  1. In my opinion mobile phone most useful in daily life. This is because when we want known about vast information we only need to surf internet in mobile phone. Next, the size of mobile phone smaller than i-pad, laptop and GPS. The size of mobile phone can make your life easy such as in the train with crowded situation we just need to press the buttons in it or touch the screen and then we can receive what we need. Besides that, mobile phone also had variety useful like we can listen radio, setting time for azan that most useful for muslim people, can search maps during travel and others.

  6. Let me highlight the benefit using the mobile phone. Candidate A say that by using the laptop he also can preparing assignment similarly with using mobile phone we also can preparing assignment because mobile phone also have Microsoft office such as word, power point and excel. On the top, don't you think that mobile phone is easy to bring anywhere than laptop? For me I strongly support my opinion that is mobile phone is most useful than laptop.

  7. Sorry to interrup.I agree with candidate A.laptop is the most useful in our`s lifestyle because student like me have a assighment and RND project that need laptop to do a power point and paperwork.So,laptop more important than mobile phone.As we know,now mobile phone not important among us because only some mobile phone have Microsoft office such as word, power point and excel but another than that do have it and it more expensive than laptop.Now a days,laptop is easy to have and average people in world us laptop in their lifestyle.like,use to do work,chatting,email and comunication to other people.So,i think laptop is the most useful in today's lifestyle.
