The modern ways of life in China
Why do we love living in China? The state of modern China and its innovations are changing what people think about this oriental giant(东方巨人).
China has the fastest high-speed trains in the world. When you are planning to travel from Beijing to Shanghai, one of the bullet trains will help you finish your trip within around 5 hours. In China, the sharing economy is so popular that you can share almost anything, and the biggest boom in today’s market is the sharing transportation. With one step of scanning a QR code, you are off on a sharing bike to your destination. The QR codes are a way of life in China, from getting another person’s contact information or following a WeChat official account(公众号) you like, to ordering food or paying bills. Besides, AI and robots are playing a more and more important role in people’s life, from photo shooting to virtual learning. What’s more, quite a lot of other modern changes are on the way.

Hi Helen,
Sorry for being unable to write to you sooner. I have just settled down. I came to China two months ago. Now, I feel like I’m living a modern life here in China. It is quite different from the way we live our life in our hometown.
It’s not necessary to take the wallet when I go out as long as I take my smartphone. On the phone, I can order food from the menu, buy bus tickets and watch live concerts and online shows. In addition, various apps play an important role in my life. With the help of the e-map, I can find anywhere I want to go. I can communicate with others on WeChat.
I’m writing to tell you that I feel quite happy living in China. I hope that someday in the future you can come and visit me in China if possible. And I can be your guide around here.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours truly,
Mike

Love Living in China
Taking Action
Sharing your modern life on apps
Step 1
Interview your classmates and ask them what they usually use smartphones for in their life.
Do you buy train tickets with your phone?
What movies do you watch on web video apps?
Which camera app do you prefer to use to take selfies?
You play video games on your phone, don’t you?
…
You may ask
Our country is getting much richer and stronger. Our life is getting better and more modern. Let's share the modern life moments together.
Step 2
Share your opinions with classmates and make a report.
Example:
My classmate Nancy uses her mobile phone to order food. She likes taking pictures of herself and posting her selfies(自拍)on WeChat Moments(微信朋友圈). She thinks this kind of modern life is so cool.
…
Sharing your modern life on apps
Step 3
Create a short video about your modern life experiences in China.
Step 4
Share the video with your friends in the WeChat group of your class, and let’s see who has got more likes.
Sharing your modern life on apps
Understanding Culture
AI and our life
Artificial intelligence(AI)is changing and improving our life. Maybe one day we will live like those in science fictions.
The express robot will take your package to your door; the artificial intelligence teacher will correct your pronunciation and your homework; the intelligent transportation system will send various road information to the drivers to help them plan reasonable routes; the intelligent speaker will play music according to your instructions; the robot vacuum will clean the house when you are not at home...
Will technology erase our traditions? When we look at AI and other new techs, we need to assess them not just in technical term but also as a cultural category. AI is gradually becoming a part of our life and changing our lifestyles, but we will never give up our traditions and cultures, which make us human beings.
