UNIT 8
Online shopping is buying a product or service over the internet.
Online shopping is easy. You visit a seller's website, select the product you want to buy,
and order it. You can pay online or when you get the product.
Online shopping is convenient. With Internet access, you can purchase anything, at
anytime from anywhere. It could be a meal, a gift for a friend, or even an English
course. You can save the trouble of travelling, time, and money.
However, shopping online has disadvantages, too. Firstly, the products you receive are
sometimes not exactly what you expect. Secondly, when you are not happy with a
product, you can return it, but you have to pay for the shipping. Thirdly, you can easily
become a shopaholic because it is easy and there are many products to choose from.
You may find it hard to stop yourself from over-shopping. You may even buy things
you don't really need.
UNIT 9
This is An Binh Commune Radio Station. The rainy season is coming so today's
special programme will tell you about what you should do before, during and after a
1

storm. Before a storm, each family should prepare an emergency kit with necessary
things like plasters, basic medicine, whistle, bottles of water, food etc. Bring in outdoor
things like flowerpots or rubbish bin because they can get blown away by strong winds.
Strengthen your house if necessary.
During a storm, stay inside. Even when the rain and winds stop, wait because the
storm may start up again. Stay away from windows and glass doors. They could break
and hurt you. Gather in the safest room in the house.
After the storm, don't leave your house right away. Listen to important
instructions from local authorities. They may warn you about which parts of your area
are dangerous and should be avoided. Stay away from broken power lines.
