When my parents were young, they bought things in shops only, Shops were usually open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00p.m. When the shops were closed, they couldn’t buy anything. Also, they didn’t have many choices, either. They paid only with cash at that time.Today we can buy things in many ways. Shopping is available at anytime anywhere. We can buy things in the shops, on the internet, etc. We can even buy things from other countries without leaving our home. And there are much more choices on line. We can not only pay with cash but also by phone or computer.How convenient we shop today!
