The second picture shows a person using digital payment. Digital payment is a very common scene nowadays. Via apps on the smartphone, it makes transactions (交易) fast and convenient. We can use it to pay for goods and services almost anywhere, instead of carrying cash or a wallet.

Digital shock
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 20 - minute ride cost me
an arm and a leg – 4.8 pounds!

我非常疲倦，因此放弃了做饭的想法
通过一个应用程序
我点的食物终于在90分钟后送达，那时它们已经凉透了！
除了今天
那里的技术让我的生活更加便捷！
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!
