I. Read the text carefully, and answer the questions below it.
Should Mobile Phones Be Banned from School?
Technology is growing fast
nowadays, and so is the technology
of communicating. For the sake of
communication, almost all children
beginning from 12 years old own
mobile phones. Do they need mobile
phones badly before they are 17? In
my opinion, mobile phones should
be banned from school.
Firstly, the children of the
above age seem to have been
addicted in using them. This
condition has changed the children’s
way in spending their spare time.
Children do not play together with their friends around them anymore. They tend
to enjoy their mobile phones either for playing games or networking. In other
words, mobile phones have separated close friends, although they connect people
all over the world.
Secondly, children tend to check their mobile phones every 5 minutes to see
whether or not there is a notification. This act has disturbed them to concentrate to
the lesson.
Thirdly, they seem not to be able to leave them at all. They bring them
anywhere, at home, school, or any other places they go. Children even have to
carry small bags wherever they move that, I think, they burden them, or at least
make them move uneasily.

2. Next, mobile phone radiation is very dangerous for human’s brain. A research
headed by Dr. George Carlo involving 200 doctors and researchers in the WTR
(Wireless Technology Research) projectfound that :
o Radiation from the handphone can cause DNA damage and impair the
DNA repair process.
o The handphones interfered with cardiac pacemakers.
o The radiation from the handphone increases the risk of brain
dysfunction, tumors, cancer, autism, attention deficit disorder and
neurodegenerative disease.
o In children, the handphone radiation causes behavioral and
psychological problems.
o It can cause lower sperm count
These data suggest that EMR (Electromagnetic radiation) emitted by
handphone influences human sperm motility. In addition to these acute adverse
effects of EMR on sperm motility, long-term EMR exposure can lead to
behavioral or structural changes of the male germ cell.
From the above facts, I believe that mobile phones should be banned from
school to reduce their using of them. I’m sure the banning of mobile phones from
school will help avoid the violent radiation.
