Have you felt annoyed when a mobile phone rings during the class? Something must be done to stop this. Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out* in schools. Students can’t even bring mobile phones to school. Is it a good thing or not?
Anxious* parents say that mobile phones are an important tool* in holding New York City’s families together.
“I worry about it,” said Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid. “It’s necessary in our everyday life. We have a washing machine*, we have running water, and we have mobile phones. A number of Americans think mobile phones connect* them to children on buses, getting out from subways, walking through unknown* places.
“I have her call me when she gets out school,” said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl’s mother. “No one in New York is going to let their children go to school without a mobile phone.
What about the mobile phone owners, the students? Most of the students said that mobile phones were necessary and the mobile phone was like an extra* hand or foot for them.
“I feel so bored,” said May Chom, 14. “There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.

We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the north. |
| Tuesday, March 27th Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous(著名的) market which was on the water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables.

I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year. |
