Whether it's clothes, food, or electronics — almost everything can be bought online.

网购wǎnggòu的de优点yōudiǎn很hěn明显:míngxiǎn方便、fāngbiàn快速,kuàisù还hái可以kěyǐ比较bǐjiào价格。jiàgé

The advantages of online shopping are obvious: convenient, fast, and you can compare prices.

不过búguò它tā也yě有yǒu一些yìxiē问题。wèntí

But it also has some problems.

有时候,yǒu shíhou实物shíwù和hé图片túpiàn不bù一样。yíyàng

Sometimes the actual product doesn't match the picture.

退货tuìhuò也yě很hěn麻烦,máfan要yào打包dǎbāo再zài寄jì回去。huíqù

Returns are also a hassle — you have to package and ship it.

即便jíbiàn如此,rúcǐ我wǒ仍然réngrán觉得juéde方便fāngbiàn大于dàyú不便。búbiàn

Even so, I still think the convenience outweighs the inconvenience.

我wǒ记得jìde第一次dì yī cì网购wǎnggòu是shì十年前。shí nián qián

I remember my first online purchase, ten years ago.

那时候nà shíhou付款fùkuǎn要yào去qù银行,yínháng快递kuàidì也yě要yào等děng一个星期。yí ge xīngqī

Back then paying meant going to the bank, and delivery took a week.

现在xiànzài付款fùkuǎn只要zhǐ yào刷shuā一下yíxià脸,liǎn第二天dì èr tiān东西dōngxi就jiù到了。dào le

Now paying takes one scan of your face, and the goods arrive the next day.

双十一Shuāng Shíyī更是gèng shì变成biàn chéng了le全民quánmín的de购物节。gòuwù jié

Double Eleven has even turned into a nationwide shopping festival.

那一天,nà yì tiān很多人hěn duō rén熬夜áoyè等着děng zhe零点líng diǎn下单。xià dān

On that day many people stay up waiting for midnight to place orders.

商家shāngjiā提前tíqián一个月yí ge yuè就jiù开始kāishǐ做广告。zuò guǎnggào

Merchants start advertising a full month ahead.

不过búguò这几年zhè jǐ nián我wǒ慢慢mànmàn学会xuéhuì了le少买shǎo mǎi一些。yìxiē

In recent years, though, I have gradually learned to buy less.

便宜piányi的de东西dōngxi买回来mǎi huílái不用,bú yòng也是yě shì浪费。làngfèi

Cheap things bought and never used are a waste too.
