购物方式的变化

　　The chart above shows the change of ways of shopping from 2000 to 2010. As can be seen from the above chart, from 2000 to 2010, the rate of online shopping kept on increasing, from 31.6% to 52.3%, while the traditional shopping fell dramatically from 75.3% to 43.2% occasionally. From then on, both the rate of online shopping and the rate of traditional shopping increased.

　　It is no difficult job for us to come up with some possible factors that underlie the above changes. In the first place, with the development of our economy, people have changed their lifestyles. They did not regard traditional shopping as a good thing. Therefore, the rate of traditional shopping had begun to fall down since 2000. In the second place, with the improvement of both living standards of people and the technique of Internet, people can enjoy shopping online. Thus the rate of traditional shopping had also begun to fall down since 2000 as shown in the chart.

　　From what has been discussed so far, it can be predicted that the present situation will continue for quite a while in the near future. People will have fewer and fewer traditional shopping, and they will enjoy more and more online shopping.
