A very good morning to the honourable judges, teachers, parents and my fellow friends.

Today,
on this fine day, I would like to present a public speech about ‘the advantages and disadvantages
of bringing handphone to school. It is an issue where it could be implemented soon. Before it
takes place, let's look the pros and cons of this matter.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Handphones, mobile phones, and tablets are becoming common in almost everywhere in our
society, even now, small children have it too. Today, It has become a must have item to
everyone. Even now, If I ask the audience, whether they have a handphone, probably almost all
will say yes, isn't? Well, as for now this question exclude the students, because students are still
prohibited to bring handphone to school, but if students are allow to bring handphone, most
probably, all the audience in this hall, will say yes.

But then, is it a good idea to allow students to bring handphone to school ? In every story, there
are two sides of contracting ideas, therefore, I would like to take this opportunity, to let the
audiences know the advantages and disadvantages of allowing students to bring handphone to
school.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me start my speech by stating the first advantages of student bring phone to school that is, to
make communication easier, especially between parents and their children. It will allow them to
communicate with each other at any time. In the past, parents often never knew where their
children were until they came home. With handphone, parents can check up on their kids and
arrange transportation or relay important information if necessary at any time they want. Like for
example, the children can tell their parents what are their activities and thus make the parents
less worry about their children whereabouts.

Secondly handphones can be an invaluable tool in emergency situations. For instance, if a

student is severely injured or there is a crisis situation, the phones can allow students to contact
authorities or anyone for help.
Now, I will focus on the disadvantages of student bring phone to school. Firstly is about theft
issue. With more and more attractive phones available, there are good chances of phone being
snatch or theft. This happen because some pupils might not be able to afford it, thus, the only
way for them to have it, is by steal it. Students also can make extra money too by stealing the
handphone and sell it.
Moreover, students can at times be clumsy when keeping their things. We all know that once the
item is gone, it will be gone forever. The price of handphone is not cheap, and when the theft
issue arise, it can cause a lot of other trouble.
Secondly, the phone can may cause distraction in lessons. Some students that did not shut off
their phone and suddenly get a phone call, will disturb the lesson in the class
Ladies and Gentleman,
I have line out the pros and cons of allowing students to bring handphone to school. Now, it is up
to us to decide and choose what is the best decision on this issue. Well then, I arrived at the end
of my speech, and thus I would like to thank all for lending your ears. Therefore, I end my
speech with thank you very much and good bye. Thank you.
