V Writing （20 points）

Directions: For this section, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a short composition on the topic shopping Online. You should write your composition in about 100 words, and base it on the points suggested (given in Chinese) below.

(1) 越来越多的人喜欢网上购物 (2) 请说说你对网购的看法 答：

Just as its name implies, online shopping is to conduct the shopping activities online.With the development of Internet and electronic commerce,it seems to be gaining in popularity.Online shopping is accessible round the clock and it makes the world's marketplace at your fingertips. It is so convenience that you can buy whatever you want even at 3 a.m. in the morning; you can choose from a wider variety of things available for you to shop which may not be available in the local brick and mortar stores.What's more,it's always cheaper for you.However,given the lack of ability to inspect merchandise before purchase, consumers are at higher risk of fraud on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. So,when shopping online,we have to choose goods with care.But all in all, I would say its advantages outweigh its disadvantages.
