Tourism: how to balance benefiting and bruising modern society.
The term Tourism was first used officially in 1937 by the League of Nations, predecessor of the United Nations. As a highly lucrative industry with one of the worlds fastest development rates, tourism has been redefined more than 20 times by government bodies, travel organisations and of course the tourists themselves.
This article will explore the resources gained through global tourism, the negative impacts it causes as well as the policies implantedto ensure protection of tourist destinations and their inhabitants.
The idea that society needs to engage in more responsible tourism was first recognised internationally at the 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio, Brazil, where 182 governments adopted Agenda 21. The first of its kind to attain international cooperation, Agenda 21 declares that:
Tourism should contribute to the conservation, protection and restoration of the Earths ecosystems
Environmental protection should constitute an integral part of the tourism development process, and
Tourism development should recognize and support the identity, culture and interests of indigenous peoples.
Ten years later the UN assigned as the International Year of Ecotourism. Ecotourism is a modern term for responsible leisure travel that conserves the environment and welfare of communities in a tourists host country.
~The Benefits~
Global tourism employs over 200 million people, accounting for approximately 10% of the total international income of US$500 billion. It supports families that would otherwise suffer, for example, the aftermath of the Bali bombings in 2002 resulted in hundreds of local families without food on the table because tourists, too scared to return or travel to Bali, stopped needing the services of the average working men and women. This is especially important for rural areas and third world countries in need of urgent income.
Tourism, , promotes environmental values and provides funding for countries to ensure preservation of their natural resources by placing environments under a foreign spotlight. There are many examples of tourist sites that encompass preservation of biodiversity, for instance: the laws preventing visitors from removing flora and fauna in the Great Barrier Reef, and those laws that protect hundreds of trees of cultural and historical significance in Redwood National Park, USA. This aspect improves the welfare of wildlife habitats and residents of places with frequent visitors.
Tourism can be very beneficial for locals, as it provokes communities and their governments into maintaining and investing in clean and safe public infrastructure, as well as keeping transport reliable. For example, the Gold Coast in Queensland is constantly funded to keep its beaches clean, so it can continue to attract tourists from all over the world.
~The Bruises~
Tourism negatively impacts environments and their people from the highest mountain to the deepest cave. Many of these impacts affect one aspect and the other is affected as a consequence.
To begin, tourist accommodation requires land that can sometimes belong to or have significance for an indigenous group. When traditional landowners are forced to relocate, their resentment towards the invading visitors sometimes means that they refuse to display their way of life including art, rituals and beliefs. This results in the diluting of culture and creates a lack of understanding, and therefore appreciation, of different lifestyles and environments. We need this understanding in order to protect the cultures and their knowledge, for instance, medical uses of certain plants.
Communities that reject exploitation of their culture are often sucked dry of their resources and businesses in order to make way for hospitality facilities. For example, in Malaysia, 29 local stores were forcibly shut down to clear land for a tourist accommodation development.
As for the environment, tourism ultimately creates a massive decline in biodiversity and also causes problems such as erosion, deforestation and pollution.
Take Jamaica, for example. Only a few short years ago, Jamaican beaches were lined with sand dunes that supported root systems for vegetation and created protective barriers against flood and erosion. Nowadays, hotel, road and restaurant construction, as well as intensified use of public beaches has caused the dunes to disappear.
Negligence on the behalf of tourists has put the existence of plant and animal life in jeopardy. Thoughtless activities including stealing wildlife for souvenir purposes and littering can cause changes such as loss of habitats or food sources for animals and changes in soil nutrients for plants. Tourists seeking a challenging or adventurous holiday may have no idea what their leisurelybreak is doing to the environment and business of the local people. For example, tourists who climb over Uluru in Central Australia speed the process of eroding the monumental land feature. Those who climb Mount Everest are often guilty of leaving behind litter such as oxygen tanks and camping equipment which damages habitats. In pacific or tropical island countries, such as Cuba and New Caledonia, tourists who want prime coastal locations have second homes or resorts built on beaches were turtles come ashore to lay eggs.
To preserve the wonders of our planet we have been privileged to experience, we need to take more consistent and efficient action, and soon! The following are some ideas or developing plans to lower the negativity tourism brings, reward progress and heighten the advantages the industry presents for all.
~Balancing the Pros and Cons~
Ways in which tourism companies, communities and individual tourists can make a difference.
*Create higher fines for littering in the bush, at beaches, cultural buildings, etc.
*Invest in less invasive methods of enjoying forests such as boardwalks and cable cars
*Educate both the tourists and the host communities; make them aware of the impacts a holiday can create if the future is not regarded with priority
*Support local businesses
*Involve all community members in decision making
*Respect the social and cultural practices of host communities and abide by their laws and routines
*Advertise natural attributes, eg. coral reefs, rather than cultural ones, eg. theme parks, to create more incentive for the unique features
*Award annual prizes to companies around the world that practice ecotourism and provide low impact, culturally appropriate and environmentally benign tourism operations
Modern lifestyle has transformed holidaying from a luxury to a necessity. The business of showing of the places and activities we see and do everyday to an audience of awestruckforeigners for more money that its worth is to blame for impacting our own lives, environments and ecosystems. Although we all deserve some relaxation, society as a whole needs to pull their act together and stop abusing the privilege of enjoying unfamiliar culture and cuisine. Now is the time to reassess the balance of benefiting and bruising modern society.
Theres a saying in Asia: Tourism is like fire; you can cook your supper with it, but it can also burn your house down.

托福独立写作模板:英文例文
I think it’s better for college students to live on-campus their first two years, and then move into an apartment off-campus life, while juniors and seniors need the independence of off-campus life. Students’ needs change over four years, so their housing should too.
Living on-campus makes it easier to get oriented to the way things are done. You get the whole university experience. Plus, you interact more with other students. This includes not only your roommates, but everyone in your dormitory. The older students in the dormitory can be a big help for the new students. Keeping up with studies your first year is hard enough. You shouldn’t have to worry about finding your way around and figuring out the university bureaucracy.
Living in the dormitory also makes a student feel more a part of the university community. There are more opportunities for becoming involved in university activities and networking with students and university administration.
Living off-campus, however, is a definite advantage for older students. Finding an apartment, dealing with leases and the landlord’s regulations, cooking meals, and figuring out budgets are all good practice for life after graduation. This kind of independence helps older students grow in adulthood.
Off-campus housing also gives students a better perspective on what’s going on around them. Campuses can be like little worlds of their own. There are few children or older people and everyone is focused on education. Getting to know neighbors who aren’t students is good for students coming from different places. It’s a chance to find out what other people think and feel.
I think a combination of two years on-campus and two years off-campus is a winning combination for most students.

托福独立写作模板:学生打工好吗?
In some countries, teenager have jobs while they are still students. Do you think this is a good idea? Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details.
I don't think it is a good idea for teenagers to have jobs while they are still students. It can interfere with their studies, it can disrupt their home life, and it takes away part of their childhood that they can never replace.
Education today is very complex and difficult .In order to learn and get good grades, a student must work very hard and concentrate. This means attending classes from early in the morning until late afternoon, then doing research for projects, then going home and doing homework. It’s a busy schedule for everyone. For someone trying to hold down a job, it’s even harder. Students need all their energy for their studies. If they're working after class at night, they’re going to be tired the next day. They won't be able to concentrate. This will have a negative impact on their learning, and eventually on their grades.
Having a job can also disrupt a teenager's home life. Families spend less and less time together. If a teenager has a job to go to after school, he won't be home for dinner. He won't be home after dinner either, and may not get home until late at night, This means he doesn't have a lot of time to spend with his family .If he doesn't have a car, it can mean changes in his parents' schedule ,too. They have to drive him to work and pick him up.
The main drawback of a teenager having a job while he's still a student is that he's missing out on the fun of being young. He has a whole lifetime in which he'll have to earn a living. This is the last free time he'll have, It’s the last chance he'll have to hang out with friends and just enjoy himself. Soon enough he'll have to worry about paying the rent and buying food.
Jobs bring money, but money isn't everything. A teenager with a job gives us too much. No one should spend all his time at working, and especially not a teenager

托福独立写作模板:你同意早教吗
Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?
有些人认为儿童在很小的时候就应该开始接受教育,将大部分时间花在学校里;有些人则认为儿童应该尽情得玩。比较这两种观点,你同意哪个?并解释为什么。
Should children play more or study more? The question is what will be better for the child. There are benefits to both activities, but the answer depends on the details of the situation.
There are many things that could affect the outcome of the argument. What kind of a school is it? It could be a school where children sit at their desks all day long memorizing dates and facts. Or it could be a school where the teacher helps the children learn what they want to learn. I think the second kind is a lot better for a child than the first kind.
Similarly, what kind of play are we talking about? The child could be alone all day long watching television, which could make him or her bored and lonely. Or the child could be involved in group activities with neighborhood children of the same age, which could help him or her learn how to get along with others.
I think both study and play are valuable, so I would prefer to send my child to a school where there is a combination. I think a variety of activities makes learning easier for anyone at any age.

托福独立写作范文:年轻孩子爱体育运动
Some young children spend a great amount of their time practicing sports. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Most kids love to play sports. It’s important to them, but for the majority, it’s just one type of activity out of many that they do. For a small number of kids, though, a sport becomes their whole life. They spend almost all their time and energy practicing. This has both advantages and disadvantages.
Sports are good for young children in many ways. Kids who enjoy sports are likely to have better health. They develop good habits of daily exercise that will keep them healthy as adults, too. Today, many children and adults are overweight, but those who love sports stay in shape. Plus, by developing their physical abilities, they will learn how to work hard towards a goal. Their achievements in sports will make them feel good about themselves. They’ll also make friends and learn teamwork. Sports, whether a little or a lot, can have positive effects.
We admire the talent and dedication of young athletes, but we also wonder if they’re losing something. Their focus is very narrow. If they devote most of their time to sports, are they neglecting schoolwork? What about other interests? Children should try out many different activities. In addition, many young athletes are pressured by parents or coaches to succeed. Kids whose drive comes from inside usually do okay, but others can be unhappy and have health and emotional problems. So sports, like anything else in excess, can have negative effect too.
When I was young, I liked books and hated sports. I saw other people who loved sports and hated school. Now that I’m older, I’ve found a better balance. People have to figure out what’s right for them. Is there such a thing as too much sports? There is no right answer, because there is no “right amount.” Everyone is different.

1. The effect advertising has on our society may be subtle, and most of us remain unaware of how it molds us to fill in the particular company’s needs.
advertising is useful for a host of things, from selling products, to putting public announcements on the air, some of the effects are detrimental as they can intentionally misrepresent “real” people in their commercials.
雅思写作范文:
The extent to which people are influenced by advertisements can be measured in terms of the high sales of popular consumer goods, many of them being unnecessary or completely useless. Mainly through the media, advertisements on products and services are able to penetrate the public mind with half truth and half lying. In many cases, consumers are becoming so greedy that they are not only buying things they really do not need but also spending the money they do not have.
人们受广告影响的程度可以用流行消费品的高销量来衡量,其中许多是不必要的或完全无用的。主要是通过媒体,产品和服务上的广告能以半真半假的方式渗透到公众的思想中。在许多情况下,消费者变得如此贪婪,以至于他们不仅购买了他们真正不需要的东西,而且还花了他们没有的钱。
Although advertising gives people a chance as consumers, actually most advertisements tend to cause them to desire for something worthless. Under such circumstances, it is easy to change people's need into greed. So much so, they are constantly encouraged to want things--want this and want that. This human behavior is haunted by the media from all fronts: on radio, on television, and online, not to mention printed circulations such as newspapers and magazines. Obviously, a great number of “impulsive” buyers are persuaded under the illusion that new products or services could make a difference in their lives. Despite all the benefits of the free market economy, the effects of unreliable advertising are particularly negative in that the power of advertising does not reflect the real needs of the society in which products and services are sold.
Some people think that it is important to use leisure time for activities that improve the mind, such as reading and doing word puzzles. Other people feel that it is important to rest the mind during leisure time.
Model Answer:
It is generally accepted that we all need leisure time to recover from the stresses of work and everyday life.
Personally, I prefer to be active during this time, as I think this suits me better. However, what we do with our leisure time is up to us and no one can say that any particular activity is the best.
Some people relax by watching movies, reading or surfing the internet. People who have physically demanding jobs may choose these types of activities. If you are a nurse or builder, you may feel that you don't want to do a five-kilometre run after work, because you are already physically tired.
Other people do very sedentary jobs. Computer analysts, for example, may spend all day sitting in front of a computer screen. At the end of the working day, they may be keen to stretch their limbs and improve their health by swimming or going to the gym.
Another factor that influences our choice of leisure pursuit is where we work. People who work indoors often prefer outdoor hobbies, whereas for people who work outdoors, the reverse may be true. I am a student myself and this involves a lot of sitting in lectures, so I need to get out into the fresh air afterwards.
In any situation, the important thing is that people need to stay healthy by choosing what is best for them. The only wrong way to spend free time, in my view, is to have a sedentary job and then go home and watch television.

In many countries, women are allowed to take maternity leave from their jobs during the first months after the birth of their baby. Do the advantages outweigh disadvantages?
高分范文
In some countries, women are privileged to have a time-off lasting for several months after they give birth to their babies. From my perspective, the benefits of this dwarf the drawbacks.
Taking several months away from work tends to have a favourable influence on the primiparas involved. The key reason lies in the fact that the maternity enables these women to embrace the precious time to recover after suffering months of pregnancy and unbearable pain of delivering a baby. Thus it is likely for them to refresh themselves, which is the prerequisite for them to continue the work and cope with the challenges in later life.
As well as the benefits to the new moms, their infants can also be affected positively if their mothers are granted with the maternity leave. In the first few months after the baby comes to the world, they are vulnerable to various diseases and thirsty for the breeding. As a result, the care and company from their mothers seem to be indispensable.
There are, however, certain disadvantages in taking time-off. These female workers may find their positions to be replaced by the successors. When they return to the company after the break, they tend to earn less and enjoy fewer promotions compared with before. They will encounter more difficulties in climbing up the career ladder. However, in my view, these problems are less likely today and there is much that can be done to address these issues constructively. The government should enact laws to ensure women can hold the previous position and their salaries should never be lower than before. Those companies which disobey the rules will be fined and criticized openly on the media.

晚育问题
Task:In some countries around the world men and women are having children late in life. What are the reasons for this development? What are the effects on society and family life?
Sample answer:
In the modern world, young adults prefer to raise children late in their life. This essay will mainly analyze the potential reasons and how it will affect society and family life as well.
There are three main factors contributing to the postponed parenthood. In general, people who bear great pressure from their work are less likely to prepare childbirth early, considering that they may have little time to attend their children. This problem can also be attributed to the high cost of modern life. The young people without adequate savings will probably be afraid of high living cost and expensive tuition. Another reason for this is the difficulty in balancing work and life. More young people emphasize the promotion in career, and thus spare little time for a stable marriage life which is viewed as a significant element for rearing children.
It cannot be denied that late childbirth is able to provide more time for young couples to be ready for the new members in their families. They need to learn how to raise children before they decide to have children. In addition, if they delay childbirth, they can provide more economic support for children’s rearing and education.
However, the low birth rate will cause an increase in aging population. It is widely known that most medical needs and costs occur in the last years of life. Therefore, young people have to face the need to care for the elderly family members. From the perspective of the society, due to a shift in the age structure of the workforce, an aging society with a low birthrate is likely to encounter labour shortage. To summarize, the delay in having children is mainly attributed to the stress and strains men and women bear in both their life and work. Although this may help them better prepare for their children’s development, the negative effects on both society and family life cannot be ignored.

提高道路安全
Task:Some people think that the best way to improve road safety is to increase the minimum legal age for driving cars and motorcycles. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is sometimes argued that increasing the minimum age for unsupervised driving is the optimal way to ensure road safety. While the proposal seems feasible, I believe other solutions should be fully considered as well.
On the one hand, I agree that teenage drivers are more likely to have collisions on the road, compared to drives in other age groups. This is because young driver, especially those who are in adolescence, tend to overestimate their driving abilities and underestimate the dangers on the road. For example, because of behavioural characteristics of youth, adolescents have a weak awareness of safety. They are very likely to drive faster than the speed limit or mimic those dangerous shots shown in the movie, such as drifting, which can lead to car accidents on roads.
Nevertheless, apart from controlling the legal age strictly, I believe that other measures can be taken to prevent deaths and serious injuries. Firstly, the government might set higher standards for testing drivers’ ability to drive and prolong the training time since better prepared drivers and riders can reduce the number of incidents. Besides, a right attitude plays a vital role in ensuring the road safety. For instance, eating, drinking, or talking on the phone while driving should be prohibited as these activities might distract driver's attention and cause some unexpected consequences. Finally, for those disqualified drivers, who have serious crash record, retest is a must.
In conclusion, although the lowest legal age can prevent some disqualified drivers on the road, other considerations are equally important in tacking this issue.

People in all modern societies use drugs, but today's youth are expertimenting with both legal and illegal drugs, and at an increasingly early age. Some sociologists claim that parents and other members of society often set a bad example.
Discuss the causes and some effects of widespread drug use by young people in modern day society. Make any recommendations you feel are necessary to help fight youth drug abuse.
Youth drug abuse is a serious problem nowadays in many cultures. Not only is illegal drug use on the rise, but children as young as 10 years old are experimenting with alcohol and tobacco. The reasons for this behaviour are unclear, but certain sociologists blame the examples set by their elders. Parents who drink and smoke to excess are, in effect, telling their children that it is acceptable to abuse their bodies with drugs. Consequently, children may have a similar view towards illegal drugs, even if their parents are against their use. In addition, drug use shown on television and in films can only confuse children who are also taught at school that drug abuse is wrong.
The pressure on young people to perform well at school in order to compete for jobs is a possible cause of the problem. Many believe they cannot live up to their parents' expectations, and feel a sense of hopelessness. Also, the widespread availability of drugs means teenagers are faced with the temptation to experiment. Drugs are used as a means of expressing dissatisfaction with the pressures they face in society.
The effects of drug abuse are well known. Many young people's talents are wasted, and addiction to hard drugs can cost a user his or her life. Furthermore, those who drink and drive may be involved in fatal road accidents. The cost to society is great, and enormous amounts of money are spent on convicting drug dealers and on education programmes.
To conclude, I recommend that the only sensible way to solve this problem is to educate young people about the dangers of drug use, and to take steps to reduce the pressure of competition placed upon them.
The advantage and disadvantage of the advertisement Advertisement is omnipresent in our modern society. It seems wherever we go, such small ads will greet our eyes: the supermarket, the subways, the stop sighs, the walls of public buildings, the garbage cans, and whatsoever. The ads can be about everything from selling mobile phone, renting houses, treating difficult diseases to producing fake diplomats.(from domestic articles to machinery, from toys to aircrafts.)It's no exaggeration that we live in the world of advertisement. The advantage of the ads is self-evident. They provide us with a good collection of goods and service, from which we can make our best choices. For the manufacturer, they can take advantage of the ads to project the characters of their products so as to seize the vision of the consumers and gain them huge , we cannot belittle the disadvantages of the ads. ①To many ads do spoil our daily life and waste our time. They interrupt the TV programs, filling our letterbox, and ruin our appreciation of nature in place of interests. People often feel burdened with the ads instead of satisfying with them. ②On the other hand, some of the ads are illegal, spreading false information and planning to treat people who are eager to solve their 's high time we took urgent and effective measures to curb this phenomenon. ①Firstly, we should intensify the effects to supervise the ads markets. It's crucial that we must regulate the ads market strictly to avoid someone's availing himself or herself of the loophole of the market management. ②Secondly, whoever takes advantage of ads treating consumers should be punished or imprisoned. ③Thirdly, we should educate people to abide by the law and give priorities to honesty and credit. Only when putting these measures into practice, will our society be purified into a paradise for us to live in. 广告的利与弊 广告在当今社会中无处不在。

More and more people are migrating to cities in search of a better life, but city life can be extremely difficult. Explain some of the difficulties of living in a city. How can governments make urban life better for everyone?
范文:
Cities are often seen as places of opportunity, but there are also some major drawbacks of living in a large metropolis. In my opinion, governments could do much more to improve city life for the average inhabitant.
The main problem for anyone who hopes to migrate to a large city is that the cost of living is likely to be much higher than it is in a small town or village. Inhabitants of cities have to pay higher prices for housing, transport, and even food. Another issue is that urban areas tend to suffer from social problems such as high crime and poverty rates in comparison with rural areas. Furthermore, the air quality in cities is often poor, due to pollution from traffic, and the streets and public transport systems are usually overcrowded. As a result, city life can be unhealthy and stressful.
However, there are various steps that governments could take to tackle these problems. Firstly, they could invest money in the building of affordable or social housing to reduce the cost of living. Secondly, politicians have the power to ban vehicles from city centres and promote the use of cleaner public transport, which would help to reduce both air pollution and traffic congestion. In London, for example, the introduction of a congestion charge for drivers has helped to curb the traffic problem. A third option would be to develop provincial towns and rural areas, by moving industry and jobs to those regions, in order to reduce the pressure on major cities.
In conclusion, governments could certainly implement a range of measures to enhance the quality of life for all city residents.

题目:
people today can perform the everyday tasks as shopping, banking or even business transactions, without meeting others face-to face. What effects will this phenomenon have on individuals and society as a whole?
分析:
例文分析:
开头段(不少于3+1句) The interactivity of the Internet and the mobile phone has enabled a multitude of people to purchase their desired items or pay their phone bills without stepping out of their offices or homes. And many others can even register for tests or sign contracts online. This sweeping trend of going about everyday business in the virtual world has triggered a marked decline in face-to-face contact between people . Thus it is essential that we identify the implication of this trend on both individuals and society as a whole.
英文里表达“从事”一件事情 go about / conduct /perform 表示影响可以替换的单词:Implication/ repercussions, impact, influence
主体段1(不少于1+6句) The impact of this phenomenon on individuals is profound. First, Individual efficiency in business transaction and banking will be greatly enhanced. And those who dread shopping are spared the chore of browsing around in shops. Secondly, the increasingly sedentary lifestyle will engender a higher incidence of ailment. More overweight people means more patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases such as vein hardening, diabetes and hypertension. Thirdly, the absence of face-to –face contact may induce distrust between business partners. An inherent sense of disbelief is apt to ruin a telecommunicated negotiation when negotiators can only see videos of each other transmitted via the Internet.

主体段2(不少于1+6句) This trend also has widespread repercussions on society as a whole. In the first place, the burgeoning e-commerce will, doubtless, boost corporate efficiency immeasurably. And higher efficiency means more earnings and less costs for businesses. In the second place, online fraud, be it banking or trading, retail or wholesale is sure to abound in the cyberspace. We must search for practicable and effectual means of curbing it. In the third place, the proliferation of e-commerce may exacerbate man’s overdependence on technology. And that can render our lives unspontaneous and our tempo of life too fast and furious.
让…..进一步恶化aggravate exacerbate worsen
结尾段(不少于2句) In sum, there is no denying that the virtual is exerting influence on our lives in various ways . It is a key that we take advantage of the upside of this trend and in the meantime mitigate its downside as much as possible.

题目:论广告的利与弊 正文如下:With the development of informatization, people have more and more chances to choose the commodities they like. But the more goods exist, the more confusion people feel in choosing one. Therefore, advertisement stands out to take the responsibility for people to choose the products they prefer. But advertising has advantages and disadvantages. Some people are in favor of it, while some are on the contrary. As for me, I'm in the neutral place.随着信息化的发展,人们有更多的机会选择自己喜欢的商品。
但是商品越多,人们在选择的时候就越困惑。因此,广告站出来帮助人们选择他们喜欢的产品。
但是广告既有优点也有缺点。有些人赞成,而有些人则相反。
至于我,我在中立的立场。On the one hand, advertisements help people have a better understanding about products. Advertisements always tell people the advantages and functions of the products. People can buy the things they want by reading advertisements. By the way, advertisements are free for consumers. Moreover, advertising is much more interesting than the instructions on the packaging box, because advertisements contain various factors, such as pictures, videos, voice plots and so on. Don't you think it is a good way for choosing a product?一方面,广告有助于人们更好地了解产品。
广告总是告诉人们产品的优势和功能作用。通过阅读广告人们可以买到他们想要的东西。
顺便说一下,广告对消费者是免费的。而且,广告也比包装盒上的说明书要有趣得多,因为广告包含各种元素,如图片,视频,情节等。
难道你不觉得这是选择产品的一种好方法吗?On the other hand, sometimes advertisements are tempting and deceptive. In order to attract the target customers, the advertiser will fill the content of decorating expressions, regardless of the filthy measures they have taken or the severe damages they may bring about. The advertisements always exaggerate the advantages and functions of the products. As a result, they mislead consumers to buy things that are not deserved.另一方面,有时候广告是具有诱惑性和欺骗性的。为了吸引目标客户,一些广告商为了满足修饰产品的作用,而忽视他们使用的一些肮脏措施,或者他们所带来的严重损害。
广告经常夸大产品的优势和功能作用。结果,他们误导了消费者购买不值得的东西。
To sum up, advertisements have the good side and the opposite side. If we just take them as a reference, it will be good. But if we depend on them to buy things, we may suffer losses in the end.总之,广告有好的一面也有不好的一面。如果我们只是把它们当成是参考,广告会是好的。
但是如果我们依赖于它们来买东西,我们最后可能会遭受损失。
