*EG 2. Some people say that advertising is extremely successful at persuading us to buy things. Other people think that advertising is so common that we no longer pay attention to it.* *Discuss both views and give your opinion.*

Certain persons have the notion that
advertisement
has become so ordinary that it no longer catches customers' attention due to the fact that almost every
product
in the market is now being advertised and marketers use
this
medium to coax people into buying things they do not have need of.
Although
this
view may not be completely wrong, in my opinion,
advertisement
of goods is so necessary

convincing people to purchase
such
products because it is less expensive and ensures wider information distribution of the
product
among the people. On the one hand,
advertisement
is viewed by some persons as so trivial because
first
off, every commodity in the market is now being advertised which creates an impression of insecurity of the manufacturer in the mind of the public. Driven by a desire to outshine competitors, producers damage customers'
interest
with floods of publicity, eventually getting to the point where customers learn to live above the noise.
Furthermore
,
advertisement
is perceived as a means of subtly getting people to buy goods they have no need of as producers go as far as using the face of popular celebrities on their products' cover
thus
driving people into purchasing the products even if they will not use them.
For example

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
