Dear Sunday Globe,

I’m writing to you about your article in last Sunday’s newspaper, Cell Phones Make Life Easier. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of cell phones. They’re 【1】and very helpful in business. On the other hand, you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. Thus, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on cell phone etiquette (礼仪).

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When talking face to face 【2】, you wouldn’t shout. In fact, the microphones in cell phones are so sensitive that you can be heard even if you speak【3】 .

Another point that needs to be made is to deal with personal space. I think it is very impolite to make calls in small spaces or【4】 rooms. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business.

Lastly, let me draw your readers’ attention to the dangers of doing two things at the same time. For example, cell phones and【5】are a bad combination(结合). Pay attention to the road!

Besides, cell phones can cause you to neglect good friends. Give friends who are with you your full attention. Turn off your cell phones and enjoy their company!  

Sincerely,

Amber Jala

22、   Many years ago, there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn.

When the sons came back, the old man asked them to say what they had seen.

The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves.

23、News of an air crash in the north of England has just been received.
