Advertising: pros and cons
In the modern world,advertising is everywhere!
Some people think that ads are great.
Others hate ads,saying that they make our cities
and countryside look ugly.
Many ads are aimed specifically at teenagers,
and some young people see more than 100
advertisements a day.
It's true that some ads can be very useful.
For instance, they can help you to compare
two different products
so that you can buy the one you really need.
They can also help you save money.
When prices are listed,
you can go to the store with the lowest price.
Ads also tell you when stores are having sales.
However, some advertising can be confusing
or misleading.Sometimes the words sound good
but don't really tell you anything
about the quality of the product.
At other times, the picture in an ad
looks a lot better than the real thing.
So you have to be careful.
At times an ad can lead you to buy something
you don't need at all.
