1. OPINIONS ON ONLINE SHOPPING
by Jim Bakos (6th
grade)
There are some advantages in online shopping. The products online are
sometimes cheaper and people buy them. Anybody can visit more shops
online by surfing the internet. You can shop without leaving your home
and that way you do not go anywhere by car. This way, most people
believe that they save time.
There are also many disadvantages in shopping online. Sometimes you
pay for the product you ordered, but the company does not send it. So,
then, you lose your money and cannot trust that company again.
Another problem is when the pictures of the product are misleading. So,
you may think you ordered a pair of “Nike” brand shoes and you finally
get “Mike” shoes! You cannot be sure about anything when ordering via
the internet!

Today technology has developed and almost everybody has a computer
at home. They use the computer and they do a lot of tasks. One of them
is online shopping. Online shopping has a lot of advantages, but it has
disadvantages, too.
The disadvantages are a lot, such as, you order something, you give the
money and they do not send it to you. The clothes you order may not be
your size. In other cases the material is of bad quality. Unfortunately,
you cannot test and see how clothes fit your body.
But there are a lot of advantages. For example, you can find cheaper
things. Shopping becomes faster and easier than the regular shopping.
You can buy things from your house or from your office. You can find
things you like.
Online shopping may facilitate people’s lives, but it hides a lot of dangers
and that is why people must be very very careful.

Online shopping is an activity that has many advantages and
disadvantages.
First of all, you can have everything you want cheaper and more quickly.
You can shop any time you want. You can shop from your computer
without going to the stores. You can receive it at your door. You can also
select from a big variety of products.
Unfortunately, online shopping has disadvantages as well. Firstly, you
cannot be sure about the quality of what you order, because you cannot
touch it. Also, you must pay extra money for the delivery and, what is
worse, you may never receive it! Sometimes you may have ordered the
wrong size and you cannot change it.
Although there are positive things in this issue, the disadvantages are
more. So, I do not like this idea and I will never buy anything online.

Nowadays, most of the people use the internet for many reasons. They
chat with other people, listen to music, play computer games, or
download films. There are some people who also use the internet for
online shopping, because in this way they do not have to go out and
waste time in the shops. However, some other people prefer to visit the
shops and buy whatever they want on their own.
First of all, one advantage is that people may find better things to buy
online and don’t want to waste their time going to the shops (or they are
sometimes tired, bored, or ill). Some products are cheaper when you
shop online and on the internet you can find and buy whatever you
want, any time you want it. In the end, people who work all day do not
have the time to go to the shops, so they prefer online shopping.
The disadvantages of online shopping are that spending too much time
on the computer is not good for our health and it is more boring,
because you are alone at home, but in the shops you are with your
friends, you talk, you laugh, you have fun! When you shop online it is

4. possible to order something wrong. In the end, buying online takes more
time to get what you bought.
In conclusion, there are some people who like using the internet and
that’s why they also prefer online shopping, but there are others who
prefer going to the shops with their friends and have fun, instead of
sitting alone at home.

A lot of people think that shopping online is a good thing to do. They
believe that sitting in front of a computer and choosing things is
amusing.
On the one hand, you can buy wonderful things, a variety of products,
you can compare prices and you can do all these without going out of
your house.
On the other hand, the products you can buy might not be the correct
ones and, this way, you can lose money.
So, we must be very careful while shopping online.

Online shopping has many pros and cons. My parents often buy clothes
from sites.
Whatever you buy is very cheap. There is a big variety of things. If you
buy something from the internet, you will get it very quickly. In addition,
do not forget that these online shops are open all day. Also, there is no
need to move.
On the other hand, online shopping has cons. Initially, the quality is bad
in a lot of things. Many people are not reliable and they exploit the
customers.
I believe that online shopping is not safe.

Today, more and more people buy different items from the internet.
Should we shop from such popular web shops?
On the one hand, there are some advantages: we can shop anything we
want at the time that we decide it by just being home. Also, the goods
are cheaper than in the real shops and there is great variety of things to
choose. So, we buy without being tired.
On the other hand, our order may be late when it comes, even if it is
already paid. We may not like the items in reality, when we take them
and, if we change our mind, we cannot call our order off. It is possible to
lose our money and not take the goods we ordered.
To sum up, it is both good and bad to buy things from the internet, so
everyone must be very careful with what he or she chooses to do.
