Using a mobile
phone
 in public
places
 sometimes annoys
people
 around, and it is regarded as a bad manner.
Therefore
, some
people
 want to prohibit it in the same way as smoking. In my opinion, talking on a mobile
phone
 in public
places
 should be banned.
However
, browsing the internet or texting has become so essential to our lives that almost nobody wants to restrict it. Talking on a mobile
phone
 should not be allowed in public
places
 because it is loud enough to make
people
 around unhappy. There are some
people
 who take a mobile
phone
 and start talking on a train. Since trains make a loud sound when they move,
people
 tend to use a loud voice unconsciously. As a train is a closed box, the voice reflects on the wall.
Thus
, it makes
people
 around annoyed.
Therefore
, speaking on a mobile
phone
 should be banned in public
places
.
However
, a mobile
phone
 has become so important that we cannot restrict all the activities on a mobile
phone
, even in public
places
. When I ride a train and look around, almost everyone uses their mobile phones. They usually do not talk on the
phone
 but browse the internet, text or read a book silently. Everyone seems to enjoy staying in
this
 public place.
Hence
, all the activities on a mobile
phone
 cannot be restricted anymore. For the reasons I discussed, talking on a mobile
phone
 should be banned because it annoys
people
 around.
Nevertheless
, we rely on mobile phones much, and I suppose everyone understands to use a mobile
phone
 except for talking.
