Solution

Honorable judge, and my dear schoolmates very good morning to one and all. Now I am going to speak that, mobile phone - a big boon for all of us. It is proved that everything in the world has both pros as well as cons. In my opinion, mobile phones are boon for those who use them for effective purposes.

Mobile phones are used for many purposes such as for playing games, listening to music, using social networking sites. Students use mobile phones for study purposes undoubtedly. If mobile phones are in the right hands, then they are a marvel. Now 1 want to ask a question. Is a knife a useful instrument or a perilous weapon? It depends on how it is used. Mobile phones are used to keep in touch with family members, for conducting business. The uses of Mobile phones are

  • Calling and messaging using a mobile phone.
  • Taking pictures and videos with camera
  • Browsing the internet
  • Using the flash as a flashlight
  • Being able to read books and documents
  • Sending e-mails to detached places
  • To know the time and to fix alarm, doing the calculation
  • Getting news from different channels.

So we can communicate with the people of any country within a few seconds. The world has become a global village with the touch of modem technology. Thank you (OR)

Distinguished judge, very good evening to one and all. Now I am going to speak about the disadvantages of using it! mobile phone. In my opinion, using a mobile phone every time is keeping you far from your friends, family, and other relatives. Firstly it is waste of time. So don’t waste your time because of cell phones, don’t use them much. Then the serious factor affects human health. It is the cause of waste the energy, during use of cell phone all the parts of the human body are spending energy on it like eyes, hands, and mind, etc. Then another biggest disadvantage for students is they have very high loss of their studies. So many of them get very bad results and get fail in the exam. The most important thing that it may cause death, some people use it during driving, which may cause accidents. Then if you have your personal images, videos or files, etc. on your device. Other people can easily steal your images and videos. Mobile phones are very expensive. People spend money on these which is a loss of money. Some people speak lies while talking on cell phones, which is fraud and make people more liar. Finally, I suggest you not use your mobile phone too much.

Thank you
