  Everyone"s at it, even my neighbors. I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn"t done an eBay deal. So, I decided to try my hand at online auction (网上拍卖). Buying for Beginners Sign up on www. eBay. co. uk. Most items (e.g. tables, computers and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with"Buy It Now" and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away. If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids (出价) for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish, you get an email telling you whether you have won the item. How to Pay Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a check or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card. Selling Made Simple If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my friends" advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid. The big Things in Life It"s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collectively sent by deliverymen. Check the ways of delivery before you bid. |

| [ ] |
| A. How to make payment online. B. Ways of making delivery online. C. How to use an online-auction system. D. Advantages of an online auction system. |

| Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don"t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they go to their friends for some ideas. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication (交际) is very important in children"s growing up, because friends can talk about something, and these things are difficult to say to their family members. However, parents often try to choose friends for their children. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions? Who choose your friends? Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don"t like? Your answers are welcome. |
