his Saturday, we had a great shopping time in Waterloo Outlet Mall! It was a big shopping center. There were many various stores one after another for clothes, shoes, perfumes, cosmetics and even food. The goods were much cheaper than similar ones in China. For example, you can buy a pair of Calvin Klein jeans at the price of only 40 dollars, whereas in China, it will probably cost 800 Yuan. It was a good deal.
However, when you see the labels inside the clothes, you will find that most of them are made in China. Besides clothes, the majority of commodities offered for sale in the United States are made in China. It reminds me of a prevalent word in the textbook- “outsource”. The American guys are so smart. They choose to outsource the departments of manufacturing in the company. It is a wise way to make good use of global resources, especially the cheap labor. Profit is the supreme drive, anyway. In addition, they do not pollute the environment in their own country. When you are in America, you will find the natural environment is very good. Everywhere is clean even in the countryside. Maybe this problem deserves to be considered.
