英语角-圆桌会议 RoundTable0316 - 无现金社会离我们还多远?(在线收听

Topic 1-How far is China from a cashless society?
 
We used to think a cashless society as something that is way off in the distant future. But that is simply not the case. The truth is that a cashless society is much closer than most people would ever dare to imagine.
 
Now, many Chinese people say cash is no longer necessary, mobile payment methods are just as good if not better.
 
How far are we from a no-cash society?
 
Topic 2-More people go freelacing
 
In the past, holding a permanent, full-time job was the main way to earn a living. But times are changing. If you're craving increased career flexibility, you're in luck; more people have become freelancers so they are more in charge of their work.
 
Topic 3-What are the disadvantages of being TOO nice to people
 
If you are nice to others, people will be nice to you. That's common sense. Sometimes though, being overly nice isn't always the best policy. We can attract the wrong kinds of people by being nice all the time.
