Ejemplo resuelto
Sample essay (topic: "Should students use mobile phones at school?"):
"In my opinion, students should not use mobile phones during class time. There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, phones are a major distraction. If students have their phones on their desks, they will be tempted to check messages or social media instead of paying attention to the teacher.
Secondly, using phones can lead to cyberbullying. Some students may take photos or videos of their classmates without permission, which can cause serious problems.
However, I think phones can be useful for educational purposes, such as researching topics or using learning apps. Therefore, teachers should decide when phones can be used.
In conclusion, while phones have some benefits, I believe they should only be allowed at school when the teacher gives permission."
