فِي المَتْجَرِ يَقُولُ الزَّبُونُ: أُرِيدُ قَمِيصًا أَزْرَقَ، مَقَاسِي مُتَوَسِّطٌ. يَسْأَلُ البَائِعُ: بِكَمْ هَذَا؟ فَيُجِيبُ: السِّعْرُ خَمْسُونَ رِيَالًا، وَعَلَيْهِ تَخْفِيضٌ اليَوْمَ. يَشْتَرِي الزَّبُونُ القَمِيصَ وَيَدْفَعُ بِالبِطَاقَةِ.

Paper 2 — Reading

يُفَضِّلُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ التَّسَوُّقَ عَبْرَ الإِنْتَرْنِتِ لِأَنَّهُ سَرِيعٌ وَمُرِيحٌ، وَيُمْكِنُ مُقَارَنَةُ الأَسْعَارِ بِسُهُولَةٍ. لَكِنَّ آخَرِينَ يُحِبُّونَ الذَّهَابَ إِلَى المَحَلَّاتِ لِيَرَوْا المَلَابِسَ وَيُجَرِّبُوهَا قَبْلَ الشِّرَاءِ. لِكُلِّ طَرِيقَةٍ مَزَايَاهَا.

أُحِبُّ المَلَابِسَ المُرِيحَةَ مِثْلَ القَمِيصِ الأَزْرَقِ وَالبَنْطَلُونِ. فِي الشِّتَاءِ أَلْبَسُ مِعْطَفًا دَافِئًا. لَوْنِي المُفَضَّلُ هُوَ الأَخْضَرُ لِأَنَّهُ جَمِيلٌ وَهَادِئٌ. أُفَضِّلُ التَّسَوُّقَ فِي المَحَلَّاتِ لِأَنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُجَرِّبَ المَلَابِسَ وَأَرَى المَقَاسَ قَبْلَ الشِّرَاءِ. لَكِنَّ التَّسَوُّقَ عَبْرَ الإِنْتَرْنِتِ مُرِيحٌ أَيْضًا لِأَنَّهُ سَرِيعٌ وَفِيهِ تَخْفِيضَاتٌ كَثِيرَةٌ.
