Appendix 9

These days, it seems like
everything is going digital. From news articles and recipes to yoga
tutorials, you can find almost everything on the
internet.
Many people find this way of
life more convenient, because they can complete their daily chores
from the comfort of their own home. I think that’s why some people
like to shop for their clothes online. With the click of a button,
you can order anything you want, and have it delivered directly to
your front door. For someone with a busy lifestyle, this seems
ideal.
Firstly, online shopping can
be far less stressful than hitting the high street shops. There are
no huge crowds of people or tediously long queues. With online
shopping, it’s just you and your computer. It’s like you have the
whole shop to yourself! Secondly, online stores don’t have
opening and closing times. This is perfect for anyone with a busy
schedule – like office workers who work long hours, or
teenagers with several hobbies to squeeze into the weekend. If you
want to, you can even place an online shopping order at three
o’clock in the morning!
In the bustling modern world,
there are clearly many advantages to online shopping. However, in
my experience, there are also several cons … With online
shopping, you can’t try before you buy, and that’s a definite
disadvantage for me. Often, when my new clothes arrive, I find they
don’t fit very well. It’s always annoying when a dress is a little
too big, or when sleeves are awkwardly short … Sometimes, the
clothes are not what I was expecting. A piece of clothing might
look great in photos online, but quite different in real life. A
blue jumper might turn out to be green, whilst other times the
material of a blouse will feel cheap and
scratchy.
In these scenarios, you want
to return the item, but here lies the biggest problem with online
shopping. You have to pay for your order’s delivery, and for an
item to be returned to the warehouse! These charges are often very
expensive, which suddenly makes online shopping seem a little less
convenient…That’s why I don’t choose to shop online very
frequently. For now, I will continue to find the time for a trip to
a real shop, where I know exactly what I’m
buying!
