So I’d like to share an occasion when I was not allowed to use my mobile phone. It was during the university final exams which was held in a university hall. So we had our final examinations and none of us were allowed to take our phones with ourselves. that’s why we were asked to leave our phones before coming into the room or leave it on the desks of a teacher. So it was about this situation happened during the winter semester when we had our final exams. Well, and you know, like At the university we have strict rules regulation, that’s why, and we have strong academic integrity, that is why we’re not allowed to cheat or plagiarize someone’s answers or copy from the internet. That’s why all the time during the examinations, during the task assessments, we have to do it fairly. But you know, to be honest, I wasn’t ready to take the exam. That’s why I secretly took two smartphones with myself. I just gave one of them and another one I left for myself in order to pleasure your eyes. But then one of the checkers actually saw my phone and they confiscated it. But I was allowed to sit and continue my examination process. So, and you know, honestly, I know that I did a bad job by trying to copy something from the internet. And it was unfair towards other students and teachers who were assessing us. And still, I felt like I had no other choice.

So I'd like to share an occasion when I was not allowed to use my mobile phone. It was during the university final exams, which were held in a university hall. We had our final examinations, and none of us were allowed to take our phones with us. That's why we were asked to leave our phones before coming into the room or leave them on the desks of a teacher. This situation happened during the winter semester when we had our final exams. At the university, we have strict rules and regulations, and we have strong academic integrity. That is why we're not allowed to cheat, plagiarize someone's answers, or copy from the internet. During the examinations and task assessments, we have to do it fairly. To be honest, I wasn't ready to take the exam, so I secretly took two smartphones with me. I gave one of them away, and I kept the other one for myself to use. However, one of the invigilators saw my phone and confiscated it. I was allowed to sit and continue my examination process. Honestly, I know that I did a bad job by trying to copy something from the internet. It was unfair to other students and teachers who were assessing us. Still, I felt like I had no other choice.
