With the development of economy and technology, shopping online has become more and more indispensable in our daily life. And it has almost become the most popular way to purchase, especially among the young. On the one hand, shopping on the internet makes our daily more convenient and comfortable. We could get anything we need without stepping out of home. Thus it will save much time for us to do other things. What’s more, there are many more kinds of goods than stores outside to choose from. And often the price on the internet is lower. On the other hand, we cannot touch the true good we want to buy, so it is difficult for us to judge whether the quality is good enough. Apart from that, there is still a risk that the things you bought will be damaged during the delivery.
As far as I’m concerned, shopping online is inevitable for its advantages brought to us. It will become more and more popular as time goes. What we should do is make it better. Shopping Online
Nowadays, Shopping Online has become a fashion and trend that we can hardly resist.
Some people think Shopping Online is convenient. Because it provides more choices for them and they can make their purchase easily without going out. What’s more, the goods online are cheaper than store’s. The most important of all, it’s very convenient for customers to place orders and pay for the commodities.
However, every coin has tow sides, Shopping Online is no exception. Other people argue that Shopping Online has many disadvantages. First of all, it’s easy for customers to buy something in bad quality without choosing in person. Even the commodities they got didn’t meet their order requirement. What’s worse, the delay of delivery will cause much inconvenience to the customers. The worst of all, the event of fraud online become a common phenomenon.
In my opinion, no one can ignore the fact that Shopping Online has a great impact on our daily life. We should have a rational attitude toward it and make purchase carefully. The best way is shopping on-line with an excellent reputation. Only in this way can we make good purchase on line.
