English on the Go it,

but have you ever thought about whether online shopping is good or bad for you?

We'll explore both sides of the issue and help you think about your own shopping habits.

Joining us today are two friends,

Lisa and Clem, who are discussing the pros and cons of online shopping.

Let's listen in on their conversation.

Before we jump into the conversation, think about these questions.

1. Do you prefer shopping online or in physical stores?

2. What are some benefits and disadvantages of online shopping?

3. How has online shopping changed the way we buy things?

Hey Ben, have you noticed how much online shopping has become a part of our lives?

Absolutely.

It's so convenient.

You can buy anything from clothes to groceries with just a click.

Yeah, it saves a lot of time.

You don't have to leave your house,

and everything gets delivered right to your door.

That's true, but don't you think there are some downsides too?

I mean, sometimes it's hard to know if what you're buying is really good quality.

You're right.

Pictures online don't always match the actual product.

Plus, returning things can be such a hassle.

Exactly.

And I've noticed that I tend to buy more when I shop online,

especially because it's so easy.

I sometimes end up buying things I don't really need.

Oh, me too.

I get tempted by all the sales and discounts,

and before I know it,

I've spent way more than I planned.

Another thing is that online shopping isn't great for local businesses.

It's tough for small shops to compete with big online stores.

That's a good point.

I try to support local stores when I can,

but it's hard to resist the convenience of shopping online.

Yeah.

But I guess online shopping isn't all bad.

It's great for people who live far from big cities or have busy schedules.

Definitely.

And sometimes you can find unique items online that you wouldn't be able to get in stores.

At the end of the day,

I think it's all about balance.

Online shopping is great when used wisely,

but it's important to think about what and why we're buying.

Agreed.

Being mindful of our spending and supporting local shops when possible is key.

Let's take a moment to go over some of the vocabulary from the conversation.

1. Convenient.

It means something that is easy and saves time.

For example, shopping online is convenient because you don't need to go to the store.

2. Hassle.

It refers to something that is difficult or causes trouble.

For example, returning things online can be a hassle.

3. Tempted.

It means feeling the desire to do something,

especially something you shouldn't do.

For example, I was tempted to buy more because of the sale.

Support.

It means to help or give assistance to someone or something.

For example, I try to support local businesses by shopping at small stores.

Five, mindful, it means to be aware or conscious of something.

For example, we should be mindful of our spending when shopping online.

Now, listen to the conversation again,

and this time try to identify these words as you listen.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
