共享单车话题素材

大伙儿在城市的任意角落，应该都对上面这幅图的现象不陌生吧。五颜六色的共享单车整齐的排列在路边。在早晚高峰时段，马路的自行车道上也有相当一部分人在使用共享单车。毫无疑问，共享单车为人们的生活带来的极大的便捷。对于如此贴近我们日常生活、又如此普遍的话题，如果我们不把它形成托福口语的语料，岂不是暴殄天物了吗!作为口语老师，我们绝对不会允许这种事情的发生。今天咱们就来看一下关于共享单车的材料如何可以用于托福口语的答题，以及如何来进行表达。

首先关于共享单车的名字，最常见的说法是shared bikes, 在一些新闻报道中也出现了bikes-for-hire的说法，同学们可以按照自己的偏好来进行选择。

比如, 我们可以描述一下使用共享单车的过程：

To use the shared bikes, we first need to download and install the apps on our phones.

要使用共享单车，我们需要首先下载和安装共享单车软件。

You’ll be able to see available bikes nearby once you open the app, with the locations marked on the map.

打开软件后，可以在地图上看到你附近可以使用的单车。

Find the available bikes using the map.

我们需要根据地图标注的位置，找到单车。

Then, We just need to scan the QR code attached to the bikes, and they will unlock themselves.

我们只需要用手机扫描一下车上的二维码，车锁就会打开，

The mobile app will start the timer automatically.

并且手机的客户端就会开始计费。

After we reach our destination, we need to manually lock the bikes.

在到达目的地之后，只需要手动锁上车锁。

支付界面

The mobile app will stop the timer and calculate the cost.

手机端就可以自动结束行程，并显示我们的消费金额。

在描述共享单车的好处方面，我们可以从它方便快捷的角度出发。比如：

We can use it anywhere and anytime we want. We just need to find an available bike that’s nearby, instead of bringing our own bike all the time with us.

我们可以随时随地使用共享单车。我们只需要寻找附近的可用车辆，而不用一直带着我们自己的车。

We could park the bikes anywhere we would like to, without having to worry about that someone will steal them.

我们可以随处停放车辆而不用担心丢失。

We do not need to worry about traffic congestions if we use the shared bikes. It could reduce the time we spend on the road by a great deal, especially during morning and evening rush hours.

使用共享单车不需要担心交通阻塞，尤其是早晚高峰时段，可以大大减少我们的出行时间。

或者我们可以从共享单车有利于环保的角度出发。比如：

Using shared bikes can promote a low-carbon lifestyle.

共享单车可以倡导绿色低碳的生活方式。

We produce less carbon dioxide when we are riding bikes. Cleaner ways of transportation like bikes can limit the amount of greenhouse gasses we emit, and slow down global warming.

减少二氧化碳的排放，控制温室效应和减缓全球变暖。

当然了，我们也可以总结一些共享单车的缺点，或者目前面临的问题：

Since bikes can be parked anywhere after we use it, many of them are taking up a lot of space on the roads, limiting the space available for cars and pedestrians.

自行车使用完了之后被随意丢弃，占用了道路，阻止车辆和行人的通过。

In some places, the bikes have to be removed and dumped because of illegal parking, resulting in waste of public resources.

有些地方自行车因为占用道路，被市政人员清理，造成了很多公共资源的浪费。

总结了这么多的内容，下面我们来看这样一道口语独立题：

Talk about a recent trend in your country. Then explain your thoughts about the trend in details.

利用共享单车作为材料，我们就可以做出这样的回答：

Well, recently shared bikes are becoming more and more popular in my country these days. The bikes are very easy to use. All you need to do is download the apps to your phone, locate an available bike nearby using the app, then start riding it. Once you reach your destination, just lock it manually and the app will calculate the cost. It is so convenient. You don't have to worry about where to park it as well. Just leave it so that it won't block the roads and streets. Also, riding bikes can promote a low-carbon lifestyle, which can reduce air pollution and make our making environment better. So I think it’s a really good trend in my country.
