Teen Shopping Habits in Vietnam
We interviewed three teens about their shopping habits. Read on to find the best tips.
Thanh, 16: “I like to shop at thrift stores. It's more fun and, of course, less expensive than
buying clothes in the shopping mall. And your clothes will be unique. Also, we already have
so much trash on our planet, so I don't think we need to buy new clothes. My top tip is to pay
attention to the brands. Some brands use quality materials, and if you see them at a thrift
store, get them quickly before someone else does.”
Vân, 15: “I buy most of my clothes from a local store near my house. I can walk there in just
a few minutes. It's much easier and less crowded than at shopping malls, and the customer
service is better. The sales assistants are friendlier and always give me good advice on what
to buy.”
Ngọc, 15: “I prefer to do my shopping at shopping malls. It's easier because my parents
don't have to take me to different stores. My advice is to be careful with money. Decide how
much you can spend,and don't spend more than that. Never buy things you don't need just
because they're on sale. My least favorite clothes are always things I bought just because
they were cheap.”

Exercise 10.Read the article and do the tasks that follow.
Shopping Online
Lots of people enjoy the benefits of online shopping. You don’t have to sit in traffic jams or
wait at bus stops or at train stations. Because online stores are open 24 hours, seven days a
week, you can sit at your computer and shop at your leisure. And you don’t have to collect
your product because they deliver it right to your door.
But shopping online isn’t all great - you need to be very careful when deciding what to buy
and where to buy it. Here are some tips for shopping safely online.
Use a secure connection
The easiest way of making sure the connection is secure is to look for the lock sign in the
address bar. Another is to look at the start of the website address. If this starts with “https”,
there is a secure connection because the letter “s” means “secure”. If you see ‘http’ with no
“s”, don’t enter the website or give your personal or bank details. It could be a false website
that is trying to steal your money or personal information.
Use a secure payment method
Only shop on sites that offer secure payment methods, like credit cards and other payment
systems. This gives you protection in a situation where you and the shop disagree - the shop
can’t say you did anything illegal, like using another person’s credit card to pay. Banks
usually contact you if they think something is wrong.
Create a strong password
A strong password is very important. It’s usually a good idea to change your passwords every
few months, just in case someone finds out what they are. Also, try to use a different
password for different online shopping sites: once someone guesses one password, they can
get access to everything you do online.
Check other customers' comments
Always check the seller’s history when using online sites. You can get an idea by looking at
other buyers’ comments. If you are not sure about a product, you can always send the seller
a question and the good sellers will reply fairly quickly.
Task 1. Choose the correct answers.
1. What is the purpose of the article?
A. to stop people shopping online
B. to help people save money when shopping online
C. to make people think twice before shopping online
D. to help people stay safe when shopping online
2. According to the author, what are the benefits of shopping online?
A. It’s much cheaper.
B. There is less travelling involved.
C. Payment time is much quicker.
D. There are more choices.
3. What does the author say you can do to make sure the connection is safe?
A. go to a website where you can check the address.
25
 .
B. contact the website by sending them a message.
C. look for a special icon on the screen.
D. look for the word ‘secure’ in the website address.
4. According to the author, why is it important to create a strong password?
A. so only you and the shop know your password.
B. so no one can guess your password and see everything you do.
C. so you can shop happily online with no worries.
D. so only you and the bank know your password.
5. Why does the author suggest you check other customers’ comments?
A. so we can see if the seller is honest.
B. because they explain everything about the product.
C. because the seller might not tell the truth about the product.
D. so we can talk to them about the product or seller.
