More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that's why there are about 1.4 billion bicycles and only about 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit (受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.
Folding (可折叠的) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by accessing on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travellers.

Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident. Bicycling is healthier than driving.
As we all know, with the development of technology, smartphones have influenced the old people in our family a lot. A TV programme interviewed three teenagers on how smartphones influence their family.
My grandfather asked me to teach him how to play the popular video game King of Glory(王者荣耀). I was surprised that he was interested in this! He chats with family members on Wechat every day. He tries to learn other new things as well. For example, he watches courses on learning apps. Although he is old, he still cares about technology and sports. So, as we can see, the Internet can help elderly people. —Xing Yuxi, 12, Chongqing |
I live in Hangzhou, a city of technology. People enjoy the convenience(便利) brought by the Internet. However, I often worry about the elderly. Take my grandma as an example. On one hand, she would like to get discounts by using mobile phones. On the other hand, she's afraid of getting cheated online. I think it takes time for elderly people to get used to these things. We should help them keep up with the times. — Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang |
Smartphones have made a big difference in my grandma's life. In the past, newspaper and TV programs were her only ways to get information. However, it was not good for her eyes, as she has severe cataracts(严重白内障). But now, she can listen to the news through all kinds of apps on her mobile phone. She doesn't have to look at the screen all the time. Sometimes, she even plays mobile games for fun. Thanks to the Internet, my grandma now has a more colorful life. —Wen Jiayi, 13, Sichuan |
