22. Describe a website you like to visit.
Today, I am going to tell you about one website which I’m really interested in. It’s name
is m.ebay.com.
It is an e-commerce website used for online shopping purposes. This website advertises
various items classified by categories such as fashion, electronics, and motors. It allows
people to order products, and make transactions online.
I always give priority to shopping online whenever I have spare time instead of going to
stores or supermarkets. So, this website is very handy for me as I can take advantage of
my mobile phone or computer with an Internet connection to access it and purchase
what I need.
I find this website very appealing due to its good layout and attractive images of
products. There is a box for me to enter what items I’m looking for so I can avoid
browsing items unnecessarily, as I’m able to find quickly the things I need. After that
the items I have bought will be delivered right to my door so I can save a lot of time.
Not only that, there is always the chance to get a good deal and discounts as there are
various promotion programs.
This website has important advantages for me, such as convenience and the benefits
of saving time and money. Now it plays a useful role in my daily life. In the future I will
continue to visit the site and of course recommend it to my friends.
