Task 1

        Nowadays, advertisements and commercials are an important part of our lives. We see them everywhere, on television, in newspapers or magazines, on public transportations and even on the streets. Advertising has great influence on us, and there are both advantages and disadvantages.

        Advertising is simply trying to pursuade consumers into buying something. So in order to sell their products, some advertisements may be dishonest and consumers often will be fooled. Ads may also have bad influence on children, since children are most likely to believe anything. Being a smart consumer, we should think twice before buying a product. After all, money is hard to earn.

        On the other hand, advertising also has some advantages. We can get the latest informations of new products or services, so we could spend money on what we really need. Consumers can also compare different ads on a product to choose the best brand, and it may save a lot of money.

        We often see lots of commercials on TV. Personally, I like to watch TV commercials very much. I think commercials are full of great and interesting ideas. Some ideas may be funny and humorous, and some commercials might even have jingles or slangs that are easy to remember. All of this just to attract more consumers. I think a lot of their ideas are very cute, so commercials might as well be an art.

        We have to admit, advertising plays an important role in our daily lives. Although there are disadvantages and even may have bad influences, but as long as we think smart and don’t take everything in, there will be more advantages than we think.
