Writing (15) 审题思路 这是一篇观点选择性文章。题目是一个问句，所以对该问题的回答即是全文主旨，之后就该主旨展开论述。首段可直接点明是选择传统的购物方式，还是网上购物这种新方式，之后要展开说明为什么做出如此选择，即说明所选择的购物方式的好处，可以列出两至三条理由进行论证，支持自己的论点。第三部分是结论部分，可以对前文进行归纳总结，也可以简要概述没选择另外一种购物方式的好处，说明自己选择一种并不是否定另一种，只是个人喜好而已。Which to Choose: Traditional Shopping or Online Shopping?As to traditional shopping and online shopping, which one seems better to you? Do you prefer the traditional way or the online way? It is a personal preference when it comes to shopping. As for me，I prefer online shopping than traditional one.The first advantage of online shopping I can think of is its convenience. With online shopping service, I dont have to leave my home at all. I simply need to sit down in front of my computer, browse around various online stores, and find what I need. Another advantage is that there are various commordities online, which are both high in quality and low in price. If I can imagine it, then I can buy it! There is really nothing that I cant find on the Internet such as gifts, clothes，and many other items, which can be purchased economically and quickly and delivered directly to my doorstep. If I am not satisfied with the goods when receiving them, I can contact the customer service online, either exchanging or refunding freely within the specified period.In fact, traditional shopping has its own advantages. For example, you do get the opportunity to see the product before you purchase it. Really, all we need to do is to shop the way we feel comfortable, and remember to shop in a sensible way，namely, you should purchase some goods that you are really in need of.7.
