Shopping on the Internet is becoming more and more popular. Why do people use the Internet to shop? Some people say it is more convenient.

Still other people say they can find better prices on the Internet.
If you want to buy something on the Internet, you need a credit(信用)card. You have to type your credit card number and information on the website(网页) and send them to the store over the Internet.
