Sample Answer 1:

Telecommunication technology has played a vital role in information sharing


and bringing people closer. Its usage has become a basic necessity of life and
one cannot image to live without mobile phones. Prohibition of cell phones in
public places is laudable, but I don't agree fully and believe that their usage
should be allowed in public places but with some restrictions. 
On the one hand, using mobile phones in public places can distract other
people and divert their attentions. For instance, libraries where people reading
material of interest can be easily distracted through ringtones of incoming calls
or people talking over the phone loudly with their loved ones. Mobile phone
usage in public places like hospitals can easily interfere with the medical
equipment which can be harmful to the patient. Moreover, talking over the cell
phone can increase the sufferings of the patients waiting in the room to see
the doctor. Mobile phones can easily slip from the hand when someone
bumps in departmental stores it will not only damage the devices but it can
block the entire lane at the billing counter. Often the environment at shopping
malls, stores and other public avenue is very noisy and talking over cell
phones will add extra decibel. Moreover, its usage in Music galleries or
prayers room can result in discomfort for others and spoil their entertainment
or offerings. 

On the other hand, restricting usage of mobile phones in public places can
keep people away to stay in touch with their loved one in case of emergency
and so on. Mobile phones nowadays come up with cameras and other
services like Email, Entertainment and so on. This would keep them away
from capturing the pictures of events in music galleries or taking selfies in
public buses and sharing with their friends on the go. Moreover, people love to
listen to music during travelling will have little to enjoy. Cell phones can easily
be switched to silent/vibrate mode, this will not distract people due to loud
ringtones of incoming calls or messages.
