1. What is the traditional perception(认知) of sharing
The traditional perception of sharing is that it is good to share, emphasized by parents and teachers from a young age.
2. How does modern society view sharing in terms of emotional bonding
Modern society views sharing as beneficial for establishing positive
emotional bonding.
Para. 1
1 We’ve been told since we were toddlers that “It’s good to share”. Parents and teachers keep reminding us to share toys, snacks, books, happy memories, and sometimes even sorrows with others. When we grow up, we share photos, life stories and opinions with people around us and with those we don’t know via social media. Taking it as an object of study, psychologists have published various papers starting that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to setting up positive emotional bonding.

For the main idea
1. How pervasive(无处不在的) is sharing in today's society
Sharing has expanded to almost every aspect of our lives.
2. What environmental benefits does sharing bring
Sharing contributes to reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the road, thereby benefiting the environment.
Para. 2
2 Today, the action of sharing takes on extra meaning. It’s not just about sharing sweets or frustration; it has expanded to almost every aspect of our lives --- the whole world seems to be into sharing. We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services, or to make money out of those that we don’t use ourselves all of the time. These vary from car shares to home shares, and even to pet shares. The sharing economy is taking off in all sorts of areas. It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people when and where they want them.
Fast reading
For the main idea
1. What is the response to the growing demand for quality goods and services
The response to the increasing demand is the emergence and growth of the sharing economy.
2. What concerns arise regarding personal data in the context of sharing
Sharing raises concerns about the collection of personal data, which includes sensitive information like names, locations, bank details, and preferences.
Para. 3
3 This wealth of ways of sharing is a response to our increasing demand for quality goods and services at competitive prices, all delivered at the click of a button. Whether it’s an online shop where we can hire designer clothes at rock-bottom prices, or a platform from which we can rent out our flats for a couple of days, it’s out there. Whether we’re a lender or a borrower, it’s a win-win situation; everyone makes or saves money. We also make connections and sometimes even make new friends. What’s more, sharing encourages us to reuse items. Thereby cutting down on waster. And set-ups such as bike and car sharing do a further favour for the environment by reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the road.

1. What challenges does the sharing economy face
The sharing economy faces challenges such as issues related to economic activity worldwide.
Para. 4
4 But the sharing economy is not without its problems. As is often the case all over the world with new areas of economic activity, the sharing economy is developing faster than existing regulations or ongoing supervision. Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to expand their share of the market, often at the expense of more traditional and established companies. In addition, the sharing economy is subject to abuse of trust. Some people have experienced damage to their properties whilst renting out their homes, and others have found themselves victims of theft or attack while sharing rides. Finally, personal data, the heart of the sharing economy, is not yet secure. Sharing platforms collect personal information about almost every part of our lives, including our names, locations, bank information, and individual preferences for goods and services. Yet, the technology to prevent such information from leaking or being stolen still needs improvement, and the awareness of potential risks is low among both service providers and users.

2. What problems will arise when the sharing economy develops too quickly
The rapid development of the sharing economy will result in the following three problems: ①Existing regulations and ongoing oversight are not keeping pace. ②It can be affected by abuse of trust. ③Personal data, the heart of the sharing economy, is not secure.

Sharing is transforming society by creating new ways of thinking and providing services tailored to people's needs and preferences, available when and where they want them.

Deep thinking
In the next 20 years, as the global economy becomes more digital, the sharing economy will thrive.
People will share a wide range of items, from goods and services to experiences. Advanced technology will facilitate this sharing, making it easier to connect and exchange resources. Cost savings and access to a diverse array of products will be significant benefits. Moreover, sharing will contribute to a more sustainable environment.
Beyond material gains, sharing fosters a sense of community and collaboration. It encourages trust and mutual support among individuals.
However, challenges remain. Issues of trust, privacy, and equitable resource distribution must be addressed. Ensuring that the benefits of sharing are enjoyed by all is crucial.
In conclusion, the sharing economy holds great promise for the future. It has the potential to transform how we interact and utilize resources. With careful management of the challenges it faces, the sharing economy can indeed benefit everyone.
Sample
The Future of Sharing Economy in the Next 20 Years
In the next 20 years, the sharing economy will expand significantly as the world becomes more interconnected and digital. People will share a variety of things, from physical items like vehicles and tools to intangible assets (无形资产) such as knowledge, digital content, and even personal experiences. Advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain(区块链) will make sharing more efficient and secure. Platforms will allow users to share resources instantly, reducing waste and promoting sustainability (持续性). The benefits will include lower costs, increased access to resources, and stronger community bonds. However, challenges such as data privacy, cybersecurity(网络安全), and ensuring fair access for all will need to be addressed.

The Sharing Economy: A Peek into Tomorrow
The sharing economy, boosted by new ideas and teamwork, is ready to change how we live and work. This way of doing business helps use resources better by sharing goods and services. Uber, Airbnb, and Zipcar are examples of how it works, making things easier to get and building a sense of community.
One great thing about the sharing economy is that it cuts down on waste. Sharing means we make and throw away less stuff, which is good for the planet. It also gives people new chances to start businesses and make money from things they don't use much.
But there are problems to solve. We need to make sure platforms are trustworthy, safe, and follow the rules. Fast growth also worries some people because it might hurt old businesses and take jobs away.
In the future, the sharing economy will keep growing and changing. New technology and what people want will push it forward. It's important to find a way to let new ideas happen while still having rules. By using this model, we can have a more connected, green, and successful society.
In short, the sharing economy looks like it will bring a better future. It can help reduce waste, create chances, and make communities stronger. But we need rules and teamwork to make sure it keeps working well over time.
共享经济：展望未来
在新理念和团队合作的推动下，共享经济即将改变我们的生活和工作方式。 这种经营方式通过共享商品和服务帮助更好地利用资源。 优步、爱彼迎和Zipcar就是它如何运作的例子，让人们更容易获得东西，并建立一种社区意识。
共享经济的一大优点是它减少了浪费。 分享意味着我们制造和扔掉的东西更少，这对地球有好处。 它还为人们提供了创业的新机会，并从他们不经常使用的东西中赚钱。
但也有一些问题需要解决。 我们需要确保平台是值得信赖的，安全的，并遵守规则。 快速增长也让一些人担心，因为它可能会伤害老企业，抢走工作岗位。
Another Sample
The Future of the Sharing Economy
The sharing economy is rapidly transforming how we live and interact. From car shares to home shares, it offers numerous benefits, such as cost savings, reduced waste, and stronger community connections. However, challenges like data privacy and regulatory gaps must be addressed. As technology advances, I believe the sharing economy will expand further, integrating more aspects of our lives. We might share advanced resources like AI tools or even personal skills globally. This growth will require better regulations and security measures to protect users. Overall, the sharing economy has the potential to create a more sustainable and connected world, but it must evolve responsibly to overcome its current limitations.
共享经济的未来
共享经济正在迅速改变我们的生活和互动方式。 从汽车共享到房屋共享，它提供了许多好处，例如节省成本，减少浪费和加强社区联系。 然而，数据隐私和监管漏洞等挑战必须得到解决。 随着技术的进步，我相信共享经济将进一步扩大，融入我们生活的更多方面。 我们可能会在全球范围内共享先进的资源，比如人工智能工具，甚至个人技能。 这种增长将需要更好的法规和安全措施来保护用户。 总的来说，共享经济有潜力创造一个更加可持续和互联的世界，但它必须以负责任的方式发展，以克服目前的局
