背景介紹：

No.1 Overseas online shopping up
? ?Chinese consumers shopping from overseas online retailers using China’s electronic payment platform Alipay（支付寶） surged by 117% in 2012(the expenditure reached $85 billion). This was higher than domestic e-shopping, according to data released by Alipay, （國際在線） reported Tuesday. Zhejiang is ranked the top online overseas shopping province in terms of its purchasing power, followed by Guangdong, Shanghai and Beijing. These 4 provinces and municipalities account for half of the total overseas shopping in China. In addition, data shows that milk powder is the hottest product.
——China Daily

No.2 What are the consumers’ favorite products?
·Infant products especially infant formula milk powder（嬰兒配方奶粉）
·Electronic products
·Cosmetics and clothing

No.3 Purchase limits
? ?Several big chain supermarkets in Britain will limit the maximum purchases（最大購買量）of infant formula milk powder from this month on, following some countries such as New Zealand, Germany and Australia. Some people believe that the limits are directed against Chinese mothers who rush to purchase milk powder around the world.

話題：

?1 What do you think of this kind of panic purchasing? You can find out the reasons behind this phenomenon or just give some comments.
OR 2 Analyze the benefits and shortcomings of overseas online shopping. What are the potential problems?
OR 3 Is it Chinese buyers’ fault in terms of the purchase limits? Why?

范例1：

?As a dwelling female（宅女）, thanks to the development of e-commerce（電子商務(wù)）, I can choose what I need without going outside. Although I have never tried overseas online shopping, the feelings of those purchasers who have done it are fully understandable. No one will refuse to buy ideal products having excellent quality and reasonable price, especially when domestic products suffer trustful crisis and citizens have no confidence in them. However, every coin has two sides, sometimes those consumers will undertake risks, for the after-sales services may be absent. In addition, is it legal for consumers to buy things from foreign countries without paying tax? If plenty of expenditure is lost overseas all the time, how can we fuel our own economic growth with consumption? I really doubt it. What counts most at present, nevertheless, is improving the quality and safety of our own products.

范例2：

?Oversea online shopping has two sides. On the one hand, we can buy things safer and much cheaper. Milk powder scandal in China Mainland largely resulted in the mentioned crazy purchasing in Britain, which in part reflected the notorious food safety problems in China. Also electronic products as well as brand cosmetics are much cheaper and of higher quality. Famous websites have regular attracting sales promotion too. On the other hand, we are suffering its drawbacks. Since websites are not in Chinese, some customers may find it difficult to figure out the instruction as well as other information. Also, products arrive in longer period of time and may be lost during the transportation. In addition, it is inconvenient to return or exchange purchasing. Lastly, consumers face higher risk in paying through the Internet. Anyway, we cannot expect online shopping to be perfect.
