In movies, People (people) tend to relate alcohol to violence. Recently, people can see the alcohol brands in the movie much (more) easily compared to the past.
A public policy researcher suggested that alcohol company companies pay the movie (producer) for the appearance. For From the research (or "The research reveals"), there’s over 92% chance the audience can see the alcohol images in the movie. Even though it’s a family type of movie, there’s nearly 50% of film containing alcohol images. In the 1998 settlement, the largest tobacco companies agreed that they’re not going to fund the products in the movie. After that, the percentage of the depiction of smoking and tobacco brands dropped by 50% in movies. Sargent says that if alcohol companies could obey the same rule, there would be a significant drop of in alcohol images in movies.
According to the surveys in the US, students who have watched the films containing alcohol are more likely to consume alcohol products. If the survey were done in Europe, it would be much higher since most of the movies in Europe contain alcohol use.
According to the research by Russel, a marketing professor, he thinks that companies know that they can avoid the regulation easily if they show images in the movie. He had a research showing His research reveals that teenagers have a tendency to have a good impression of alcohol if there’s a storyline suggesting that drinking can lead to some benefits. Therefore, the professor thinks that alcohol depiction in movies is considered a problem in nowadays today's society. He suggests that teenagers should be educated in the subliminal messaging so they can be more aware of that it (1). He hopes that movie industry can focus more on the influence of alcohol so that parents can keep track of their kids.(1) He suggests that teenagers should be educated in subliminal messaging do they can be more aware of their effects.

1. Which is better to live in? House or apartment?
If I were to choose between two them (or "between the two) , I'd probably go with an apartment. Some people may disagree with me, but as far as I'm concerned living in an apartment is more convenient. Also, if you're a low-income worker (or "earner") and planning to buy yourself an accommodation, an apartment will be the best choice for you as an apartment is cheaper than a house. I would say that the benefits of an apartment is far outweighed by a house.
2.Pros and cons of an apartment vs a house.
A positive aspect of living in an apartment is the security systems. Apartments usually come with a security guard and CCTV as this can reduce crime rates. Besides, house cleaning for an apartment is way easier than a big house. If you're a sloppy person like me, I bet you would rather clean an apartment than a house. A negative effect of living in an apartment is it's too close to your neighbour. You might experience find that your neighbour keeps spying on you, or concerned about interfere in your private life as if they are one of your family members. This might get on your nerves and you'll feel like you lost your freedom. If you prefer to have a private life, living in a house is much better. An advantage of living in a house is that you can keep your dog with you as many apartments are not allowed to do not allow you keep your a pet in it. Moreover, you'll no longer facing an annoying neighbour and can have your own freedom. A disadvantage of living in a house is the sky-high cost. Unless you're a high-income worker earner, buying a house can literally use up your savings account. Make sure that you can really afford a house and think twice before you buy it. To sum up, both apartment and house have their pros and cons and it really depends on your living habits. So just follow your heart and choose your own favourite living style!Hi Maureen,
I loved reading your composition! You have a great writing style! If this is true life, you've certainly had some entertaining neighbors!
You composition has a great introduction, good arguments and a good summation.

Hi Jack,Long time no see. How are you doing？
I would like to give you a ticket of to the Jay Chou concert. He is one of the most popular singers in Taiwan and will held hold a concert here in Beijing at 19:00 on July 6, 2018. His concert tickets were so hard to obtain that I stayed had to stay up several nights to check when they were available online again and again. I finally bought one ticket at on the fifth day after the booking is open opened. The ticket is at the seat 3, row 3 on the first floor. The seat is perfect, close enough to watch and just in front of the stage.
However it is so a pity that I have to go to Shanghai this afternoon for business trip. I couldn’t come back by this weekend. I remember you loved listening to his songs when we were at university. I want to give you my ticket but wonder if you have time to go the concert.
If you do, please contact me a.s.a.p. I will leave the ticket to my college with my colleague and give you his contact. So you can meet him to get it.
Yours,
Richard

It was too hot yesterday! Though summer Summer just has come, I can't wait for Autumn.
I went to the English school; studying English is so much fun! My teacher is an American, she is very Enthusiasm enthusiastic. And In addition, my classmates are humorous. I'm looking forward to going to school every weekend.
Besides English, I'm studying Chinese. There're There are many English classes nearby but there aren't any Chinese class, therefore I've studied Chinese by myself for long time. I've been thinking that I want to be a Chinese teacher, but I found this "italki" on the internet finally! <-- Note 1.You're all my teachers, classmates, and friends! I'm happy to meet all of you!
----------------------------------------
Well done Mimi, well written and totally understandable.
Note 1 - I've been thinking that I want a Chinese teacher, but I found this "italki" on the internet finally!
You have two ideas here (1) I've been thinking that I want a Chinese teacher and (2) but I found this "italki" on the internet finally!
I understand the connection between the two phases. You have used a conjunction "but", implying that you thing you want a Chinese teacher but now, you don't need to find a teacher because you found italki.
You could rewrite this as follows, "I've been thing that I want to find a Chinese teacher, but since I finally found "italki" on the internet, that wont't be necessary.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
