  1. I think it is not polite to check your phone while you are talking with others. It is common to see people staring at their phones. And I have tried to make them put their phones down because of respect. I often tell them if they can put their phones down directly in a funny way, therefore, it can be easily received by others.

  2. In my opinion, it is not polite to check the phone while we are talking with others. Putting the phone and listening to others carefully is the basic courtesy to others.To be honest, what I care about most is wether others value me or not. I am always angry with my friends, because they do not listen to me. I have tried many times to get them put down the phone, they did as I told them, but they would do it again next time.I think this is a subconscious mistake, people will inadvertently look at their cell phone. And this matter should be educated from a young age.

    1. Hi Wei, I totally agree with you. I sometimes feel angry for people who always use their phones. They are not polite to others; however, I also understand their feeling because I was addicted to sounds before. I always wear earphones if possible even though I spend the time with others. They are addicted to their phone, so it is difficult to put away even if they think it is not polite for others.

    2. Hello, my sweet. I agree with you and it is a basic principle to respect others, I mean to listen to a person who is speaking to you. But with the phones are used times and times, people have gotten used to it. Like what you have said, subconscious. Therefore, it is difficult to make people don't look at their phones, but we can try many interesting ways to avoid those awkward occasions.

  3. I think it is not polite to check my phone while you stay with others; in particular, we take face-to face communication. If someone talks to me, I try to put away my phone. When I want to show my picture or video and share information, I use it; however, I do not use it for the personal business. I usually check my phone when others check it or go other place to get more foods or go the restroom.

  4. In my opinion, I think this is not polite to check the phone while we are talking with other people. Because when other people talk to you and you just check your phone that is very rude. People will think you are not listen to them, and you are not respect for other people. You will pay attention for your phone, not for what other people talk about. So when I talk to someone, I might will let other people put away their phone. Because I want them to respect for me and they can pay attention what I talk about, also they can understand the information which I talk.

    1. Hi, Patrick. I agree with you, people cannot pay attention to others when they check their phone. They do not try to communicate and understand with others. Maybe, people increase their loneliness because of this behavior. Nowadays people do not feel truly together even though they spend the time with others.

    2. Hi, Patrick. I agree with you. Checking the phone when others are speaking is not only rude,
      but also maybe miss some very important information. So because of these reasons, we should not check the phone when we are taking with others.

  5. To my mind, it is not polite to check your phone while you are talking with other people. when you check your phone, it means that you do not want to listen or the people talking with you are not important, which will lead to people think that you do not respect to them and ignore them. Thus, I think that is impolite behavior in our life. Actually, I did not ask somebody to put the phone away because I did not know what they were doing on the phone. I do not want to disturb them, or they are dealing with emergency business.

    1. Hi Min, In fact, I have the same situation which you have. It is a tough work to ask others to put away their phones. I think that we can't continue talking when we are having a party because there aren't that many topics to go on. And what we can do is to checking what is going on all over the world. So, we have to adapt to this.

  6. In my opinion, it is not polite to check our phone while we are talking with another people because we are sharing our things with our friends, and the want to hear us and not see the phone. When your check the phone during a conversation it means that you don;t care your friend or the topic of your friend is so boring. For, the second question to get anyone to put their phone down while they are talking to you because they will be anoying with me. I just wait until they finish to talk and then I said to them that is unpolite to uses phone while your are talking with someone. IF I receive an emergecy call from someone I will answer that but if is not importan I skip he call and wait until finish my conversation with my friends.

    1. In the modern society, the phenomenon that people check their phones when they are talking with others is very common. I am not a person who like being angry with others. But the easiest thing that I could be angry is that I think people don't care me. For example, If I call a waiter for three times in the restaurant, he heard , but didn't answer me, I will be very angry. So I think people should put mutual respect first.
