For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping - watching TV and buying things by phone.
Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In some
1 countries, people can turn on their
2 and shop
for clothes, jewelry, food, toys and
3 things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden.
4 , the biggest Swedish company sells different kinds
of things on TV in fifteen European countries, and in one year, it makes $10 million. In France, there are
two teleshopping channels, and the French
5 about $ 20 million a year in buying things through those
channels.
In Germany,
6 last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day.
Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can
7 for telebusiness, including the
largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German
8 are hoping
these will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without
9 . With all the
traffic problems in cities, going shopping is not an easy thing. But at the same time, other Europeans
10
like this new way of buying things. They call
11 "junk (垃圾) on the air." Many Europeans usually worry
about the quality (质量) of the things
12 on TV. They think high quality is the most important thing, and
they don't believe they can be sure about the quality of the things
13 .
The need of high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be
14 the American
companies. They will have to be more careful about
15 of the things they sell. They will also have to work
harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see by themselves.
