Some people say that the main environmental problem of our time is the loss of particular species of plants and animals. Others say that there are more important environmental problems. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In today’s modern society, online shopping becomes one of the best ways for many
people
who don’t have enough time to go out for shopping days. To some, shopping online has many detrimental effects on society. Personally, I think there are too many drawbacks that online shopping brings to our life.
First
of all, it is understandable that shopping online will bring a lot of negative effects, because it is destroying the city that depends on the majority of purchasing goods. Meanwhile, should online shopping become more popular, many stores will not have enough ability to pay for their employees.
This
problem will raise the percentage of unemployment in many countries. Bookshops in many high streets in the UK,
for example
, can be closed because of the raising in the number of
people
buying books on the internet
instead
of going to the bookstore. Not only the bookstores but
also
many offline shops can be closed by the influence of online shopping.
Besides
that, when society has more and more sophisticated tricks, many fake items can be purchased by many
people
. The big effect of fake items is many companies can go bankrupt and as a consequence, the economy of one country can be declined. Another reason is that online shopping will make many
people
become lazier because of depending too much on the internet.
For instance
, should
people
want to purchase something, they will just need to open some apps
such
as Shopee, Amazon,….to buy the things they want.
Besides
that, it is not good for human health, especially for the
people
who have to work full time in the office and do not have enough time to do fitness.
For example
, the more
people
go out shopping, the more opportunities to work out some activities to maintain flexibility. Online shopping can be an opportunity for
people
to reduce the calories that they absorbed from their meals. In conclusion, with the development of technology, there are many ways for
people
to purchase things they want, but, overall, I think, the impact of online shopping is negative, especially for the economy of the country.
