What Do You Think?
We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels. Maybe you have gone to a restaurant that served terrible food. Perhaps you have gone to a store that had high prices or bad service. Or maybe you have booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement.
These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises. We can do this by using apps. “App” is short for “application”. An app is a computer programme on a smartphone. You can use apps to do almost anything. Apps can help you play games, get directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If f you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app. Review apps help us evaluate services and products before we hand over our money. The idea is very simple. After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with one of your apps. You can say anything you want. If you like a hotel you stayed in, you can tell people that it was wonderful. If you think that the food in a certain restaurant was bad, then you tell people not to eat there. Other people can use their apps to read your reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people prefer to go out and decide for themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps are getting more and more popular every day. Some apps are for specific services. For example, Tripadvisor focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses on books. There are also other, larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can think of.
If you want to book a hotel, how can a review app help you?
A. It can tell you about the hotel before you book it.
B. It can tell you how to use a smartphone.
C. It can tell you about other people who post reviews.
D. It can help you write better reviews.
I am a person who loves to eat, so I often go to restaurants to eat but there is one bad thing I always remember when I go to a restaurant that is not bringing enough money. It's a beautiful day as always. Whenever I have free time, I will stop by this particular restaurant to eat. The restaurant is very nice and the food is always delicious. Before eating, I usually make a reservation, I choose the most vip place and confidently choose the dish. While rummaging through the selection of dishes, I saw a new item that was very beautiful and genuine, but did not look at the price I chose. Who would have thought that later my friend came and I was the one to invite my friend to eat. The food arrived very nice and very fragrant. After a while after I had eaten, I paid the bill, who would have thought. A huge amount of money appeared before my eyes. I took out the money but only half of it. At that time my face was pale and very shy and behind me was a long line waiting. I told them that I didn't have enough money, I thought I would stay and wash the dishes, who would have thought that because I am a regular customer, I can let the next time pay. Luckily for me that time was returned or else I don't know what to do to pay them anymore. And from that meal, I learned the lesson that when I eat, I should save or I'll be happy or miserable.
Last summer , I was allowed to eat lotus buffet by my uncle. At four hundred thousand a ticket , a price not cheap for ordinary people . It is so beautiful there is nothing more to say , attentive service staff , always smiling with guests . There is also a fountain with a lotus pond. It is the ideal place for us to have a delicious meal like mom's cooking. I eat very little seafood , yes , it is the food I hate from the sky to the bottom of the sea ( especially oysters ) . If it's seafood, I only eat two seafood dishes that I don't dislike, the only ones being octopus and squid fried with butter. I ate only sushi , adding some deep fried dishes and a few bowls of soup was enough . Choosing dessert , I ate a greasy cheesecake and reminded me of an indispensable summer dish , which is all flavors of ice cream .
