Alibaba started taking the lead in China, simply enough, by connecting big Chinese, manufacturers(ÖÆÔìÉÌ)with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba¡¯s advantage wasn¡¯t hard to identify: size.

Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year¡ªand Alibaba is just the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets¡ªnot charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings. ¡°You¡¯re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ¡± my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

Alibaba¡¯s original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. Chinese retail£¨ÁãÊÛ£©buying makes up 80% of Alibaba¡¯s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you¡¯ll ever find. TMall.com is Alibaba¡¯s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U. S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping---big-box retailers(ÁãÊÛÉÌ)especially---in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how extensive(¹ã·ºµÄ) the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I¡¯m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher¡¯s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

A student's life is never easy. 1. A lot of preparations are needed so you can be sure to go hack home with a diploma and a bright future waiting for you. The following are some basic things you need to do before even seizing that passport and boarding on the plane.

¡ñKnowing the country.

You shouldn't bother researching the country's hottest tourist spots or historical places. You won't go there as a tourist, but as a student. It'll be helpful to read the most important points in their history and to read up on their culture. 2. You surely don't want to face legal problems, especially if you're away from home.

¡ñStudying their language.

Don't expect that you can graduate abroad without knowing even the basics of the language. Before leaving your home country, take online lessons to at least master some of their words and sentences. 3. Doing this will also prepare you in communicating with those who can't speak English.b

¡ñ 4.

Check the conversion£¨¶Ò»»£©of your money to their local currency, set up your bank account so you can use it there, get an insurance, and find an apartment. The Internet or your intended school will be very helpful in finding an apartment and helping you understand local currency.

Remember, you're not only carrying your own reputation but your country's reputation as well. If you act foolishly, people there might think that all of your country men are foolish as well. 5. £®

A. Packing your clothes.

B. Preparing for other needs.

C. Most importantly, read about their laws.

D. This will be useful in living and studying there.

E. That would surely be a very bad start for your study abroad program.

F. Going with their trends will keep it from being too obvious that you're a foreigner.

G. And it is even more difficult if you will have to complete your study in a foreign land.
