What problems did the writer come across?Suggested answer：The writer faced problems with shared bikes, digital payments, and food delivery, making life in the UK less convenient compared to China.What‘s your answer?1 I’ve studied in China for a year and now it’s the Christmas holiday. I’ve been back in the UK for three days, but it feels like a century!It’s amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I’ve had some digital problems here.2 Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 15-minute ride cost me an arm and a leg- 4.8 pounds!3.In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn’t understand! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop’s payment system didn’t work. The shopkeeper told me to use cash. As I always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some cash.4.When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes through an app instead,but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later,they were stone- cold! I had to heat them one by one in the oven. I felt tired and hungry.5 Except for today, I’ve had a great holiday.However, I’m looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more convenient life!3.Choose another suitable title of the passage.a Shared bikes for you and meb Shopping online in the UKc A day of digital problemsd Problems with food delivery apps4.Complete the diagram with the words and expressions from the passage.Shared bikestook foreveran arm and a legDigital paymentspayment systemcashappslowThink and share1 Why does the writer say that technology makes life more convenient in China?Suggested answer：The writer finds life in China more convenient because digital technology is widely used for everyday tasks. In the passage, the writer mentions that in China, they always use digital payments (like QR codes or digital wallets) and never need cash. However, in the UK, they faced problems like no QR code payments, a broken payment system, and having to use cash, which was inconvenient. Additionally, food delivery in China is likely faster and more efficient compared to the UK, where the writer had to wait 90 minutes for cold food. 2 Why do you think digital technology is so popular in China?Think and shareSuggested answer：Convenience—Mobile payments (like Alipay/WeChat Pay) and QR codes are fast, eliminating the need for cash.Efficiency—Services like food delivery and shared bikes are well-developed, saving time.Widespread Adoption广泛采用—Most businesses and people use digital tools, making them a standard part of life.Think and shareLearning to think for question 2There are a lot of reasons behind the wide use of digital technology.
