Electronic commerce, or e-commerce, is the process of buying and selling goods on the internet. To do this, you obviously need access to a computer, but you also need a bank account and a credit or debit card. Online shopping is becoming more and more popular. Most of the large chain stores that you find in towns and cities across the country also have a website where you can shop online. However, some shops actually only exist online.
Advantages
Online shopping is very convenient. You can shop at your leisure in the comfort of your own home at whatever time of day or night. Websites don’t close!
You can often get value for money. There are price comparison websites that show the shops that sell a certain product and the different prices. By comparing prices, you can get the best deal.
You can return the goods you ordered if you don’t like them or if they don’t fit, but you usually have to pay to post them.
Disadvantages
There is the opportunity for identity theft. Computer hackers can gain access to your personal details and your credit card number, and then steal
your identity.
You can only see photos of the product. You can’t see or touch the product before you buy it so the quality might not be as good as you expect. In some cases, a designer product might actually be a fake.
1. You can return the goods you ordered if you don’t like them or if they don’t fit although you have to pay to post them.
2. You can shop from the comfort of your own home. In addition the online shops don’t close!
3.You can only see photos of the product, However, you can’t see or touch the product before you buy it.
4.To do this, you obviously need access to a computer. Furthermore, you also need a bank account and a credit or debit card.

MAKING FRIENDS
Objective : conditional type 2
The type 2 conditional refers to an unlikely or hypothetical condition and its probable result. These sentences are not based on the actual situation. In type 2 conditional sentences, the time is now or any time and the situation is hypothetical.
If clause (condition) | Main clause (result) |
---|---|
If + simple past | would + V1 |
If this thing happened | that thing would happen. |
As in all conditional sentences, the order of the clauses is not fixed. You may have to rearrange the pronouns and adjust punctuation when you change the order of the clauses, but the meaning is identical.
