There are social, medical and technical problems associated with the use of mobiles. What forms do they take? Do the problems outweigh the benefits?

5.Model1范文分析

Model 1

Mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and the number of people using them has grown hugely, especially in developing countries. There is some debate about the safety of mobile phones, but in my opinion, the benefits from these phones are far greater than any possible health risks.

There is some concern that mobile phones may cause brain damage or cancer because of the radiation they emit while they are being used. Some people are also worried that cell phone towers may be bad for health. However, researchers have conducted experiments over many years to find out if this is true, and so far they have found no evidence for this.

On the other hand, mobile phones have many benefits, both for individuals and for isolated communities. They help individuals to communicate quickly and easily, and they can be used both for social reasons and in emergencies. For example, people can use them to contact their friends and, if they use texting, the phones are cheap and convenient. They are also very useful if someone has an accident while driving. In addition, isolated communities which do not have land lines can use mobile phones to contact the outside world, and this is much cheaper than installing landline phones.

In conclusion, although some people are worried about the health risks of cell phones, there is little or no evidence for this. However, there is a lot of evidence for the benefits of cell phones, so in my opinion we should not worry about the dangers of cell phone use.

6.Model2范文分析

Model 2

More and more people are using mobile phones nowadays, and the number of people using these phones in their cars has increased. There is some debate about the safety of mobile phone use in cars. Some people believe they make car travel safer but others think they can cause accidents. This essay will evaluate these two ideas and give my opinion.

Mobile phones can make car travel safer because they allow people to quickly and easily contact emergency services if there is an accident. For example, if someone sees an accident while driving, they can call an ambulance and help can arrive very quickly. Similarly, if a driver is threatened by other drivers or by thieves, he can lock his car doors and contact the police without leaving his vehicle. In addition, mobile phones can help people to get directions if they get lost while travelling to their destination.

However, although mobile phones can increase safety, they should not be used to chat while driving. This is very dangerous, because it can lead to loss of concentration and to car accidents. The three main causes of car accidents are careless driving, alcohol and talking while driving. Even a hands-free phone is dangerous, because the driver is not concentrating on the road while he or she is talking.

In conclusion, although mobile phones can make driving safer in some situations, we should not use them to talk to our friends or family while we are driving. This is very dangerous, and causes many accidents every year.
