In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, food, toys and many other things.Tele-shopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kind of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany, until last year tele-shopping was only possible on one channel for l hour every day. Then the government (政府) allowed more tele-shopping. Other channels can open far tele-business, including（包括） the largest American tele-shopping company and a 24-hour tele-shopping company. German businesses are hoping this new tele-shopping will help them sell more things.Some people like tele-shopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes.
