Do the positive effects of advertising outweigh the negative effects?
选自《雅思考官写作》
Advertising is a sign of our times; it is everywhere, from my public to my private
life; from sms messages on my phone, to the back of toilet doors, to TV
screens in the supermarket, on the street and in elevators. But is it ever useful,
good for me, does it ever serve a purpose other than to tell me how pitiful my
life is without a certain product.
Advertising might be like medicine; not nice but necessary from time to time.
When we want to buy a new computer or go on a holiday some of us will do
two things; do some online research and then check out the best deals online
or in the papers. This works for us; we get the right information at the right time.
And we are grateful.
选自《雅思满分流利口语》
On another day we maybe be strolling in the street with our friends enjoying the
sunshine, but then a large TV screen jumps into life telling us the merits of a
certain shampoo, or a certain car model. This is intrusive, distracting and perhaps
even dangerous as it makes vision in the streets more difficult.
But advertising pays for things that I enjoy; it pays for the TV programs I watch,
the TV screens that help me pass the time on the public transport system, and
subsidises the newspapers I read online.
It however does seem that sometimes that there is too much, that it is too
pervasive, and too intrusive. Advertising is not something that can have its
advantage and disadvantages weighed; we have to live with it, but maybe some
respect for the consumers might be nice.
