Task 1

TASK 1. Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, or C to each of the questions.
Nowadays, Vietnamese shopaholics are in favour of purchasing products from e-commerce

floors due to their significant benefits. To begin with, users can easily find a wide range of
products, including electronic devices, clothes, food and drink, etc. on these shopping
platforms; therefore, they are really paradises for those who are addicted to shopping. They
can spend a whale of time looking for products, comparing their prices among multiple
online stores and reading customers’ reviews to make a final decision on what they will buy.
Furthermore, cheaper prices are a big advantage of buying online products. On special
occasions these online markets supply compulsive shoppers heaps of promo codes, helping
them enjoy the feeling of obtaining items at reduced prices. Another outstanding feature of e-
commerce websites attracting new buyers every day is its convenience. With a few mouse
clicks at home, customers can own everything available on e-commerce websites. They
neither hastily browse through the products nor waste their time bargaining like in the outside
stores. This new way of shopping clearly satisfies frequent shoppers’ demand.
