When I was a kid, a phone made telephone calls. That's it. Nothing else. Nowadays, the last thing I do with my mobile phone is make phone calls to anyone.
I'm far too busy catching up with the latest news or checking the weather or playing a game.
Maybe you're doing dictation exercises with your mobile phone right now.
- a telephone with access to a cellular radio system so it can be used over a wide area, without a physical connection to a network.

My mobile phone is very important to me. I use my mobile phone for everything! I take photos with my phone, I watch videos with my phone and I even read books on my mobile phone. Oh, and sometimes I use it to make telephone calls!
Now listen to the slower version and type what you hear into the text box.
