Shopping Then and Now: Three Ways Shopping Has Changed

People nowadays don’t see a distinction between online and offline shopping. Whether it’s
searching on a
laptop or smartphone, browsing street shops, or hanging out at the mall, it’s all shopping. To
adapt to the
competitive new reality, store owners are relying more and more on digital technology.
1. Shoppers know as much as salespeople.
Then: People came into stores with little to no knowledge and depended on a salesperson to give
them
advice on what to buy.
Now: Shoppers today are used to doing their own research online to get the maximum value out
of every
dollar they spend. This way they feel secure about what they are buying.
2. Mobile devices and apps make shopping easier.
Then: Finding the right store and the products a shopper needed depended on expertise and luck.
Now: Retailers are using apps nowadays to let the customers know they exist. The app can be a
map, a
shopping list, a salesperson, and a product finder all in one.
3. Opinions are more important than ever.
Then: Back in the day, word of mouth was a way of transforming new products into must-haves
and small
shops into big department stores.
Now: With social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Google Plus, people are now sharing
their opinions on
products not just with a group of friends, but with millions of people.
These are just three of the many ways shopping has changed today. When these things are used
well,
customers can rely on them to get just what they are looking for.

V. Read the text and answer the questions.

You can ski really well and you can climb a mountain easily. But, can you
survive an avalanche? Avalanches are when snow suddenly falls down a
mountain. Hundreds of people die in avalanches each year. People usually
start them by accident when they are skiing or climbing mountains.
There are some things you can do to survive an avalanche. First, always check
the weather carefully before you go to the mountains and take rescue signals
or transmitters. They help people to know where you are. Also, always let
someone know exactly where you’re going to go and when you plan to return.
Plan your route carefully and avoid dangerous areas.

When the avalanche comes, you can’t talk about what to do. There’s no time. When the
avalanche begins,
the first thing to do is to leave all your things as fast as you can. Skis or a big, heavy bag can pull
you down under the snow. Next, move your hands, arms, and legs and start
“swimming”. You do this to stay above the snow. If possible jump to one side
to escape the avalanche. And when the avalanche comes, close your mouth.
Snow can get quickly in your mouth and stop you from getting air.
If the snow covers you, make a space in front of your mouth immediately so
you can breathe. If you can, put your arms up above the snow to show people
where you are. If you can’t, wait calmly and patiently. Don’t shout and don’t
panic. Remember, people can’t hear you when you’re under the snow.
