Hi, Olga! That's Irina [speak|to speak|speaking]. I'm calling to tell you about the photos I've [find|found|founded]for our project on online and offline shopping. I've just sent them to you.

One of the photos [depicts|decides|directs]two girls doing online shopping. The [other|another|either]photo shows a customer and a shop assistant in a traditional shop. These photos are suitable [for|to|with]our project, as they show the same activity done differently—in a traditional way and [in|on|at]the internet.

[As|How|What]we can see, the two girls [examine|are examining|to examine]a photo of some shoes and discussing the shoes with each other. The man in the second photo is examining [the|a|]fabric of the suit he is going to buy and discussing it with the shop assistant. So, we feel that one [must|should|has]to be an independent and self-sufficient customer to shop online.

[Personally|Although|Naturally], both ways of shopping have their advantages and disadvantages. [For example|Secondly|Also], if you shop online, you don't have to go anywhere and can comfortably do that at any place you like. However, you can't control the transportation process, [who|which|what]means that your purchases might arrive damaged and you'll have to waste your time sending them back or replacing them. When you shop offline, you can examine the items you want carefully to [do|make|have]sure they are what you need. [So|Therefore|Yet], your choice is limited [to|for|of]the range of goods in your local shops which is not always satisfying.

[As for me|To begin with|Experts say], I prefer shopping online as it is more convenient and cheaper. However, when I [shop|will shop|shopping]for clothes, I still do it in a traditional way. But I believe that one day we will [can|be able|become]to try things on in a virtual fitting room and feel the fabric with the help of VR technologies.

[To start with|Well|Thirdly], that's all I wanted to tell you. Please, look at the photos and give [me|to me|mine]your opinion on them. Bye!
