I can’t stand cell phones
Woman: (talking loudly on cell phone) No! No, no, no... Go... the taxi line . . . find the taxi line... there’s one just outside. It's right outside. No... it’s right outside of the airport. Go inside and ask someone, OK? All right. We’ll see you soon . . . twenty minutes or so... OK, Bye!

Roberto: I can’t stand cell phones. Why do people use them so often — especially in public places?

Mike: I know. I only use my cell phone when I need it. I find it to be a form of noise pollution. (Mike’s phone rings)

Roberto: See what I mean?

Mike: (into phone) Hello?

Mr. Johnson: Hi, Mike!

Mike: Hi, Dad! How’s it going?

Mr. Johnson: Oh, great. Listen son, I just got a new cell phone and I called to give you the number.

Mike: Oh, you just need to give me your new number...

Mr. Johnson: Yeah. You know. I really love these cell phones. They’re so convenient! Your mother’s addicted to hers. She’s on it all the time...

Mike: Uh... Dad? The number?

Mr. Johnson: Oh, I’m sorry, I almost forgot. Here it is. The new area code is six five one...

Mike: Did you say six nine one?

Mr. Johnson: No... no... six five one. .five. "F"... like in "Frank”...

Mike: Got it.

Mr. Johnson: And the telephone number is 555-2324.

Mike: (phone beeps) Dad? Can you hold on a minute? Mom’s calling on the other line. (into phone to mom) Hello?

Mrs. Johnson: Hi sweetheart, it’s your mom!

Mike: Hi, Mom! I’m on the other line with Dad.

Mrs. Johnson: Oh that’s nice, dear. I need to talk to him too. I’m planning our trip to New York. I’d prefer to come in September, but your father wants to come during the holidays. Now you tell him

Mike: Wait a minute, I can't stand sending messages. Can you hold on a second? I'm going to try to connect you two... (into phone to both mom and dad) Hello? Is everybody here?

Mr. Johnson: Yeah, I’m here... (mom laughs) Oh... this is what I call a family reunion!

Mike: (all laugh) Yeah!

Woman: (to Mike) Shh! Do you mind? (to her friend)l can’t stand cell phones — especially in public places!

Cell Phones
Catherine: I think these days you can’t live without a cell phone.

Brad: I always have my cell phone with me so I can call my friends. I also can browse the Internet and download music.

Jackie: My cell phone has a camera on it. It’s very useful when I don’t have a camera with me and if there’s something funny happening, then I can take a picture.

Dayanne: I think that sometimes cell phones are unnecessary, however, they’re very good for business.

Alex: What I like about cell phones is you can contact anybody you want any time you want.

Calvin: I feel like I lost some privacy because of cell phones.

Lourdes: I don’t like cell phones that much. They’re necessary... and they’re very useful in emergencies... but in general, I think that they’re not a good thing.

Dennis: I like cell phones because they connect you with people. Wherever you are, people can reach you. What I don’t like about cell phones is when they ring at the most unexpected times.



Alejandra: I like cell phones because they allow me to call people when I’m running late and let them know that I’m running late. I don’t like when cell phones ring in theaters, or movie theaters, or important talks, or even in the classroom. That’s... I think... a lack of respect, so that’s when I hate cell phones.
