and uses its webbed feet to swim. Its nose

Cell phones should not be used in
public places. They annoy people
who are close to the person using
the cell phone. Cell phones often
ring at inappropriate times. Often
the person on the phone speaks too
loudly. They can disrupt other people’s
conversations. If people need to make
phone calls in public, they should
excuse themselves and go outside.
