Online Shopping
及格版范文——袁美洁:
Nowadays, online shopping has increasingly become a fashion. Nobody will fail to notice that a growing number of people prefer shopping online such as Taobao because it brings us a lot of convenience. Just click your button, and all that you can do is to wait for your delivery to come。
However, everything can be divided into two, and online shopping has no exception. It also has many problems. First of all, most products have very poor quality. When you buy something online, you can not touch or feel them, so their quality is not so good as it looks. What’s worse, it will cause your financial insecurity, because the payment is also done through the Internet. Therefore, your bank account or credit card numbers will be stolen and make you suffer a great loss。
On the whole, through the above analysis, i believe online shopping has a very bright future. Although it has many problems, it is one of the results of modern society. There is a long way to go for us to improve its services。

One of the controversial issues today is online shopping. According to a recent survey,a large number of consumers are in favor of online shopping as it has become a trend. In this essay, I will discuss the positive and negative effects of this issue and offer my own view on it。
On the positive aspect, one of the most significant advantages is that online shopping brings customers so much convenience that it is widely recognized as much more time-saving than traditional shopping. Moreover, online customers have access to commodities of such a huge variety and number. Perhaps the primary advantage is that they have the opportunities to compare prices of a product offered by different retailers. On the negative aspect, there is a good chance of buying a defective product, as they cannot examine the quality when shopping online. What’s more, there exist some dishonest and incredible online retailers who may do further damages to buyers’ interests。
As far as I’m concerned, the benefits of online shopping greatly outweigh its drawbacks. People should make better use of shopping and bypass its negative effects. People can never be too careful when shopping online。
