Using a Credit Card
Nowadays an increasing number of people choose to pay by credit card instead of in cash. Paying by credit card is no doubt better than paying in cash in tenns of convenience, security and hygiene.
现如今，选择使用信用卡支付而不用现金支付的人越来越多。使用信用卡支付在便捷性、安全性和卫生性方面无疑比使用现金支付要好。
First of all, paying by credit card is convenient. With a credit card, people do not need to carry lots of banknotes, especially when they buy expensive things. Secondly, paying by credit card is secure. A credit card is easy to carry and is hardly noticed by other people. Even if it is lost or stolen, the money still remains safe and sound. Thirdly, paying by credit card is hygienic. Scientists warn that a banknote may harbor a few million bacteria and become a breeding ground for diseases. But a credit card is kept by its owner all the time and even if it is dirtied， it can be cleaned with ease at any time.
