Nowadays, a new way of shopping is attracting increasing customers: online group buying, also known as collective buying, which offers products and services at reduced prices on the condition that a minimum number of buyers would make the purchase. Origins of group buying can be traced to China where group buying or team buying was executed to get discount prices when a large group of people were willing to buy the same item.
China group buying business hit 1.74 billion dollars in 2011, up 55% from the same period in 2010, according to a report. The report also shows that 2011 was the year that the Chinese group-buying market got more and more concentrated with more and more Chinese, most of whom are white collars, teenagers and college students enjoying the benefits of group buying, and among most of favorable buying categories are restaurant, movie and hotel booking for traveling.
Through grouping buying, on one hand, customers get a lower price than normal. On the other hand, businessmen also cut down expense on marketing. That is the reason why group buying websites spring up like mushrooms in recent years. What is the most attractive in group buying must be the unbelieving discount. Facing the discount, customers always couldn’t resist the impulse to buy the product, even though they don’t need them.

The passage mainly introduces the origins of group buying and its benefits, which develops rapidly and becomes more and more popular in China, due to the great discount given to customers.
From my point of view, the advantages of group buying are obvious. For one thing, manufacturers can sell goods on a large scale and reduce marketing expense. For another, by cooperating with each other we shoppers can buy whatever we want without going out and get the most satisfactory goods at the lowest price.
Last week, I surfed a well-known group buying website for two film tickets. With only 30 yuan, I got the tickets as well as two bottles of green tea which saved me so much. It was a very nice experience.
As for suggestions for group buying, firstly, you should carefully read the advertisements and the comments from other customers. Secondly, buy with a clear purpose no matter how cheap it is. Thirdly, it is better to shop on famous and reliable websites to avoid being cheated by some cheating websites.

考点: 缩写类作文
The concept of homeschooling is not a new one. Homeschooling means educating children at home instead of sending them to public or private schools. Nowadays, homeschooling has become popular in many countries for a variety of reasons. One of them is poor quality of education in public schools and it’s also because private schools are quite expensive. Some parents believe that because they know their child’s strengths and weaknesses, they can teach him or her better. Some parents prefer homeschooling so as to prevent their children from getting into bad company. There is another group of people who choose to educate their children at home because they want them to learn spirit and values of the family and also their religious beliefs. They also think that homeschooling would help in development of strong family bonds(家庭纽带).
However, there are some negative effects of homeschooling on students as well as parents.
Homeschooling is a full-time job and not fit for parents who have their own careers. It takes a lot of time for parents’ side to make homeschooling a success. Other family members’ responsibilities may also be affected. They may give their full attention to the needs of their children. Besides, a parent may have high educational qualifications, but that does not make him or her a good teacher. Teaching is an art, which requires the ability to understand the needs of the children. It is likely that the parent might have forgotten what he or she has learned, and the curriculum(课程) of the children would also be different. This would make it difficult for the parents to explain the concepts to their children. Parents also have the responsibility of designing the curriculum of students.
In today’s world, competition(比赛) is seen in every field, and school prepares children to face these competitions. However, homeschooling does not give the children a chance to compare with other kids. They will also not be aware of where they stand in educational position among their classmates. This may affect their future lives. Education is not the only thing that the children need to become successful human beings. It is necessary that they learn to communicate in the society, and public school provides them with such an environment, where they meet many people. Schools also provide children with a chance to take part in various activities to improve their overall development.
It is true that it has many benefits, but one must realize that school teaches children skills to face and survive.
