One possible version
The majority of the students think that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone. And what’s more, it is a fashion.
However, most teachers think that middle. School students are not old enough to control themselves. It is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other. If necessary they can make phone calls by using public phones on the campus.
In my opinion, following the fashion is understandable. But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.
