Part 3
You are going to read an extract from a short story.
Answer the questions follow. For questions 19 to 26, choose the correct answer (A, @ B, C or D) and
write your answer in the answer sheet.

Online shopping is great to find that one item you have been looking for forever. But you can be
let down by mismatching product descriptions and images. This year, I had a very specific product in
mind for my friend’s birthday gift. She had been talking about this product for a year and I wanted to
amaze her by getting the exact thing she wanted.

I had a photo of the model that he wanted, but I didn’t know which store would have it. So, two
weeks before her birthday, I went online to find it rather than wasting a lot of time walking from store to
store without guarantee of finding it.

After some time searching, I found something similar to what I had been looking for. The problem
was that there was a labeling mismatch: the product image was different to the product description, and
the headline description also did not match. But I took the gamble and ordered it.

5
 Unfortunately, the problems continued after I placed the order. I did not receive any shipping
order updates, so I didn’t know if it would arrive in two days or two weeks. It was incredibly frustrating,
not least because it was a birthday gift and I didn’t know if it was going to be delivered on time! There
was a tracking number, but it linked out.

I was completely let down by the whole experience. Statistics show that consumers choose
websites with enhanced delivery options, and lose trust in the retailer when delivery expectations are
not met.

When the item arrived, it was different to what I had expected. The label on the packaging was
different to the title on the product page. This made me incredibly frustrated as a customer. At the same
time, I had no time to go to shops as I had to complete my science project with the other classmates at
school. I was very worried as I might not have the chance to find the similar product before her birthday.

What were my options? Should I email and get a refund, and explain to my friend why I do not
have a birthday gift for her this year, or do I accept what has happened and give the item to her even
though it is not what she wanted? Well, after thinking for a while I decided to choose the first option.

19. From paragraph 1, what are the drawbacks of online shopping?

A You would receive the item late

B The product could be broken
C The online shopping is very expensive
D Mismatching product descriptions and images

20. From paragraph 2, we know that

A the writer wanted to surprise his friend.

B the product is very hard to get.

A The writer knew the model of the product

B The writer went to several stores to find the product
C The writer searched the product through online
D The writer didn’t want to waste his time to go to stores
22 From paragraph 4, the phrase ‘I took the gamble’ explains that the writer is

A. a responsible person.
B. a brave person
C. a risk-taker person
D. a tough person

23. Why do you think the writer placed the order even he noticed the problems?

A. He wanted the product to arrive before his friend’s birthday.

B. He didn’t have a lot of time to find the product.
C. The product was very cheap on online.
D. The product could only be purchased through online.

26 In last paragraph, the writer chose to

B. explain to his friend about the issue
C. give the items to his friend
D. email and get a refund

Computer or Consoles Games

Hi, Confuse gamer!

You want to know which is better?a computer game or a consoles game.That is a great question!Both have their
pros and cons, so let’s look at the main factors to help you make your choice.

The first point to consider is the cost of the games. 27_____ And the reason for this is

7
That online games stores have to compete for your money so they will offer lower prices.Meanwhile, the console game
universe is a closed platform. In addition, a game publisher often gives a big discount to older games while some give them
away in order to create interest in newer versions of the games.

Having said that, there is a wider range of games available on a computer than on a console.Besides the large
number,some games are exclusive to computers. For example, ‘League of Legends’ and ‘World of Warcraft’ are games you
will never be able to play on a console.28________

Another factor in favour of computer gaming is its hardware.29_____This translates to better graphics settings and
smoother play than a console. But a gaming computer hardware doesn’t come cheap!For example, a gaming computer that
offers the same quality as a console game,costs double,

Seasoned gamers I have spoken to say that playing using a keyboard and a mouse increases the speed,control and
accuracy.30______

Playing computer games is cost effective too.In order to play a multi-player game on a console, you have to play a
yearly membership fee.The fee may be low but in the long run, you will spending a lot of money. 31_______

On the other hand, it is easy to use a console and you can sit comfortably on a sofa to do it.32______ In addition, it
is also set up for multi-player games so you can easily play with your friends. I hope these points will help ease your
decision process.

Yours sincerely
