A time when the electricity suddenly went off 電力突然中斷的時刻

《A time when the electricity suddenly went off 電力突然中斷的時刻》是《雅思口說當季真經全詳解》Sep-Dec 2025 中收錄的雅思口說 part 3 延伸 part 2 cue card 的考題。問題內容如下（節錄）：

1. Do people use more electricity now than before?
   現在人們的用電量比以前多嗎？

   當然，現在人們的用電量比過去多得多。幾十年前，電力主要用於照明、收音機，也許還有家裡的電視。現在，幾乎所有東西都依賴電力：電腦、智慧型手機、冰箱、洗衣機，甚至汽車。辦公室、工廠和學校都需要大量電力來運作機器。空調和暖氣也消耗大量電力。隨著科技的不斷發展，我們對電力的需求將持續成長。這就是為什麼節約能源和開發太陽能、風能等清潔能源變得越來越重要。

   Of course, people use much more electricity today than in the past. A few decades ago, electricity was mainly for lights, radios, and maybe one television at home. Now, almost everything depends on electricity: computers, smartphones, refrigerators, washing machines, and even cars. Offices, factories, and schools all need a huge amount of power to run their machines. Air conditioning and heating also use a lot. As technology continues to grow, our demand for electricity will keep rising. This is why saving energy and developing clean energy sources like solar and wind power are becoming more important.

2. Which is better, electric bicycles or ordinary bicycles?
   電動自行車和一般自行車哪個比較好？

   點此看中文

   我認為電動自行車和普通自行車各有優缺點，所以要根據具體情況而定。電動自行車非常適合長途旅行或爬坡，因為它們可以節省大量能源和時間。對於需要快速到達學校或工作的上班族或學生來說，電動自行車尤其實用。另一方面，普通自行車更便宜，也更健康。它們能讓人得到很好的鍛煉，而且你不需要擔心充電或維修電池。就日常健身而言，普通自行車仍然更好。

   I think both electric bicycles and ordinary bicycles have their own good points, so it depends on the situation. Electric bicycles are great when people have to travel a long distance or climb hills, because they save a lot of energy and time. They are especially useful for workers or students who need to get to school or work quickly. On the other hand, ordinary bicycles are cheaper and healthier. They give people good exercise, and you don’t need to worry about charging or repairing a battery. For daily fitness, ordinary bicycles are still better.

3. How did people manage to live without electricity in the ancient world?
   古代人是如何在沒有電力的情況下生活的？

   點此看中文

   在古代，人們完全依賴自然資源，而不是電力。例如，他們白天利用陽光，晚上使用蠟燭或油燈，並用柴火做飯和取暖。由於沒有冰箱，他們也會用鹽或乾燥劑儲存食物。人們出行依靠步行、動物或簡易船隻，而不是汽車或火車。生活節奏慢得多，人們遵循自然的節奏。雖然聽起來很簡單，但與現代生活相比，這種生活方式也更加艱難，舒適度也更低。電力徹底改變了人類的生活和工作方式。

   In the ancient world, people relied completely on natural resources instead of electricity. For example, they used sunlight during the day, candles or oil lamps at night, and firewood for cooking and heating. They also stored food with salt or by drying it, since they had no refrigerators. People traveled by walking, animals, or simple boats, not cars or trains. Life was much slower, and people followed the rhythm of nature. Although it sounds very simple, it was also difficult and less comfortable compared to modern life. Electricity has completely changed the way humans live and work.

4. Do you think electric bicycles will replace ordinary bicycles in the future?
   你認為電動自行車將來會取代普通自行車嗎？

   點此看中文

   我不認為電動自行車會完全取代普通自行車，儘管它們可能會變得更加普及。普通自行車非常簡單、價格實惠，而且不需要特殊裝備就可以使用多年。許多人喜歡騎普通自行車來娛樂、運動或運動。電動自行車更適合城市通勤，但價格更高，需要定期充電。未來，我認為兩種類型會並存。有些人會因為方便而選擇電動自行車，而有些人則會堅持使用普通自行車，因為他們更喜歡健康的生活方式和自然的騎行體驗。

   I don’t believe electric bicycles will completely replace ordinary bicycles, although they might become more common. Ordinary bicycles are very simple, affordable, and they last for years without needing special equipment. Many people enjoy riding them for fun, exercise, or sports. Electric bicycles are more practical for city commuting, but they cost more and need regular charging. In the future, I think both types will exist together. Some people will choose electric bikes for convenience, while others will stick to ordinary bicycles because they prefer the healthy lifestyle and the feeling of riding naturally.
