Today more and more students like going shopping on the Internet. Do you have any ideas about it? Here are four girls' ideas.
Sandy, twelve
I like new skirts and jeans. At the weekend I usually go to the shops on the Internet. When I see my favourite things, I can pay for them by my credit card(信用卡).
Kitty, thirteen
I think it is very easy and cheap to buy things on the Internet. I only need to stay at home and choose the things I like. I can get them quickly without going out. It doesn't take too much time.
Wendy, eleven
I'm not good at computers. I never do the shopping on the Internet. I don't think it is interesting. When l want something, I ask my parents to buy it for me in the shopping mall.
Shirley, twelve
Shopping on the Internet is not good. I can only see some pictures about the things. I don't believe the notes near the pictures.

It's easy to just get fast food when you're hungry, but it can also be unhealthy and expensive. So I made my own food at home using healthy recipes(菜谱).
Trying new things
I tried some zucchini noodles. Zucchini isn't my all-time favorite, but I was surprised by how good this tasted.
Shaking up(重组) breakfast
Two more days until my healthy diet was over and I felt really good about myself. For breakfast, I had a banana sandwich. Don't let the term "sandwich" fool you. The banana actually works as the "bread".
At-home burrito
I found an easy burrito recipe. I needed black beans, garlic, tomatoes, lettuce and some other vegetables. What a great recipe for vegetables!
