Section Ⅳ　Writing an essay about non-cash payments Step 1｜品教材范文 　　Nowadays， non-cash payments are becoming more and more popular across the world， especially in China.It refers to the method of making payments with cards， mobile phones and other electronic devices.New ways of supporting non-cash payments are quickly turning up one after another. Obviously， there are many benefits of non-cash payments.First， they are so convenient and fast that people could make almost all the payments with a single click on their smartphones.In some shopping centres， they can pay by simply standing in front of a camera and let it recognise their face.Second， non-cash payments are safe and hygienic.They free people from carrying heavy coins and dirty notes， or even a wallet.Therefore， the risk of losing money or the wallet is not a threat any more.What is more， non-cash payments eliminate the risk of counterfeit money. 　　However， as the old saying goes， every coin has two sides， and so does the non-cash payments， even though they don’t require a coin.The problems that accompany non-cash payments should not be ignored.When thinking it further， non-cash payments might not be quite safe as people have assumed， as it is not that hard for hackers to access people’s bank account and steal the money.It is also easier for your personal information to be stolen， which may bring great trouble.Meanwhile， to some degree， non-cash payments encourage over-consumption.They also depend too much on the Internet access or battery capacity — just imagine being at a place with no wi-fi and a flat battery， how can people make payments via their computers or smartphones then？Last but not least， non-cash payments aren’t quite friendly with people not knowing how， especially the elderly.It is such a pity to make them feel excluded and left out. 　　Nonetheless， non-cash payments are increasingly part of our fast-growing modern society.The current trend is for more non-cash payments， and this trend will probably continue in the future.But embracing a new trend doesn’t mean to exclude the “old-fashioned” ways.Perhaps it is more convenient for everyone — young and old， men and women — to have various options， in both cash and non-cash forms， when it comes to making payments， for the better good.

Each Sunday， when I was young， the families would gather at my grandparents’ home in New York. Mother had one brother and two sisters； they would be there with their children. These visits would begin with fun， laughter and plenty to eat. 　　Maybe because there were so many of us， or maybe because we all spoke so excitedly， somehow a conversation would soon turn from an opposing point of view into an angry shouting match. But the following Sunday， all the families would show up again as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened. 　　The arguments were more likely to occur between my mother， Florence， and her sister， Mary. I never knew why they didn’t get along， but I do know that they loved each other very much. 　　When Mother moved to America with my brother and me， Aunt Mary took her under her wing to help her adapt to life in another country. Mary was always there for my mom， and my mom was always there for her. 　　After my grandparents passed away， Mother and Aunt Mary met only once more. It was at my grandfather’s funeral （葬礼）. As the service ended， some words were exchanged， and a short but strong disagreement occurred between the two sisters — something about the will. Mother and Aunt Mary did not speak again. I knew it upset Mother very much because she had deeply loved her sister. I was too young to advise her. Thinking back， I should have tried. 　　Eight years later， news coming from nowhere said that Aunt Mary had passed away. It shocked our whole family. Mom couldn’t wait a second longer to check on the information. 注意：（1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式作答。 　　She called Aunt Mary， hoping for a response that would prove the inaccuracy of the news.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　The sister reconnected， their voices on the phone carrying the weight of years apart. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 参考范文： 　　She called Aunt Mary， hoping for a response that would prove the inaccuracy of the news. I’ll never forget the hopeful expression on my mother’s face. I heard her almost whisper， “Mary？ Is it you？” On the other line， I clearly heard what sounded like an overjoyed roar， “Florence！” It was a moment of total disbelief turned into absolute joy — Aunt Mary was alive！ Eight years of upset had suddenly been erased from my mother’s face. I knew in her heart that she had always loved her dear sister， and their breakup had hurt her deeply. Not that she had ever admitted it — until now. 　　The sisters reconnected， their voices on the phone carrying the weight of years apart. Both women came to their senses. In the mix of disbelief and gratitude， the unbreakable bond between two sisters， thought to be lost， reappeared stronger than ever. The news that first broke the family now brought them together. Although eight years had passed， Mom and Aunt Mary picked up where they had left off. Living in different states by then， they still managed to get together one way or another. They called， visited， laughed and cried. And yes， they fought and made up， just like in the old days. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
