　　Mobile phones, nowadays, are gaining unimaginable popularity in students’ life. Some have argued that playing mobile phones allow students to relax and have a better motion in their study. Others, however, oppose to this idea based on the statement that they indeed distract students' attention and will lower the academic performance. Although the former viewpoint may be reasonable, I assume that it is definitely harmful to students' studies.

　　Admittedly, mobile phones do enable students to improve their studies in varying aspects. The most obvious function of a mobile phone is to provide plenty and useful information for students to absorb. For example, those students who face difficulties but fail to find a teacher could surf on the Internet easier by cell phones. What they need to do is only to press the button and Google the related key words and get the answers whenever and wherever. Moreover, listening music via mobile phones is an efficient way to release stress for students because they have been studying all day long, and thus have no spare time to relax themselves despite listening to music. At the same time, assignments have increasingly burdened on their shoulders. Music, in this sense, can entertain themselves as to refresh their mind. As a result, in the process of learning with mobile phones can benefit students for such practical advantages.

　　However, few students can handle a successful academic study accompanied by cell phones. The most apparent and key point is that mobile phones always extract them from studies. As most young people are less likely to manage their life disciplined for lack of self control, some of them spend most of the time chatting on the Internet, playing games, reading pulp fictions and so on. So precious are the time and energy that they have wasted. Additionally, other students may fail to keep on their studies in such an environment where their classmates are listening music via mobile phones. This certainly would hinder the studying progress of students, especially for those who desire peaceful environment. Furthermore, teachers will be interrupted by the noise form mobile phones. A wealth of cases has been shown in the campus. It is rare to see students do not play mobile phone while the professor in front is trying to explain a theory carefully. All the hard working from the professors have been wasted. Consequently, all of these disadvantages are definitely negative ways of learning.

　　To sum up, despite the benefits brought out by cell phones, they do more harms than goods. There is no doubt that students are distracted from mobile phones, since they do not own the ability of self-control, and their behavior also draw classmates attention and the teacher will be affected in an negative way.

　　Recent decades have witnessed a surging progression of living standard based on efficient public transportation, high-tech internet, and especially the advanced integrated shopping centers and so forth. Those who are in favor of shopping may advocate that these large shops bring great benefits to the public due to the convenience while those who are opposed to it claim that the small stores which specialized in certain products are better. Personally speaking, I stand by the former statement.

　　First of all, it is more convenient and efficient doing shopping in shopping malls. Consumers can buy everything they want in a shopping mall. This means that they only need to have one driving or taking one bus to the destination and buy the living necessities, including food, clothes, shoes and even cosmetics, which are enough for one week or even longer. They do not do many shopping and this actually saves time. On the other hand, shopping in small shops takes tremendous amount of time since the shoppers need to drive to divergent places to buy different items.

　　Moreover, a big shop enables people to live colorful. Most large stores provide food court or showing zone for their customers. So when the customers get tired of shopping, they can easily buy food or snacks for refreshment. For example, when I feel very tired, I can buy a cup of coffee, enjoying music in a coffee house. In addition, the display zone entertains the customers via dress shows. My personal experience proves that. On weekend, I can stroll in the shopping mall with some friends, observing some popular styles of clothes and shoes, and try some clothes to see whether they really match me. This also allows me to keep in fashion. Of course, this cannot be achieved by small stores.

　　Admittedly, small stores with special items mean that unique products can be purchased through the store. This provides a sense of enjoyment for the shoppers due to the feeling of specialty. Moreover, those gifted craftsmen could make money and even get fame from such stores. However, the products in the stores are normally high-priced and not suiting the public.

　　In conclusion, considering the types, time and entertainment of shopping, a large store with multiple products is more favorable.
