ONLINE SHOPPING

My name is Sara, and I love shopping online. I prefer mobile phone apps, but sometimes
I use my computer. The phone is more convenient for me, and I can even do my shopping from
bed!

I love shopping so much that I buy everything I need at home. I get food, electronics,
books, and even large pieces of furniture like my sofa and bookshelves all online! But I still
prefer getting clothes from a store so I can try them on to be sure they fit me fine.

Yesterday, I bought a birthday present for my mother, and it arrived today! That saves me
a lot of time. I am a very busy person, and I am a little forgetful too. If I think of something I
need, then it is wonderful that I can buy it at that moment.

My friends aren’t as comfortable with buying things online as I am because they think
that it can be dangerous. Of course, bad things sometimes happen, but I am very careful with all
of my personal details. I think the biggest fear that people have with using their credit cards
online is that someone will steal their number. It is important to be sure that the web page is
secure. You can see this if the address has got an “s” in it, like https://. That “s” means it is safe.

PART 3: WRITING
Write an informal email with 150 WORDS to tell a friend about your last vacation.
From: nguyenbaohan1104@gmail.com.
To: nannonakha@gmail.com.
Subject: my last vacation.

Hi Nanno,
How are you doing? Thank you for your wonderful gift. I think you got an enjoyable vacation,
didn’t you? And I’d like to tell you about my last summer holiday.
I spent time with my friends in Bangkok for a week. The most memorable thing is that we
went to EXO’s concert “The Elyxion”. I was really really excited ‘cause it’s the first time I’ve
met my “oppas”=)). We had a two-hour flight from Noi Bai to Suvarnabumni Airport with
Vietjet Air. The weather was so great. We love the food so much and all decided to go back to
Bangkok one day.

 About “The Elyxion”, although Impact - Muang Thong Thani stadium was extra large for such
a concert, on the concert day it was jam-packed with the audience and it was difficult for me to
stand at the entrance queue with the expanding crowd. However, I truly enjoyed the live
performances and I realized a fact that EXO is even more handsome if you meet them in real
life^^
After the 3-day concert, we visited some famous places such as: Grand Palace, Siam Square,
Dream World,.. and took many photos.
I hope that we can travel together next time, maybe to Seoul, Chiangmai or Tokyo. Look
forward to your reply.
Love,
Han.
