Think and share
1. Why does the writer say that technology makes life more convenient in China
The writer implies that technology makes life more convenient in China through contrasts(对比) with her experiences in the UK.
For example:
In China, shared bikes are easy to find and use; while in the UK, she struggled to find one and it was expensive.
Digital payments (via QR codes and digital wallets) are widely accepted in China, making shopping smooth; whereas in the UK, the shopkeeper didn’t understand QR codes and her digital wallet failed, forcing her to go home for cash.
Food delivery in China is efficient, but in the UK, the delivery was slow and the food arrived cold.
2. Why do you think digital technology is so popular in China
First, China has made remarkable progress in technology development. For example, 5G technology enables faster data transfer (转移), which is crucial for various digital services.
Second, the government has made many plans to promote digital development and innovation.
Also, Chinese people are open to new things. They are willing to try and use new digital products and services.
Think and share
Learning to think for question 2
