Is it okay to use your phone while eating out with friends? Why or why not?

Hi Mary! That was a very considerate and well-organized answer. You expressed your thoughts clearly about phone etiquette, and I like how you showed respect for your friends by emphasizing full attention during conversations. That shows great social awareness and empathy! Your examples made your point convincing and realistic, I can tell you value good communication and manners. Keep up the great work, and continue expressing your opinions with this level of thoughtfulness!
