Speaking exercise

one of my friend she is a online shopping fan. i think she shopping online 3 times a week and i think it is crazy. she likes buy anything online which includes clothes, shoes, and a lot of accessories. so i always say you are a so rich woman. but, she always turned back the goods after she bought that because the goods she buy is always different to what she thought. So i think shopping on shopping mall actually has a advantage which is you can touch it and try it so for me i choose buy those goods for life such as toothpaste and toilet paper online and buy clothes and shoes on shopping mall. And, another advantage is after you tried it you can take it home, so even if nowadays online shopping is so popular and convenient i still think shopping mall is necessary for us.
