大学英语口语 online shopping

A：As a new shopping way, online shopping is not only convenient but also helpful for people. Why do I think so? On the one hand, online shopping doesn’t need you to pour a lot of time and energy into buying things. If you go shopping in this way, you will spend a few minutes in choosing the things that you need online instead of going out. Nowadays, we are busy studying as well as working, so that we have less time to go out for shopping. Moreover, online shopping doesn’t need us to get the things in person. On the other hand, online stores can provide various goods to satisfy our endless need. Besides, we can save much money by online shopping.
B：Undoubtedly, online shopping has brought us many conveniences. Yet its potential dangers to us could not be ignored. One possible risk is that we might not get the exact product we want because the information provided might not be enough or reliable. For a simple example, a student who wants to buy a pair of shoes might end up getting a pair with desired style but unfit sizes. After all, we have to try ourselves when buying clothes or shoes. Moreover, if we do not pay attention to the credibility of online stores, we might get cheated. Besides, some shops on the Internet are dishonest and they would not deliver the goods after paying. And if this situation happens, the consumers would find nowhere to complain and never pull out the money any longer. Personal information leakage is another danger. Whenever users purchase a product, they are required to put in their personal information including name, address, telephone number, payment passwords and so on. If the website is not secure, customers’ information can be accessible to anyone who knows how to obtain it.
C：I am agreeing with ‘A’ point, For example, shopping on the internet can save students a great deal of time on the way between home and store，so they would be able to concentrate more time and energy on their academic work. Instead of going one shop to another, people can choose and buy all kinds of commodities they like as long as they click the mouse gently. This is not only a better choice for the old who do not have enough energy to go outside but also a great convenience for those who have no time to go shopping in person. In addition, consumers have more choices and can do some comparison when they are shopping on the Internet. They can glance over various commodities in all shapes, sizes and colors and decided to buy or not. And you need n’t take cash with you, as for me, I don’t like take cash very much. Furthermore, online shopping has made a great contribution to the development of express delivery industry.
D：You say that online shopping can save time; now let us calculate the time for you. Since we decide buy a commodity, we have to squat in front of a computer comparing a shop to another, because different shops have different prices and reputations, and we don’t want to be cheated. This process will cost a lot of time unavoidably. After we have selected one shop, we then have to consult about the item number and bargain with the manager. More seriously, we have to wait for some time lag which is uncertain before the goods arrive. When we wait for the goods, we have to pay attention to the phone from the delivery courier com panies, if we don’t want to miss it. Thus we also have to bear some psychological costs. It also costs time invisibly that we reject the goods which are not satisfying. The quality of goods is uneven，select the satisfying goods what you need waste a lot of time. Thanks to the convenience of online shopping, more and more people are unwilling to go outside, and it is not good for the development of our society.。
