Everywhere you go nowadays, you see people using mobile phones. From school children to the people, you see them talking in the supermarket, on trains, in the street, everywhere!

So what are the advantages of mobile phones?

First of all, they are very convenient because you can phone from nearly everywhere. Another advantage is that they are really useful in emergency situations.

For example, if you are alone in your car and it breaks down, you can get help quickly. In addition, you can also use mobile to text your friends or connect to the net.

However, there are disadvantages such as the cost. Mobile phone calls cost more than normal calls. Furthermore, it can be annoying if you are on the train or a bus, and you have to listen to someone else’s boring conversation. It happens because people can contact you anywhere, at anytime, unless you switch your phone off!

In conclusion, there are both advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I feel mobile phones are a good thing because they give us more freedom and make communication easier.

Many people do not agree with such conditions. They said that besides it is improper for the students to have a driving license; those students at their age have not been able to control their emotion. They might easily get angry when other road users do something. For example, those kids stop at the wrong place and other road users turn on their horns. Those kids will surely get mad or even say soothing rude.

In addition, their reflexes are not yet well developed. As a result, they are difficult to avoid dangerous things which may cause accidents. Another thing, they do not understand the meaning of traffic signs. This is proved that a lot of motor bikers at their age go speeding violate traffic lights, and so on. This surely harms themselves and other people.

On the other hand, there are some arguments which agree with the students riding motorcycle to schools. They claim that the students will not be tired compared to those who ride bicycles. They also can immediately take curses after school. This certainly cannot be done if the students have to go by bikes or public transports. As conclusion, they say, riding vehicles will make the students more mobile.

In my opinion, it is not worthy enough for junior high school students riding motorcycle. They obviously will endanger themselves and others. Regulation prohibits junior high school students riding motorcycle. They are made for all people. Therefore, the rules must be obeyed by  all people.
