Example
Advertising has become increasingly popular in recent years. While some believe it greatly aids in decision-making, others criticize it for being intrusive and deceptive. In my view, it has both positive and negative aspects in equal measure.
There are several disadvantages inherent in advertising. Advertisements, with the advent of the Internet, has been rising on an unprecedented scale. Pop-ups, flyers and billboards are virtually everywhere, and since we are simply unable to avoid seeing them, such advertising overload has been considered to be unwelcome intrusion rather than useful information. Furthermore, several ads attempt to tempt people into making unnecessary purchases. Every year, many people, under the manipulation of alluring and provocative ads, queue for the latest flagship phones, even though their old ones are still in perfectly good condition. Discarding things when they are still of good use is a huge waste of money and resources would. There are several disadvantages inherent in advertising.

However, advertisements and commercials are instrumental in promoting a new product to the market. Along with marketing, advertising plays a vital role in bringing fresh products and services closer to consumers who have not heard about them. Were it not for commercials, it would be very difficult for sellers to get their products to the market, and for buyers to be informed of new commodities. Also, in recent years, advertising has become very thought-provoking and educational. Messages of love, friendship, family core values, and environmental protection that are included in some commercials have been very well received by the audience.
To conclude, I firmly believe that advertising is harmful due to its intrusive and manipulative nature, yet it can also provide valuable information. Smart consumers are those who can see through advertisements and make informed purchasing decisions.Key Vocabulary
