They don’t like shopping on the Internet because they can’t see the product or try the clothes on. Also paying over the Internet isn’t always safe. Online shopping is changing our way of life. One day no one will go to the shops any more, because youll be able to buy anything on the Internet, and you will be able to receive it anywhere in the world at any time! 2 Read the passage and check true or false . 1.
