Fortunately! Because I need to learning english more fast
Of course because Phone make me can't concentrate with anything
I always swithc off my mobile to be more attentive to my work avoiding distractions
it's funny I'm 19 years old and I still don't have a phone I only have a PC
Are you serious? hahaha it's really funny
Yes because it minimize distruction from recieving notifications and help me focus in my studies.
I would like everyone to switch off mobil phone at meeting. It’s good attitude and having higher concentration to the speaker.
yeah that's a good idea but i have never done that
I usually leave my phone in vibration mode during my meetings in case someting urgent happens in my external life.
Yes sure. It is very important for everyone to switch off their phones in meeting or in ceremony. Ringing makes others annoying and disturbs the speaker to be continued.
