Advertisement IELTS Writing P2

People are surrounded by advertising. This both affects what people think is important and has a negative impact on people's lives. To what extent do you agree or disagree?


At present, increasingly a number of advertisement exist in our life, and it plays a significant role in modern society. Such as business advertisement, medical advertisement or government advertisement. But some people think it is not only important for us but also has a lot of negative drawbacks for our lives. In my opinion, I agree on this topic.

Firstly, what is the importance of the commercials? I deem it is well-known that we focus on the business value of the advertising. And you would find it which has a variety of style in a wide range of media. Such as newspaper, magazine, TV program or website and so on. Because the commercial effects of advertisements would promote the sales of commodities,  then it also plays a crucial role in improving the economy and employment. In other words, the running of the social economy could not leave the advertising now.

Secondly, except the business effects of advertising. The public service advertisement is a kind of positive propaganda, which does not have the purpose of making profits. A host of public service advertisements advocates that we should protect the environment and to be a friendly person in this society or we should help each other etc. Therefore the advertising not only has the merit of business but also has the moral benefits.

Besides, it is undeniable that the advertisement still has some demerits. Since it is over frequently appear in our life, which disturbs our normal life. For instance, if you open a website, you would see a lot of advertising which shows the sales, and if you open the TV which just wants to take easy, you would see plenty of commercials which tells you the "truth" that you should buy this thing for your health. Briefly, we are overusing the advertisement.

Totally, we are living in the 21 century, we can not leave the advertisement since it brings a lot of benefits to us. But we could not only pay attention to those business benefits and profits, we should suitably utilize it, especially in the public service aspect.
