Do you like to shop on the Internet? I like to buy books online. The things in online shops are cheaper. When I want to know something about a book, I write an e-mail to the online shop for an answer. I am shy. It is difficult for me to talk to the shopkeeper in real shops. 

Sometimes online shops have pictures of the book. They can show you some pages of the book, too. I think this is very helpful. I don‘t like to read books in shops because the shopkeeper may come and talk to me. I don‘t know what to say to them. 

I can shop at midnight if I want to. Real shops close at nine o’clock in the evening. Some people worry about the postman may lose or damage the things they buy from online shops. 

But I don’t worry about that. I think it is hard to damage a book and my postman is very careful. 

Some people say that shopping in real shops is good because you can go with your friends and look at many different things. They call this window-shopping. I don‘t 

have any friends and I
