Hello, lovely.
I'm Maria, and my name is Rory, and we are the hosts of the IELTS speaking for Success podcast, the podcast that aims to help you improve your speaking skills as well as your listening skills.
Along the way, we started this podcast to give you a look at how an educated and experienced native speaker would answer some of the most common ielts speaking questions.
Rory, are you listening to me or what?
Rory?
Oh, sorry, Maria.
I was just checking my phone there.
What a coincidence.
On this podcast again, today we're gonna be talking about how awful mobile phones are.
Yes, dear listener.
In speaking part three, they can ask you questions about mobile phones.
Actually, they can ask you questions about mobile phones in speaking part one.
But today Rory is gonna answer some questions from speaking part three.
Going to rant about mobile phones.
Rory, do you think we should set up laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones?
Well, on the face of it, it seems like a good idea, given the negative effects they sometimes have, but I'm not sure it's something that you could legislate for very well, given how well they're pretty much endemic at this stage.
So it's probably easier to work around the problem to try and solve it.
So with that in mind, it's maybe better.
Parents or people, sorry, guardians, are encouraged to take control of the situation and educate their kids about how to use mobile phones effectively.
Do you think children should have mobile phones?
