Text Sample for oral reading exercises
Cell phones are everywhere: in cars, in restaurants, at concerts, and even on the subway. I
worry a lot about drivers who use cell phones. They pay more attention to the telephone
conversations that they are having than to the drivers around them. When they are on the
phone, they are not concentrating on other cars, making turns, or stopping at red lights. They
are really dangerous.
Talking on a cell phone in a public place may not be as dangerous, but it is annoying. I don’t
understand why, but when people are on the phone, they are loud, much louder than they are
in face-to-face conversations. Even worse, people discuss very personal subjects that I don’t
want to know about. For example, the other day, I was going home on the bus and I heard a
phone ringing. The passenger in the seat behind me took out her cell phone and answered.
“Yes, they had a good time at the party last night.” “Of course, Ricky was there.” “Oh, no, he
was there with Susan.” “Oh, didn’t you hear? He broke up with Marlene.”
I had to listen to these personal details about people that I don’t know and don’t care about. I
finally got tired of this conversation that I got up, got off the bus, and walked the rest of the
way home. I wanted to have a little peace and quiet.
