Third, there are shared bikes. You can find them on streets. Use a phone to unlock(解锁) one, ride it, and leave it anywhere after use. It’s good for short trips and it helps protect the environment.
The last one is online shopping. You can buy things using apps at home. Sellers send the goods to your door. It saves time and lets you choose from many products. These four inventions make life better.
The four innovative ways of life are most popular among young people, according to a survey by the Belt and Road Research Institute of Beijing Foreign Studies University. “They have improved the quality of people’s lives,” said Wu Hao, a professor from Beijing Foreign Studies University.
