Текст аудирования:
Interviewer: And today on the show we have Betty Nichols who is an online shopping expert ready to give our listeners online shopping tips. Betty, welcome to the show.
Betty Nichols: Thank you Robert.
Interviewer: Betty, first of all, what are the benefits of shopping online?
Betty Nichols: Well, I think the biggest benefit is that you can easily find the product you are looking for and shop for things in the convenience of your own home. The prices online are fairly reasonable and you can order what you need with a click of a button. That also saves travelling time to retail shops so you can spend your time on more important tasks or hobbies.
Interviewer: So how do auction websites work?
Betty Nichols: With most online auctions, you simply bid on an item and wait for another user to try and outbid you. If youtaskre the last user to place a bid on an item then you win it. Users dontaskt have to make a payment unless they are the winning bidder. Whattasks great about such sites is you choose the price you are willing to pay.
Interviewer: And what are the drawbacks of shopping online?
Betty Nichols: The biggest drawback is that you cantaskt actually try the clothing on and you cantaskt see the product up close to know what it looks like. Ittasks one thing to see a photo of it and another when you get it home and it doesntaskt fit or ittasks the wrong colour. Thattasks why you have to make sure that you go to sites that have a return policy.
Interviewer: That leads into my next question. What are some things people should be aware of when shopping online?
Betty Nichols: Well, you should be aware of what people are selling and make sure ittasks a secure site. You wouldntaskt want to go into a shady looking shop that didntaskt appear safe, so you shouldntaskt trust the online security on a website that doesntaskt feel quite right. You should check for expected delivery dates, shipping and handling fees, return policies and other important information.
Interviewer: Is it better to pay by credit card or debit card?
Betty Nichols: Ittasks important that customers understand the difference between the two. Theretasks a difference in how transactions are processed and the protection offered to people when they use them. While debit cards can be used for online purchases, using a credit card adds one more layer of protection, even though you are paying higher interest rates. If the worst does happen and your account information is stolen, then the most that they can do is run up charges on your card. With a debit card this would mean emptying your bank account.
Interviewer: Well Betty, is there anything else youtaskd like to add?
Betty Nichols: Yes. Itaskd like to warn people to be careful with their credit card statements. If you shop online, ittasks important to check your statements every month. Dontaskt just assume that your statement is correct because you dontaskt notice excess charges. Many times identity thieves will charge a small amount of money on your card one month to see if it works and then may not attempt to charge a lot of money until weeks or months later. So, if you notice any unusual charges ittasks best to check it immediately. Oh... and lastly. You should also keep your computers secure by downloading anti-virus programmes, or updating your browsers and securing your online connections. If your computer is up to date, you will minimise potential security threats.
Interviewer: Thank you, Betty. Thattasks all the time we have for today ...
