Topic
Due to the fact that an increasing number of students have been caught using their phones during
class, your school has decided to ban mobile phones entirely. Any student caught bringing their
phones on campus will be severely disciplined. You and your friends are very upset about this new
rule. Write a letter to your principal persuading him to lift the ban.
Your letter should include:
Why it is necessary for students to have mobile phones in school
Any other advantages of bringing mobile phones to school
A suggestion on how to stop the increasing usage of phones in class
