It is undeniable that technology has a significant impact on every single aspect of our lives. Without exception, the ways in which we buy and sell these days have vastly changed in relationship to the benefits to customers. In particular, Internet shopping (or online shopping) is becoming a prevailing trend. I suppose there are 3 main factors that are causing this change.
Firstly, the diversity available for every kind of good is an attraction for customers. The producers sell their products on the Internet in a wide range of choices, varying from the appearance, and colour to the quality. Because of the goods are sold directly to customers through websites, there is nothing to worry about regarding the shortages of the features chosen. People also find what they want to buy very easily.
Then, time-saving is another noticeable feature of online shopping, which is highly appreciated by very busy businessmen. They are able to perform transactions without leaving home. In addition, to fulfill high consumer demand, some providers are also willing to deliver the goods to the customer’s home for free, which is seen to to be very convenient. People are thus free from the constraints of geography and time.
Finally, with Internet access, online shoppers can check out the lowest price of an item or service. Usually, with a kind of product there are many sellers or manufacturers for a single product, and the customer’s instinct is to compare their features to find out which one is the best. Manufacturers, therefore, have to improve product quality and lower prices levels to win the favour of customers. Once again, customers are in the position of gaining added benefits.
In summary, there are many factors contributing to the ubiquitous nature of Internet shopping and the transformation in the lives of customers. People should step up their efforts to maximise the benefits of this trend.0 votedAugust 27, 20133My Summer
Time flew fast. Nearly a whole month has passed and the summer will end soon. I was too lazy and didn't do much reading. This made me to feel a bit nervous and worried about my new life; that is, I will returning to being a student after having left campus for such a long time.
However, there are some amazing changes that have happened.
One is that I have finally found a new model of getting along with my parents, which was the only problem that I felt was hopeless to solve.
I understood a lot of social norms more clearly in the last few days. Similarly, I suddenly realised that I had too much of an idealistic view of my parents. I can now finally get rid of the negative power of the Chinese religion, and things like filial piety. I feel much stronger.
Another is that I don't have to be carnivorous. I had never had any interest in vegetables. At most, I just didn't mind having some when they were on the table. Last week I had a fever for several days, and one day during it when I ate some meat, unexpectedly, I felt my stomach hurting a lot and I felt like vomiting during the whole afternoon. This happened again the next day. I suddenly found it would help me recover if I just ate vegetables. I finally found that my dad cooks vegetables wonderfully, and that he is not just good at cooking meat and fish. I began to miss the flavour of the fried vegetables he cooks. This feeling I had never emerged in the past. It is a good thing that I can quit the addiction of eating meat. It is healthier for me.
Thirdly, but more trivially, I went swimming several times. My swimming skill has been improving over the last fours years. I didn't make special efforts to do so, and never had any great expectations. At first when I taught myself swimming, I felt it was so hard and I didn't even think I would make it some day. Naturally (As usual?), things have changed. This change gives me a lot of confidence about “time”. I used to be impatient about results. I easily got disappointed easily if I didn't experience success in a period I could predict. Now I think I can wait. I don't need to measure time just by days or months, but by years as well.
Likewise, my "friendship" is steadily growing stronger and stronger. I think I am a lucky girl.
Besides, because of swimming, my flesh (skin?) is getting firmer. I have never had protuberant muscles before, but now I can see a six pack of abdominal muscles, and the shape of my waist is nearly perfect. I want to find some ways to avoid it changing into fat when I am busy at university and don't have time to do exercises.Note: "a six pack of abdominal muscles"-- you can simply say "a six pack" because it refers to abdominal muscles.
Good work!

It's been one week since I got home.
Unlike those spindly trees dying along the streets of Shanghai because of constant movement, the soaring giants in my hometown stand still waiting for my annual return. So does the whole unknown moutainous town. Every day the sun falls behind the ever-green peaks and sinks into the peaceful lake as the golden color vanishes on the wall of my bedroom. Soon it takes on a new look, my favorite one, as the moon rises and casts its thousands of reflections on the lake on of/that is my flat wall, like a canvas, dotted with the beautiful shadows of a bamboo bush between my window and the lake. Every night before I close my eyes, it's there, like a curtain, behind which lies my mysterious dream land, where only I and the fresh summery breezes are allowed in.
But it's my last summer here.
So, this year is like one of the turning points in my life which, I believe, have all been written in advance.
To make it worth its reputation as a turning point, my mom has changed the slogan from "Knowledge changes your fate," to "No amount of knowledge can equal a decent husband." For the very first time my parents reached the an agreement about this although they hate each other's guts.
They are also surprised by my decision to work in at a bank, pleased to see their baby girl finally grow up and face the reality. Also, I kind of regret telling them where I work so because now they have the illusion that their daughter is in charge of the dollars in American people's pockets, and have ecstatically broadcast the news nationalwide nationwide. Like a betrayer, I don't even have the guts to recall what's permanently gone permanently.
It's all locked behind the wall of bamboo shadows and reflections of the moon, together with the memories of a beautiful summer of 2012.
I'll remember you.0 votedJuly 5, 20135A bit about being short small growth
Sometimes we do not realize how lucky we are. Of course, worrying about our the problems will always be an option, but and often our worries they are unfounded, if you we compare them with the real problems of other people. Get at least a common like growth factor. Think about a common worry, like height.
Many people believe that they are too short. They see to/look at tall people and
envy them. A Mmen especially suffer from this especially. A g Girls like tall guys.
These complexes insecurities have been amplified, and many people are suffering because of it.
But you can console themselves with the thought that throughout in the world there are many people who have less than they do you.
In this photo there is a very most small man.0 votedJuly 5, 20132Hydro-electric power generation
The diagram shows the process of hydro-electric power generation.
At the beginning of the diagram we can observe a well-known process, which is the water cycle circle, the same thing we can learned at school.
First, the sun heats up water from the seas, then the evaporated water is condensated condenses and forms clouds., These clouds get absorb more evaporated water until they become too heavy, are too much fulled and then they burst into rain.
This rain falls back goes into rivers and seas again. In this case, it goes to a reservoir, which recieves also receives also water from a pump.
The reservoir has a dam, which is controlled by an open/close valve. When this valve opens the dam, water goes trough a turbine, in which electricity is produced. After this, water goes to through the pump and again to the reservoir.
After being produced by the turbine, electricity travels trough high voltage cables, helped by attached to electric towers, and ends up in a transformer station. From there electricity is carried by underground cables to houses, industries factories, hospitals, schools and everywhere else.0 votedJuly 5, 20130
