You should write at least 250 words.
It is getting more ubiquitous in some countries that in-person shopping is being replaced by online shopping. Acknowledging that this change is likened to a double-edged sword, I believe that it does more good than harm.
On the one hand, online shopping has certain drawbacks when it comes to quality control and self satisfaction. The growing extent and range of online shopping has led to a staggering burst of online shopping services, including those which might be verifiable in terms of product quality, and at the same time, those which are likely untrustable. Therefore, consumers have to confront a greater risk of purchasing products of unknown origin or of unsatisfactory standard. Moreover, the sensation granted from in-person shopping is too precious to be given up on. Shopping trips, either alone or with our acquainted ones, provide us with an irreplaceable feeling of joyfulness and solidarity, or simply a feeling of satisfaction and desire when taking a directly close look at supermarkets' shelves..., all of which are hardly found on online stores.
On the other hand, shopping online brings about a great deal of benefits in terms of convenience and freedom of choices. With the current cutting-edge technologies, buyers are able to complete an entire purchasing procedure remotely with just a few clicks and swipes. In other words, the amount of time and effort needed is slashed by a great extent in comparison with that for conventional shopping. Of equal significance, consumers are offered a wide variety of products, with all the freedom of will to choose from. Unlike traditional shopping during which we might disappointedly go home in empty hands after an unsuccessful search for our wanted products, online shopping has almost no likelihood of such cases when the number of deals online are virtually unrivaled.
In conclusion, although this shift can prove negative in certain aspects such as quality control, it is not only inevitable considering the current pace of technological development, but also a major boon to the services provided for consumers. I suggest that the experience of online shopping be further enhanced and customizable so that consumers can enjoy it far more
