We can see from the picture that while some people prefer to shop online, others are in favor
of the traditional shopping. With the advancements of technology, the number of people
shopping on the websites is increasing across the globe. Traditional shopping is now faced
with more and more challenges. Online shopping allows all groups of consumers to buy any
kinds of items or products, regardless of the time and place. What’s more, the consumer
does not have to leave home to purchase the merchandise, item, or product that he wants. In
comparison, traditional shopping provides the real space for the consumer so that they are
able to physically check out and even try out the merchandise that he wants. No matter what
type of shopping people choose, the most important is that they should always be able to
find the product or service that suits them most.

The picture shows that the girl is addicted to shopping. With the development of e-commerce,
shopping online becomes a popular lifestyle. Many citizens are likely to shop on the Internet
nowadays. As far as we know, one card has two sides. On the one hand, it is convenient for us
to shop online in our daily life. However, on the other hand, many people have been addicted
to online shopping, which I think is dangerous. Shopping addiction causes problems. It wastes
not only time but also money, which you could have spent on something more important,
such as studying, keeping fit, hanging out with friends, etc. There are some solutions to
shopping addiction. First, you can pay by cash. Second, you can make a shopping list and only
buy what’s on the list. Third, you should stop using credit card.
