Dear Editor,
Recently our class has had a discussion about whether the cellphone benefits us or not.
Some students have a preference for cellphones. Cellphones make it more convenient to keep in touch with friends and relatives. The instant they switch on cellphones, they can obtain relevant learning resources. Nevertheless, there are some students who are opposed to using cellphones too much. So occupied (in) playing cellphones are many students that they keep those around them at a distance. Besides, with many unhealthy websites on the Internet, they will suffer a lot physically and mentally.
Personally, I advocate that all the students (should) combine using cellphones with face-to-face communication.
Yours,
Li Hua
