Medium Version

Tuhin: Hello, Sima. How are you?

Sima: I am fine. What about you?

Tuhin: I am fine too. But you look tired today. What happened?

Sima: I slept late last night because I used my mobile phone for a long time.

Tuhin: That is not good. Too much mobile phone use is harmful, especially for teenagers.

Sima: How can it harm us?

Tuhin: It can harm our health. It may damage our eyes, disturb our sleep, and cause headache.

Sima: I really feel sleepy in class these days.

Tuhin: That is a bad effect. It can also affect your education.

Sima: How does it affect education?

Tuhin: It wastes valuable time and reduces attention. Many students spend time on games, videos, and social media instead of study.

Sima: That is true. Sometimes I cannot focus on my lessons.

Tuhin: It can also affect behaviour. Too much mobile use may make teenagers angry, lazy, impatient, and careless.

Sima: But mobile phone is useful too, isn’t it?

Tuhin: Of course. We can use it for online classes, dictionaries, educational videos, communication, and emergency help.

Sima: Then what should we do?

Tuhin: We should use mobile phones wisely. We should fix a time limit and avoid unnecessary apps.

Sima: I understand. I will reduce my mobile use from today.

Tuhin: That is a wise decision.

High-Scoring Version

Tuhin: Hello, Sima. How are you?

Sima: I am fine, thank you. What about you?

Tuhin: I am fine too. But you look tired and sleepy today. Is anything wrong?

Sima: I slept late last night. I was using my mobile phone for a long time.

Tuhin: That is a serious matter. Too much mobile phone use is very harmful for teenagers.

Sima: I know it may waste time, but does it really harm health?

Tuhin: Yes, it does. Long screen time can harm our eyes, disturb sleep, cause headache, and make the body weak and tired.

Sima: That may be why I cannot stay fresh in class.

Tuhin: Exactly. It also affects education badly. Students lose attention, forget lessons, and spend less time on reading and writing.

Sima: I often waste time on videos and social media.

Tuhin: That is a common problem. Many teenagers become addicted to games, short videos, and social media. Then they cannot manage their study time properly.

Sima: Does it affect behaviour too?

Tuhin: Yes. Too much mobile use may make teenagers impatient, angry, lonely, careless, and less respectful to parents and teachers.

Sima: That sounds dangerous.

Tuhin: It is. But we should remember that mobile phone itself is not bad. Its use depends on us.

Sima: What are the good sides?

Tuhin: We can use mobile phones for online classes, educational videos, dictionaries, e-books, communication, emergency calls, and learning new skills.

Sima: So, the main problem is misuse.

Tuhin: You are right. We should use mobile phones for learning and necessary work, not for wasting time.

Sima: How can I control my mobile use?

Tuhin: Fix a daily time limit, avoid using mobile before sleep, keep it away while studying, and use only useful apps.

Sima: I will follow your advice from today.

Tuhin: Very good. A mobile phone should be our helper, not our master.

Sima: Thank you for explaining it so clearly.

Tuhin: You are welcome. Stay careful and use technology wisely.
