Mobile phones are now (1) parts of our lives.

Most people (2) feel them essential and could not manage (3) without
them. However, there are also some drawbacks (4) of owning and
using a mobile phone.
There are three main (5) reasons to having mobile phones. Firstly,
there is the (6) merit of being able to make or receive a phone call at
any time and in any place. Secondly, there are essential for (7)
keeping in touch with family and friends. Parents worried about their
children can always ring them to check (8) out they are safe and
children can let their parents know if they are going to be late home.
Finally, mobile phones can (9) safe lives. For example, if there is an
accident, help can be called immediately, (10) where the accident
takes place.
On the other hand, there are significant problems with the (11) existence of mobile phones. In the first
place, using mobile phones can cause accidents, for instance, when people are driving and using their
phones at the same time. In addition, the loud use of mobile phones in public places such as restaurants
and cinemas is rude and can be very (12) annoying for other people. Lastly, there has been an (13)
accident in street crimes directly related to mobile phones. People have been attacked and their phones
stolen from them.
In conclusion, I believe that, (14) despite the disadvantages, mobile phones are indispensible to modern
life and that the advantages to owning one are (15) much greater than the disadvantages.

READING

Different relationships affect teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the same
amount as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they could not
ask their parents about. Most of the time their friends give them good advice. In most cases they tell
their friends how to dress and act when being around certain people.
Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to
fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of doing their
work.
Parents have a big influence on teenagers because their children look up to them and the majority
of them grow up to act and do things just like their parents did with them. Children who have
experienced a family break-up may have lower achievements than children brought up in an intact
family.
As previously stated, teenagers are affected by many relationships which involve their friends,
family, and their love relationships. The relationships affect them so much that most teenagers change
their ideas about how they should live their lives in a different way and to change their future goals.
They should be influenced to help themselves or to help others.
