Mobike
I’m going to talk about an application which is mobike today. I want to start with 2 questions. Have you ever heard about mobike? Have you ever used it? I use it quite frequently. Maybe you want to ask the public traffic is so convenient, why people still want to rent a bike? Here are the reasons:

First, some people don’t live nearby a bus station or a subway station and it will take dozens of minutes to reach home after getting off a subway. If they can rent a bike they can go home much more convenient and faster. Second some people want to buy a bike but there is a large chance that they could lost it and renting a bike is a better choice. third, some people has a bike but they are going to somewhere else after work, so theyd better to leave their own bike at home and rent another bike instead.
