如今，越来越多的中学生拥有并在使用手机 (mobile phone)。针对这个问题，不同的人有不同的观点。许多学生认为手机方便了自己与家长和同学的联系，发短信、打电话已成为中学生日常生活的重要组成部分。然而大多数老师和家长认为中学生上课时会用手机听音乐、玩游戏或与朋友发短信，将会严重影响学习，他们呼吁学校禁止学生携带手机来校。针对这一现象，写一篇100词左右的短文，介绍上述两种观点并谈谈你的看法。

Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure (奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a four?hour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.

Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation— in another language.It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying.

Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two?day trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home，although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.

She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time.

There are always many people on the train from all walks of life，different countries，and many languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures.If you get hungry，you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.

It sure beats driving the car，which has to stop for food and restrooms.And it is better than taking the bus.
