Mobile Phones
Almost everyone has a mobile phone today. Our phones are very useful. We use them to call our parents and friends, search the web, send messages... and, sometimes, play some games!
We love our mobile phones. We think that our life would be impossible without them.
But our parents often get grumpy when they see that we are doing someting in our phone instead of just talking to them.
I think, that even though we sometimes are desperate to talk to a friend, communicating with your mum would be better. Always remember your parents!:)
