Sharing Economy In China, there are more and more people choosing not to take taxis, instead using DiDi DaChe(China's Uber), or using bike-sharing schemes to get around. People are not staying in hotels when they travel, instead adopting Airbnb to stay with locals. It's safe to say sharing economy is in the process of changing our way of life. Sharing economy brings convenience to us, such as, Airbnb provides us with an opportunity to experience the actual lives of the locals. Bike-sharing is also very convenient.People can ride these bikes to go to and from work, and it is good for the environment. However, sharing economy is not perfect, it also brings with a few problems, for example, some areas with bike-sharing schemes have had bikes stolen or damaged, and once in Taiwan, after checking in , a couple unexpectedly discovered, there are some surveillance both in bathroom and bed room. What do you think of sharing economy?

What happened to italki.com? I haven't come to italki for some days. Just now when I logged in this website. I suddenly found it had been changed. Some functions that I couldn't find. I felt very disappointed. I like this website. Because I think it is a very good and useful website for language learners. After feeling disappointed, I tried to research how to use the new version. The main menu interface in Chinese is easy to use. The functions are less than before. I just can find a teacher and read articles and receive the messages from other people. I can't find other functions there, such as I can't find the function of discussing and answering and finding a partner and so on. However fortunately, I find these functions still exist. They are hidden in the interface of helping and supporting. I am very happy, although, it took me some time to find them. I consider these functions are important for learners. We can post our questions on it and get the useful answer from other people. Every time when people give me help , I really appreciate. And I have two partners from this website. They are very nice . We sometimes talk via skype or QQ. We practice spoken languages that we are studying. Although it is not enough for me , this way really helps me to improve my English. I want to have much more opportunities to practice spoken English, meanwhile help my partners to improve their Chinese. If someone who is native speaker wants to improve Chinese we can help each other. (smiling)

What can I do to help my partner? I have a partner, she is 30, a single girl. In my city, girls who are around this age are still single. Most their parents will be worried about their marriage. My partner is the one among them. Her parents ask all their friends to introduce boys for her. My partner doesn't like What her parents do , meanwhile her parents put lots of pressure on her, they want their daughter can be married as soon as possible. My partner is very upset and sad. She is always stress. It is difficult for me to see her smile. I often think about what I can do to help her. Sometimes I console her when she is frustrated. But it doesn't work. Recently, her father's friends introduced five boys for her, she named them as number 1 to 5. Although she only wanted to meet number 1, her father wanted her to meet other boys at the same time. I know her parents wanted her to have more chances to learn about every boy. However it is not a good way to get a boyfriend. My partner feels very lonely, she told me she doesn't want to go home after working , sometimes she wandered in the city untill late night , because as long as she arrived home her parents talked about her marriage. They brought lots of pressure on her. Who can tell me what I can do to help my poor partner?
