Buying things on the Internet, such as books, air tickets and groceries, is becoming more 
and more popular. 
Do the advantages of shopping in this way outweigh the disadvantages? 
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own 
experience. 
Write at least 250 words 
As time goes by, online shopping is becoming more and more popular among the people and 
this case simplifies the way people shop. Some think that it is beneficial for not only the public 
but also the country or city, itself, while others consider it has a detrimental effect in some 
cases.
On one hand, shopping on the Internet is much more beneficial than going to the store after 
something necessary spending a great deal of time and effort. Online shopping can give the 
public great shopping opportunities like offering a wide selection of goods, high quality of the 
products being sold online, not being time-consuming, especially, being done just by the 
“click” of a button or a single phone call or a piece of message written in two-to-three seconds. 
Such kinds of online shops offer their customers an opportunity of door-to-door delivery, 
several kinds of making a payment for the product being purchased and a superior packaging, 
especially, by the stores offering people a wide range of souvenirs, clothes, bakery and 
groceries. Shops selling goods online are appreciated most, especially, because of its time-
saving opportunity so that customers do not necessarily need to visit the store or a shop, 
browsing through a type of good but a luxurious one, as well.
On the other hand, there are some views of being deceived by online shoppers like making a 
payment for the product advertised on the Internet and not receiving it on time. As such kinds 
of being deceived cases increased, people’s trust on the merchandise being sold online 
vanished. People no longer want to lose a fortune by trying to get something necessary wanting 
to save their valuable time and effort. Although they are tied up to their feet working dawn to 
dusk, they started to make time in order to purchase something expensive going to the store on 
their own, but it involves a lot of time and attention, evoking possibilities of missing a day of 
work or losing the amount of time which could be spent on making an accountant’s statement, 
instead.
To summarize, I would say that shopping online is a positive factor, which can create a 
comfort zone for those who are obliged stay at work until midnight. If been careful and 
hopeful, anyone can make best of the chances offered by online stores, myself.
