Mobile phones are great, but there are some things about them that I don't like.0:21

Also, I don't like it when I panic if my phone isn't near me.0:31
What I'm saying is I don't think it's good that I rely so much on a gadget.0:35
I love my mobile phone.0:41

It's expensive to send so many texts though.0:52
I have a big phone bill every month.0:55

Some people say that mobile phones can cause illnesses.1:03
They say they are dangerous because of the radiation.1:07
I don't know if this is true, but just to be on the safe side, I only use my mobile for quick conversations.1:10

No matter where I am, I can always contact my parents if I need help.1:24
