【參考範文】
Nowadays, can we find a person who has not heard of online shopping? It may be a little difficult. Online shopping is coming into fashion in most cities due to the rapid development of Internet technology.
Online shopping is welcomed by the majority of people owing to its obvious advantages: it’s convenient and people can do it 24 hours. You can shop whenever you want——if you want to buy a mobile phone at 2 a.m., you can. Unfortunately, shopping online has its own disadvantages too: you can’t touch the item, let alone try it on. The material of the dress that you see on the screen may be flimsier than what you had expected, and it will probably look much better on the model than it does on you.
Personally, I find buying online to be an excellent way to shop for certain items. Nevertheless, for other items, such as clothes, I reckon it is better to shop at a regular store. In a regular store, you can see the real color, feel the material, and try it on.
【參考譯文】
現在，我們能夠找到從未聽說過網上購物的人嗎?恐怕有點困難。由於網際網路技術的飛速發展，網購在大多數城市都已成為時尚。
由於網購具有的'明顯優勢，即其方便性以及隨時性，大多數人都喜歡網購。只要喜歡，你可以隨時購物——如果你想半夜兩點買部手機，沒問題。然而，網購也有其缺點：你無法接觸商品，更別說試穿了。你在螢幕上看到的衣服材料可能比你預期的要更薄，而且很可能穿在模特身上比你更好看。
個人而言，我認為網購對於購買某些商品是一種很好的方式。然而，對於諸如服裝等其他商品，我認為最好在傳統商店購買。在傳統商店，你可以看到真正的顏色，感覺面料，並且試穿。
