One-click Shopping
What can you buy online? These days you can buy food, cars, holidays and even a house with a few clicks and a credit card. In fact, it might be quicker to list the things that you can’t buy on the Internet. According to the statistics, 85% of Internet users have bought something online. In 2006, only 10% of the world’s population shopped on the Internet. Two years later the figure was 40% - that’s nearly 900 million shoppers.
It’s easy to see why people are choosing their computer instead of the high street. With city centres getting more and more crowded, and things like petrol and parking getting so expensive, it makes sense to avoid the crowds and shop from home. There are often great deals on the internet, too. Of course, there are disadvantages to shopping for things online. You can’t try clothes on before you buy, so they can sometimes be the wrong size, or disappointing when they arrive. And of course, Internet shoppers have to be patient and wait for the goods to arrive.
So will Internet shopping replace shopping in town completely? It’s hard to say, but most people think it won’t, even with more and more Internet offers and possibilities. In the UK shopping with friends or family has become one of the most popular leisure activities. Many people simply enjoy going shopping.
Why do people prefer online shopping?
It’s more expensive
To avoid crowded city centers
To meet new people
To try clothes on immediately
The word “disadvantages” in the text is CLOSEST in meaning to _____.
merits
benefits
profits
drawbacks
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
The trend of shopping as a social activity in the UK.
The inconvenience of crowded city centers and expensive parking.
The percentage of global online shoppers in 2008.
The ability to try on clothes before purchasing them online.
What does the text suggest about future shopping?
Only young people will shop online
People will stop shopping altogether
Internet shopping will completely replace traditional shopping
Internet shopping won't replace shopping in town completely
