ЗАДАНИЕ 1. Прочитайте текст “Online Shopping: Good or Bad?” и отметьте, какие утверждения соответствуют содержанию (T), а какие — нет (F). Текст: Nowadays many people do their shopping online. They use the Internet to buy clothes, books, food and even furniture. Is online shopping good or bad? Let’s look at its advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of online shopping is convenience. You don’t need to go to a shop, wait in a queue or carry heavy bags. You can buy everything from home, sitting in a comfortable chair. You can also compare prices in different online shops and find the cheapest thing. Besides, online shops work 24 hours a day, so you can buy something even at midnight. However, online shopping has some disadvantages too. First, you can’t try on clothes or check the thing before you buy it. Sometimes the picture on the website looks different from the real thing. Second, you must wait for your order — sometimes for a week or more. Third, you need to pay for delivery, and it can be quite expensive. And, of course, you must be careful with your bank card details on the Internet. As for me, I like going to real shops with my friends. It is more fun, and I can see what I am buying. But sometimes I order books online because it is faster and cheaper. Утверждения: 1. Many people today buy things on the Internet. 2. Online shopping is convenient because you don’t have to carry heavy bags. 3. Online shops work only in the morning. 4. You can always try on clothes before buying them online. 5.
