     Nowadays, a brand new way of shopping is attracting increasing customers: online group buying, also
known as collective buying, which offers products and services at reduced prices on the condition that a
minimum number of buyers would make the purchase. Origins of group buying can be traced to China
where group buying or team buying was executed to get discount prices when a large group of people
were willing to buy the same item
     China group buying transaction volume hit US$ 1.74 billion (RMB 11 billion) in 2011, up 550% from
the same period in 2010, according to a report by Tuan800.com <http://Tuan800.com>, the
Beijing-based daily deal sites aggregator. The report also shows that 2011 was the year that the Chinese
Group-buying market got more and more concentrated with more and more Chinese ,most of whom are
white collars,teenagers and college students enjoying the benefits of group buying. And, among the most
favorable buying categories are restaurant,movie and hotel booking for travelling.
    Through group buying, on one hand, customers get a lower price than normal. On the other hand,
businessmen also cut down expenses on marketing. That is the reason why group buying websites spring
up like mushrooms in recent months. What is the most attractive in group buying must be the unbelievable discounts. Facing the discounts, customers always couldn’t resist the impulse to buy the products, even
though they do not need them.

Answer 1

     The passage introduces the concept of group buying and its origins .Group buying developed rapidly
and became more and more popular in China, resulting from the discounts given.
     From my point of view, the advantages of group buying are obvious. For one thing, by cooperating
with each other we can buy whatever we want without going out and get the most satisfactory goods at
the lowest price. For another, manufacturers can sell goods on a larger scale and reduce marketing
expenses.
     Last week,I surfed a well-known group buying website for two film tickets. With only 30 yuan, I got
the tickets as well as two bottles of green tea which saved me so much. It was a very nice experience.
     As for suggestions for group buying, firstly, you should read the advertisements and the comments
from other customers carefully. Secondly, buy with clear purpose no matter how cheap it is.Thirdly, it is
better to shop on famous and reliable websites to avoid being cheated by some cheating websites.
