App是雅思口語Part

2媒體類的常考話題，雖然在某些月份不在考查范圍內，但是風水輪流轉的雅思題庫里，肯定不會少了App這個話題。所以雖然近期不參加考試，但是有計劃在未來考雅思的娃，還是需要關注一下該話題的!

大家除了可以把自己每天都在用的weibo，wechat或者QQ拿出來介紹之外，還可以整點兒特有“情懷”的，比如專治“低頭族”的Forest，比如獻給所有長成大人的孩子的B612，再比如下面這款Be

MyEyes.

這真的是我見過的最善良最體貼的app了，利用科技把失明人士和視力無礙的人聯系在一起，給他們提供一個隨時可以求助的平臺，也給了我們一個伸出援手幫助他人的機會。

這款app操作簡單，只需要用我們的郵箱或者Facebook賬號注冊，就成為了這個program的一員，選擇你的角色(asightedoneor

blindone)，保持logon狀態(tài)，就隨時可以接到求助消息或發(fā)出求助信號。
