Hey everyone, welcome back.

In today's lesson we're going to look at part three questions about mobile phones.

First you'll watch a mock interview with Finn and after that we'll break down the answers question by question.

Let's get started.

Why are mobile phones banned in certain places?

Mobile phones are banned in certain places mainly to prevent cheating,

protect privacy or stop confidential information from being leaked.

For example, during exams, students are not allowed to use phones because they could search for answers or communicate with others unfairly.

At my university, invigilators are extremely strict about this and will disqualify a student if a phone rings.

Another great example is at stand-up comedy shows.

Some comedians ask the audience to lock their phones away so

that people cannot record jokes and post them online before the official tour ends.

Phones are also prohibited in some government buildings and research centers where sensitive information must remain confidential.

Personally, I think these bans are reasonable because they protect fairness,

creativity, and privacy in different situations.

Do you think people rely too much on their phones nowadays?

Yes, definitely.

I think smartphones have become so integrated into daily life that many people struggle to function without them.

For instance, most university students use their phones for navigation,

online banking, communication, entertainment, and even studying.

Sometimes I catch myself checking my phone automatically,

even when there's no important notification.

It has almost become a habit rather than a necessity.

On the other hand, phones are incredibly useful tools.

So some level of dependence is understandable.

The real problem starts when people cannot focus on real life interactions or basic tasks without constantly looking at a screen.

Should students be allowed to use mobile phones at school?

I think mobile phones should be allowed in schools to some extent,

but only if there are clear rules.

On the positive side, phones can sometimes help students learn,

because they can quickly search for information or use educational apps.

They can also be useful in emergencies when students need to contact their parents.

However, phones can easily become a distraction if students start using social media,

playing games, or messaging friends during class.

I think this is a bigger problem among younger students because they usually have less self-control.

Some schools have even introduced phone bans to help students concentrate better in class.

Personally, I think allowing phones in a limited and controlled way is probably the best solution.

What are the disadvantages of using mobile phones too much?

Excessive phone use can negatively affect both physical and mental health.

For example, many students suffer from eye strain and poor sleep because they spend hours staring at screens late at night.

I've experienced that myself during exam periods when I spend too much time online after studying.

Another issue is reduced attention span.

People are becoming so used to short videos and instant entertainment that they struggle to concentrate for long periods.

Social relationships can also suffer because some people pay more attention to their phones than to the people sitting next to them.

In extreme cases, overusing smartphones can even lead to anxiety or addiction-like behavior.

In what situations should people turn off their phones?

I think people should turn off or silence their phones whenever they are in situations that require full attention or respect.

For example, during lectures, business meetings,

or job interviews, phone interruptions can leave a very negative impression.

Funerals and religious ceremonies are also situations where using a phone would be inappropriate.

Personally, I also believe people should avoid using phones while having serious face-to-face conversations because it can seem disrespectful.

Another important situation is while driving.

Even a few seconds of distraction can cause accidents.

In general, turning off a phone shows consideration for both safety and the people around us.

How have smartphones changed the way people communicate?

have completely transformed communication by making it instant and extremely convenient.

Nowadays people can contact friends or family members from anywhere in the world within seconds through messaging apps or video calls.

As an international student at university,

I really appreciate being able to stay connected with relatives without spending much money.

However, I think communication has also become less personal in some ways.

Many people prefer texting instead of having deeper face-to-face conversations.

Emojis and short messages sometimes replace genuine emotional expression.

Even so, I believe smartphones have generally improved communication

because they allow people to maintain relationships more easily despite busy schedules and long distances.

Do you think limiting phone use can improve concentration?

Yes, I strongly believe it can.

Whenever I put my phone away while studying,

I notice that I can focus much better and complete tasks more quickly.

Phones constantly interrupt people through notifications,

messages, and social media updates,

so it's difficult for the brain to stay focused.

I've even started using Do Not Disturb mode during exams because it reduces distractions significantly.

In my opinion, many students underestimate how much time they lose simply checking their phones repeatedly.

Of course, self-discipline is still important,

but reducing screen time definitely helps people concentrate more effectively.

Sometimes even taking short breaks from technology can improve productivity and mental clarity.

Would it be difficult for people to live without smartphones today?

Yes, I think it would be extremely difficult for most people.

Smartphones are no longer just communication devices.

They are also used for transportation,

banking, shopping, education, and entertainment.

At university, I rely on my phone every day to check schedules,

submit assignments, and contact classmates.

Without it, managing daily life would become much less convenient.

That being said, I think living without smartphones might also have some positive effects

because people could become more socially connected in real life.

They might spend more time interacting face-to-face instead of online.

Still, considering how dependent modern society has become on technology,

adapting to life without smartphones would be a major challenge for most people.

Alright, that's the end of the interview.

Now let's go through each answer and break down the main ideas and examples you can use in your own speaking test.

Another realistic example is stand-up comedy shows where comedians ban phones to stop people from recording jokes

and posting them online before the tour ends.

even when there are no notifications.

108

That makes the answer sound realistic and relatable.

109

You can also say that phones are useful tools so some dependence is understandable.

110

Then transition into the negative side by explaining

111

that people sometimes struggle to focus on conversations or daily tasks without looking at a screen.

112

Question three.

113

Should students be allowed to use mobile phones at school?

115

On the positive side, phones can support learning because students can quickly search for information or use educational apps during lessons.

116

They can also be useful in emergencies if students need to contact their parents.

117

However, phones can easily become a distraction when students start using social media,

118

playing games or messaging friends during class.

119

This is often a bigger issue among younger students because they usually have less self-control.

120

Some schools have even introduced phone bands to help students concentrate better.

121

You can finish by saying that allowing phones in a limited and controlled way is probably the best solution.

122

127

Another major issue is reduced attention span.

128

Many people become used to short videos and instant entertainment so they find it difficult to concentrate for long periods.

129

132

In what situations should people turn off their phones?

133

You can focus on situations where using a phone seems distracting, disrespectful or unsafe.

134

137

Constantly checking a phone can make the other person feel ignored.

150

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	are banned · being leaked · are not allowed
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	have become · have even introduced · I've experienced

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
