a little easier and more interesting. The first step is to feel positive about learning English. If you believe
that you can learn, you will learn. Be patient. You do not have to understand everything at once. It’s natural
to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. The second step is to
practice your English. For example, write a journal, or diary, everyday. You will get used to writing in
English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see
that your writing is improving. The third step is to keep a record of your language learning. You can write
this in your journal. After each class, think about what you did. Did you answer a question correctly? Did
you understand something the teacher explained ? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to
understand it. It’s important to practice every day and make a record of your achievements.

Online shopping offers consumers the opportunity to shop from the comfort of their own home. According to
those who sit at their computer and shop, the greatest benefit of this is that it saves time. They feel it is quicker
to surf the Internet in search of goods than to travel to and from traditional retail outlets to do their shopping.
In addition to reducing the amount of time spent shopping, the Internet also provides customers with the chance
to make purchases from shops around the world. The variety of goods available on the Internet is far greater
than that available even in the largest of shopping centers.
Moreover, purchases can be made without the interference of sale staff, whose presence is often unwanted. How
many of us have returned from a shopping trip with something we didn’t really want? We have often been talked
into buying it by a highly persuasive sales assistant. The online shopper, however, can spend hours looking at
the goods on sale in one shop without feeling under any obligation to buy. A further advantage is that they are
not limited by the opening times of shops and can buy goods at any time of the day or night.
31. There are many advantages when we shop online. ________
32. Consumers can sit at their computer and shop online nowadays. ________
33. The Internet makes people spend a lot of time making purchases
from shops around the world. ________
