Hello, English learners, and welcome to Further Shorts.

Today, let’s talk about shopping.

My relationship with shopping is simple: I like to be efficient. For example, at the supermarket, my mission is always clear. I go in with a list. This week I need one litre of milk, three loaves of bread, and two sticks of butter. Ten minutes, and I'm done. I pay with my card, get the receipt, and leave. Easy.

But clothing stores? That’s a different world. My style is very simple: black t-shirts and blue jeans. But when I go into a store, I see hundreds of options: Silk, cotton, linen, wool? 2 for one, oversized, patterns, draping? And then the price is expensive, and the workers are always very insistent. It’s too much!

That’s why I prefer online shopping.It's faster, it’s cheaper, and there’s no pressure. Click, click, click… and two days later, the delivery arrives at my door. No crowds, no boring music, no strange perfumes.

Everybody loves shopping online, but did you know that e-commerce is only 20 percent of purchases worldwide?
