Thats the main reason for the popularity of online shopping. Without physically visiting numerous stores, online shopping saves a lot of energy from testing products and comparing prices.Many online stores make it possible to choose from a big array of potential purchases. A physical store may only provide you with limited options. However, an online counterpart may offer you additional choices of design and color. For example, retail giant Wal-Mart sells their additional items only from their website. Additionally you may find various homemade items online which would be unavailable in physical stores.Shrew shoppers often search for the best price before making the final purchase. Then you can shop online, which offers the item at a lower price.One of the biggest concerns about shopping online is the safety of your personal and financial information.Nowadays many online shops are not legally registered, which leaves the consumers at greater risk of being cheated of their money.Moreover, online shopping makes you unable to actually touch the item or try on the clothes before you buy them. What you see online may not be precisely what you receive. Sometimes, the item cant live up to the expectations you had when you made your online purchase. The color may have slight difference from what you saw on the screen. However, it can reduce the chances of disappointment if you buy items in the physical stores. In addition, in case you are not satisfied with your purchase, its quite troublesome to return the item.Exercise 3Scientists advise people to lead a healthy lifestyle, but most people continue with unhealthy activities.

By checking their homework, the teacher can find out the weakness of the students, and guide them accordingly. Hence the homework can help students learn efficiently.Secondly, sometimes if a student doesnt have the must-do homework, he wont review or preview the lesson willingly because of the lace of motivation.Thirdly, homework can reflect how well the student has mastered the knowledge. On the other hand, the teacher is able to find the problems in his/her teaching, and make corresponding adjustment, either for all the students or for a single one.Many teachers assign homework to students every day. Personally, I think it is not necessary.To begin with, if the teacher doesnt have classes today, there is no need for him/ her to assign homework. Because if the teacher still does, perhaps the students will not have enough time to review other lessons learn the same day.In addition, every student has his/ her right to won leisure time. They are not machines. So it will be good for students physical and mental health if teachers allow students to have some spare time.Lastly, assigning homework every day is not a scientific way of teaching and studying. It can make students lose interest in studying.Exercise 5It is estimated that only 40 percent of migrant children between five and twelve attend school in Beijing, while in some migrant communities in Shanghai, only 20 to 30 percent of children go to school.

There is no need to worry about whether our traditional culture will be lost. It is an important heritage of the whole human race, which will exist forever.First, traditional festivals remind us of the traditional culture. Our belief in the traditional culture gets ready to revive at any time.Moreover, we have taken active measures to conserve the traditional cultures on decline. Many volunteers have contributed themselves to studying and spreading them. Besides, more and more people have realized the importance of the traditional culture, and they begin to voluntarily protect it.Our culture changes itself to cater to people nowadays. We hold some modern activities to meet the societys needs. Though the appearance of traditional cultures changes, the essence will never change.The information revolution, the development of mass media and the advanced technology have doubtlessly influenced the traditional culture. People get so used to such a modern society that many traditional things have been neglected and abandoned. Therefore, I believe that the traditional culture will gradually get lost.First, the traditional culture is hindering the development of new science which is beneficial to the whole society.In addition, the government spent a huge sum of money to rebuild or restore the ancient buildings just for commemoration, taking no account of practicability.Lastly, nowadays people prefer the modern science and the advanced technology with the wholesome education system to the ancient ways, which speeds up the loss of the traditional culture.Exercise 7According to a survey, more than two thirds of people in China agree that the public morality level is lower than before.

Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Self-employed Working for someone elseNowadays more and more students choose to be self-employed after graduation. As far as I am concerned, I prefer to be self-employed.I can lead a more free-style life. I can do things on my own will. Moreover, I can decide how to do things; whereas those who are employed by others must do things according to the instructions of their employers.I can allocate my time freely. Hence, if I am tired, I can rest in the daytime; If I am more energetic, I can work late at night. I have more freedom on the choice of work time than those who work for others.Self-employment makes me depend on myself. I have to push myself to learn more and to work harder. I am the master of myself.Being an employee, I have to be subject to discipline, and do things under the instructions of my boss, but thats just part of life. I would rather work for someone else than be self-employed. I just want to lead a simple and regular life.When you work for yourself, you have to earn more money to end up with the same take-home paycheck youd get as a company employee. Thats much pressure for me.In addition, besides work, I can still have free time to do the things I enjoy doing, and dont need to think about the work all the time.I dont like a complicated life. I havent much ambition either in my life or in my career. I dream of living an easy life, a regular life with discipline, without much risk.Exercise 9Every year, millions of college students will sit for the post-graduate entrance examination.

Hence the best way of communication is face-to-face communication.Face-to-face communication could make people know the actual personality of the other party directly, avoiding being deceived by others.We always judge one person through the first impression. Through face-to-face communication, people will make the evaluation more credible. Take the interview for example, the interviewer would evaluate the interviewee not only from the answers but also from his behavior and attitude and so on.Face-to-face communication involves not only verbal expression but also the non-verbal expression, such as touch and eye contact, which can enhance the relationship.Modern communicational technologies such as telephone, emails, WeChat or QQ, tie people together. Today we are connected with other people in a way we never have been before.For those who are far away from each other, they can converse as if they were in the same room with modern communicational technologies. This improves communication efficiency.Lots of international businesses are so dependent on modern communicational technologies that they would be impossible to run or much less efficient without them.The indirect communication can sometimes avoid embarrassment. For example, the interviewer can notify the interviewee of his failure in the interview through telephone calls or emails.Exercise 12Prog
