Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now he might get on the Internet and write them in his blog(博客), a diary and a blog are almost the same. Then, what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public than a diary. Anyone can read what you write in your blog. Usually a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as a secret. If you are not satisfied with a friend and write something bad about him in your diary, he will never know it. However, if you do this on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.
A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs. They know that their friends will read what they write. If you feel sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly writer back to comfort you and offer their help. Blogs help people know what their friends are doing.

SHANGHAI—After finishing dinner, Liu Xu started a WeChat mini-program called “Clear Plate” on his phone and took a picture of the empty plates. He was then awarded 157 points after the photo was recognized by artificial intelligence (人工智能). “Users of the app can use their points to buy gifts or order charity meals for children in poor areas,” Liu said.
The Shanghai citizen used the mini-program to record himself “clearing the plate.” Liu also joined a group of like-minded people who are in a campaign (活动) called “Clear Your Plate”. The purpose of this campaign is to stop food waste and encourage customers to save food in restaurants. Also, restaurants are encouraged to offer different portion (份) sizes so that customers can have more choices. Up to now, the “Clear Plate” mini-program has become popular among young Chinese and has nearly 1 million users. Similar campaigns like an “Empty Plate Challenge” are also found in many Chinese universities.
“Technological innovation (创新) is a good way to reduce food waste,” said Liu Jichen, founder of the company that developed the app. The idea was shown at a dinner in 2017, when Liu found that a restaurant would give diners who ate up their food a card and offer small gifts after they collected enough cards. “Everyone who doesn’t waste food could enjoy a sense of gain at a lower cost,” Liu said. Such an idea could be realized online, so Liu led his team to work on the project. Now, Liu and his team are working hard to make the AI system smarter.
Through the mini-program, people can clearly see the good results of saving food, which will effectively reduce waste.
“We hope our efforts can start a new way among the young, encouraging them to develop the habit of loving and saving food,” Liu said.
