The Advantages of Online Payment

Online payment has been advocated around the world, which is the future way to pay bills. In China, Alipay is popular everywhere, even the small business can be finished by this advanced way. People play the joke that they don’t need to worry about the lack of cash. The advantages of online payment are obvious.

Firstly, it saves people’s time to pay bills. The use of online payment is carried out with a smart phone. Especially when we go to the supermarket, there are always a lot of people waiting in the long line. The process of costing customers’ time is to take out the cash or use the credit card, because both customers and cashiers need to count the money or check the bills. But now the cashier can just scan the phone and the bill will be paid and the customer can check quickly.

Second, people don’t have to worry about getting the fake cash. Many years ago, people were easy to get fake money as they received the change. But now, as the cash have been used less, people won’t receive the fake cash without paper money. With the development of new applications, our life will be much convenient.

【优秀范文】

Dear Jim,

I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike--mobike mentioned in your latest letter.

It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy your trip.

Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well.

Hope to ride a mobike with you in China.

Yours,

Li Hua

Shopping on the Internet has a lot of advantages, of which the most important is perhaps its convenience.People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shopsin person（亲自）. The goods come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers andclick the mouses（点击鼠标）. The commodities they order will bedelivered（运送）to them promptly.

However, shopping on the Internet also has its disadvantages. The first disadvantage is thatthe consumers can't see the goods ortrythem on（试穿，试验）personally. Sometimes, the real goods may not be the same as what they have seen on the computer. The second disadvantage is thatsome shops on the Internet are notregistered（注册）. They will never deliver anything to you after they get the money from you. Once cheated, you will find that you have nowhere to go to complain.
