минусы
1)It could get stolen.
Although you would hope this wouldn't happen, it is possible that your child's mobile phone could be stolen while they are at school. This would be very costly to you and a huge disappointment to your child. Placing their phone in a school locker during lessons could reduce this possibility but many children like to carry their phone around just in case they need it.
2)It could distract them
Mobile phones have come a long way from the screenless bricks they were twenty years ago and the latest smartphones can almost double as a computer. While this is great for those techno geeks among us, it does mean they offer far more of a distraction to kids than they used to. Nowadays, children cannot only text and make calls with their mobiles, they can also play games, surf the internet and listen to music. All these features could interfere with your child’s concentration and ability to learn if they play with them in class.
плюсы
1)They can get in touch when necessary
The main benefit of having a phone is that your child can get in touch with you whenever they need to. This allows you to feel they are safe and gives them assurance knowing they can call home if they have a problem.
2)They can easily be discreet
Mobile phones can be very discreet if turned off or on to silent. As long as your child remembers to do this their phone won't cause a distraction in class, but they will stay have a way to contact you if they need to. Giving them a standard rather than a smartphone will also reduce the risk of distraction.
My spring break was really fantastic and unforgettable. On the 21st of March my Mom told me that we are going to visit our relatives in Almaty. It is the former capital of Kazakhstan.
What I was really delighted with was the nature of the region. Almaty has a lot of green parks by itself, but what really took mu breathe away was the neighborhood. My Mom and I visited many well-known places such as Tamgaly Tas, Issyk Kurgan, Medeo, Alatau mountains, Turgen waterfall and Charyn canyon. These places gave me so many impressions.
At first, we decided to go to Medeo and Alatau. Medeo is one of the biggest mountain-top skating rinks in the world. It is situated in the vicinity of Alatau mountains. We visited these places several times, and every time enjoyed the view of mountains covered with spruces and snow-white peaks.
Next destination was Issyk Kurgan. There are many sandy hills 7 hours east from Almaty. But only some of them sing! Yah, they really sing when someone walks on them or wind blows, and keep silence when there is no motion. It appears to happen because of special structure of sand that is still under study. The only thing I said was “Wow!”
And finally, we went to Tamgaly Tas. This place is a historic place of first people, ancestors of Kazakh nation. We heard many emotional stories about that place such as history of ancient Kazakhs, how they developed workmanship, art and so on. I was very surprised when I saw various pictures of people stamped out on rocks at bronze and iron periods. Pictures are so beautiful and unusual. They describe and depict men and animals.
I liked my spring break so much. Undoubtedly I will come again to Almaty this summer.
