I do think shopping at an actual store is better. M What ? It s unbelievable. Shopping on internet, you can log in a website, browse through many items and categories comfortably at home, order the goods, pay by credit or debit card, and the goods will be delivered to your home, T Yes, you are right, it s really convenient. But don t overlook the disadvantage of online shopping. It s not so safe, some people have paid, but got nothing ; and it s likely to come across a hacker when shopping sometimes you maybe ripped off by the seller.

M Actually, It seldom happens like that. Now we have a good legal system to protect our consumers, and the website handles a point system where if the seller does something wrong, people comment negatively and then you know that he or she may not be trustworthy. T Even so, I still worry about shopping on internet. I think the market shopping is more secure, we can see the objects to make the right choice. M Hey, Tina, you have to change your mind. You know, there are many advantages for us to buy things on internet. Firstly, we have no time limit, we can buy a thing on the net at anytime, most of the shops are closed at 22:00 or even earlier, but the internet operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and can be accessed anywhere.

But to most people, they can avoid being crowd and queuing up at the cashier when going to the market store. On the internet they can go "window shopping" just like in a real shopping mall. T It sounds good, but you can t guarantee that you will buy good quality every time, maybe the product on the net looks much better than what you got, we can easily be fooled by pictures. M Well, please be optimistic, as long as you would like to have a try, you will feel the benefit of it.

T Yes, maybe I should go with the flow. But we can t deny the advantages of the market shopping, at least it s more healthy, we can walk instead of sitting at home for shopping. M Sure! T I have to say shopping online will get more and more popular. It's a real revolution about people's consuming habits. M That s right. T Do you think I can find a sweater for my dog online?

I like in-store shopping because it is personal, and I can have a good talk with the salespeople and make friends with more people. On-line shopping is just too mechanical and impersonal.
