  2. +Personally, I think the instructions you provide your customers are too general and sometimes I find it quite difficult to follow your instructions. You should explain each step in more details. For example, you can provide where the customers can type specific names,keywords or browse for products instead of only giving what the customers should do.
    +Besides, there is some given information you need to check again:
    - In the first step, you tell customers to click the "Shop All Departments" but I can't find this button in this website. Perhaps it's "full store directory" button.
    - I don't think after typing specific product names, the customers need to browse "bestsellers" or " hot new releases". In my opinion, you should merge the third step into the second one to make the process logical.
    +There are also some points that make me difficult to understand, such as the sentence "Below the sections, you will see links to bargain pages and lists you can create and manage to improve your online shopping experience". What do you mean by "create and manage to improve your online shopping experience" ?
    + Next,I think the process to shop online is not completed. How can the customers pay for the products? You should mention the methods of payment in the process.
    + you need to remember that you are giving instruction to your customers, so you should avoid some words such as "must" (in conclusion). Also, the conclusion doesn't make sense to me. I'm not sure there's a connection between two clauses. And what do you mean by " make sure about the security of online community"?
    These are some comments of mine; I hope these can help you in the next version.

  3. Hi Thoan,
    After reading your essay, I have some comments below:
    - First of all, I agree with Dung that the steps you give readers are too general. I think you should give us more details in each steps so that readers can follow your instructions more easily.
    - Secondly, as Dung said, I can't find the "Shop All Departments" button. Or you mean the "Shop By Department" button? I found a similar between step 3 and step 2. In my opinion, they belong to searching for the products. So you'd better merge them into one step.
    - Thirdly, after reading this essay, I still don't know how to buy something on this website. Your essay doesn't give any instruction about how to add a product into the shopping cart, how to pay for the product and how the product will be shipped to customers.
    - Finally,your conclusion doesn't match the rest at all. Because in other parts, you don't mention anything about the security and then you just give readers some words about security at the end,I can't see the connection here.
    These are some thougts of mine after reading your essay. Hope that they are useful for you in revising you essay.
