A 篇(教材改编:数字生活的挑战)
I’ve been in the UK for three days and faced many digital problems. First, I tried to ride a shared bike, but it took forever to find one. The old bike was rusty and unstable, and the app kept crashing. To my shock, the 15-minute ride cost me over five pounds—triple the price in China! Then, in a local grocery store, I tried to pay with my smartphone. The shopkeeper stared at me blankly when I asked for a QR code, explaining they only accepted cash. As I always rely on digital payments in China, I had to walk 20 minutes back home to fetch cash, wasting half my morning.
Later, exhausted, I decided to order takeout via a popular UK app. The estimated delivery time was 45 minutes, but the food arrived a full 90 minutes later, cold and unappetizing. The experience made me realize how spoiled I am by China’s efficient digital ecosystem. From seamless payments to reliable deliveries, China’s technology truly simplifies daily life.
