Well, I agree that children should not be allowed to use cell phones at school for the following reasons.

First of all, it can be a major distraction in school.

105
the sounds of phones beeping or vibrating make it difficult for students and teachers to concentrate.
106
Another reason is that cell phones discourage children from being social.
107
For instance, with the advent of the smartphones, many children spend more time playing with their phones than spending time with friends.
108
For this reason, I believe children should not be allowed to use cell phone at school.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
