In some countries, online shopping is replacing shopping in stores. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

#countries #stores #development
Thanks to technical development, daily more and more
people
 buy goods from the Internet
instead
 of going to physical stores.
However
, I believe that
this
 trend can be both positive and negative. On the one hand, shopping online brings some benefits for
customers
. First and foremost,
this
 kind of purchase offers convenience to buyers.
Customers
 can easily select any items from their comfortable homes, or workplaces and it is
also
 not complicated to cancel transactions for a particular item if they chose the wrong
product
 or wanted to change to another one.
Consequently
,
this
 satisfaction shopping gives more
time
 for
people
 who can manage
time
 for shopping and
time
 for other life activities.
Secondly
, online buying helps
customers
 the ability to compare styles and prices of
products
. The selling companies manifest the arrangement of
products
 online,

online will help

 multichoice after comparing prices and the features of
products
.
For instance
,
customers
 from Vietnam in Asia can have a look at a
product
 online in the American market with a distance far around half of the earth.
On the other hand
, faulty
products
 and delayed transportation are negative of shopping through the Internet. It cannot be denied that many websites show many attractive goods to draw attention from
people
 and
then
 sell fake
products
. In
this
 way, the
customers
 hardly return those faulty
products
.
As a result
,
people
 can be ruined the experience of shopping in general. Another negative aspect of internet buying is a delay in delivery. Unlike traditional marketplaces where buyers can receive the selected
products
 at the same
time
 they paid, online
customers
 cannot.
Due to
 the distance and policy shipping,
customers
 can wait a period
time
 longer than they are expecting. Especially, if they want to buy a
product
 at a certain
time
, it is hard to tell if
this
product
 will come in
time
. In conclusion, though online shopping is increasing
due to
 the many benefits it offers for
customers
 in modern life ,
however

 physical stores are still secure places for buyers to bring a good experience shopping atmosphere.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
