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 15-minute ride cost me an arm and a leg - more than five pounds! 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! By then, 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! 数字冲击 1我在中国学习了一年，现在是圣诞节。我回到英国已经三天了，但感觉就像一个世纪！见到我的家人真是太棒了。此外，我真的很喜欢圣诞节和美味的食物。然而，我在这里遇到了一些数字问题。 2今天，我想从商店买些蔬菜和肉。我决定骑自行车去那里。但找到一辆自行车花了很长时间！我终于找到了一个旧的。但那15分钟的车程花了我一只胳膊和一条腿——超过5磅！ 3在商店里，我很快得到了我需要的一切。我想用智能手机付款。我让店主出示二维码，但她不明白！接下来，我尝试使用我的数字钱包，但商店的支付系统不起作用。店主让我用现金。由于我总是在中国进行数字支付，我从不带钱包。我不得不回家拿些现金。 当我回到家时，我累得放弃了做饭。我改为通过应用程序订购了我最喜欢的菜肴，但送货速度真的很慢。90分钟后，我的菜终于端上来了，它们冷得要命！那时，我感到又累又饿。 除了今天，我度过了一个愉快的假期。然而，我期待着回到中国。那里的技术让我过上了更方便的生活！ ( 知识解析1 ) 1.
