the structure of an essay about non-cash payments
Definition of non-cash payments
Benefits
No cash is involved when people are making their payments, mobile phones and other electronic devices.
Convenient and fast. Do not need to carry lots of heavy coins or duty notes. No more worries about losing wallets.
Problems
Conclusion
Not safe enough and may lead to over-consumption. Some forms of electronic payments are restricted to the Internet. Potential inconvenience exists if the phone battery dies. Some forms are unfriendly to those who don’t know how to use electronic payments, especially the elderly.
Non-cash payments, or electronic payments brings us lots of advantages. However, the disadvantages can’t be ignored. Maybe we could try to use money less., rather than replacing it with non-cash payments for ever. Meanwhile, we need to think of ways to make non-cash payments better, friendier and more scientific.
Possible version
Para 1-- Definition: 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.
Para 2 --Benefits: Obviously, there are benefits. First, they are so convenient and fast that people could make almost all the payments with a single click on the phones. In some shopping centers, they can pay by simply standing in front of a camera adn let it recognize their faces. 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’s more, non-cash payments eliminate the risk of counterfeit money.
However, the problems that accompany non-cash payments should not be ignored. It is not as safe as people assumed, as it is not hard for hackers to access people’s bank accounts and steal the money. Also, your personal information is easy to be stolen. Meanwhile, non-cash payments may encourage over-consumption. They also depend too much on the Internet access or battery capacity--just imagine being at a place with no wifi and a flat battery. Last but not least, non-cash payments are not quite friendly with people not knowing how, especially the elderly. It’s such a pity to make them feel excluded and left out.
Para 3 Problems
Para 4 Conlusion
Nonetheless, non-cash payments are increasingly payt of our fast-growing modern society. The current trend is for more non-cash payments in future. But embracing a new trend doesn’t means to exclude the “old-fashioned” ways. Perhaps it is more convenient for people-- to have various options, in both cash and non-cash forms, when it comes to making payments, for the better good.
