【正确答案】

Online Shopping

The lady in the picture is surprised when she watches her Alipay bill. She has bought too much stuff on Taobao,which she didn‘t realize until she got the annual bill. It seems that online shopping has brought not only convenience but also troubles for consumers.

Ten years ago, many netizens were still at an ignorant stage of online shopping. At that time, Taobao was just established and Jingdong was also a newly established e-commerce website. Only in 2006 did domestic online shopping enter the stage of rapid development. Nowadays, online consumption has replaced offline entities as the mainstream, and consumers‘ online shopping habits have also taken shape. And it only took ten years.

Online shopping surely has its advantages. Firstly, people can shop without leaving their homes, saving plenty of time. Secondly, the Internet offers more choices, so the consumers can make a comparison. Last but not least, consumers can get detailed information on the Internet, such as the performance, usage, production date and other information of the commodity, even other users‘ comments.

Despite of all those advantages, we still need to take our wages and demands into consideration when we shop online. Otherwise, we may get ourselves in debt, and at the same time, cause wastes.
