Online Class Notes (Mike)

The double 11 of 2021 just passed by.

I was not going to buy too much during this double 11, because I bought what I need immediately in normal time, so I thought I don’t need a lot. My original plan was to buy some food and medicines for my pets, also some snacks. However, in fact I bought more than my plan, for example some series of books, online classes, life groceries and so on.

The strengths of double 11 are the price and the festival feeling. I really bought some lower price stuffs, such as online class, the price was off 30 RMB when reaching 200. It’s worthy to say that I got an adjustable desk for free, since I was the 3rd person who paid the price on the first day of Nov, so I was lucky and felt happy.

The weakness of double 11 is that it’s easy for us to buy some stuff we are not really need. Some people may feel I have to buy something in this shopping festival even though I don’t need actually, others may drop into the trap by the KOL or sellers who always create new requirements.

At last, my suggestion for double 11 is we could join with minds and be careful don’t buy unused stuffs.

At last, my suggestion for double 11 is that we should consider more carefully and with more rationale before we buy things.
