Shopping on
the Internet
Shopping on
the Internet, or shopping on-line is
becoming more and more popular. More and more people are using the Internet to
buy things. Why do people use the Internet shop?
Some people
say it is more convenient. They don`t have to leave their homes to order
something, and they can shop for anything they want at any time, day or night.
Other people say they can find things
for sale that they can`t find in the stores near their homes. Still other
people say they can find better prices on the Internet.
If you want
to buy something on the Internet , you need a credit card. You have to type
your credit card number and some other information on the website and send it
to the store over the Internet. You have to be sure that the store will not use
your information in the wrong way. You don`t want someone to get your credit
card number and charge something to your
account. Of course, you always have to be careful with your credit card number,
because people sometimes steal credit card numbers from stores and restaurants
too.
For people
who are too nervous to shop on-line, the Internet is a good place to go
window-shopping. Window-shopping is when you go to a store and look at the
things for sale, but don`t plan to buy anything. Window-shopping is easy on the
Internet. You can see what kinds of products are available and how much they
cost. You can visit stores with branches near you, or you can visit stores that
are only on the Internet.
Some stores
have a website for information about their stores, but not for shopping. Some
stores have a website for information about their stores, and you can shop
on-line there too. Some stores are only for on-line shopping.
