回頭談網上購物。其好處當然很多，比如便捷、節約時間、價格便宜，但壞處也是顯而易見的，比如看不見實物因此可能買到不適合自己的東西、沒有了一家人去商店購物的那種樂趣、網絡欺詐等。總體來說，雖然我們不一定要依賴網上購物，但網上購物的確給我們購物提供了一種可以選擇的方式。
老師筆記

Shopping at home used to be a dream of ours, but now it has become a reality in our life thanks to the rapid development of the Internet. Many people today prefer online shopping rather than going to stores.

(2)reality 現實
(3)er than... 寧願......而不是......
02
Online shopping has many advantages, especially when it is compared with the store shopping. Sitting comfortably at home, no matter how terrible the weather outside might be, and with a few simple clicks on our computer or smart phone screen, we can order almost everything we need from clothes to books and from electric appliances to air tickets. Then what we have to do is wait one or two days for the delivery of your order. The whole process is really easy and simple and thus can save us a lot of time, not to mention the reduced prices we often enjoy when we shop online.
網上購物有許多優點，尤其是當它與商店購物相比較時。舒舒服服地坐在家裏，不管外面的天氣有多糟糕，只要簡單地在電腦或智能手機屏幕上敲幾下，我們就可以買到我們需要的任何東西，從衣服到書籍，從電器到機票，然後我們要做的就是等一兩天後訂單交付。整個過程非常簡單容易，因此可以節省我們很多時間，更不用說我們網上購物時還經常享受到降價。
解析
(1)本段論述網上購物的好處，主要論述其簡單容易，節約時間。
(2) click 敲(鍵盤)
(3) appliances 器具(尤其是電器)
(4) delivery 交付，發送
(5) process 過程
(6) not to mention... 更不用提......
03
Yet online shopping may create problems, too. First, as we cannot see the transaction going on with our own eyes, we may likely buy something that does not really suit us. We often hear our friends complain that they have to alter their expensive clothes bought online because it is too long or too short. To make it worse, to return our buy and get a different one is always a long and complicated process, which means we will lose the time we have gained from the online shopping. Secondly, unlike the store shopping, online shopping deprives us of the opportunities to spend a quality time together with our family members. I can still remember the excitement when my parents decided to take me to the Supermarket to do the weekend shopping.
然而網上購物也可能帶來問題。首先，由於我們不能親眼看到交易的進行，我們可能會買一些不適合我們的東西。我們經常聽到朋友抱怨他們不得不改變他們在網上購買的昂貴的衣服，因爲它們過長或過短。更糟糕的是，退貨換貨是一個長期而複雜的過程，這意味着我們將失去我們在網上購物節約下來的時間。其次，與商店購物不同的是，網上購物剝奪了我們與家人共度一段美好時光的機會。我還記得以前父母決定帶我去超市週末購物時的興奮心情。
解析
(1)本段論述網上購物可能帶來的壞處。首先是可能買到不喜歡的商品，其次是網絡購物讓我們享受不到一家人外出購物的樂趣。
(2) transaction 交易
(3) alter 改變
(4) buy (n.)所購買的東西
(5) deprive somebody of... 剝奪某人某物
04
To sum up, the Internet does provide us with a new and convenient way of shopping, but we should not completely rely on it. We may opt for online shopping when it is necessary, yet I believe the brick and mortar stores will never be replaced by online stores because of the unique shopping experience they offer us.
總之，互聯網確實給我們提供了一種新的、便捷的購物方式，但我們不應該完全依靠它。如果有必要，我們可以選擇網上購物，但我相信實體商店能夠給我們提供獨特的購物體驗，因此永遠不會被網上商店取代。
解析
(1)本段爲結尾段，提出自己的觀點：網上購物是一種新的選擇，但商店購物可能永遠也不會消失。
(2)provide 提供
(3)brick and mortar store 實體商店
(4)unique 獨特的
