Shopping Online VS Shopping In-Store
With the arrival of digital age, shopping online is becoming more and more popular, especially among young people. 1
As far as I can see, there are some advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. 2 On the one hand 3 , it has some great advantages, of which the most important one is convenience. The goods come in all shapes, sizes, and colors on the Internet, and all people need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mouse. Besides, online goods are really cheap and help save much money sometimes, especially during holidays. On the other hand 3 , the disadvantages of shopping online cannot be ignored. The real goods may not be the same as what they look like online. To make matters worse, we are likely to buy some fake goods since some shops on the Internet are not formally registered.
Personally, I prefer shopping in-store to shopping online. 4 The most important reason is that I can have a leisure time and enjoy myself most when I go shopping with the company of my friends. In the meanwhile, I can feel and try on anything I want to buy and see the effect of clothing worn on my body in physical clothes stores.
網上購物VS實體店購物
隨著數(shù)字化時代的到來,網上購物越來越受歡迎,尤其是受到年輕人的青睞。
據(jù)我了解,網購既有利也有弊。一方面,網購有一些巨大優(yōu)勢,其中最大的好處在于方便。人們只需要坐在電腦前,點一下鼠標,就能從網上買到各種形狀、不同尺寸和顏色的商品。其次,網上商品有時候確實很便宜,能省很多錢,尤其是在節(jié)假日期間。而另一方面,網上購物的弊端也不容忽視。實際商品有可能與網上展示的商品不符。更糟糕的是,由于有些網上商店可能不是正規(guī)注冊的,這就使得我們有可能買到一些假貨。
就我而言,比起網上購物,我更喜歡到實體店購物。最重要的原因是我可以和朋友們一起購物、休閑,這種時候是最讓人心情放松的。還有,當我到實體服裝店購物時,我可以觸摸并試穿,還能看到效果。

句法點評
1. To make matters worse, we are likely to buy some fake goods since some shops on the Internet are not formally registered.
這句話中使用了to make matters worse這個不定式短語,表示“更糟糕的是”,同時還使用了be likely to這個短語,意為“有可能……”。
2. The most important reason is that I can have a leisure time and enjoy myself most when I go shopping with the company of my friends.
本句是表達“最重要的原因是……”的常用句式;with the company of意為“在……的陪伴下”。
