I would like to talk about a mobile phone that I was given and really wanted. Last year my mother gave it to me as a gift because she thought it would be useful for my studies. At first she didn’t want to give me a phone because she believed that using is too much could harm my age and brain. But eventually she had no choice as I needed it for school and learning. Honestly, my mobile phone is very important to me. I use it to do homework, search for information and improve my English. For example, I use creativity to practice writing and speaking. I also watch YouTube channels of English teachers which helps me improve my listening and pronunciation. In addition, my phone helps me be more creative and productive every day. Although using a mobile phone too much can be bad for my health, I try to use it in a useful way. I believe that if I use my time wisely, the phone can actually help me prepare for the IELTS exam. I would also advise other not to waste too much time on games or social media. If you use it properly, a mobile phone can be great tool for learning.
