Cellphones in Classroom

Debate "Students should be allowed to use cellphones in the classroom." Characters: - Ava (Pro): Believes students should be allowed to use cellphones in class. - Leo (Con): Believes students should not be allowed to use cellphones in class. Ava (Pro Position): Hi Leo! I think students should be allowed to use cellphones in the classroom. They can help us learn more. Leo (Con Position): Hi Ava! I disagree. I think cellphones can be very distracting in class. Students might use them to text or play games instead of paying attention. Ava : That’s true, but if we use them properly, cell phones can help us find information quickly. For example, if we need to look up a word or a fact, we can do it in seconds! Leo : Yes, but students might not use them for learning. They might be more interested in social media or videos instead. That can take away from our lessons. Ava : I understand that. But teachers can make rules about when and how we can use our phones. For example, we ca...

A Mother and Son Discussion

A Mother and Son Discussion   Mother : Jason, I can't even walk into your room without tripping over something. Why is it so messy all the time? Jason : It's not that bad, Mom. I know where everything is. Mother : It might seem that way to you, but being organized is important. It helps you focus and be more productive. How do you keep up with your schoolwork in this chaos? Jason : I manage. I get my homework done on time, mostly. Mother : Mostly isn't good enough, son. You should have a study plan. It will help you keep track of your assignments and make sure you're never rushing at the last minute.  Jason : I guess I could try something like that. It's just hard to stick with it. Mother : I understand it's an adjustment, but let's start small. We can create a simple schedule for your study time and maybe try keeping your room tidy each day. You'll see how much easier it is once everything has its place. Jason : Alright, I'll give it a shot. Can you...
