Bike-sharing is new for short journeys in cities. It is a good choice for the big cities to develop healthily.
A report found that shared bikes started the nation's love for bikes again. The love is not only among young people born in the 1980s and 2000s, but also among people over sixty. Now they are choosing bikes instead of cars to make short journeys in cities. If you have a smart phone, the nearest bike equipped with GPS will be easily found through a certain app on your phone. It can also be unlocked through the app and left anywhere in public for the next user. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you just need to pay one yuan.
It is said that bike-sharing will help improve the cities' environment. It not only helps solve the traffic problems, but also will help to make more use of space in cities. Take Beijing as an example. If more people choose shared bikes, an area of five Bird's Nest Stadiums(体育场)will be saved.
At the same time, there are some problems with shared bikes that people need to solve properly. For example, some people park the bikes in their home; some break up the bikes on purpose; and others even throw them into the river. Facing all these problems, everyone should raise their own awareness of protecting the bikes. We should not only enjoy them, but also value them and put them to good use.

Students generally find it difficult to prepare for a speaking test because they have nobody to practise with or correct their mistakes. But that doesn't mean you can't test yourself.
Whether you're taking an end-of-course test or an official(官方的)exam like PET or IELTS, there's one great tool you can use: your mobile phone. (A). Nearly every smart phone(智能手机)these days has an inbuilt recording feature(内置录音功能)which you can use to test your speaking skills. You can record yourself speaking, play the recording back, and correct your own mistakes.
I practised this way in Italian. I chose some speaking questions from PET and did the exercise three times. The first time, I made a few grammar mistakes and didn't speak for long enough. The second time was a bit better, and the third time was nearly perfect.
(B). All in all, I made a real improvement with my grammar, pronunciation and how long I spoke. Also, recording myself put me under the pressure(压力)I would experience during an important speaking test.
Many students found this method useful. Nelia, from Brazil, said that she could hear her mistakes when she listened to her voice. She was mainly using the wrong verb tense and using prepositions incorrectly. When she tried the exercise a-gain, she got its right!
Donghyeon, from South Korea, said that the exercise helped him to improve his English skills in general.
