The Benefits and Drawbacks of Mobile Phones and Technology

7Write about 100 to 150 words on the following topic. Describe a situation in which a cell phone could be really useful.

I am going to talk about a situation where the mobile phone can be useful in a situation. I can imagine a lot of situations in which having a mobile phone could be really useful, even decisive.

First of all, if an accident happens, having a mobile phone will be the better, faster, and easier way to call the emergency services. Secondly, we could be witnesses of a crime, and our mobile phone can be used to phone the police in that case. Moreover, thinking in more probable scenes, we can get lost on a bus and we can text or call our parents or friends so they don´t have to wait for us for so long. Finally, it is great in case of being a father or mother because you can text and call your children every time you need to know where they are. To sum up, a mobile phone can be decisive in your life, for this reason, if I were you, I would always have my mobile with me.

To sum up, a mobile phone can be decisive in your life, for this reason, if I were you, I would always have my mobile with me. But, it is not necessary for you to become an addicted person.


Does technology help you save time or make you waste it? Explain your views. 11

I’m going to talk about whether technology saves time or not in our real life. In my opinion, technology does both things, it helps us but it is also a waste of time.

I consider technology to be very useful and practical in lots of occasions to save time. First of all, I would say that this is a really interesting and modern question, because nowadays we daily use high technologies, such as computers, mobile phones, TVs, video games, and others. In consequence of this fact, we are now very dependent on this kind of technology.

However, the question is if I save or waste time when I use one of these technological devices. From my point of view, I sometimes don’t really need to use them, but we take many facilities from them and they have become the solution for everything. But on the other hand, I could ask my parents, colleagues, or friends for help instead of looking for information in a website or in my Smartphone, because this would be wasting my time.

 In conclusion, technologies have more advantages than disadvantages for helping us. But, be careful, a strong addiction can be dangerous for your health.


13 Do you think Spanish teenagers are addicted to their mobile phones? Give reasons for your answer

I’m going to talk about young Spaniards, whether addicted or not to their mobile phones. In my opinion, not only Spanish teenagers are addicted to their mobile phones, but also a lot of adults are addicted as well.

First, our society has changed, and having a mobile phone is important to keep in touch with other people. This fact and social networks have created the need to have our phones in our hands all the time. Second, teens use their mobile phones to meet friends, flirt with people they like, etc. However, it is true that it has become an addiction, sending messages, calling, watching videos from YouTube…

In short, a lot of people have become addicted and use their mobile phones every day, everywhere, and all the time. We should try not to be so dependent on mobile phones.

I’m going to talk about learning online. It is difficult to know if one day online learning will substitute traditional education, but it has a lot of advantages.

First, you can wake up whenever you want, and organize your own schedule, so you are paying for other things. Secondly, you can follow your pace and go slower or faster depending on your level. However, it is true that a teacher always helps with doubts. And perhaps be at home that they do not understand in the same way as in person. That would be a disadvantage. Finally, if you study at home, you will save a lot of money because you do not need to take public transport, and you also save thinking of clothes.

In conclusion, online learning has many advantages, but we do not know if it will replace normal or presidential education. In my opinion, I do not think so. Traditional education has worked so far and I think it will continue as well.

 I´M GOING  TALK ABOUT IF THE EXTRATERRESTRIALS HAVE EXISTED ON THE EARTH.

IN MY OPINION THE FOREIGNERS COULD BE ON THE EARTH BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE. THERE IS NO PROOF THAT DEMUTER THAT IS.

FIRST OF ALL, A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY HAVE SEEN UFOs OR ALIENS OR STRANGE THINGS THAT CAN´T BE EXPLAINED BUT THERE AREN´T EVIDENCES.

SECONDLY, THE UNIVERSE IS SUPPOSED TO BE INFINITE AND FOR THIS REASON, IT SOUNDS LOGICAL THAT IN OTHER GALAXIES LIFE COULD BE POSSIBLE, BECAUSE IN OUR GALAXY THERE IS A PLANET, OUR PLANET, EARTH, IN WHICH THERE IS LIFE. WHY SHOULD WE BE THE ONLY ONES? MAYBE IN OTHER SIMILAR GALAXIES THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE US OR MAYBE, DUE TO DIFFERENT CARACTERISTICS THERE ARE OTHER LIVING THINGS THAT WE DON´T KNOW…

To sum up, we do not know any other species or exotic of other planets, but it is a possibility. We will have to wait for the scientists to prove us.
