　With numerous technological advances, various kinds of media have been well developed. As a result, an increasing number of people are fond of purchasing goods with the help of media, such as newspapers, radio stations, TV stations and the Internet.

As we know, there are always two sides to everything and shopping via media is no exception. On the one hand, it saves much time, money and effort to purchase goods through media since you don’t have to go to the shops in person. Besides, you can choose what you want from an enormous variety of goods on display. On the other hand, you may be cheated sometimes by the false information and suffer a considerable loss. hxw.red.

As far as I am concerned, shopping via media brings great benefits to our life and our economy on the whole. At the same time, we need strengthened supervision over the information released via media. In this way, we can gain more benefits from shopping via media and reduce the possible harm to a minimum.

Shopping via the Internet will lose the pleasure/fun/ of going shopping together with one’s family.

The quality of the items we buy on the Internet can not be guaranteed.

Sometimes consumers can not receive official invoices when they purchase items via the Internet.

The items we buy may be delayed on the way, which would cause some problems for us.

好学英文网提示：媒体购物也可以理解为电视购物或者是网络购物(这个比较牵强，但也可以仿照此文来写作)。
