With the development of the Internet, many people like shopping online. There is no doubt that it's very convenient for us, because we can save more time and easily compare different stores and find out. However, I prefer shopping in the real store because there is a certain risk of online shopping.

Real stores allow us to see the quality of goods, but with online shopping we can only see the picture and sometimes the entity is actually inconsistent with the pictures. I have many friends who like to shop at Taobao, and they are always disappointed with the goods. Take my friend Amy as an example. She likes shopping on the Internet and once she bought clothes at Taobao, but she found the quality of the clothes was poor and didn’t match with the description online. Although she could return goods to the seller, she had to pay the postage again. By contrast, we can try on clothes in real stores and if the clothes are suitable for us, we can get them immediately.

If we shop in the real store, we have more time to communicate with our friends and we can discuss with our partner the product we want to buy. According to a survey, more than seventy percent of people think that shopping in the real store is more fun than online shopping. I have the same idea too and I like going out to buy something I want with friends and we sometimes have fun bargaining with sellers. And these are not the experiences we can get from online shopping.

Nowadays, shopping online is popular, but the stealing of online bank account numbers is a serious problem. Many people were cheated when shopping online, because the Web is virtual and people don’t know who they are dealing with. Online shopping can easily leak privacy because we have to leave our name, address and the phone number to ensure the delivery of our goods. Therefore, we should be more careful when shopping online.

Shopping online is convenient for us, but there is the risk of exposing our personal information and we may not get the product as we expect. Therefore, I prefer shopping in the real stores.
