Parents
Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without? Many parents want their children to have phone so that they can be in contact at any time or in any place. On the other hand for lots of parents a phone is the source of possible danger. Parents worry that their child may meet the wrong kind of friends on social networking sites or that they might receive cruel messages from school bullies. Some parents have rules about their children s mobile phone and internet usage and bad behavior can result in removal of mobile privileges.
School
Mobile phones are permitted at school in the UK but pupils are not allowed to use them in class and they must be on silent during lesson. Teachers can take away phones if these rules are broken. School students can use their phones at break time and at lunch time. Some teachers in British school complain that pupils don't always follow the rules at that lesson are not disturbed by people texting, making and receiving calls, looking at social networking sites, watching videos and even making videos in the class.
Messaging
A mobile phone contract in the UK usually comes with a number of the text messages included in the price. Of course lots of people send messages completely free of charge using an app that is also free to download. If you want to send a text messages in English you need to know some abbreviations.
And if I had such opportunity , first of all I would go to London to walk along the streets and hear the English speech and, I hope , that I would understand, what the English are speaking about . And, of course, I would try to communicate with them in their native language.
Then I would go to the Buckingham palace to see the real Queen there. I am sure she is as kind as my grandmother! And, of course, I would admire the Changing of the Guard. One day I saw this wonderful show on TV!
After that I would visit the London Tower and feed the ravens. They say, if the ravens fly away, the Tower will ruin?! Is it true?!Returning home, I would buy souvenirs to all my relatives and friends. And as for me the trip to Great Britain would be the greatest gift!
