Buying things on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Do the advantages of shopping in this way outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. Nowadays a lot of people do online shopping. They buy different things from lightbulbs to sport equipment, vehicles and large batch of goods for sale. This way of buying gives people many opportunities but can have some unpleasant and even fatal consequences. In my essay I am going to consider both positive and negative sides of this phenomenon. First of all, online shopping helps consumers safe their time and money. They do not waste hours to get to malls, walking around, trying on a lot of clothes, observing lines of endless shelves, etc. Most of these places demand using public or personal transport, that means additional expenses. Due to the Internet, it is possible to stay home and make orders in comfortable environment. Moreover, people should not anymore accommodate to the shops` open hours. Personally I prefer to do shopping late at night when my relatives sleep and no one would distract me. Secondly, surfing on the Internet in order to find the necessary thing, we can quickly check many shops located anywhere, and not be limited just our town or our country. During the last decades, it has become easier and easier satisfy even the most demanding consumers, because more and more buyer use big internet platforms like Amazon or Aliexpress to expend the circle of their clients. A couple month ago my friend decided to repair his kitchen and he purchased everything he needed on Aliespress. With satisfactory quality, the goods often cost several times cheaper than in a store near his home. But sometimes, wishing to safe a couple of dollars we can be we can be deceived dishonest sellers or frauds who take our money and send us nothing or bad-quality goods and then refuse to refund. Something like that happened to me recently wh

A Letter to a Friend Dear Peter, I’d like to invite you with my friends and me to spend this weekend together. We are going to visit Woodlands Hill Nature Reserve which is only 3 km from the Woodlands Waterfall. It costs $15 per person per night and I think it is great value for a bed, cooking facilities and showers. On Saturday evening we are going to cook a barbecue and there is food storage so you can take plenty of food including some meat for a barbecue. They do not provide a sleeping bag but it is not a problem if you do not have it because I will lend you a spare one if it is necessary. So, if you agree, let’s meet on Friday at 5.30 pm at the railway station. We have to catch a train at 5.45 pm. Now a couple of words about activities. On Saturday we are going to walk to waterfall. What about climbing in the afternoon? Instead, you just can walk around to enjoy admirable views. We are going to take a train on Sunday afternoon and return home by 8 pm. I hope to take your answer asap because we have to book places in a hostel till Wednesday. Please, let me know if you are in. I am sure it will be the greatest weekend for all this year. I am looking forward to your reply. Yours, Lily

A letter to support Dear U.., If the decision to drop the journal was made in Q3 of 2019, why was the editor informed of your decision only on January 17, 2020? By informing the editor a few months after the decision was made, you misled him. The editor of the journal and the authors were confident that the journal continued to be indexed in the WoS database. Moreover, even for several days after receiving a letter from WoS about the exclusion of the journal, it still continued to be in the databases. I personally saw the journal in the WoS database on January 20, 2020. It means, that the authors of the journal and the editor have been receiving from WoS the false information for several months that the journal continues to be indexed, although the decision to drop the journal has been made long time ago. You have failed many authors who spent a lot of time and money to write and then publish their articles in a journal that is indexed in BOC databases. And they were sure that all is OK checking the indexing of the journal in WoS’s databases. It seems to me that it would be correct on your part to improve this situation by indexing articles published in the journal in November and December 2019. And in the future, the editor should be informed in time about the exclusion of the journal from the databases so that he can warn the authors about this. I promise to share your response to my letter among the authors of the journal who have suffered from such an unfair decision, and on social networks as well. Sincerely, Liudmyla Harmash

Please check my letter to a friend Dear Robin, I am very glad to receive your letter. I am pleased to spend some days of my vacations in a sport camp. It will be great to play tennis and maybe other sports, for instance, badminton or just go for a walk in the mountain forest or just to breathe the fresh air in the evening sitting near a fire. I would like to sleep in a room than in a tent because despite of my love of nature I prefer to have a little comfort at night and sleep in a bed. Besides, I do not like insects and I suppose there are a lot of them. Certainly, I will cook a couple of national dishes. Maybe it will be borsch, herring under a 'fur coat', dumplings, or something else. As you invite me to spend a few days with you in your city I would be glad to visit some famous places, especially I would like to watch a new play in the city dramatic theatre and drop into the museum of arts. But I will offer any your proposal because you know better all the view sites of your city. I am looking forward to your answer. Your Lucy
