Yes, they have
Model Answer
Definitely, people have started shopping online more in the last few years. It's really convenient to look at and buy things from home. With just a few clicks, you can find more products than before. For example, on big sale days like 'Singles Day,' many people choose to shop online because it's easier and they can avoid the busy crowds.
Idea 2
Partially, some aspects remain constant
Model Answer
Actually, a lot of people still like shopping in stores. There's something special about touching and seeing products yourself, and being able to take something home right then. Also, talking to store staff and the feel of the store is different from online shopping. For instance, during holidays, many people go to stores to enjoy the festive mood.
