[00:07.81]On Group Purchase Online
[00:11.23]Nowadays with rapid development of the information technology
[00:17.57]and increasing popularity of online shopping,
[00:21.81]group purchase through the Internet has become a fashion,
[00:26.47]particularly among the youngsters.
[00:29.65]As to group purchase,
[00:31.88]there is no consensus among the public.
[00:35.37]Some people advocate it as they believe
[00:39.66]that group purchase is a real blessing
[00:43.01]in that it is convenient,
[00:45.07]efficient and grants people attractively low price.
[00:49.79]Others, however, hold the view
[00:52.53]that group purchase is not advisable for online shopping
[00:57.20]is not reliable and trustworthy.
[01:00.99]What's more,
[01:02.68]the delivery will increase the risk of item damage.
[01:06.97]In addition, some people tend to waste time
[01:10.41]and money on the goods they don't really need,
[01:13.83]only because the prices of group purchase are very low.
[01:17.50]From my standpoint,
[01:19.93]although there are indeed some drawbacks
[01:22.92]when it comes to group purchase,
[01:25.10]the benefits will overweigh the drawbacks
[01:28.22]as long as people are cautious
[01:30.40]when they are making purchases.
