May: Aunt Cindy, do you shop online often?
Cindy: Yes. It’s very convenient and the price is even lower.
May: Last week, I tried to buy some books online, but I didn’t know how to pay for them?
Cindy: You should open an account at the online bank first. After that, you can buy anything online.
May: Are there many things online?
Cindy: Sure. You can find everything all over the world. Let’s check it out online!
(They log in a shopping web site.)
May: Oh, what’s this? Second-hand cellphone store?
Cindy: Yeah, this one is very famous with a good credit among on-line customers. It’s like an open free market. If you want to change your cellphone for a new one, you can sell the old one here.
May: Really? How to do that?
Cindy: Take some pictures of the thing you want to sell, then upload it onto line with a brief description about it and leave your connecting number. Then your stuff will be sold by auction.
May: That’s amazing. I’d love to try it later. Oh, an on-line virtual supermarket?
Cindy: Let’s click to check it out.
May: Oh, I got it. It simulates the real supermarket, which makes it feel so real. Mom will love it. She loves shopping in supermarkets.
Cindy: No doubt about it. Shopping online will get more and more popular. It’s a real revolution about people’s consuming habits.
May: Are there any disadvantages about it?
Cindy: It takes some time for the stuff you buy online to arrive. But I think this problem will be solved soon.

阿美: 辛迪阿姨，你經(jīng)常在網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物嗎?
辛迪: 是啊。這很方便而且價(jià)格還更加便宜呢。
阿美: 上周，我試著在網(wǎng)上買(mǎi)幾本書(shū)，卻不知道該怎么付錢(qián)。
辛迪: 你得先在網(wǎng)上銀行開(kāi)一個(gè)賬戶(hù)。然后，你就可以上網(wǎng)買(mǎi)東西了。
阿美: 網(wǎng)上的商品多嗎?
辛迪: 當(dāng)然了。你能買(mǎi)到全世界所有的東西。我們來(lái)上網(wǎng)看看吧。
(她們點(diǎn)進(jìn)了一個(gè)購(gòu)物網(wǎng)站。)
阿美: 哦，這是什么?二手手機(jī)商店?
辛迪: 是啊，這家店很有名，它在網(wǎng)上顧客中有很好聲譽(yù)。它就像是一個(gè)開(kāi)放的市場(chǎng)。如果你想換一個(gè)新的手機(jī)，你可以到這里來(lái)把你的舊手機(jī)賣(mài)掉。
阿美: 真的嗎?怎么賣(mài)呢?
辛迪: 先給你要賣(mài)的東西拍幾張照片，把照片上傳到網(wǎng)上，再附上物品的簡(jiǎn)要說(shuō)明和你的聯(lián)系方式，這樣你的東西就會(huì)按照拍賣(mài)的方式在這里出售了。
阿美: 這真是太棒了。我以后一定要試一試。哦，有個(gè)網(wǎng)上虛擬超市?
辛迪: 我們點(diǎn)擊進(jìn)去看看。
阿美: 哦，明白了。它是仿照了真的超市，這使它像真的一樣。我媽媽會(huì)很喜歡的。她最?lèi)?ài)逛超市了。
辛迪: 毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)。網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物會(huì)越來(lái)越流行的。這是人們消費(fèi)習(xí)慣上的一場(chǎng)真正的革命。
阿美: 那它有什么不足呢?
辛迪: 你在網(wǎng)上買(mǎi)的東西需要一點(diǎn)時(shí)間才能到你手中。不過(guò)我想這個(gè)問(wèn)題很快就會(huì)被解決的。
經(jīng)典背誦 Recitation
Cindy: I like shopping online largely because it’s very convenient and the price can even be lower. Moreover, there are many secondhand stores online too. So you can even sell your own stuff too. The only problem is that it takes some time for the stuff you buy online to arrive. But it’s for sure that this problem will be solved soon. So there is no doubt that shopping online will get more and more popular in the future.
