Answer 1

Is SMS a Blessing?
With the development of mobile phones, the short message service is becoming more and more popular with us.
On one hand, SMS is advantageous to people. First, you will find it easy to connect with the far—away friends or relatives; it is much cheaper as a result of it. Besides, it is much cheaper than to make a phone call. Sometimes your friends still can receive your short messages even if they don’t turn on their cell phones at the very moment. Third, the SMS will not disturb others while it will if you call others in public. More importantly, you can have a great deal of information, such as about weather and traveling.
On the other hand, the SMS brings us some inconvenience. We don’t know when it will come, so it distracts our attention when we are studying or working. What’s worse, it is annoying to receive too many advertisements, sometimes even some pornographic stories.

認真審題，按照要點談出短信服務的好處和壞處，可以組合和調整給出的要點。但不要諸句翻譯，要注意過渡和分段。
