Choosea, b, c or d for the correct answer

I strongly believe that mobile phones are necessary. My reasons for this belief are that these
phones are convenient for business people who travel a lot, and they are handy for emergencies.
To begin with, mobile phones are necessary in the case of emergencies. For instance, if you fall
down a set of stairs in a building and are badly injured and can’t reach a pay phone, it is handy to have one
to use. Or, if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in a strange neighbourhood, it would be
dangerous to leave it in search of a public phone booth.
My other main reason is that mobile phones are convenient for business people. For example, if
you are out of the state or even overseas and you have to contact a client to do some important work, it is
useful to have one to use. By using a mobile phone, important information can be received. People can’t
stay in an office all day waiting for their phone to ring. Some people have to go and do jobs or they will go
out of business. You can even send faxes or messages and use the internet with your mobile.
In conclusion, I believe that mobile phones have now become a necessary part of every day life.
Instant communication will ensure that information can be passed on with a simple press of a button.
Whether this is to do with business or personal information or emergencies, it goes to show that they are
necessary in the new millennium.

I personally think that reading is a very important activity in our life. Why do I say so?

technology. Sports, arts, culture, etc written in either books, magazine, newspaper, etc.
Secondly, by reading we can get a lot of news and information about something happening in any parts
of the world which can we see directly. Another reason, reading can give us pleasure too. When we are
tired, we read books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment coloumn such as comedy, short story,
quiz, etc to make us relaxed.
