2. Read the following passage and answer the questions (1.5 points)

The weekend is usually a good time to go shopping because people have free time from
work. At this time the shops are usually very busy. People look at products in shops
even when they do not have much money. This is known as window shopping. Some
people believe that the more expensive the item is, the better the quality is, but this is
not always true. Sometimes shopping can be stressful when choosing a gift to buy other
people for a special occasion.
Besides, shopping online is often popular with people who have a busy lifestyle.
People are able to order their necessary and luxury items from the comfort of their own
home, or even on the move. Delivery is usually free and items are often cheaper than in
shops on the high street.The only real problem is that the item description and quality
may be different than what they hoped for.
