Online shopping has become very popular in recent years. It’s a brand new way for shopping, and at the same time, it saves money because items sold online are much cheaper. Therefore, customers from different countries are changing their ways of shopping. As for some wise men, they find another way to save much more money-using online coupons（优惠券）to shop. Online coupons enable them to get the items they want to buy much cheaper.

As we all know, sometimes manufacturers, shops, restaurants and entertainment clubs will provide special offers. For example, a shirt asks for $100, but if a coupon is used, the customers may get the shirt at $90. Sometimes, by using a coupon, one can luckily get a free product. Online coupons work in the same way; online shoppers get discounts by using online coupons.

In this case, you are advised to do some research to make sure whether there is a coupon or vouchers（代币券）concerned with the items you want to buy online. Then comes the point where to find online coupons. Usually there are three ways:

1. Find the official websites of the brands. To promote sales, some brands will offer online coupons on their own websites.

2. Visit the special coupon websites. There are special websites where coupons from many shops, restaurants and so on are gathered. Buyers input（输入）keys of coupons they are fond of, and thousands of related coupons in different cities in America will be listed. To narrow down your list, just click the district you are located in.

3. Pay attention to some social websites. To let more people know coupon information, some shops will show their information on social websites where a lot of online buyers visit.

Because information on the Internet often cannot be cleaned in time, much invalid information will be searched out. So when you find a proper coupon, please don’t get carried away. Read the information carefully, ensuring that they have not expired（失效）yet. If interested, you can visit Couponeed. com to find coupons and save money.

As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicted to their phones, completely ignored others.

This is really a common phenomena in our life. The reason is why phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health.  Moreover, people involving in phones fail to communicate well with those around us.

As far as I concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help with their work and study. Meanwhile, they should also care more about their family and friends rather than phones.
