本期节目话题背景

前几天，有同学问我了这样一道题：描述一家雇用了很多员工的公司，这就让我想起了阿里巴巴。阿里巴巴已经成立于1999年，经过20多年的发展，阿里旗下有购物、支付、外卖、地图、物流、视频、旅游以及金融等20多款APP，涵盖了我们日常生活中衣食住行的各个方面，可以称得上是中国最 大的互联网公司之一。

各位同学，你们知道我们平时用的那些APP里面，都有哪些是阿里巴巴旗下的吗?这样强大的阿里集团，你们了解多少呢?

2雅思口语Part 2话题参考文本

This topic reminds me of Alibaba. It’s the NO 1 E-commerce giant in China.

What I really wanna emphasize today is a branch under the legendary company, called eleme.

It is a c to c company, provides a platform for the restaurant and the customer to get connected. And they have hired loads of courier as middle persons to deliver take outs to the customers’ door. It is a super smart business, and became such a huge success and took up the whole market swiftly , before any other company had any chances to thrive in China.

I have to say this company indeed helped China increase the employment rate.

When you order food from the application, it actually pins to all the local delivery people who can see different orders from the local area, and pick them up.

Covid accelerated the rise of many different delivery services and the leading delivering company in China is still Alibaba.
