Non-cash payment is the best way to go. Even my nine-year-old niece and nephew know how to do them! And personally, I pay for everything with my smartphone. It only takes a blink of the eye --- just scan the barcode and click! And I never have to carry lots of heavy coins or dirty notes, or worry about losing my wallet --- for the fourth time! Speaking of "dirty", do you know that there are more germs on a coin than on a toilet seat !
20/10/18
非现金支付是最好的方式。 就连我九岁的侄女和侄子都知道怎么做！ 就我个人而言，我用智能手机支付所有费用。 只需要一眨眼的功夫——只需扫描条形码并点击即可！而且我再也不用带很多重硬币或脏钞票，也不用担心丢钱包——这是第四次了！ 说到“脏”，你知道硬币上的细菌比马桶座圈上的还多吗？

I mainly worry about over-consumption. If I have $20 in my purse, I can only spend up to that amount. But with electronic payments, I can spend again and again, just as long as my bank account has money in it!And what if you're in a place without Internet access or your phone battery dies

我主要担心过度消费。 如果我的钱包里有20美元，我只能花到那个数额。 但是有了电子支付，只要我的银行账户里有钱，我就可以一次又一次地消费！ 如果你在一个没有互联网的地方或者你的手机没电了怎么办？

Despite their convenience, electronic payments can have risks as well. It might not be safe as you think, as laptops and phones can be stolen or hacked easily. Criminals might spy on our payment records and clone our personal
information for their own use. Perhaps we could talk about using money less often, rather than replacing it for good

尽管方便，电子支付也有风险。 它可能不像你想象的那么安全，因为笔记本电脑和手机很容易被盗或被黑客入侵。 犯罪分子可能会监视我们的支付记录，并复制我们的个人信息供自己使用。 也许我们可以谈谈少花钱，而不是把钱永远替换掉？
Definition of non-cash payments
No cash is involved when people are making their payments. People make their payments with cards, mobile phones and other electronic devices.
Benefits
Convenient and fast. Do not need to carry lots of heavy coins or dirty notes. No more worries about losing wallets.
Conclusion
Non-cash payments, or electronic payments, bring us a lot of advantages. However, the disadvantages can’t be ignored. Maybe we could try to use money less often, rather than replacing it with non-cash payments for ever. Meanwhile, we need to think of ways to make non-cash payments better, friendlier and more scientific.
Problems
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.
Write an essay about non-cash payments using the information in Activity 6 and the words and the expressions in this section to help you. Do further research if necessary.

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.

什么是正反对比议论文？
你在考试、工作和日常生活中经常需要比较和对比事物，这时你撰写的文章就是正反对比议论文。一般来说，这类文章通常是对事物的正反两个方面或者两种不同的观点进行对比，从而得出结论。
这类作文是以考生面临的两种选择为主题,最终以考生本人的选择和态度归结全文。若考生对选择的态度是明确的,即二者选其一，那么考生分别阐述两种不同的观点的时候应该有自己的主观倾向性。比如: 对赞成事物的优点要详写，缺点要略写;对反对的事物则反之，从而使自己的观点得以实现。如果考生的态度是不明确的，即两者各有利弊，那么就不应该完全肯定某一个事物，也不应该彻底否认另一个事物。如果个人看法与文章前面列举的某种观点相同或相似并且需要论述理由时，考生要避免简单地重复前面提到的论点。
[正反对比议论文的基本框架]
开头:阐述标题中涉及的现象并且提出问题。主体:两种选择以及其理由或者优缺点。
结尾:综合前面的分析，表明自己的态度或者做法，并且简述选择的理由。

Dear Editor,
As we all know, online shopping has become an inseparable part of our life. However, opinions on online shopping are divided.
Some people think that it has brought us convenience because there is a wide variety of products available online for us to choose from. We can do shopping without going out. Especially during this terrible epidemic, online shopping has played a great role in ensuring the supply of daily necessities. But others think that online shopping has many disadvantages. For instance, we can't touch the goods or try them personally. The quality of goods is not guaranteed. Anyway, every coin has two sides. We can make the best use of online shopping's advantages and avoid its disadvantages.
Yours,
Li Hua

议论文以说理为主要表达方式，针对某个问题、某种现象或某个事件进行分析、评论，从而剖析事物、论述事理、发表见解、提出主张。写作步骤一般为：
1.确定时态、人称
议论文中的时态较为统一，多用现在时；人称多为第一、三人称。
2.构思提纲
文章可分为三段，即：呈现现象、阐述理由、从正面总结观点。
(1)呈现现象：注意要开门见山，不要拖泥带水。
(2)表明观点并阐述理由。就题目中的问题表明观点，提出若干理由，增强说服力。
(3)从正面总结观点。结论段可用一两句话来结束文章，同时要注意与上文呼应，但不能在句式及用词方面照搬前文。

Homework
Sample
Dear Editor,
As we all know, online shopping has become an inseparable part of our life. However, opinions on online shopping are divided.
Some people think that it has brought us convenience because there is a wide variety of products available online for us to choose from. We can do shopping without going out. Especially during this terrible epidemic, online shopping has played a great role in ensuring the supply of daily necessities. But others think that online shopping has many disadvantages. For instance, we can't touch the goods or try them personally. The quality of goods is not guaranteed. Anyway, every coin has two sides. We can make the best use of online shopping's advantages and avoid its disadvantages.
Yours,
Li Hua
