Nowadays, shopping online becomes a new way of shopping. It is
getting more and more popular. Many people like doing some shopping
through Internet.
Why is shopping online becoming more and more popular? First, it
has lots of advantages (优点). There are many goods on the Internet.
People can find anything they want. The price on the Internet is usually
cheaper than that in the store. People can save money. Second, more and
more people have their own computers and they join their computers with
the Internet. So it is possible for many of them to do shopping through the
Internet. People don’t need to go to the shop themselves. They can save a
lot of time.

of the goods on the Internet. And they can’t enjoy the pleasure of buying
things in a large supermarket or a wonderful shopping centre. Maybe
shopping online makes people boring. So some people don’t like this new
way of shopping. They are worried about the safety of shopping online,
