Dear Eric,

In modern China, there are four great inventions. They are high-speed train, online shopping, bike-sharing and Alipay. They all have their own features and influence people’s life in different ways. High-speed train is comfortable and fast, which makes travel more convenient. Online shopping enables people to buy things at home with lower prices. Bike-sharing provides a new way of transportation and reduces traffic congestion. Alipay is a safe and convenient way for people to pay through their mobile phones.

Among these four great inventions, I think bike-sharing is the most useful one. It not only provides people with a new way of transportation but also promotes public health and environmental protection. With the development of bike-sharing, more and more people are encouraged to use public transportation instead of private cars, which helps to reduce air pollution and traffic congestion. In addition, bike-sharing is convenient and cost-effective for people, especially for students and low-income groups.

What do you think of these four great inventions? I’m looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,

Wang Ming
