IELTS writing task 2

Some people say that modern technology has made shopping today easier, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion

According to some individuals, shopping has been made easier due to the use of modern technology however many others disagree. I believe that online shopping has more advantages than disadvantages.

On one hand, shopping online has made life easier, since there is no time wasted in going to a grocery. You can just order using the website and chose the time you want it to be delivered. Suppose there is a wedding function you have to attend tomorrow but there are no dress for that occasion, it is possible to order it online and have the dress the very same day. Another instance of how online shopping is helpful is that there are variety of choices and you can check the information related to that thing. For example while buying any food item, you can always check its details.

On the other hand, buying materials online seems to bring out problems for many. Some people fall for online offers like buying a newly released model at a very cheap prize and end up giving their bank details falling prey to predators of online fraud. While some others face the issue of the items bought not being the same. For example buying a shirt based on how it looks in the picture uploaded but when received, it doesn’t appear the same.

I conclude, shopping online has increased time efficiency and its simple infrastructure making it easy to use. Though there are issues while shopping with modern technology but technology keeps advancing daily making it safer than the previous one.
