A loud noise suddenly hurts your ears while you enjoy a movie in the cinema. A stranger makes you jump as he shouts at his friend on the other side of the city. Mobile phones are everywhere and sometimes they can be very annoying. Although they are necessary for modern life, it is common to hear people complain about mobile phones.
Most public places have mobile phone rules. So try to keep your phone ringer as low as possible or put it on vibrate mode(震动模式). A good time to leave your phone at home would be at school or when visiting a hospital.
If you need to make or take a call while in a meeting or at a restaurant or a theater, leave the room. If you are waiting for a call, get a seat near the door. It is polite to tell others at the beginning that you are waiting for an important call. When you get a call and you are with friends, keep the call short and speak quietly. A good way to make sure that people don’t interrupt you and others is to tell your friends when it’s a good time to call.
