Shopping is a necessary part of life which very few people can avoid. Some
people shop for pleasure and spend a huge (1)
__________________________ of money on expensive and useless things
while other people go (2) __________________________ just to buy the
necessary items in order to survive. The weekend is usually a good time to
go shopping because people have free time from work. But it is a problem
because shops are usually very crowded, especially on holidays like
Christmas, that time of the year when shopkeepers put up impressive (3)

__________________________ people. Moreover, shops usually announce
big (5) __________________________ and (6)

and (13) __________________________ items from the comfort of their
own home, or even on the move. The items you want to buy are often cheaper
than in shops on the high street and delivery is usually free, but you need to
be careful, because sometimes websites can (14)
__________________________ you for this service. In despite of that,
shopping online can be a very good option, but there is one big problem: the
(15) __________________________ description and quality may be
different than what you hoped for. This could mean the customer may
become disappointed with the item he receives and will need to return it
during the (16) __________________________. Usually, you get a (17)
