With the development of Internet technology, online shopping and online payment methods are becoming more and more mature. We only need a short time to complete online product browsing and purchase, so online shopping has developed rapidly in recent years. For international students, as young people, it is easy for us to accept new things, and most of us have the opportunity to contact and understand online shopping. It can not only help us save time and money to buy the right products, but also help We learned about product information in other places. For international students, it is necessary to understand online shopping and analyze the impact of online shopping on students' life.

This chart comparison of time spent in two shopping methods, we can see:

Nearly 34% people take sever days to buy a good when they go to physical , but only 15% people will do that, if they use online shopping.

This supports the hypothesis that online shopping can save time.

From the table and figure the goods which female and male prefer to buy online can be seen:

More than half people buy clothes shoes books food when they are shopping online. The majority of female (89.1%) chose buy clothes, it is about 20% higher than male.

Half of female like to buy cosmetics, but only 11.5% male buy that. For electronics, 65.4% male chose to buy that, it is 25.9% higher than female.

This project has been successful in meeting its aims as most of the results support the initial hypotheses “Online shopping has a greater impact on female international students than on men”; “International students tend to shop online because shopping online saves time” ; “Online shopping can alienate close relationships” and“International students who shop online always regret it”. In addition, it has highlighted new findings which can be used for future research topics. However, there are still some limitations to this research. Honestly speaking, the most difficult part is data analysis and drawing conclusions from it. It is suggested that these results might help to realize the influence of online shopping in presessional students’ life. It can be seen that in the future the life of international students can be improved if we can use well the online shopping.

From this pie chart we can see：

All of the international students buy things for themselves by online shopping.

About half international students use online shopping to buy things for their relatives(64.62%) and friends(55.38%).

This supports the assumption that online shopping may have influences on all aspects of international student life.

# data[].attributes.body
It can be seen that:

71% people feel regret after they online shopping, only 16.92% never feel regret about that. This supports the hypothesis that online shopping may have some bad influences on international students.

So it's necessary for us to continue to investigate the reasons.
