ielts Task 2 hope somebody can correct the following article for me.Thx, sincerely. Question: Today the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising and not the real needs of the society in which they are sold. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Answer: It is true that advertisement persuades consumers to buy products. While some of these goods are not worth to waste our money, I personally believe that most products could be useful for us. One the one hand, sometimes advertising manipulates people to consume goods that they do not need. It is not uncommon that producers employ glamourous people to sale their new products such as luxurious bags and supercars. For certain reasons, for example, in favor of the celebrities or to show off their higher states in the society, there is a large amount of customers buying such luxury. Moreover, some producers are also good at selling their brand images. They emphasis the innovation and hard quality of the products, but they neglect the use values for customers, they do not care whether the consumers would use it or not. On the other hand, there are also some advertising providing a variety of choices to us. Different manufacturers advertise their latest and best but same type of products to specific groups of users, and they might emphasis their exclusive functions. Game consoles, for instance, consoles of this generation outdo their rivals in their own areas, Nintendo Switch is small enough to easily carry away, while Sony Playstation 4 PRO boasts the most powerful performance which make 4K display possible, players can compare the products via advertisement and choose their perfect consoles. If we do not have advertisement, we would miss the opportunities to choose the goods that fit us most. In conclusion, some luxury advertisement may blind consumers and make them waste money, but most of them can help us choose the right products.
