How is shopping on the Internet different from and similar to in stores?

These years, shopping on the Internet has become popular in the world. Consumers can buy various items from online stores. In fact, people can purchase books, clothing, household appliances, toys, hardware, even software and so on. Actually, it is a convenient way for consumers. Sometimes the real goods are not the same as what they have seen on the computer. Thus, there are still some people like shopping in stores. Following sections are some differences and similarities between shopping on the Internet and shopping in stores.

There are several differences between shopping on the Internet and shopping in stores. First, people do not have to waste a lot of their precious time to go from one shop to another one. They just choose their desired commodities which come in all shapes, sizes and colors on the Internet. In contrast, people spend their time shopping in stores as they prefer to try on the products personally, and then pick up the lovely one. Second, shopping on the internet is convenient, people just to sit in front of their computers and click the mouse. The commodities they ordered will be delivered to them promptly. However, people have to drive to the store, find a packing place and walk through the store until finding the products they need. After finding the items to purchase, they often stand in long line at the cash register. Third, consumers can not see the items when they shopping on internet; nevertheless, consumers can see the goods when they shopping in stores.

There are several similarities between shopping on the Internet and shopping in stores. First, both of them all provide the after-service for consumers. People can return the cargo to seller by mail or by 7-11 delivery service if product has any problem. They jus need to pay some expense to send the goods back. Likewise, when people shop in stores, they can give a damaged item back personally and to change a new one in good condition. Next, both of them all provide preferential information to consumers on a regular time schedule by e-mail or by text message in order to promote their goods well. When people shopping on the Internet, they have to fill in their contact details on line; and then sellers will send consumers discount information accordingly. In the same way, clerks in stores would ask for your contact details and key in on their record in order to send you discount information.

In short, there are some differences and similarities between shopping on the Internet and shopping in stores. Shopping on line is convenient and can save time for consumers. On the other hand, shopping in stores can see the goods and try it on personally to avoid the inaccuracy. However, both of them can provide consumers preferential information and after-service. Therefore, customers can choose their preferred way to pick up the goods.

Living Together Before Marriage

Do you agree to cohabit? In traditional society, this behavior might be debated; in contract, in modern society, cohabit is become more universal. Actually, I agree living together before marriage. I think there are two advantages on it.

First, everyone comes from different family i.e. people have various growth background. Thus, if you can live together before marriage, you can find the difference with your partner. Then, you can try to find the solution to settle disputes. After day and day, the argument will become less. In the other hand, if you really can’t accept your partner’s bad habits, you have enough time to question whether you want to go ahead with the wedding? Second, you will have more time to observe your partner and consider about whether he/she is your true love during that peiod as you will spend much time to get along with your partner.


In short, I think living together before marriage is a good way as you have more time to think about your further. Also, you can learn to accept the different habits with you partner to avoid any argument.
