Some people say that advertising encourages us to buy things that we really do not need. Others say that advertisements tell us about new products that may improve our lives. Which viewpoint do you agree with? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Advertisement is a means of creating
awareness
about certain products and services that improve our lives. Some school of thoughts
have come
Suggestion
has come
up to say that advertising enhances impulse buying. In my opinion, I agree with the idea that advertisement informs us about new products and prices which improves life.
To begin
with, the main purpose of advertising products is to create public
awareness
of the goods in the market. Advertising aids public perception and acceptance of the products and services. If some products are not advertised, there won’t be public knowledge of them.
For instance
,
few years
Suggestion
a few years
ago, my family had to go on vacation to Miami and we needed a travel agent to help with our bookings. We got a good consultant from an Ad my dad saw in the daily magazine.
Also
, there are certain products that have been improved
as a result
of advancement in technology. These products can only be purchased by people who are aware of its upgrade.
In addition
, the various channels of advertisement enhance public
awareness
of product prices.
This
would protect consumers from
price
exploitation and ensure
price
reduction among competitors.
For instance
, a study in 2018 by the Small-Scale Association revealed that the
price
of all 250g of detergents
in
Suggestion
on
the Nigerian market
are
Suggestion
is
at
Suggestion
on
par.
This
was
as a result
of Klin advertising its products for N500, all other
producer
Suggestion
producers
of similar brand had to lower their
price
to the advertised
price
. In conclusion, advertising may have its own drawbacks,
however
, I agree that advertising is a useful tool to
improving
Suggestion
improve
the lives of people as product availability and
price
awareness
are made known to the public.

Include an introduction and conclusion

A conclusion is essential for IELTS writing task 2. It is more important than most people realise. You will be penalised for missing a conclusion in your IELTS essay.

The easiest paragraph to write in an essay is the conclusion paragraph. This is because the paragraph mostly contains information that has already been presented in the essay – it is just the repetition of some information written in the introduction paragraph and supporting paragraphs.

The conclusion paragraph only has 3 sentences:

  • Summary
  • Restatement of thesis
  • Prediction or recommendation

Example:

To summarize, a robotic teacher does not have the necessary disciple to properly give instructions to students and actually works to retard the ability of a student to comprehend new lessons. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of running a classroom completely by a machine cannot be supported. After thorough analysis on this subject, it is predicted that the adverse effects of the debate over technology-driven teaching will always be greater than the positive effects, and because of this, classroom teachers will never be substituted for technology.

Start your conclusion with a linking phrase. Here are some examples:

  • In conclusion
  • To conclude
  • To summarize
  • Finally
  • In a nutshell
  • In general
