Band 7.5

In recent years, many small local shops have closed because customers travel to large shopping centres or smalls to do their shopping. Is this a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, it is more common for
people
 to
purchase
 items, from groceries to make-up
products
, in large shopping malls than in small-scale shops. In
this
 situation, many of it is have a hard
time
 either bankrupt or even closing. From my perspective, I think it is beneficial to progress for
consumers
.
To begin
 with, it is more convenient for
people
 to buy things in a big shopping mall. For
consumers
, it can save a lot of
time
 because large-scale malls are normally placed many kinds of
products
 and brands for
people
 to select in one area. Take me as an example. I would rather spend my
time
 studying or working than shopping. Convenience is the thing I value the most. if I can
purchase
 supplies for my daily life at one-stop shops, large shopping centres are the best choice for me.
Secondly
,
consumers
 can
purchase
 low-price
products
 in large chain stores since a large company can
purchase
 a lot of cargo to sell at the same
time
.
This
 means

people
 may buy more items than expected with every coin.
On the contrary
, small neighbourhood stores sell higher prices of goods.
That is
 the reason why small retailers are becoming fewer because they do not have a competitive price.
For example
, Carrefour, a chain store in Taiwan, provide
products
 that are not only high-quality but
also
 inexpensive.
To sum up
, from the reasons mentioned above, I believed that even small retailers are faced with an uncompetitive situation. But it is still positive progress for
consumers
 buying things in big retailers.
