No Cell phone, No Life?

Do you have a cell phone with you now? Nowadays, many people have cell phone. In Japan, 96% of high school students have their own cell phone. Cell phones make our lives very convenient. We don’t have to bring a phone book with us anymore, and we don’t even have to memorize anybody’s phone number. However, there is a lot of crime by using cell phone recently, and most of its victims are young people. For example, a student clicked the link to access the homepage which is for adult and teenagers were banned to use. He just tried to make fun of it; however, just for the one click he was demanded a charge. Do you think those young people, such as junior high students and high school students, need cell phones? In my opinion, they do need cell phones with them. There are three reasons why I think they need cell phones.

First of all, many students go to cram school after classes of their high school or junior high school are over. Therefore, they sometimes go back home late. Their parents surely want to know what they are doing, where they are, and why they are late to go back home. Recently, there are many crimes everywhere and every day. They need to contact their parents to relieve them.

Second of all, a cell phone is very useful to do something. You can search for anything on the internet using a cell phone, and you can even shop. When I was in high school, I used to use my cell phone as a dictionary. It also can be a music player. You can look for the latest song on the internet, and download it, then listen it. Now, you don’t have to bring your music player, such as iPod. How convenient cell phones are.

Finally, they must have their own cell phones to keep in touch with their friends. Recently, most high school students have cell phones as I’ve mentioned. The first time you meet someone, he/she asks your e-mail address or cell phone number for sure. Especially young people, they think they can’t live without cell phones. People talk to each other in school, and send e-mails after school to be close friends. Now, it is more difficult to make friends.

In conclusion, the cell phones are now very important products for Japanese. For living, making friends, getting in touch with people, making phone calls, sending e-mails, using the internet, and taking pictures. I cannot even remember the time when I didn’t have my own cell phone. How did I remember all of my friend’s phone numbers? How did I make a plan to hang out with my friends? Many people surely have the same ideas about cell phones as I do. To live today, you can’t live comfortably without a cell phone.
