雅思口语Part 2话题卡：Describe a piece of technology (not computer-related) you like to use 喜欢使用的与电脑无关的技术(科技产品)
思路点拨：以下思路谨供参考，希望大家结合自己的切身经历编写答案。
可能是因为考试中，大家遇到技术相关的话题就会回答电脑。这次British Council特意在题目中说明该项技术不能与电脑相关。幸好我们处于一个技术大爆炸的时代，除了电脑之外还有很多有意思的话题可以说。其中，最容易联想到的应该就是智能手机(smart phone)，它可以用来打车、付款、游戏、语音等等。当然我们也可以选择一个比较小的话题，比如微信或者支付宝。前者实现了发送语音的功能，后者开启了移动支付的时代。此外，我们还可以说一些新出的小东西，例如语音识别的音箱，可以检测体脂的体重秤，只能手环等。
下面是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：
Describe a piece of technology (not computer-related) you like to use
You should say:
What the technology is
When it was invented
What it is used for
How do you feel about it
我要告诉你的技术是汽车的自动驾驶系统。它意味着路面交通工具不再需要人来充当自己的司机，而是可以自己根据路况来决定行驶速度，路线以及是否需要刹车。
The technology I am going to tell you is the autonomous car, which enables vehicles on the road to drive themselves and may turn the term ‘driver’ into history. The cars, not the human, will decide the speed, travel routes and whether to press the brakes.
这项技术很早以前就存在于人们的想象之中。不少科幻小说中都描述有不需要人类驾驶的交通工具。但直到最近，这项技术才逐渐成熟起来，并开始在实际生活中得以应用。前不久，中国最 大的互联网公司之一百度在北京正常使用的道路上实验了自己新开发的无人驾驶汽车，而荷兰则决定在2020年开设一条无人驾驶的公交线路。
This technology has been in human’s mind for a long time. There are many science fictions depicting future transportation systems without drivers on them. But it was nothing more than a fantasy until recently. With the breakthrough of other technologies, we finally see the possibilities of a driverless transportation system. Do not copy or repost it. Last month, Baidu, one of the biggest companies in China, tested its autonomous car on the busy road in Beijing, and Netherland decided to introduce a driverless bus route in 2020.
这项技术将彻底改变人类的交通状况。程序不会受到情绪的影响，不会疲倦，不会违反交通规则。它甚至可能彻底消除交通事故，逐渐淘汰交通信号灯。试想一下，以后人类坐到车中之后，完全不用担心驾驶情况。我们可以看个电影，喝点酒，或者跟朋友聊聊天，然后就可以到达自己的目的地。这将是多么美妙的场景。
This technology will bring a radical change to human’s transportation system. Cars adopted autonomous systems will not be affected by human emotions, not get tired for driving too long, and never break the traffic laws. It may eradicate traffic accidents and gradually eliminate traffic lights because it does not need one. Imagine that, when you get into a car, you can watch a movie, chat with your friends or have some drink, waiting for the car to reach your destination. During the journey, the last thing you need to worry about is driving. What a fantastic future.
