I've learnt English basically only thanks to KZread videos, but not videos like BBC learning English, just funny videos and what not. I usually watch gameplay of videogames on KZread, so I decided to watch some in English, you should do the same obviously with whatever you like watching.

    Online shopping can be a problem for those who buy on a whim and whose credit card details are stored on their account so that all it takes is a moment to press the button and it's already been bought - without too much thought. We had a nice class discussion in my English lesson on this topic not too long ago and one of my students admitted buying one of my products on Black Friday because it only took him a second to press the button. He did not regret buying it, however!D

    I am a vampire shopper. I buy everything that i don't need too. It's not a good thing. It's the bad habit i have. Money should be kept sometimes. In my opinion we should find a way how to deal with our finance. Without it everything can be problematical. Wasting money is not the good decision. Saving it is more important. I think our behaviour is connected to our personalities. Impulsive people can waste their money a lot. Thanks BBC

    You know that something's not really a good idea, but something or someone persuades you to do it anyway. You knew that you would regret eating that second piece of cake, but everyone else had one, so you had one too. You got sucked into it...

    I am not a shopaholic, so can't be a vampire shopper, but surely I am an internet addict. It is clear that I have become an insomniac because every night I can't get to sleep easily. And since I often go to bed late at night and have to get up so early in the morning, I have become a sleep deprived person, which means I don't have enough sleep. I think the root cause of my sleeplessness is that I have gotten sucked into the Internet. I've been using the Internet too much, particularly Facebook and KZread , I guess. You know what? Whenever I get new likes or comments to my FB status, I can't resist the urge to check the new notifications on my phone and reply to the comments. I often do so because it is really a feel-good factor to me. Well, despite suffering from sleep deprivation, I have learned so much from the Internet. I don't think I should regret it.

    Good point. Although the meaning is clear here, 'thanks a lot' can often come across as negative or as a criticism. So, yes, 'thanks so much' would probably be a better way to phrase it. Thanks so much for helping us out with this explanation! 😜
