 Initially, since I can earn myself a small amount of money, I still set a budget of 50$ to spend on

buying things as extravagant with the exception of gas and daily supplies. Furthermore, the
accessibility when buying things without involving self-transport made me want to do more
online shopping. But ultimately I would like to purchase 1 times monthly and depend on their
price, I would consider make a double or triplet the purchases.
 Recently, I just buying digital accessories such as headphone, LED to support lightning my room,
and some goods related to my hobby, comics, posters are put on the wall of my room as a
decoration. The latest items I bought on online shop is the computer mouse. Since the previous
one had surpassed the guarantee, causing me lots of troubles while surfing webs and enjoying
games with my pals.
 For this question, “Yes” is my first thing that I or many individual would say. But with my
experience using online shopping platform for years, I found that there are some hidden fees that
sellers didn’t include in and push the price of that product went high. For example, the “Shopee”
platform is the most used one to purchase essentials. But this platform charged a 2% addition fee
for each items. In extend, when this platform offer a discount, they have already charged another
2% of the total fee, but still not including shipping fee. So wisely advised is buying things that
have a favorable location first, then purchase far-items when needed.
 I can firmly say NO to this answer, since the appearance of online shopping in Vietnam. I haven’t
seen any shifts or reduce in shops. The majority of the sellers still maintain their habit:
introducing items to public to by, allow customers to make a physical contact- this is the key
factor when doing business in Vietnam. And internet purchase from public is an addition method
to help them earn more. In fact, some might opt to the full-time online selling, due to the global
economy crisis. But, other will keep the market-selling culture.

7.5 IELTS band score in speaking:

1. Frequency of Online Shopping: “Since I started earning a modest income, I’ve set a budget of
$50 for discretionary spending, excluding necessities like fuel and daily supplies. The
convenience of shopping without the need for transportation has increased my inclination
towards online shopping. However, I prefer to limit my online purchases to once a month, and
depending on the price of the items, I might consider doubling or tripling the purchases.”
2. Recent Purchases: “Recently, I’ve been buying digital accessories such as headphones and LED
lights to enhance the ambiance of my room. I’ve also bought items related to my hobby, like
comics and posters, which I use as decorations for my room. The latest item I purchased online
 was a computer mouse, as my previous one had exceeded its warranty period and was causing
me issues while browsing the web and playing games with my friends.”
3. In-Store vs. Online Shopping: “Yes, like many individuals, I often see items in physical stores
before purchasing them online. However, from my years of experience using online shopping
platforms, I’ve noticed that there are some hidden fees that sellers don’t include in the listed
price, which can make the final price higher. For instance, the platform ‘Shopee’, which I
frequently use to purchase essentials, charges an additional 2% fee for each item. Moreover,
when this platform offers a discount, they charge another 2% of the total fee, not including the
shipping fee. So, it’s wise to buy items that are located nearby first, then purchase items from
farther locations when necessary.”
4. Impact of Online Shopping on Local Town or City Centre: “I can confidently say that the
advent of online shopping in Vietnam has not led to any significant changes or reductions in
physical shops. Most sellers still maintain their traditional habits of showcasing items for the
public to buy, allowing customers to physically interact with the products - a key factor in doing
business in Vietnam. Internet purchases are just an additional method to help them earn more. In
fact, some might opt for full-time online selling due to the global economic crisis, but others will
preserve the culture of market selling.”
