Online shopping is popular. Some things online are cheaper, so it can help save money. So many people like online shopping.

But sometimes online shopping isn't as good as we think. You cannot see the real things and some sellers on the Internet aren't so honest (诚实的). And paying over the Internet isn't always safe. So you must be careful when shopping online. What should you do?

First, try to find a shop with an honest seller. Usually this kind of online shop has good things and the seller is nice. But if all the people say the shop is very            , you should also be careful. Any shop can't make every person happy.

Next, compare (对比) things in different shops before really buying. You should be wiseenough to know which one is good.

Then, have a right way to pay. The best way to pay is to use Alipay. After you are sure the thing is really good, you may use Alipay to give your money to the seller. If the product isn't good, Alipay won't pay the seller, but will give your money back to you.

Liu Zhiwei who studies oil painting at the College of Art, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, painted on a wall in his hometown, Daowu Village, Hunan Province.

COVID-19 has made life difficult and boring, but Liu has found a way to bring color into our lives.

Painting skills need daily practice, but students weren't allowed to go to school. Then Liu came up with the idea. Every sunny day, he finished three for four paintings. He spent about 40 or 50 minutes on each of them. In the past four months, he finished over 150 world—famous paintings on the wall. The wall has attracted(吸引) lots of visitors to take photos.

Many people said that it was a good way to beautify the streets in the countryside. After getting a lot of praise, Liu said, "I'm just doing a small thing. There are tens of thousands of art students who are better than me. "

Liu's project also caused some students to think over what they had done in the past months. An Internet user said, "I'm a college student too, but I only spent time on the mobile phone during the long holidays."

Liu said he would be happy if the wall became an inspiration(启发) for other places. He thinks if more art lovers do this in the countryside, it will make a difference to the countryside.

In fact, most villagers know little about arts. However, Liu said, "For me, art should not only appear in the gallery, but also be everywhere in our daily lives."

iPhone X was on sale in China at the end of October, 2017. However, many Chinese people didn't want to buy it because the price of iPhone X was nearly 9, 000 yuan. What's worse, Apple also faces many challenges from other kinds of phones in China, such as Xiaomi's Mix 2 and Huawei's Mate 10, because of their lower prices and better service. "Many Chinese phones can provide better experiences at a lower price. "Jia Mo said.
