Dialogue: (情境對話)

Hope : Hey, Joey. I found I can’t live without my smartphone around now.

Joey : Oh, why do you say so?

Hope : Yesterday, I did some grocery shopping at the supermarket and when I was about to pay at the cashier, I found that I had left my purse at home. I got no cash with me, nor my credit cards. Guess what, my smartphone saved my life or I would felt super embarrassed on the spot.

Joey : So, you paid with your mobile payment?

Hope : Yes. I paid with the Apple pay on my smartphone eventually. Phew!

Joey : Hmm…There are many payment options these days.

Hope : Yes. We can pay in cash or with ‘electronic money’ or ‘e-money’ for short. E-money can be credit cards, debit cards, or smart cards, like Easycard or iPASS, or mobile payment.

Joey : Yes, so many options to choose from.

Hope : So what about you, Joey, how do you usually pay when you go shopping?

Joey : It depends. When I have lunch or dinner at a small diner, I still pay in cash. But when I get a coffee or even a tea egg at a convenience store, I pay with my mobile payment. It is much more convenient than bringing a lot of cash and coins with you.

Hope : And sometimes you can even save some money or get reward points by paying electronically.

Joey : Yes. When you pay by mobile payment, such as Apple pay or Line Pay, you only need to tap your smartphone on the machine. And Beep…

Hope : And the transaction is done. What’s more, you can even save your invoices in your smartphone. This way, you will always know your total expenses. And it saves lots of trees, too.

Joey : That’s why it is harder and harder for modern people like you and me to live without our smartphones.
