I often go shopping at the open-air market near my house. However, there are some things I don’t like about it. First, it is outdoor. On rainy or hot days, it is uncomfortable to shop. Secondly, the sellers usually ask for a higher price than the value of the goods and you have to bargain. It’s not easy if you don’t know the actual price of an item. Another disadvantage is hygiene. Fresh products like vegetables are often not very clean.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping?
Priority is:
-Save time.
- Flexibility when shopping.
-Easily compare prices and quality of items.
- Wide variety of items.
-Buying does not cause harm.
- Avoid unpleasant distractions.
The downside is:
-You can't actually see the products you buy
. -You have to wait for delivery.
-Your purchase may be mishandled in transit.
-You may be a victim of an Online scam.
- You cannot buy perishable products.
- You have to spend a lot of time hunting for offers
In my opinion, everything has two sides. Online shopping too:
Firstly, online shopping makes it easier for both buyers and sellers, easy to exchange, convenient, no need to go far, easy, fast. And online shopping is also a popular business, to increase income, and buyers are presented with more choices.
Besides, it is equally risky. Online shopping sometimes between buyers and sellers have not yet reached an agreement. Or maybe it's just funny advertising, but when it comes to users, the quality is poor.
Advantages:
1. Save time
2. Flexibility when shopping
3. Easily compare prices and quality of items
4. Full variety of items
Disadvantages:
1. You have to wait for delivery
2. Your purchase may be mishandled in transit
3. You can't buy perishable products
4. Spend more time shopping online
And finally, I want to say that online shopping is very quick and convenient, but don't always focus on online shopping and forget about daily work.

Some people in the neighborhood ,however, are not happy about the changes .The owners of the mall stores on street think the mall will take their bussiness. Some of the goods in the new stores will be the same as the ones in the small shops, but the stories in the mall will offer a wider selection of products , some at cheaper prices
The residents and store owners have been concerned about the new mall for a few months. They have organized a community meeting in order to discuss situation.

I think there are both advantages and disadvantages of online calls. Internet calls are cheap or even free. Many social networks provide free calls for people to communicate. Online calls help us to communicate with people that are really far away from us, for example, our relatives or our Internet friends. Moreover, you can create group calls when you are in need of hosting a conference or a family meeting. However, online calls also have drawbacks. You can’t make online calls unless you have Internet connection. Also, you need a smart device to perform a call. Sometimes, you may get unwanted calls from the person you don’t know.
Tạm dịch:
Mình nghĩ là có cả ưu điểm và nhược điểm của cuộc gọi trực tuyến. Cuộc gọi trên Internet rẻ hay thậm chí là miễn phí. Có nhiều mạng xã hội cung cấp các cuộc gọi miễn phí để mọi người có thể giao tiếp. Những cuộc gọi trực tiếp giúp người ta giao tiếp với những người ở rất xa, ví dụ như họ hàng hay bạn bè qua mạng. Hơn nữa, bạn có thể tạo những cuộc gọi nhóm khi bạn cần tổ chức cuộc họp hay họp gia đình. Tuy nhiên, những cuộc gọi trực tuyến cũng có những hạn chế. Bạn không thể thực hiện cuộc gọi trực tuyến nếu không có kết nối mạng. Hơn nữa bạn cũng cần một thiết bị thông minh để gọi điện. Đôi khi bạn có thể nhận những cuộc gọi không mong muốn từ những người bạn không biết.
