The Possibility of Using the Mobile Phone to Study English
Today more and more Chinese students use mobile phones to study English and there is a lot of debate about it. Some argue that the smart mobile phone cannot help students with studying, however, I benefit from having a phone.Firstly, I used to take a big book when I wanted to memorize words or read articles. It was very inconvenient, as there are often a lot of books in my bag. Now, all of them are loaded onto my smartphone. I feel it is easier than before.
Secondly, there are lots of different mobile phone applications that can help me. For example, there are applications for making a study plan and reminding me every day to execute the plan. Another app uses different ways to help me to memorize words.
Lastly, a mobile phone provides a social function. I can make many friends on the web who are studying English. We encourage each other. I get a lot of help from them.

Nicely laid out with an introduction, paragraphs an conclusion. Good arguments.
I like your use of the ¨In a word¨ phrase
Remember to use capitals for names English, and at the beginning of sentences. I have used commonly used phrasal verbs.. lots of.. a lot of .because native English speakers use a lot of phrasal verbs in everyday language. Instead of lots of you could say many.
Check your tenses. Did it happen in the past, is it still happening, etc.
We say either First, secondly, etc or firstly, secondly https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/explore/first-second-firstly-secondly
For the last in a list, we say lastly.
Rather than using the word for software on a smartphone we call them applications or apps. Oh and remember while all smartphones are mobile phones, not all mobile phones are smartphones. Remember to show that you understand the difference by using the term smartphone in the script as well:)
Starting a sentence with a Conjunction. While you are allowed to start a sentence with a conjunction I didn´t think ´and´was needed in this case.

While ¨there is¨ is perfectly correct remember you and also use the contraction ´ there´s ´ If you are doing the writing for an IELTS test or similar using the contraction shows a great understand of English and how we use it in everyday situations.
Please let me know if I can help you in any other way as you practice your English skills.
