大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【中国的交通】。
在中国生活，有很多交通方式可以选择。去远的地方出差和旅游，可以选择乘坐飞机或者高铁。例如，从北京到上海，高铁大概需要五六个小时，六百块钱左右；坐飞机的话，不同日期、不同起飞时间价格差别比较大，特价机票只要400块，最贵的票要两千多。火车比较慢，价格也比较便宜，例如北京到上海的火车硬座只要156.5块，硬卧是283.5块。
如果你住在中国的城市，有什么出行方式呢？最方便的是坐地铁，不塞车很准时，缺点是上下班高峰人很多需要等。坐公车也是一个常见的选择，有可能你住的地方和工作的地方楼下就有公车站，非常方便，缺点是塞车的时候比较慢。有的人喜欢自己开车，更自由；有的人喜欢打车，打车费便宜还不用交停车费。在中国，很多大城市禁摩，所以更多的人骑电动车。你在路上可能会看到颜色鲜艳的自行车，黄色、蓝色、或者绿色，那个是共享单车。如果你要去一两公里远的地方，走路太久，打车又太近，那么骑个共享单车是最方便的。打开手机的支付宝，扫一下单车上面的二维码，就可以开锁。到达后上锁，小程序会自动计算费用，两公里大概是2.5块。
你可能不知道，在很多大城市，如果你想买车，不是想买就可以马上买。如果你要买燃油车，你需要排队摇号，这个是政府为了控制汽车的数量，减少污染以及塞车的情况。不过，如果你买的是新能源车，那就不需要摇号，这是因为政府想鼓励大家购物新能源车。现在在中国的马路上，你可以看到越来越多的新能源车，或者叫电车。除了特斯拉，也有很多中国本土的品牌，例如理想、小鹏等。
你最喜欢的交通方式是什么？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

中国的交通 Transportation in China （Intermediate level）

Podcast by American English tutor Carl. Improve your spoken English and book a lesson with me: https://teach.italki.com/teacher/1947582
Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English podcast. I'm your host, Carl. Today I want to talk to you about note taking and note taking apps. So in the course of learning a language or living your life in general, you have to take notes. Notes, help you organize your thoughts and help you remember things and help you learn things.

So note taking is very important. I like to use several apps to take notes. I've experimented with different apps over the years, but today I want to talk about my favorite apps for taking notes. I will list them in the order that I use them. So I use Google Keep most. Google Keep is part of the Google suite of apps, and the advantage of Google Keep is that I can take notes on my iPad and they will show up on my computer and also on my phone.

And all of these apps that I'm going to talk about allow you to write with a digital pen, which is important for me. Why? Because I like to write down my notes with handwriting. And when you're learning things like Chinese, you need to write the characters by hand instead of typing them. And any language actually that you're learning, it helps to handwrite the vocabulary or words, because then you're more likely to remember them.
I've read that somewhere. So Google Keep is a great option because it allows you to view your notes on multiple devices because it's saved online. And then also because you can add lines, paper and grids, and you can handwrite in Google Keep. And I use Google Keep every day. And you can also connect Google Keep to other things like Google Calendar and things like that.
