雅思口语资料:Describe an app in your computer or phone.(支付宝篇)

雅思口语考试时在描述App的时候,我们可以分两种思路:一种是写实派,完全遵照事实,从头到尾描述这款App的功能。还有一种,是幻想派,夸大事实,瞎编乱造,从App的名字到功能,全是编的!至于哪个好说一点儿,就看我们心情了。对于一个资深的phubber(低头族),如果你对一个App了如指掌(know this App like the back of your hand),那么可以走写实路线。如果你对所有的App都是只玩儿个皮毛,那么为了填满跟考官对视的两分钟,我们最好还是走幻想瞎编路线。

口语瞎编的功能可以天马行空,所以怎么说全看你的喜好。我们今天先来走个写实路线,看看一款手机必备App---支付宝!并且按照类似思路,看看这个科技还可以搞定哪些雅思话题。

I’d like to talk about Alipay, which is like an e-wallet for me, and in fact, it’s much more than a wallet. It has incredible features and functions than you can’t even imagine.

First of all, it’s like a savings account. Interest rate is much higher than that in a bank. So every month when I get the pocket money from my parents, I would put them all in this APP, which turns out to be a wise choice, ‘cause I already get more than 200 RMB of interest payment.

And also, it’s a quicker way to pay bills, like phone bill and gas bills. And now most shops and restaurants accept Alipay, so I don’t even have to carry cash around, all I need is my smart phone. I just need to scan the QR code and confirm the transaction.

Besides those amazing functions, I can also use it to buy movie tickets, lottery tickets, train and flight tickets. Oh! And book hotels. So you can see, it’s really a great helper in my daily life.

On top of that, it can also serve as a credit card, I mean, you can “borrow” the money from the APP, and pay back the next month, which is much more convenient than a credit card.

The best part is, it can help me keep track of where my money goes, so that I can have a better control of my money.

So, that’s what makes it a very useful App.

以上是对支付宝的客观描述,我们通过他的各种方便生活的功能,可以很自然的想到,支付宝貌似可以给我们省钱耶(当然每天网购的剁手党们请绕行)。由于每天可以看到账单,可以让我们时刻知道自己已经花了多少钱、都花在了哪,所以可以让这个“愧疚感”控制我们花钱。于是,一位特有才的孩子就想到了这完全可以作为“积极改变”的素材哇!从“大手大脚”变成“省吃俭用”,必然是积极改变呀!

The most positive change for me is that I started to keep track of where my money went so that I could have a better control of my money, and I could be thrifty. It all started when someone recommended an App for me, which is called Alipay. It’s more like an e-wallet that I could use to pay all kinds of bills, but the most amazing part is, it recorded all of my transactions. The first time I saw the details of my bills, I was shocked by the amount of money I spent on useless stuff. For example, I once paid XXX for a XX (败家的各位请自行填写), which was totally insane. So I realized, I needed to cut down on those meaningless cost, and that’s when the positive change started.

I used to be extravagant, and I had no idea where I spent my money, I mean, I didn’t even remember what I’d bought. But now, every time I have my eye on something, I would ask myself, “Is it worth the money?” or “Is it really necessary?”

So you see, now I’ve become frugal, and I come to realize that money doesn’t grow on trees. And I stopped spending money carelessly.

So it’s fair to say that’s the positive change for me.

还有的孩子顺势想到,支付宝和其他一些网上付款方式(像什么团购groupon啦啥的)可以打折哇!再加上上面的部分内容,就可以搞出一篇“省钱妙招”了!

The best way to save money for me is to pay bills online, ‘cause I could enjoy a discount no matter what I do. I don’t even have to take my wallet anymore. There are many Apps now that would regularly send users coupons. The competition between companies has brought lots of benefits to customers.

I remember once, I took a taxi without paying anything.

I’m a huge fan of travel. Before I used my smart phone, booking a flight ticket would cost me a lot, for example, a ticket from XXX to XXX cost about 2000 RMB, but ever since all those Apps were invented, I could save up to 500 RMB on the tickets per trip, which is a huge number to a student like me.

Paying food in a restaurant with Apps can also save me a great deal of money. Last time when I ate out with my girlfriend in a fancy restaurant, we only spent less than 300 RMB, ‘cause when I use Alipay in my phone, it automatically gave me a 20% discount.

Because of this new way of payment, I saved lots of money, so that I could do more things.

所以如果搞出一篇素材,可以顺便再翻翻雅思口语机经,看看有哪些可以贴上的话题,一并解决!
