大龙：小咪，我刚才拿到了银行卡，你能教我网购吗？
吴小咪：当然可以。
你先在手机上下载“支付宝”，注册一个新账号。
大龙：好了，然后呢？
吴小咪：你点这里，绑定你的银行卡。
大龙：好了。
吴小咪：现在你可以下载“淘宝”，然后登录。
登录账号跟支付宝的一样。
大龙：现在可以买东西了吗？
吴小咪：跟你们美国的购物网站差不多。
你先搜索想买的东西，再点进去看看具体的内容，比如其他人的评价。
然后你可以点“购买”，或者你点左边，“加入购物车”，最后付钱。
对了，不要忘了填写你的地址。
大龙：我怎么才能知道这个东西好不好呢？
吴小咪：你看这里，可以选择按照“信用从高到低”展示产品。
一般来说，信用越高，产品质量越好。
除了看信用，你还可以看看其他人的评价。
大龙：让我试试。
我先搜“电动拖把”，价格就选两三百的吧，再选择按照信用排序。
这个看起来不错！
然后点进去看看评价，评价看起来都还不错。
小咪，你觉得呢？
我就买这个？
吴小咪：哎呀，大龙，你看这是“预售”，发货时间要半个月以后呢！
大龙：半个月？
这对我来说太慢了。
吴小咪：你换另外一个。
看，这家有现货，上面写着36小时内发货，而且发货地离我们很近。
大龙：听起来挺快的！
我来付钱。
快递几天可以到呢？
吴小咪：一般来说，三天左右。
现在快递比较快，经常一两天就到了。
大龙：网购真是又便宜又方便啊！
其他的购物网站也是这样吗？
吴小咪：跟淘宝一样，你也可以从别的地方买东西。
大龙：谢谢你！
下次我试试别的。
