题目解析 Describe a piece of technology (not computer-related) you like to use You should say: What the technology is How you learned about it How often you use it How you feel about it
相关英文表达: 科技造福人类,所以当谈到一个你喜欢用的科技时,你可能会说: It really makes my life easy! 它让我的生活变得轻松! I use this technology on a daily basis(每天). Once you try A, you’ll never go back to B. 一旦尝试了A,你就不会再用B了。
I guess for Chinese people, the most commonly-used(常用的) technology these days has to be QR code scanning(二维码扫描), which is widely applied in people’s work and daily activities. And, I am no exception(我也不例外), of course. The word QR is the abbreviation(缩写) of “quick response”, and QR code stands for a machine-readable image or label(标签) that contains information about the item to which it is attached. And owing to its fast readability, QR code is widely used for purchasing(购买) and package tracking.
Somehow this technology became popular first in China. When I finished my graduate studies and came back from the US, where people still use credit card and cash for purchasing even today, I was surprised by the way people paid for things. One day, I went shopping with my friend, and she literally made each purchase only with her phone. As long as you have either Alipay or Wechat Pay on your phone, you can also just finish your payment in two seconds.
Once you try QR code for payment, you’ll never go back to your credit card and cash. I use this technology almost every day, because I’m tired of carrying a large sum of cash. What else? People would argue that credit card is also convenient, but its convenience does not matter to me since my credit card was abused(滥用) for several times.
So in a word, I would say I’m a big fan of QR code. By scanning a tiny code, you could do whatever you want, like sending a friend request(好友请求) on social media. It saves time, and I have to say that this technology is creative, as it combines payment with cellphone, and that makes my life so much easier.
