    Mobile phones have become nearly ubiquitous, but their use in public spaces can be problematic due to issues of both manners and law. While talking or texting on a mobile phone is generally acceptable, some uses are considered rude or dangerous. For example, one should switch off their mobile phone in settings like classrooms [sentence 1] where it may disturb others. One must not use their phone on an airplane [sentence 2] as this is against the law for safety reasons. Talking loudly on a mobile phone in a public place like public transport should be avoided [sentence 3] as it can annoy other people and be considered poor manners.
