As more and more people flood in big cities, hoping to make the most of the opportunities they offer, these expanding urban centers are becoming less agreeable, and urban people are facing numerous new challenges.
Firstly, the growing population adds to the congestion and pollution that already exist in big cities. People have squeezed into space-limited cities, leading to more unnecessary chaos. Secondly, fast-rising housing prices have brought about greater pressure on urban people, seriously lowering their quality of life. Lastly, to make a better living, people are in a rush to get into the office and home, leaving little time to make conversation with other people. In the long time, it would be hard for such cities to become harmonious places as we expect.
Therefore, some thoughtful urban planning is needed to make our cities better and safer places to live in. Governments should make more efforts to improve the infrastructure and housing conditions and create enough opportunities for education and employment.

Due to the rapid development of communication networks, the number of Chinese smartphone users has grown at an alarming rate in recent years, which has changed dramatically the way many people read. They are now reading news or articles frequently through smartphones rather than purchasing traditional newspapers or magazines. A large number of mobile apps have been developed, enabling people to read novels and other forms of literary works through mobile phones. As a result, the sales of printed books have been influenced. However, surveys show that more than half of the adults are still fond of reading printed books, although the market for reading through smartphones has grown steadily.

Nowadays, the number of Chinese students going abroad in pursuit of higher education has been increasing steadily. Studying abroad is fun, exciting and life-changing, but it is also filled with challenges.
Firstly, studying abroad can be costly, especially in terms of college tuition and the cost of living. When one lives on a stringent budget, his or her quality of life will slip away. Secondly, adapting to a different culture can be very difficult. Many overseas students meet with language weakness and poor adaptability to foreign environments. Lastly, studying abroad isn’t the ticket to a good job. Many college students optimistically think that having an overseas diploma can help them find a decent job. However, remarkable capacity for work is what employers value more.
Therefore, think twice before deciding to go abroad. Going abroad is not the only way to expand future career opportunities.

Indeed, more and more Chinese people can’t live without a mobile phone now. Many of them, the seniors included, are using mobile apps to stay connected to each other and expand their circle of friends. They also use a mobile phone to shop online or find online information due to the convenience of carrying a mobile phone with them. Besides, it is cheaper to communicate via mobile apps than through traditional phone calls. Nevertheless, the new trend has led to an over-reliance on mobile phones for social interaction. In fact, some young people have become terribly addicted to mobile phones, so that they have neglected face-to-face communication with their families and friends.

With the expansion of college enrollment and fierce competition in today’s job market, it has been a big problem for young graduates to get a satisfying job. Challenges are as follows.
Firstly, many new college graduates have unrealistic expectations of the job market they are entering. They are too optimistic about their job prospects and salaries. Secondly, they are troubled by the choice of location to start a career: big cities or small towns? Higher payment, convenient living conditions and generous welfare in big cities are tempting, but heavy life pressure such as soaring housing prices is discouraging. Lastly, many graduates fail to equip themselves with adequate knowledge and skills favored by employers. Actually, outdated course curriculum and training are to blame.
Therefore, improving the employment situation of college students calls for joint efforts of individuals, universities and society. As for graduates, they must change their attitudes towards employment and develop required skills.

China’s mobile payment market has been experiencing a tremendous growth in the past few years. With the emergence of mobile Internet, shopping through mobile phones has gradually become a trend.

In order to encourage people to spend more, many stores offer discounts to customers who use mobile payment. Experts predict that China’s mobile payment market still has great development potential in the future.
