Organization,It is a magazine or newspaper article for general readers,So What requirements does this article have?,1.Easy to understand for general readers,2.Easy to get the main point,Understandable title,Easy examples or anecdotes,Topic sentence directly,Some problem solution mode,Raise a question,Analyze it,Solve it,Retail Therapy or Shopaholism,1,Linda is coming out of the department store with five,or six bags.Shes smiling,broadly,looking,for all the,world,like,Carrie,in,Sex and the City,even though shes,not in New York but in London,England.“When I see,something I like,I have to buy it,”she says,“I have to,get every single colour.But my real weakness is shoes.”,Text,Comprehension,2,Back home in Manchester,Kate has two dozen,bags of clothes in her bedroom,all with the,label,s still,attached.“I usually wear the same clothes to work,so,that my colleagues wont realize how much is hidden away at home,”she confesses.,3,Carina in London goes to the mall five or six times a week.,“I get a real buzz when I hand over my credit card,”,she says.,“Theres nothing comparable to the feeling of power and importance I get when I go shopping.”,4,So is this retail therapy,or is it more like shopaholism?Most people like to go shopping sometimes,but its not good when someone loves shopping so much that they go into debt or worse,bankrupt.,And the signs are shoes which have never been worn or clothes which are still wrapped.,5,Psychologists see shopaholism as an addiction which can benefit from treatment.The symptoms include behaviour which is adapted to avoid reality,a loss of control,an,illusion,of freedom,or a,combination,of all three.And of course,temptation is everywhere.If you dont have time to go to the mall,there are many other ways,to shop till you drop,such as home shopping on the television,mail order catalogues and buying online.,6,And the result?Financial problems,shame and regret.,7,Research suggests that shopaholism is a global,problem,claiming,that 90 per cent of shopaholics,are women.,Its estimated that in all,10 per cent of,all women around the world are affected,each with,average debts of 8,000.,It usually begins in their early,20s when they have their first job and are earning,money for the first time,and gradually over the next few,years,the debts accumulate.Men can also be addicted,to shopping,not for clothes but for cars,tools and,electronic goods.,8So why do we love shopping so much?One reason is that shopping appears to be attractive and exciting.Its estimated that the fashion-conscious,Victoria Beckham,spends,100,000 yearly on shopping.,Sarah Jessica Parker,the actress who plays Carrie in,Sex and the City,admits to owning about 100 pairs of,Manolo Blahnik,shoes,each pair costing somewhere between$300 and$1,000.So-called WAGs(wives and girlfriends of footballers)became famous during the 2023 World Cup in Germany when six of them spent 57,000 on clothes and shoes in just one hour.,9,Another reason is that many 18-to 24 year-olds shop to reduce stress.Sometimes lonely,anxious,angry or lacking in love,a typical shopaholic comforts herself with shopping excursions,proving to the world that“Shes worth it.”A further factor is the,ease,of obtaining credit today.Before the 1970s everyone used cash to buy everything,and women couldnt even borrow money on their own.But today its the norm to have a credit card,and its,acceptable,to be in debt.Whats more,using a credit card doesnt feel like spending real money.,10So what can you do if you think youre a shopaholic?First,you need to admit you have a problem.Loo,k,for reasons why you like shopping so much.Are you,shopping because something else is missing in your,life?Are your relationships in need of attention?Is your,marriage in a bad way?Did your parents value material,goods more than emotions?Then you need to find some,other activity which gives you pleasure.And finally,when,you have to go shopping,make a list of what you need,and dont buy anything else.Pay with cash and destroy,all your credit cards,except one for emergencies which you should give to a friend to look after for you.,11,Linda,Kate and Carina are not exceptions.,Theyre,like many women all over the world,all with stories,which have a happy beginning but end in despair.And,like all addicts on the road to recovery,they take it one,day at a
