今年5－8月的雅思口語新題當中有這麼一張卡片，讓許多考生頭疼不已。
Describe a person who gave a clever solution to a problem.
Who the person is
When and where it happened
What the problem was
And explain why it was a clever solution
環球教育上海學校羅恬老師結合實例為大家解析如下：
Problem不難想到，生活中處處都是problem。難想的是clever solution，還要解釋清楚了這個solution聰明的地方在哪裡。坦白說這個話題筆者也想了很長時間，有一些備選的素材，但要麼就是背景信息太多不好表達，要麼就是晦澀難懂，學生比較難消化。
直到昨天，筆者吃完晚飯，想要從餐廳走到地鐵站的時候發現，1公里多的路程，走起來要15-20分鐘。打車太近，走路又太遠。這個時候看見路邊的mobike單車，掃碼，騎走，到地鐵站一共才花了5分鐘不到，還很輕鬆。筆者覺得mobike就是一個clever solution。解決了我們出行不方便的問題。
確定了大方向，接下來就是細節的問題了，Who is the clever person? The founder of Mobike. 簡單地瀏覽了一下關於摩拜單車的新聞後，我獲得一些重點信息，用來回答這個題目。
The clever person I'd like to talk about today is Huweiwei, the founder and CEO of Mobike Technology. She is a young entrepreneur in her 30s. Born in Zhejiang province and spent most of her time in her 20s working as a journalist, Weiwei decided to quit her job and create Mobike when she was 32.
這個聰明的人叫胡瑋瑋，浙江人，創業之前一直在北京媒體行業從事記者的工作。
The company called Mobike Technology was established by her in January, 2015. A few months later, they had their own factory in Beijing. It is the first well-known bike-sharing company in China.
2015年，她在北京成立了摩拜科技，數月後又建立了廠房。
I've watched an interview with Weiwei, she said in the video that the traffic is surprisingly terrible in Beijing. The horrible traffic jams in rush hours is just one thing, what made her more frustrated was the inconvenient public transportation. Only a few people can live close to the metro stations, and the shuttle buses between metro stations and residential areas are quite limited. Every morning, she had to order a taxi to the station, it was a torture for her to spend such a long time on transport. That's when she started to realize, bicycle seems to be the only solution to the problem.
曾經看過一個她的採訪，在採訪當中她有坦言說出為何會創建摩拜的原因：北京的公共交通不方便，出行難，地鐵站距離目的地太遠都是亟待解決的問題。
Mobike is indeed a clever solution and invention. It's different from other shared bikes, firstly because of its weather-sensible design, including plastic wheels and airless tires. It can withstand the raining seasons in most of the big cities in China, like Shanghai's plum rains.
It has solved most of the problems caused by the inconvenient public transportation in big cities in China. You don't have to wait in the traffic jams, if you can find a mobike nearby and scan it with your smart phone.
More importantly, it is a win-win solution, not only did it solve people's traffic problems, it has positive effects on the environment. That's why the government has been funding the company ever since it was established.
分析這個解決方案聰明的時候我一共找了三個切入點：一是單車的設計聰明，用了塑料材質和不用充氣的輪胎；二是它在解決了出行難的問題的同時還解決了交通擁堵；最後，它還是一個雙贏的策略，政府也得以緩解環境汙染的問題。
