Computers, laptops, mobile phones, mp4 and other interesting things have become necessary parts of our life. Among all these things, I like mobile phones best.

　　The most important advantage of mobile phones is that they can help you communicate with your friends and family wherever you go. Because the mobile phone is small, you can easily take it with you. When you are travelling, you can take some pictures. When you are tired and want to relax yourself, you can enjoy music or play games. All these are not be a dream any more if you have a mobile phone.
