The purpose of this research was to find out what students aged 14-18 use their mobile phones for. It also aimed to find out what kind of phones they use.

Have you got a mobile phone?
Before mobile phones were developed, you could only call someone with a phone which was connected to a phone line. That problem meant that it was often difficult to contact people, particularly if you were on a bus or in a car.
Before mobile phones, people didn’t send text messages to each other. Since they were introduced, text messages have changed the way we communicate. With text messages, you don’t need to actually call someone. You simply type a short message and send it, being careful, of course, to send it to another mobile and not to a home phone.
Mobile phones used to be big and heavy. Now, they’re small and light. The chances are that they will become even smaller and lighter in the future.

Oh, I love novels, especially if they have a good plot. I started reading them when I was 12. As it happened, reading so much at an early age had an effect on my studies: my compositions were very good! And I still read at least one novel a week. My own life isn’t terribly exciting. Apart from my work, which is very interesting, nothing special happens. In the novels I read there are always lots of thrilling events, and I can share in the joys and sorrows of the characters.

I think reading novels is helping me a great deal in my studies, and although I haven’t got much spare time, I always make a point of reading a couple of hours in the evening. I am in my last year at secondary school, and, frankly speaking, reading novels is an excellent way of learning how people live in other countries, how they communicate with each other, what problems they have. That’s why I prefer novels with characters who are true to life, not the ones who have impossible adventures.

What makes me really successful? It is the ability to plan my activities. I always plan everything in advance and try to stick to my schedule, though sometimes it’s rather difficult to do. That means I usually don’t waste time on thinking what to do. So I manage to do more than other students.
