the news about the robbery in the house.
This
 problem can be addressed provided that individuals put their cells on silence in pubic-related areas or speak more quietly while answering their phone calls. In conclusion, even though mobile
phones
 cause trouble to the public to some extent, I do not think they should be banned in public
places
.
Instead
,
people
 should be encouraged to
use
 their mobile
phones
 more wisely in those areas.
