Cindy: Yes. It's very convenient and the price is even lower.
May: Last week, I tried to buy some books online, but I didn't know how to pay for them?
Cindy: You should open an account at the online bank first. After that, you can buy anything online.
May: Are there many things online?
Cindy: Sure. You can find everything all over the world. Let's check it out online!
(They log in a shopping web site.)
May: Oh, what's this? Second-hand cellphone store?
Cindy: Yeah, this one is very faMous with a good credit among on-line customers. It's like an open free market. If you want to change your cellphone for a new one, you can sell the old one here.
May: Really? How to do that?
Cindy: Take some pictures of the thing you want to sell, then upload it onto line with a brief description about it and leave your connecting number. Then your stuff will be sold by auction.
May: That's amazing. I'd love to try it later. Oh, an on-line virtual supermarket?
Cindy: Let's click to check it out.
May: Oh, I got it. It simulates the real supermarket, which makes it feel so real. Mom will love it. She loves shopping in supermarkets.
Cindy: No doubt about it. Shopping online will get more and more popular. It's a real revolution about people's consuming habits.
May: Are there any disadvantages about it?
Cindy: It takes some time for the stuff you buy online to arrive. But I think this problem will be solved soon.

阿美: 辛迪阿姨，你經常在網上購物嗎？
辛迪: 是啊。這很方便而且價格還更加便宜呢。
阿美: 上週，我試着在網上買幾本書，卻不知道該怎麼付錢。
辛迪: 你得先在網上銀行開一個賬戶。然後，你就可以上網買東西了。
阿美: 網上的商品多嗎？
辛迪: 當然了。你能買到全世界所有的東西。我們來上網看看吧。
（她們點進了一個購物網站。）
阿美: 哦，這是什麼？二手手機商店？
辛迪: 是啊，這家店很有名，它在網上顧客中有很好聲譽。它就像是一個開放的市場。如果你想換一個新的手機，你可以到這裏來把你的舊手機賣掉。
阿美: 真的嗎？怎麼賣呢？
辛迪: 先給你要賣的東西拍幾張照片，把照片上傳到網上，再附上物品的簡要說明和你的聯繫方式，這樣你的東西就會按照拍賣的方式在這裏出售了。
阿美: 這真是太棒了。我以後一定要試一試。哦，有個網上虛擬超市？
辛迪: 我們點擊進去看看。
阿美: 哦，明白了。它是仿照了真的超市，這使它像真的一樣。我媽媽會很喜歡的。她最愛逛超市了。
辛迪: 毫無疑問。網上購物會越來越流行的。這是人們消費習慣上的一場真正的革命。
阿美: 那它有什麼不足呢？
辛迪: 你在網上買的東西需要一點時間才能到你手中。不過我想這個問題很快就會被解決的。
