8. Write your essay (180-200 words) using your notes from exercise 7.
(Viết bài luận của bạn (180-200 từ) sử dụng ghi chú của bài tập 7.) Gợi ý đáp án
In today's digital age, mobile phones have become indispensable tools for
communication, especially among young people. While the ability to always be in contact
with parents offers several advantages, it also comes with its fair share of disadvantages.
Firstly, the availability of mobile phones ensures safety and security for young
individuals, providing them with a means to reach out to parents in case of emergencies
or when feeling unsafe. This not only offers peace of mind for parents but also fosters a
sense of trust and independence in young people as they navigate through various situations.
However, there is a downside to constant connectivity. Overreliance on parents via
mobile phones may lead to a lack of self-reliance and problem-solving skills among
young individuals. Additionally, the dependency on technology for communication can
erode face-to-face interaction skills and contribute to a generation that struggles with
interpersonal relationships. Moreover, the potential for constant distraction posed by
mobile phones can hinder productivity and focus, impacting academic performance and overall well-being.
In conclusion, while the ability to always be in contact with parents through mobile
phones offers undeniable advantages in terms of safety and peace of mind, it's essential to
recognize and mitigate the drawbacks such as overreliance, dependency on technology,
and the potential for distraction. Balancing connectivity with healthy boundaries is
crucial for fostering independence and well-rounded development among young individuals.
