App是雅思口語Part 2媒體類的常考話題,雖然在某些月份不在考查范圍內,但是風水輪流轉的雅思題庫里,肯定不會少了App這個話題。所以雖然近期不參加考試,但是有計劃在未來考雅思的娃,還是需要關注一下該話題的!大家除了可以把自己每天都在用的weibo,wechat或者QQ拿出來介紹之外,還可以整點兒特有“情懷”的,比如專治“低頭族”的Forest,比如獻給所有長成大人的孩子的B612,再比如下面這款Be My Eyes. 這真的是我見過的最善良最體貼的app了,利用科技把失明人士和視力無礙的人聯系在一起,給他們提供一個隨時可以求助的平臺,也給了我們一個伸出援手幫助他人的機會。
這款app操作簡單,只需要用我們的郵箱或者Facebook賬號注冊,就成為了這個program的一員,選擇你的角色(a sighted one or blind one),保持log on狀態,就隨時可以接到求助消息或發出求助信號。
The App I’d like to share with you is called Be My Eyes, which is the most heart-warming App I’ve ever known. It is for now only available at iphone app store, and as we can tell from the name, it basically makes a live video connection from a blind person’s phone to a random sighted volunteer’s phone, so that the volunteer could help them with little day-to-day things, like matching up socks, finding out whether the food has passed its expiration date in the fridge, or things like that. Sometimes they might be uncomfortable always asking friends, relatives or neighbors for help with those simple tasks, so I guess that’s why the developer created this app.
When I first heard of it from the Internet, I was curious how it worked. So I installed it, and then I just really started liking it. I like that I have an opportunity to help people who can’t see in this way that is also kind of cool and kind of no hassle for me at all. When someone who’s blind or visually impaired needs help, the app will send a notification to me. I haven’t helped so many people yet, but I think what I’m doing with this app is really meaningful.
The app depends on there being enough volunteers. And the amazing thing about it is that with so many volunteers around the world, we could offer help at any time. Like, if a blind person needs help at 3 o’clock in the morning, the app just ping a volunteer in another time zone.
This app has enabled blind people to feel more independent than they were before, and I’m also glad that I could be of some help.
語言點解析:
1. sighted
= able to see; not blind
2. day-to-day
只放在名詞前面,involving the usual events or tasks of each day,例如:She has been looking after the day-to-day running of the school.
他還有一個用法,表示“逐日的”,planning for only one day at a time,例如:I have organized the cleaning on a day-to-day basis, until our usual cleaner returns.
3. expiration date
The date after which an official document, agreement, etc. is no longer valid, or after which something should not be used or eaten. 海外生存英語必備.
4. hassle
A situation that is annoying because it involves doing something difficult or complicated that needs a lot of effort. 例如:It's a hassle having to travel with so many bags. 下次想表達“一點兒不麻煩,舉手之勞”,就可以用no hassle at all.
5. visually impaired
-impaired表示having the type of physical or mental problem mentioned,例如:hearing-impaired children, speech-impaired.
