Topic 1-Shared car or car sharing

 

We've witnessed the rise of the sharing economy in the last 5 years. On the internet, via your smartphone, everything is for hire. From bike sharing and to office sharing, now, cars can be shared too! Driving a Smart automobile¹ can be as cheap as 15 Yuan?! How does work? Will it work in China?

 

Topic 2-Chocolate not on hot sale in China

 

Just like Juliette Binoche said in the American film "Chocolate": "You cannot refuse chocolate just as you cannot refuse love," it's difficult to refuse the charm² of chocolate.

 

However, a US chocolate producer has revealed³ in its latest financial report that its sales revenues⁴ dropped for 4% last year. Does that mean Chinese people don't love chocolate?

 

Topic 3-Mobile phone on silent mode⁵ makes people difficult to receive phone calls

 

Has this happened to you? You haven't checked your smartphone in a short while, then you get half a dozen missed calls. The caller, be it your girlfriend, boyfriend, or boss gets mad at you for not picking up. You try to explain: I've put my phone on silent mode. But it doesn't always go down well.
