“Who needs a shopping mall if you have Taobao ?” says Wang Lin, 28, a writer in Beijing. She spends lots of money on Taobao. It is well-known Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site, has become an important part of our life.

A large number of Chinese Internet users like Wang have found the joy of online shopping. Most online shoppers are students or young workers. More women shop online than men. Clothing and home use products (产品) are the most popular online.

It is said that more than 250 billion yuan was spent on online shopping last year, 80% through Taobao. Taobao means ‘looking for treasure(财富)’ in Chinese. People can find almost everything they need on Taobao, from clothes to books, from candies to DVD players.

You may question the safety online shopping. Wang Lin said, ‘It is very safe and convenient (便利).If you receive the products from the sellers and you aren’t ②              them, the shop owner will not get the money. You can also get your money back if you want to return the product.’

When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learnt French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me.

“Yes,”I said.“I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well, that’s nice,”he exclaimed (惊呼).“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?”

“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”

“Oh!”he said.“There’s a phone downstairs.”

When at last we did meet up, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me.“I had many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say. But most of the time British and American people can understand each other!”
