Development of transport in China — class presentation
The boring draft
Score: 14 / 25 (Band C)
Good morning, everyone. Today I would like to talk about the rapid development of transport in China through three things.
First, shared bikes. Once parked everywhere in confusion, they are now made better through scan-to-park technology, making short trips clean and convenient.
Second, the high-speed train. With more than forty thousand kilometres of track, it now joins almost every major city and makes journeys that once took a day shorter to a few hours.
Third, new energy cars. Domestic brands have made a large share of the market and help air pollution at the same time.
Together these changes show how innovation changes daily life. Thank you.
The power upgrade
Score: 20 / 25 (Band A)
Good morning, everyone. Today I would like to speak about the rapid development of transport in China through three examples.
First, shared bikes. Once parked everywhere in confusion, they are now organised through scan-to-park technology, making short trips clean and convenient.
Second, the high-speed train. With more than forty thousand kilometres of track, it now connects almost every major city and cuts journeys that once took a day short to a few hours.
Third, new energy cars. Domestic brands have captured a large share of the market and reduce air pollution at the same time.
Together these changes reveal how innovation reshapes daily life. Thank you.
