2. an outline or speaking notes
Specific purpose
The specific purpose of choosing this topic is to ensure that children and parents can know about
the impacts that a cell phone might have over them. Choosing to leave 10 or less than 10 year old

of the fact that this will naturally make their child smart as they will learn to use the search

family members must also see the negative impacts like that of addiction. This will make the
children suffer from addictions like too much time on online games.

they will not be willing to invest any time over their studies
 This can also hamper the physical functions of the children as they will be sitting in the
same posture for a long time rather than going out for any activities. This is because they
will get more interest in playing games or in seeing some movies or videos online.
