task 2 Some people argue that consumers buy lots of goods they don’t actually need because they are influenced by advertisements. To what extent do you agree or disagree with statement? An on-going issue these days is whether it is necessary for consumers to buy extra goods which don’t need actually due to the advertisements. People, however, hold various opinions if it is a blessing or curse. As for me, I am prone to go along with the attitude that advertising plays a crucial role in our society. For one thing, advertisements are what allow people to know the functions of products. Many contents including appearance, price and functions are broadcasted through advertising. You do not know how useful the useless product is until you watch the advertising. It can become a guider of shopping for people. For another, purchasing unnecessary goods is proved to be that citizens have more abilities to live a better life. Unlike old China, the purpose of living is just the satisfaction of eating. However, citizens’ actions about shopping extra goods through watching advertisements can reflect that they are much richer. On the other hand, it also has some negative effects. For instance, resources including not only the natural materials, but also the time and finance on researches are wasted if we buy these useless goods but put them away. In addition, people will lose belief about the advertisements with the increasing of unnecessary products’ advertising. Everything has its two sides. To sum up, though there are some disadvantages about this issue, the trend of social’s developing is to improve citizens’ living standard and capability of purchasing.
