<i><b>English and correct them </b></i>

Many Americans enjoys saving time. One way they’re found doing this is by shopping from
home – by phone or e-mail. Home – shopping is a big business these days, and it’s getting
biger. In most cities, you can watch TV channels that advertise 24 hours a day. The products
they advertise can be order by calling a toll- free “800” telephone number and use a credit
card. The products are then sent directly to the customer home. What could be easier ? Using
mail- order catalogs makes to buy gifts from home easy. From apples to appliances, books to
bathing suits, compact discs to camping equipment, there’s almost nothing that can’t be orders
by mail. Last year more than five billions catalogs are mailed to Americans, and over forty
billion dollar’s worth of products were bought from them. It’s expected that by the year 2020
more than one-three of all merchandise sold in the U.S. will be sold by mail.
