2015年6月英语四级作文预测题：今天你团购了嘛

 　　随着互联网的日益发达，人们越来越依赖于网络，尤其是近几年，团购越发兴盛，如今已渗入生活的方方面面。团购固然是便捷的一种生活方式，然而既有利，亦有弊，童鞋，你肿么看？

　　Group Purchasing

　　In recent years, a new type of online shopping is rapidly gaining popularity¹ — group purchasing, which was originally introduced from foreign countries but is now widely accepted all over China. People can buy not only goods, but also all kinds of services on group purchasing sites.

　　Group purchasing is very convenient, and saves people a lot of money. But it also has some problems. Since group purchasing is nothing more than another form of online shopping, the nature of it is no different from other online shopping patterns. Problems that exist in online shopping also can be found in group purchasing, like deceptive² advertisements or poor after-sale services.

　　In my opinion, we should treat group purchasing as a way of shopping and nothing more. We must be careful not to buy something we don’t need only to follow the fashion.
