Online shopping is buying a product or service over the Internet.
Online shopping is easy. You visit a seller's website, select the product
you want to buy, and order it. You can pay online or when you get the
product. Online shopping is convenient with Internet access. You can
purchase anything at any time, from anywhere. It could be a meal, a
gift for a friend, or even an English course. You can save the trouble
of traveling time and money. However, shopping online has
disadvantages too. Firstly, the products you receive are sometimes
not exactly what you expect. Secondly, when you are not happy with
the product, you can return it but you have to pay for the shipping.
Thirdly, you can easily become a shopaholic because it is easy and
there are many products to choose from, you may find it hard to stop
yourself from over shopping. You may even buy things you don't really
need.

Sample writing:

I often go shopping at the open-air market near my house. However,
there are some things I don't like about it. First, it is outdoor. On rainy or

a higher price than the value of the goods and you have to bargain. It's not
