Writing This is an example of a second paragraph.
In this paragraph I will write about one of the reasons pupils should be allowed to
have mobile phones in school. A reason why pupils should have mobiles in school is
that it can be really good to help with ICT. If pupils h ad mobile phones in school and
they needed to research information, then they would not need to wait to use the ICT
room/computers. They would be able to use their phones to help them find
information for topic areas or look for facts for an area that they are working on. They
would also be more confident in using their phones for the purpose of researching
information. If pupils had mobile phones in school, then they would be able to use
the internet more freely and not need to wait until there allocated ICT time slot.
