Lingling: I especially like the fact that I have easy access (进入) to the Internet. And it’s great that I have Google Maps on my phone, so that when I get lost I can just look up where I am and find my way back. But I don't really want to say ...I depend too much on the phone. That’s the worst part.
Daming: I love the fact that my mobile phone has the Internet. That’s the best thing about having the Internet everywhere. The worst thing is that people can reach you, especially by calling you. Just send me an email. That would be great .
Betty: I have a very old phone, so I can’t really do much with it. However, it's also kind of nice because it makes me be more of a face to face person, instead of always being on my phone. So that's good.
Ms Li: I have one of the simplest mobile phones, which I actually really like because I’m not really tempted(受引诱的) to be on it all the time. So compared with texting people, talking with people around gives me more pleasure.
