My mother showed no interest in the Internet and she did not want to learn how to operate the computer. Sometimes she wonders why my father and I are willing to spend so much time on the computer without a short rest at all. She asks me about the charm of network. I can not answer this abstract question and just give her a big smile as a respond. I think it is hard for her to understand what the Internet means to us. My father works on the computer to finish his task and communicate with his partner via MSN. I enjoy reading e-books and watching TV series online. But what confuses me is that my mother suddenly requires me to teach her how to use computer. Her unusual behavior raises my curiosity. At first, she seems unwilling to share her secret with me and just explains that she wants to kill time. Later, I get to know the fact that she envies her colleagues that they can buy cheap products through online shopping and this new purchasing method motivate her to learn. The first lesson is about how to order a pair of women’s prescription eyeglasses since her last pair is out of date.
I seldom do online shopping myself but I don’t think it is a complicated job for me. I spend some time searching the Internet for useful experience of buying eyeglasses online shared by other online shoppers. I think their description is valuable. Soon, I find an article written by an official woman at middle age. She once bought a pair of women’s prescription eyeglasses from an online store www.prescriptionglassesonline.net and she spoke highly of that pair as well as this store. According to her words, every customer could join the promotion activities launched by the store that if I order prescription eyeglasses during the period from March 20 to April 10, I can get a 10% discount with the coupon code [happyapril].
I trust her recommendation and log in the store directly. Just as she introduced in her article, the prescription glasses on the site are really of fashion design and reasonable price. Since I find such a good place, I ask my mother to make her own selection and teach her how to follow purchasing process step by step. That night, I complete two tasks: my mother is able to do online shopping independently; she finds a favorite type of eyeglasses on the site!
