پادکست انگلیسی 8

1. A lot of people find shopping online easier than going to the stores or the supermarkets and they love the cheaper prices on the internet. They also like reading other customers’ reviews, so they know different people’s opinions about a product before they buy. But for many people, the most important advantage of online shopping is the choice.

2. Shopping in your town isn’t easy if you don’t like the same things as everyone else. But that isn’t a problem online. On the internet your shopping center is the world. You can buy from a Korean music shop, a Mexican farmer and a Nigerian hat designer all in one afternoon.

3. The internet is also the perfect place to find something strange or unusual. You can buy a jar of Alaskan snow, the poster for a 1920s horror movie or a potato in the shape of a rabbit! Soon after singer Justin Bieber went to the barber, a fan bought a small box of his hair at an auction website for $40,668!

4. For some people, experiences are more important than possessions and they too can find a lot of interesting things on the internet. Would you like to give your name to a character in a novel or appear in a TV show? Win the right online auction and you can. In 2008, someone even bought an evening with actress Scarlett Johannson for $40,100 (the money went to a charity).

You don’t get much exercise when you shop online and you don’t see many friendly faces, but if you are looking for something unusual, there’s nowhere better!
