Read the following passage. For each of the questions, write T if the statement is TRUE, F if the statement is FALSE and NI if there is NO INFORMATION on it.
Some adults think that because teenagers spend so much time online, they probably also shop that way. That isn’t actually true, at least for me and my friends. I buy some things online though, such as pens and notebooks, and I get computer games that way too. It’s very convenient, as I can order exactly what I want. There are no huge crowds of people to put up with either. And online stores don’t have closing times, so it’s perfect for me as a teenager who has lots of hobbies on the weekend. However, I never buy clothes or accessories online, as you can’t try anything on before you buy. Sometimes things look quite different in real life. A yellow jacket might turn out to be white. I like the social aspect of going shopping for clothes. I’d rather spend time with my friends in a shopping mall than sit at home in front of my computer. I also like buying electronic appliances from a local store. If the products have any faults, I can easily take them back to a shop assistant to ask for help. In the US, the best time for people who enjoy shopping at stores is Black Friday – the day after Thanksgiving. It’s typically a day full of special shopping deals and big discounts, and customers spend huge amounts of money. Stores and shopping malls open very early and shoppers often start queuing for bargains hours before the sales actually begin. Some people believe that teenagers are likely to shop online.
