Task1:
What kinds of effects would there be if mobile phones were forbidden in school?
I think there would be the following effects if mobile phones were forbidden; first, students study might be affected to some degree, coz they may lose a handy study tool, like when they come across a new terminology or English word, they wont be able to check them out as conveniently as before on their phones; also, if any emergency occurred, it might be difficult for students to get in touch with their families or friends for help, like when they got injured or lost in a new place. It could be dangeours.
Task2:
Agree or disagree: should parents use money as incentive for kids to behave well in school?
I don't agree with the statement. First, it is true that kids might be tempted to behave well in school for getting money to buy whatever they want, but this kind of mechanism simply leads to pure money worshipping; who pays the money for kids born into poor families? What if one day the incentive no longer exists any more? Second, I think there are other alternatives to achieve this goal, like kids could be rewarded with interesting books or given certain honors if they behave well. In certain cases, money might be a magical expedient, but it is crucial for kids to be instilled with correct values.
