Good afternoon everyone. My name is Mohamed Alam and today I will be talking about mobiles phones. My presentation is divided into two parts. First of all, I will talk about the advantages of having a mobile phone. After that I will talk about their disadvantages. Please feel free to ask questions at the end of the presentation. Now, let’s get started.
As you know, mobile phones are very important. We can’t do without them. We need them to keep in touch with others. We can use mobile phones to talk to family members and friends. We also use them to do business. I can use my mobile phone for example to let the people in the office know that I will be late for a meeting. We can use mobile phones to access the internet. We can use them if we drive cars to get directions. We can also use them to listen to music and take digital pictures. In fact we depend on mobile phones a lot in our modern life.
Now let’s move on to the second part of the presentation. It is clear that mobile phones have some disadvantages. First of all, they are not cheap. People can spend hundreds of dollars to get the mobile phone they like. If you don’t pay your mobile phone bill on time, you will get a fine. When a new model comes out, you will be thinking of buying it. This will cost you money of course. We need to remember that mobile phones are small and are easy to lose. Thieves can stop you while you walk in the street and steal your mobile phone and run away. In addition to that, mobile phones can put your life in danger if you go to the wrong place. Using your mobile phone while you drive your car can cause danger. You can kill someone if you don’t pay attention while you drive your car. It is a fact that mobile phones can sometimes be dangerous.
It’s nearly time for me to finish the presentation. I would like to thank you for coming here today. Now if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.
