8 Read the article about a new kind of mobile phone. The headings are missing from the article. Choose from
the headings A–E the one which fits each gap.
1 ………………………
Mobile phones are an important part of our lives and most of us can’t imagine life without one. They keep us in contact
with friends and family at all times and when we have a problem we can call immediately for help. Now parents can buy a
special mobile phone for their four-year-old children. Is this a way to help protect our young children or is it a silly idea?
2 ………………………
The phone is called ‘My Moby’ and it looks like a toy, but it isn’t. It comes in many colours and young children love it. It
has five buttons and two of them call ‘Mum’ and ‘Dad’. Of course, the parents control all the numbers in the phone and
the idea is that the child can call their parents when they want to. And of course the parents can call the child too.
3 ………………………
Many parents like the idea and they think it’s good for their children’s safety. For example, if they’re worried, the parents
can phone their child, and if the child gets lost, they can call home! They also think it’s a good idea if children learn how
to use modern technology like mobile phones.
4 ………………………
However, not everyone agrees that it’s a good idea and some people are angry about the idea. They think children today
are growing up too fast. They want to be like adults when they are very young and this isn’t good for them. They believe
that children need to enjoy their childhood and they think it’s a very bad idea to give a four-year-old a mobile phone.
They say it’s unnecessary and it can be dangerous for their health. They also say that young children don’t need a phone
because they are always with an adult.
5 ………………………
So, is it a good idea or not? Can phones be good for protecting our children or are they just good for the phone company?
What do you think? Send us your comments.
A Tell us what you think C Designed for children E Good for parents and their
B A new mobile phone D Do children need mobile phones? children
