QUESTION FOR PART 3
47.1. What type(s) of shop would you recommend a visitor to your country should go to?
(Why?)
If travelers ever want to have an authentic and unforgettable experience during their
journey, I would highly recommend they pay a visit to traditional markets or food stands
on the street to have a taste of true street foods, which are diverse in types and flavors.
Street vendors will also offer visitors a wide range of delicious dishes and true dining
experience.
Vocabulary:
Authentic (adj) genuine
47.2. Do you ever buy anything on the internet?
I reckon that most of clothing items I have ever bought are from ABC, an online fashion
shop where you can find basically everything you need to become a stylish lady. From
sexy little black dresses for partying to formal blouses for day life at office, ABC won’t
let you down. Since e-commerce and online shopping has become a trend thanks to its
convenience and optimal user experience, I no longer spend 30 minutes driving to any
clothing shops and another 2 hours choosing and trying on everything. In fact, with only
my laptop and a cup of coffee, I can easily shop from home with even more choices.
Internet really works magic.
Vocabulary:
Let you down (phrasal verb) disappoint somebody
E-commerce (noun) the buying and selling of goods and services via the internet

47.3. What do you think are the advantages of buying things on the internet?
Online shopping has been prevalent in a past few years for reasons. First and foremost,
buying online is incredibly time-saving. Well, obviously, time is considered the most
precious asset that everyone has but many have taken it for granted. Instead of
spending hours driving to your favorite malls to get some new clothes of the latest
collection, your problem can be solved with only Internet connections and, of course,
your fine taste in fashion. No energy is needed, either. Secondly, you always have best
deals when subscribing to any online stores, which can save you tons of money that you
even notice. Some shops even offer exclusive promotions for loyal customers,
therefore, get ready for special treats. Lastly, you can easily switch from site to site to
have even more choices without moving anything but your fingers. How awesome is
that.
