The use of mobile phone is as antisocial as smoking. Smoking is banned in certain places so mobile phone should be banned like smoking.

 To what extent do you agree or disagree?


Sample Answer 1
It is sometimes argued that mobile phones should be prohibited in public areas like smoking. In my opinion, it would be wrong to make this kind of decision due to various reasons.
First of all, many people agree to meet each other in public places, such as, gardens, parks and streets. If governments do not allow them to use mobile phones in these places, they might find it difficult to meet each other. For example, when they reached the particular place for meeting, they would not be able to call their friend to check where is he or she at the moment, hence, they can see each other. Recent surveys have shown that ninety percent of people use their phones frequently to find someone who he or she should see.
Furthermore, a lot of people enjoy using their mobile phones in public areas. For instance, they go to these places for having a good time such as playing a game by smartphone in a beautiful garden. It would be wrong to force these people to not use their phones in public areas for pleasure. However, if governments established rules for stopping usage of mobile phones in public areas this can
lead to some problems; for example, less number of people would prefer to spend their free time in public areas, and after a certain amount of time these places might become humanless.
In conclusion, governments should not stop people using their phones in public places because this can lead to several problems.

Sample Answer 2
People have different views about whether the use of mobile phones in public should be allowed.
In my opinion, I believe that it is not as harmful as smoking, and people should be allowed to use mobile phones in public places.
I believe that using mobile phones and smoking in public places are not equally considered to be antisocial. The main reason to ban smoking in certain places is passive smoking has a negative effect on public health, while mobile phones do not have.
Smoking, for example, is often forbidden in public places so as not to expose children to passive smoking, which can trigger health problems such as a cancer and a heart disease.
Unlike smoking, texting and calling do not cause fatal diseases to those who stand around mobile phone users. In other words, the levels of damaging effects that mobile phones and smoking have on society are not the same.
Moreover, I disagree with those who argue that mobile phones should be banned in public places.
Firstly, using mobile phones in public helps many people who are busy with work to manage their time more efficiently.
People, for instance, who do not have enough time can chat with their friends and family, work, and shop online while they travel or recharge their energy in certain places.
Secondly, education is enough effective to reduce problems of mobile phones.
Users, for instance, can be educated to have good mobile phone manners such as speaking quietly and putting it on vibrate mode.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones and smoking are not equally socially acceptable, and the use of mobile phones in public places should not be banned.

It is often considered by many that the usages of mobile phones in public places should be restricted as smoking has been. I completely agree with the banning of mobile phones in public places, especially where people are working and might get annoyed and interrupted.
Using mobile phones in public places causes several drawbacks, Firstly, it leads to various social problems. In other words, the use of mobile phones in public places causes serious offence. For example, recent researches showed that use of mobile phones while pedestrian crossing is the major cause of accidents in both developing and developed nations. Secondly, the lack of social interaction among individuals could be the consequence of mobile phones over usage in the public places. For instance, people travelling on the same bus become isolated and busy by surfing the internet on the mobile phones which lead to the lackings of communication among travellers.
In addition, there would be a scarcity of enjoyment in sightseeing while travelling. Take an example, if a person travelling by train through the countryside, the use of mobile phone makes them forget enjoy the fascinating places outside the compartment. Finally, talking loudly through mobile phones in public places such as church, mosque result in irritation, distress and disturbance to other individuals as mobile phones could be intrusive.
In conclusion mobile phone usage in public areas should be restricted to the welfare of the society and the citizens because the use of mobile phones in public is annoying as smoking.

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.
To conclude, the above points provide plausible arguments in favour of both views. However, I personally believe that cell phones should be allowed in public places but with some restrictions in place so that they can remain in touch with their friends and family members whenever they need.

Nowadays, mobile phones have become an inevitable part of life. Although they have made the communication much easier in each step of our daily life, some people opine that they should be restricted in public places such as libraries, shops and public vehicles. I, totally, support the view and the reasons for this will be discussed below.
Firstly, public places are usually expected to be quiet and peaceful so that they are acceptable to everyone and the uses of mobile phones in such places are likely to disrupt the desirable working environment. For instance, in a library, where people are pondering over the books, the constant mobile ringtones or the phone conversation will be intrusive or irritating.
Secondly, the use of mobile phones for luring activities as facebook chatting, taking pictures, playing games, listening songs and so on can prove to be undesirable in public places. It is quite noticeable that these days, teenagers are taking pictures everywhere, at libraries, trains, buses, roads, hospitals etc which is a matter of annoyance. An example of this is my friend, who once was taking selfies continuously on the train when the passenger beside her got offended. For these reasons, restrictions on mobile phones on public places would prove to be useful in creating a sense of comfort in public.
In a nutshell, although the merits of mobile phones are numerous, it would be a definitely good decision to ban them in public places as it would create a sense of comfort and a harmonious environment for all.

In recent decades, mobile phones have been used worldwide owing to its many modern and useful features. Some people believe that using cell phones is harmful to society and should be prohibited in specific places as smoking. While I accept that sometimes mobile phones usage can have negative effects on public areas, I believe that it is real necessary for people and so should not be banned.
On the one hand, it is a fact that using cell phones in public places where need to remain silent can disturb to other people. For example, in libraries, if you make a loud call or get a sudden ringtone from an incoming call, you can interrupt the reading process of others. This is considered impolite and not respectful other people nearby. Thus, cell phones should be set options for different cases to have not an influence on those around.
On the other hand, there are several reasons why mobile phones usage should not be prohibited. Firstly, it has many exciting apps which help people have a life easily like camera, send emails, browse the Web, play music and so on. It allows people to capture moments in their lifetime, support their work and entertain in their free time. Secondly, it also allows people to keep in touch with their loved anywhere or in the special case of emergency. For instance, distant lovers who do not live beside together can make a call or a video call every day. Looking many benefits metioned above, it is clear that mobile phones become indispensable devices of people.
In conclusion, it is true that cell phones can be antisocial. But it is not as bad as smoking ,so it should not be banned in some public places.

The mobile phone has become the most popular gadget in today’s world. Some people argue that usage of cell phones should be prohibited in the public places. Personally, I completely agree with this idea due to many reasons.
In my opinion, there are many health and social problems that can occur as a result of using mobile phones in public places. Socially, a mobile phone can be described as an intrusive tool. It can disturb others while they are concentrating and reading in some places like libraries. Mobile phone etiquette is an important issue when mobile ringing at movies or in the libraries. Users often speak with loud volume and annoy the others people nearby. It has become common practice for places like bookshops and libraries to post a sign prohibiting the usage of mobile phone.  Also, many public trains offer a 'quiet zones ' where phone use is banned.
Another lethal concern is the health problems that can be caused by using cell phones in the public places. Firstly, I believe that there is a strong correlation between the usage of the mobile phone in the public places, like public transportation and increased numbers of traffic accidents. Mobile have been a major distraction on the road even when using 'hands- free' system (talking without the involvement of the hands).Some studies have shown that talking on a phone while driving is equally impairing as drinking and driving.  Secondly, there are possible radiation impacts on the brain from the mobile phones, with increased possibility of certain types of tumours in long - time, to persistent heavy users.
Finally, the signal of mobile phones can cause serious problems in some public places like hospital and public transport by interfering with the signal of medical and communication devices. Even in the public transport if any patient wears implanted heart device, the mobile phone can interfere with it and it could be stopped completely. So mobile phone can have fatal consequences for patients in the hospital and other public places.

In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, I believe that the use of cell phones in the public places should be prohibited completely.
